Integration of R&D efforts produced from the Dalhousie Computer Science team in 2024 on AI Comparison capabilities for the application CODiii Rogue. Successful individual will be compiling an integrated python backend to a newly design UI with the injection of results from previous AI findings. In addition to the work outlined above, this project will […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

In the age of artificial intelligence, machines learn from vast amounts of data to make predictions and decisions. But what happens when we need them to “unlearn” something—whether to protect privacy, correct biases, or comply with regulations? Existing approaches to machine unlearning can be effective at removing specific data from a model’s memory, but they […]

This project focuses on developing a natural ingredient from fruit waste to be used in an agricultural product called a biostimulant, which helps plants grow better. The intern(s) will first work on extracting this ingredient using a special process that ensures it has the right properties for the final product. Then, they will mix and […]

Wind turbine generator power output and consumer electricity demand vary independently from one another. This presents a difficult situation for electricity grid managers as they attempt to exactly match demand using wind turbines and conventional generators (e.g. hydro, fossil fuels). Accurate forecasting of wind turbine generator power enhances management of the electricity grid, allowing for […]

There is a critical period during late gestation in humans and perinatally in atricial animals like rats and mice , during which the building blocks of energy homeostasis, including the hypothalamic regulation of food intake and energy balance become established. During this early postnatal period, neuronal dendritic and axonal elongation as well as pruning takes […]

Spending time in natural environments and nature-based programming is associated with significant health benefits. These outcomes are particularly important for Indigenous youth, whose mental health and wellbeing continues to be a priority for healthcare in Nova Scotia (NS). There is a need for further research that includes NS youth perspectives and identifies their experiences, needs, […]

This research project will explore how advanced artificial intelligence technology, specifically large language models (LLMs), can improve the Mental Health Assessment Tool (MHAT) developed by Harrison Healthcare. MHAT is a secure online tool designed to help primary care doctors identify and diagnose mental health conditions based on structured questionnaires and clinical guidelines. The project will […]

In many industries, particularly those using steam to heat or move heavy oil, keeping pipes and equipment as hot as possible is very important. When heat escapes, it lowers the efficiency of the operation, raises costs, and increases the carbon footprint. Insulation is supposed to keep heat inside, but it does not always work well […]

Population growth and reductions in arable productive soils around the globe have triggered a range of efforts to improve plant yield and harvest quality, including the development of more low-cost, environmentally sustainable, and reasonable approaches. Most of the attempts made to increase crop production are dependent on the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers to reinforce […]

Spot application of pesticides is one aspect of precision agriculture technology that may have promising economic, environmental and social benefits. However, the practical application of this technology is faced by several challenges including accurate detection of pests, simultaneous control of multiple nozzles, and formulation of suitable droplets under continuous opening and closure of nozzles. This […]

test it is difficult to get a correct diagnosis of lung disease, and most importantly to get started on the right treatments. In this study we will 1) describe the quality of breathing tests done in the community; and 2) compare review and interpretation of breathing tests by a doctor to an artificial intelligence algorithm […]
