Automated visual bug detection

Visual regression testing automatically analyzes gameplay sessions to detect visual bugs (also known as glitches in a game context). Visual bugs are bugs that can be detected by just looking at them, such as those related to texture and lighting, but also more complex ones like those related to the physics engine (such as a […]

Efficient vibration isolation for a cryogen-free dilution refrigerator

Quantum experiments and technologies often require temperatures as low as one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero. “Cryogen-free dilution refrigerators” are advanced instruments to reach and maintain such temperatures simply and economically. However, they come with the price of significant vibrations – mechanical noise that can be detrimental for many applications. The low-temperature community explored […]

Coal Derived Humic Products As Novel Adsorbents For Water Remediation

WestMET Group Canada operates four coal mines in Alberta. Humalite, naturally occurring from organic matter decomposition, is produced in large quantities during mining. Humic products from coal wastes may be more suitable than other sources due to high humic content, rawmaterial availability, low cost, application ease, and reduced coal waste accumulation and environmental impact. Westmoreland […]

Word Representation Learning for Detecting Malicious Chat Messages

Communicating with peers online is an increasingly popular activity for children and teenagers, which has led to growing concerns about bullying and other forms of malicious behaviour in online chat rooms and virtual worlds. Although some online forums are patrolled by human moderators, the amount of text being generated is typically too large even for […]

Optimizing Optical Coherence Tomography Scanning Efficiency with Low-Rate Acquisition and AI-Based Image Synthesis

Perimeter Medical has been developing a novel optical coherent tomography (OCT) technique combined with AI to analyze tissue edges quickly. This project aims to make the method faster by acquiring images more efficiently. This will help surgeons assess tissues quicker and shorten surgery times, which in turn will lead to less time for patients to remain […]

Quantitative scanning electron microscopy characterization to determine if microfibrillated cellulose is considered a nanomaterial in food, food-contact and cosmetic regulations

The proposed project will use microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) from the University of Maine Process Development Center (UMaine MFC) as a reference material to develop a robust dispersion, sample preparation, image capture, and image analysis methodology to determine whether it is considered a nanomaterial under different regulatory frameworks. The methodology will employ scanning electron microscopy (SEM), […]
