The project involves conducting a study to evaluate human performance in executing simple drawing tasks like drawing curves and lines from various directions. The study will help ascertain the accuracy and ergonomic aspects of 3D drawing. We will then use the results of the study to design a 3D sketching system combining augmented reality glasses […]

The research project will involve the development of features and techniques to aid people with communication disabilities through the use of consumer mobile devices (ex. smartphones) and tablet computers. Some of the major areas of interest include: location aware vocabularies, predictive sentence construction, and support for alternative input for people that also suffer from motor […]

The project would explore the use of modern techniques from the field of Machine Learning to identify networks from observational data. This is an important area of research in fields such as neuroscience and genetics, where it can shed light on the nature of various disease. Other applications include discovering influencers and communities in social […]

There is currently a great need to develop better imaging probes for studying biological process. In this proposed internship, Drs. Pacheco and Hashir will be evaluated an aluminum coated alloyed quantum dot system. These quantum dots are brighter than organic fluorophores and with the aluminum surface coating, these quantum dots are less pervious to environmental […]

This project aims to assess how the use of the novel “ultra-short echo-time” (UTE) MR imaging technology can “add value to” conventional MRI for detection and quantification of blood products in hemophilic joints. We will test this novel technology in joints of hemophilic patients with different stages of arthropathy presenting with blood products at different […]

The rise in adoption of online services for sensitive tasks such as banking and accessing public services, has led to increased security and data privacy requirements. Many institutions use third-party services for logging in and handling security. So you might enter a single username and password, connecting only once to access a number of different […]

Meta’s Bibliometric Intelligence is a service platform to provide automated and in-depth manuscript assessment to authors and publishers in biological science. This internship project is to develop a new version of Bibliometric Intelligence. The intern will apply state-of-art machine learning and natural language processing skills to improve its performance. Accurate assessment and profiling of manuscript […]

Firms meet legally established accounting rules by including notes in financial statements that essentially hide key information in plain sight. That is, they contain information necessary to understand the statements, but due to the volume of notes and arcane language may be uninterpretable by even lawyers. However, these notes may be interpretable by a software […]

Search and recommendations drive the majority of sales at KOBO. It is therefore critical to continually improve and tune these algorithms. Our project will explore several questions dealing with integrating information provided by users in order to optimize search and recommendation algorithms: how to integrate user-generated tags in order to enhance search (rather than simply […]

During the duration of the proposed project, the intern will become a member of the partner organization’s “Big Data” team, participating in all team activities, and completing research-oriented work for the team. The intern will complete research that will explore and improve upon previous methods of intelligently communicating with customers through personalized emails. This may […]

Unmanned aerial vehicles (also known as drones) constitute a sector of the Canadian aerospace industry that is growing very rapidly. Because there is a broad range of applications for drones, there is also a wide variety of drone configurations. This, coupled with the small size of drones, leads to a scarcity of convenient rules-of-thumb and […]

Many individuals with cleft palate have hypernasal speech, which affects speech intelligibility and acceptability and is socially stigmatizing. The proposed studies relate to the assessment and the behavioural modification of oral-nasal balance in speech. The first study will test a new assessment procedure for hypernasality and other oral-nasal balance disorders which will aid clinicians in […]
