During the last few years, Breast Microwave imaging (BMI) has shown its potential as an alternative technique for breast cancer detection. BMI offers a variety of features, such as a high contrast between cancer and breast tissue and non-compressive image acquisition procedures which would make its use desirable in a clinical environment. Due to the […]

Frantic Films, headquartered in Winnipeg, MB, has developed a reputation for creating innovative, custom built R&D solutions. The intern’s research project will straddle both the worlds of microbiology and physical simulation in order to create a dynamic, physically-based model of the cytoskeleton within a cell.

NeuroRx is a Montreal, QC-based company which provides professional management of MRI-related study activities and delivers precise MRI outcome measurements that are performed in a regulatory compliant environment. The intern’s project will involve examining the computational issues associated with multi-dimensional analysis, namely, the computational efficiency and memory utilization, while creating an N-dimensional algorithm for segmenting […]

One of the problems in identifying trends in time series or spatial data is that there are usually so many irregularities or random fluctuations that the underlying trend is difficult to discern. Smoothing techniques can be used to reduce local irregularities (local in the sense of being close in time or geography) so that the […]

The intern’s project aims to provide a formal mathematical foundation to the weightings applied to terms used to describe complex models (eg mineral deposit models or landslide hazards) when measuring the similarity between models and existing natural phenomena such as mineral occurrences or seemingly dangerous slopes. These weightings are important to correctly matching models with […]

The goal of this research project is to study the impact of average spacing between trees in terms of the growth and the quality of the trees. This practice, called pre-commercial thinning, was performed at four different spacings of 2.1, 2.3, 2.5, and 2.8m, and an unthinned plot was left as a control. An initial […]

The main focus of this internship is to define and optimize geo-spatial operations for spatial queries, coordinate transformations, routing and topological error detection and correction. The intern will define and implement spatial operators on graphs to enable efficient analysis and retrieval of geo-spatial data.

Video games must be able to present things in ‘real time’, with no delays thus performance is critical. A modern processor can deal much quicker with information that is in one continuous section of memory as opposed to divided into smaller chunks. When information is split, it causes a delay in processing. The intern’s research […]

The objective of the internship is to develop better thresholds for minimum connection times between flights. These thresholds must be large enough to reduce the risk of passengers missing their connecting flights due to flight delays. On the other hand, lengthier connection times lead to increased costs as planes and crews must wait longer between […]

Machine translation has been an active field in Natural Language Processing. Although the quality of translation cannot reach that of a human, it is getting closer. One of the major sub-tasks in this field is ‘transliteration’, which is mapping the letters from the source language to the letters of target language. It would be useful […]

Eyeball Networks is a leading developer of software for the VoIP, video telephony and instant messaging industry. In this project, the intern will investigate and model user behavior of VoIP networks developed by the company. Based on a statistical user behavior model, he will then develop a test tool to collect specific Quality-of-Service performance metrics, […]

The increasing sophistication of distributed attacks on networked infrastructure has resulted in a requirement for tools capable of abstracting and alerting network managers of network status across multiple data sources. The basic objective of this project is to provide a framework for correlating information from multiple network sources into a cohesive picture of system status. […]
