The ultimate aim of this project is to design and develop methods and tools for classifying attributes of books such as genre, style, tone, and likelihood of being popular. Towards this end we will make use of various information types available on books and users of the Kobo catalog, including the text, meta-data associated with […]

Spending time in natural environments and nature-based programming is associated with significant health benefits. These outcomes are particularly important for young people, whose mental health and wellbeing continues to be a priority for healthcare. Recent studies show gaps exist in access to, and provision of, these nature-based opportunities. There is a need for further research […]

Acoustic telemetry is a rapidly expanding technology to quantify the movement and behavior of aquatic animals; key for developing effective management for aquatic ecosystems. Acoustic telemetry uses transmitters affixed to aquatic animals that are detected by receivers placed in aquatic ecosystems. An important problem that limits telemetry is the assumption that the detected transmitter represents […]

This application to MITACS supports the creation of an innovative mobile research lab. The Community Mobile Media Lab (CMML) is a purpose-designed mobile media production hub, which will house film production equipment that can be situated temporarily in communities we are collaborating with to explore innovative models of co-creation, training and mentorship. This infrastructure will […]

If you have an operation in your abdominal cavity (eg., C-section, hernia repair, appendectomy, gall bladder removal and many more procedures) your chances of having to go back to hospital and be re-operated due to intestinal occlusion, pain etc is 4%. Because these operations make up 5 of the 10 most common surgeries, this 4% […]

Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT have proven to be extremely effective at generating useful responses to a wide variety of user’s questions. However, they often struggle to generate meaningful and accurate responses to questions that are highly specialized, context-dependent, and requiring long-term attention. The goal of this project is to apply LLMs to accelerate […]

Today’s Canadian children and youth are bigger, weaker and less fit than they were a generation ago. Only 5% of children and youth meet the recommended Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines while spending 8.6 hours per day in sedentary pursuits. These results suggest that Canadian children today do not have the capacity to achieve and maintain […]

Sulvaris is a pioneer in developing carbon control technology (CCT) and micronized sulphur technology (MST). Fertilizers developed using those technologies provide carbon, nitrogen and sulfur, increasing crop yields and soil fertility. Further studies are needed to optimize formulations for the CCT and MST products, especially their efficacy in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The main […]
