The proposed project will be a collaboration between the Ottawa (ON) based integrated circuit (IC) company, Power Integrations Inc. and RIGA lab at University of Manitoba. The objective is to reduce power losses and meet international industrial standards for Power Factor Correctors. The result of this research project will assist the company to identify the […]

Threat attribution is crucial to detect attacks as early as possible and understand how attacks will proceed and the likely scope. This project will propose an explainable fuzzy deep neural network for cyber threat attribution. We obtain transparency and explainability via extracting fuzzy rules from DNN for cyber threat attribution. Indeed, this model, via providing […]

The aim of this study is to evaluate the short-term effectiveness of a household food waste reduction intervention that, if effective, could be applied to the broader London, Ontario community in conjunction with the forthcoming implementation of a municipal green bin program. Household food waste represents one of the most important sustainability challenges that current […]

Recent advances in sensing, edge-computing devices (e.g., Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, especially deep learning (DL) models for computer vision and speech tasks, together have led to exponentially increasing AI applications in military, civilian and education scenarios. It is widely agreed that AI will be the driving force of the […]

Despite the vast literature that has accumulated around ERP technologies over the years, there is still a great need to better our understanding of the forces at play in the adoption of ERP technologies, and this, particularly in the context of small and medium size organizations. In addition, the field of enterprise architecture (EA) has […]

Web-based chat services are widely used by millions of customers today. However, few of them satisfy both service providers and recipients (customers).For instance, customers are continually complaining about long wait times and inadequate service. The technical challenge is to keep both the customers and the agent happy. To solve these difficulties, we plan to model […]

The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected communities that are already vulnerable to negative health, mental health, and economic outcomes, such as young people of colour and young sexual and gender minorities, including those at risk for and living with HIV. This project will train youth, age 18 to 25 years, from marginalized communities as collaborators […]

Since artificial intelligence will play a crucial role in our daily lives, it is important that, along with increased task performance, socially intelligent agents will be able to cooperate efficiently with humans. However, human social cognition is a recent evolutionary event that relies on an advanced cognitive architecture. While the unconscious brain, also referred to […]
