Le nombre d’espèces qui nous entourent est si important qu’il peut être ardu, même pour les spécialistes, de toutes les identifier. Cela est particulièrement vrai pour les insectes. De plus, avec l’avènement des technologies mobiles de l’information, la quantité et la qualité des images disponibles n’a jamais été aussi importante. Grâce aux appareils photos numérique […]

We build up chatbots for commercial companies to serve their needs, such as customer services. Within the whole chatbot building platform, there is one core component which is the short text similarity calculation component. We would like to improve our calculation capability for matching similar questions, as well as recommend related questions for the customers […]

Crosslight Inc. is a leading provider of technology CAD tools for the design and simulation of semiconductor devices. They are also developing innovative gallium nitride (GaN) HEMT which is considered as one of the next generation materials for power electronics. Because of the material properties of GaN are different from the traditional silicon semiconductor devices, […]

Electric vehicles (EVs) industry is a promising solution to address the oil crisis and environmental pollution. There are some challenges that limited the widespread adoption of EVs such as limited driving range, long charging time, and safety consideration. To tackle these challenges, the battery management system (BMS) in electric vehicles requires substantial improvement. For instance, […]

This project aims at studying the powder characteristics in the laser powder-bed fusion of Ti-6Al-4V. As an additive manufacturing technique, the laser powder-bed fusion process produces metal objects layer-by-layer using a laser source. Ti-6Al-4V is being used in the aerospace industry because it offers high strength-to-weight ratio and outstanding corrosion resistance. This collaborative work between […]

The Conversation Canada (TCC) is an independent news startup that specializes in short-form, evidence-based explanatory journalism written by experts in universities and curated by professional journalists. TCC is supported by a consortium of universities, agencies, and governments. News articles are freely available online and may be republished at no cost under a Creative Commons license. […]

In today’s quantum computing environment, access to all major hardware providers is entirely cloud-based. As a result, large enterprises and other privacy-sensitive users are limited in their ability to experiment with quantum computers. Many have simply chosen to forego experimentation with quantum computers altogether. A careful application of recent research is vital to address this […]

There is a paramount need to treat symptoms, find cures, and reduce/contain the virus’s continuous spread due to the global pandemic caused by the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). The most life-threatening symptoms of COVID-19 result in severe respiratory failure due to pneumonia complications. While antiviral treatments and vaccines are under development globally, patients in critical condition […]

In online shopping, search results often have inherent ambiguity. Two customers using the same term as search query might have completely different expectations of the displayed results. For example, when the users type in the query “headphone”, some of them might expect over-ear headphone with passive noise isolation, while others might expect in-ear headphone with […]

While taking foreign language tests, people may respond in languages other than the expected one. Typical scoring systems are trained only on the expected language, so unexpected language responses can have unusual results in speech recognition and scoring. Pearson would like to develop a more robust system for the automated speech recognition machine to know […]

SOTI SNAP is an application development platform that allows users to create applications with little or no programming knowledge. By utilizing a block-based approach, users can drag and drop blocks and pre-made widgets and connect together to create applications in minutes. Apps made using SOTI SNAP can run on both Android- and iOS-based devices. The […]

Highly infectious COVID-19 has had widespread effects on Canadian and global health, security, and economy. While vaccines play a key role in preventing viral diseases, various measures should be taken to slow their spread. Among preventative measures, disinfection systems are of paramount importance to battle COVID-19. The objective of this project is to design and […]
