Video game development involves complex debugging and quality assurance processes that require teams to analyze large amounts of technical information under tight deadlines. Developers and testers often rely on multiple disconnected tools, making it difficult to quickly identify problems, prioritize fixes, and make informed decisions. This can increase cognitive workload, slow down production, and affect […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in Canada to help make decisions and to deliver public services, but research shows that AI systems can unintentionally reinforce social inequalities, leading to unfair or discriminatory outcomes for minority groups. Biases can appear when AI systems are trained on incomplete or skewed datasets, when development teams lack diverse […]

Hate speech manifests in various forms, ranging from overt slurs to more subtle, coded messages known as dogwhistles. These dogwhistles allow speakers to convey apparently innocuous messages that include an additional controversial layer only recognizable to a specific subgroup. This duality enables plausible deniability for the speaker while reinforcing group identity among those who understand […]

In supply-chain management, organizations rely on a wide variety of structured and semi-structured analytical resources such as task flows and key performance indicators (KPIs) to plan, monitor, and adapt to changes. These resources undergo frequent review and adaptation, often necessitating queries and manipulations in numerous ways. Utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs), this project aims to […]

This project addresses the growing challenges associated with the increasing demand for Electric Vehicles (EVs) within the context of a global shift towards sustainable energy solutions. The surge in EV adoption, while beneficial for the environment, poses challenges on the energy grid due to frequent and high-powered charging, leading to more frequent peaks and potential […]

This project focuses on developing and evaluating automated methods for analyzing complex no-code automation workflows used in enterprise environments. Platforms such as Workfront Fusion and Make.com allow organizations to build powerful automations quickly, but as these workflows grow in size and importance they often become difficult to understand, maintain, and safely modify. Changes are frequently […]
