When a person passes away, family members have to navigate a host of administrative tasks to settle their estate. Closing out accounts, cancelling subscriptions, filing paperwork, and figuring out how to handle an ever-increasing online presence, bereaved individuals can become overwhelmed by this work. This research project aims to understand how people currently navigate the […]

Deep learning and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are transforming industry by way of automation, connectivity and availability of information technologies. However, AI remains incredibly challenging and costly to implement, often requiring massive data centers and cloud computing to operate. This research seeks to develop optimization methods to create faster, smaller and more energy-efficient AI algorithms […]

The emerging 5G technology has tremendous potential in empowering a wide range of demanding applications. However, the 5G throughput can fluctuate wildly based on several factors like handoffs, user moving speed, user moving direction with respect to the radio base station, the terrain (e.g., obstacles between the user and the radio base station), the density […]

This project will involve using statistical modeling and machine learning techniques in order to identify significant factors that exist in user interaction logs collected from a social gaming system. Next, these factors will be used to inform, implement, and test an adaptive platform for managing and improving behaviors that relate to user experience and/or user […]

Due to the fast mobility of LEO satellites, ground users need to switch between LEO satellites frequently to keep the connection with the satellite network. The process of switching between satellites is called the handover process. Every handover process is associated with signalling overhead, processing delays, and data packet losses. The optimization of the handover […]

La télévision numérique par câble est un système de distribution de programmes de télévision aux abonnés par des câbles coaxiaux ou à fibre optique. Traditionnellement, toutes les chaînes demandées par les groupes de services sont envoyés à chacun des clients à tout moment, même sila plupart d’entre eux ne sont pas accédés. Le système DVC […]

An oyster seed source is essential for regular operations in the oyster aquaculture industry. Currently, oyster seed production in Nova Scotia is minimal. Instead, seed is collected in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island and then sold to farmers in Nova Scotia. The threat of invasive species and disease exposes a serious vulnerability of Nova […]

L’objectif général de ce projet de recherche est d’étudier des approches statistiques et computationnelles pour permettre l’analyse automatique des données structurées et non-structurées dans le contexte de décision péda-gogique et dans le cadre d’un outil tel que Reussito. Afin d’étudier la pertinence de ces approches, le projet se concentrera sur le développement des algorithmes d’analyse […]

Video Lottery Terminals (VLT) are common gaming machines for money usually found in various venues. These machines are anonymous and stateless and do not record any information about player’s identity. The data obtained from these machines is very complex and hard to analyse. The gaming industry is keen to understand how a game or a […]

Rapid and open dissemination of research is critical for the advancement of science. Preprint servers (such as MedRxiv, BioRxiv, PsyRxiv, and aRxiv) are becoming increasingly popular in health and medicine to share early research results, particularly in the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Given the need for rapid peer review, we need to innovate […]

The research project collaboration between APCI and WIMTACH will involve the identification of best technology methods and processes that will enable new modes of publishing to bridge the gap between the traditional paper and online methods. The focus will be on the efficiency of delivery so that cost models are minimized, opening new opportunities for […]

Through iterative design and experimentation, this research aims to overcome the technical challenge of creating an authentic and respectful representation of African American hairstyles in mainstream 2D Animation.
