Validation of a Computer Vision-Based Basketball Training Application

The proposed research project aims to advance the development of a novel basketball training application catered to youth basketball players. The prototype application designed by Pipeline Studios Ltd. uses machine learning to record and track youth basketball performance in a fun and entertaining atmosphere. The research project is designed to pair experts in human movement […]

Self-tuning servers within IBM cloud

Modern cloud-based applications are deployed as isolated processes in containers or virtual machines. These applications frequently require tuning by the application developer (or a DevOps engineer) in order to extract the requisite performance. For example, a Java application executing within a Docker container may have radically better performance if the host JVM runs with a […]

A Principled Approach to Developing Machine Learning Models for the Synthesis of Structured Health Data

Under the current pandemic of Covid-19, sharing health record data has tremendous benefits to control the spread of the infection and save lives globally. In medical research and discovery, Electronic medical records (EMRs) play the essential role for medical discovery in two categories, namely 1) cross-sectional study and 2) longitudinal study. Cross-sectional study compares different […]

Let’s Do This Together! Developing a Knowledge-based Documentary Media, Community of Practice and Institute at the University of New Brunswick

Academic institutions and funding agencies are increasingly asking their researchers to conduct more outreach activities, including knowledge-mobilization endeavours. However, researchers often lack training and/or resources to effectively communicate with non-academic audiences. Using the DOCTalks Guide: Cross-sector Collaborative Practices for Knowledge-based Documentary Media, we propose a DOCTalks Institute for Knowledge-based Documentary Media and an associated Community […]

Development of Machine Learning Algorithms for Inferring Biomarkers Underlying Multi-Modal Physiological Signals of Patients with COVID-19

COVID-19 is a global pandemic disease and the best way to stop it is controlling its spread and treating the infected individuals. Detailed measures of clinical characteristics and outcomes in patients with COVID-19 like Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) are not accessible to a large population and require patients to spend hours waiting at the […]

Algorithmic and Interface Advances in Computer Algebra

Computer Algebra Systems (CAS), with their unique ability to analyze and solve mathematical problems, are gathering new communities of users, who challenge them with more and more complex tasks. It is necessary, therefore, that the core engines of CAS implement state-of-the-art algorithms. At the same time, CAS need to build new bridges to specialized software […]

Quantification of climate change impacts of selected construction material supply chains

Research the existing stock of Environmental Product Declarations and underlying Product Category Rules in selected material categories including wood, steel, and glass. Evaluate the accuracy and comparability of the population, identify top sources of embodied carbon impact variation in the supply chain, and provide estimates of the sensitivity of the embodied carbon impact of those […]

End-to-End Vulnerability Analysis of a No-Trust IoT Security Ecosystem

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) combine communication and information technology functions to the physical components of a system for purposes of monitoring, controlling, and automation. The power grid is becoming one of the largest CPS, where grid components are controlled based on the synergies in the cyberspace. CPS hold a great promise to improve the efficiency and […]

Establishing a Standard of Proof for Public Health Threats: Exploration of the Use of Precaution and Weight of Evidence

Emerging public health risks are typically characterized by uncertainty in the evidence-base (i.e., a mosaic of clinical, laboratory, and/or epidemiological evidence, that is often unclear and not uncommonly conflicting). Given this uncertainty, it is often difficult for decision-makers to discern if action is warranted. The question of how compelling the evidence base ought to be […]

Digital Storytelling for Social Justice: Impact assessment, Producer Approach, and Strategic Communication in an age of New Media

This study aims to evaluate and measure the impact of a Canadian produced documentary, I am Rohingya, A Genocide in Four Acts. By critically analysing the intended and unintended outcomes of this award-winning documentary, producers whose aim is to enhance their socially minded production process, can learn how to improve their techniques through feedback and […]
