Research into so-called computational displays has shown that new and extended imaging modes can be made possible by augmenting novel optical design with computation. Examples include highdynamic range display via local LED backlights and multilayered autostereoscopic (glasses free 3D) displays. While there has been considerable progress in standard television form-factors, this line of research has […]

This project proposes an integration of explainable AI with NFT/Blockchain primarily for event organizers and ticketing systems. The purpose of this integration is to overcome the drawbacks of individual technologies and work in coherence for mutual benefits. The XAI based decision making supported by predictive maintenance and automation of event critical processes will enable event […]

This project aims to advance the development of a 3D shape generation software that uses generative adversarial networks to design dental crowns. A current prototype version of the software has been developed that allows generating dental restorations represented as point clouds. While currently generated shapes are coherent with the overall generation context of the crown, […]

Skill Squirrel has developed a web-based platform designed to help people in career transition, and challenged with accessing relevant career services. It serves to offer more purposeful matchmaking between job seekers, learners, trainers, and employers, while also reducing the workload of career services organizations (CSOs) and professionals that offer job search assistance, education recommendations and […]

Image composition is an operation that incorporates an object extracted from a source image to incorporate it inside a target image. This simple operation has a lot of practical applications in the advertisement, entertainment, and movie industries. However, it is tedious for an artist to achieve realistic image compositions. Indeed, it requires different lighting, shadows, […]

We aim to provide companionship, distraction and engagement for seniors who would prefer social interaction to being alone. Fundamentally, the technology we intend to develop and, by the end of the grant, deploy on a trial basis in a long-term care facility, would present a conversational nurse or care provider avatar with whom the seniors […]

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an emerging need of using new advances in information and communication technologies (ICT) to improve our healthcare system to manage a massive influx of patients. Indoor geolocation techniques and optimized traffic management algorithms are substantial for serving a large number of patients in healthcare centers while respecting procedures […]

Many conversational agents blend the functionalities of question-answering and chit-chat into a single system. This lays the foundation for a more interactive type of question-answering models which is the primary focus of the research project. Interaction between a user and the agent allows the user to ask an underdefined or ambiguous question, and, instead of […]
