Le projet se penche sur la manière dont les idées entrepreneuriales des femmes et des minorités sont perçues et financées. Il explore si des stéréotypes basés sur le genre et l’appartenance à des groupes minoritaires influencent ces perceptions et les financements disponibles. En d’autres termes, le projet examine si des préjugés liés au genre et […]

LANGA is a project at Copernicus Studios (Halifax, NS) that is experimenting with the use of automated speech recognition in on-line video games to assist in language learning. Over the past 2 years, the company has been developing prototypes of the game and testing them in conjunction with the NeuroCognitive Imaging Lab at Dalhousie University. […]

Seafarers need ice navigation training to protect the safety of people, the environment, and ships while driving in ice covered waters. In this project, Virtual Marine’s simulators will be used to create a new method of delivering ice navigation training – an adaptive instructional system. In an adaptive instructional system, a computer develops a personalized […]

Alison’s research, conducted in partnership with the Burrowing Owl Conservation Society of BC, aims to better understand what is limiting the endangered burrowing owl’s population recovery in British Columbia. The Burrowing Owl Conservation Society of BC has implemented a species reintroduction program that includes breeding and releasing owls. They then track how many owls survive, […]

This project proposes to create a standardized methodology to collect, calibrate and process thermal drone imagery into ortho-rectified maps showing accurate temperature data for streams and rivers. These temperature maps are quickly becoming a useful tool with which to detect influxes of cold water that are critical for the preservation of salmon habitat. As our […]

Scoring essays is important for learning and business. With AI and machine learning, we can save time and resources by automating the process. This project looks at automatic essay grading from three angles. First, we generate more data using automatic methods called data programming. This helps improve the machine learning models. Then, we refine the […]

Recent studies have shown that the gut microbiome works as an organ of the human body which produces bioactive molecules and metabolites. Since the gut microbiome is in close interaction with the human internal environment and changes in the compositions of gut microbiota can impact host physiology through many pathways. Precise determination of gut microbiota […]

In addition to food uses, vegetable oils are increasingly a source for renewable biomaterials and biofuels. Recent progress in the development of a biobased economy is focused on introduction and improvement of novel crop plants for non-food applications. The proposed project is part of an international collaborative effort to develop camelina as a new industrial […]
