Advancing Gene Expression Microarray Analysis: Assessing and Enhancing the Linear Combination Test Through Integration with Machine Learning Tools

Understanding which genes are involved in diseases is incredibly important because it helps us develop better treatments. By identifying these genes, scientists can better understand how diseases operate in our bodies and create more effective treatments. This also allows for the creation of personalized treatments based on a person’s unique genes, increasing their chances of recovery. However, finding these genes is a difficult task as there are thousands of genes in the human body and vast amounts of genetic data to sift through. This project aims to enhance a method called the Linear Combination Test (LCT) and use machine learning tools to optimize further its ability to identify disease-related genes, such as those responsible for COVID-19 and cancer. In the second step of this project, the improved LCT will be tested on real-world data to gauge its effectiveness. Additionally, user-friendly software tools will be designed to make it simple for other scientists to use. Our ultimate goal is to help find cures and improve the lives of those who suffer from diseases.

Development of Automation Innovation

BMM Testlabs is a private independent gaming test laboratory that provides testing, certification, and compliance services for various gaming platforms and jurisdictions around the world . It has been serving the gaming industry for over 40 years. We have opportunities that this project can address, specifically in the area of automation using full stack development and machine learning. Full stack development can automate various business processes, resulting in cost savings and increased productivity. Machine learning can be used to develop chatbots and virtual assistants that can understand and respond to natural language queries, improving customer service. Finally, both machine learning and full stack development can help businesses make data-driven decisions, leading to improved efficiency and competitive advantage.
Currently BMM Testlabs has challenges in obtaining available in-house resources to work fully on these projects. The two projects will complement and integrate with each other. This will help BMM Testlabs become more competitive. We will implement Machine Leaning into our Test Automation Framework utilizing the full-stack development of the front and backend. The machine learning will utilize the abundance of log information to obtain informed decisions about test cases and defects. A chatbot assist in the process.

Autonomous Navigation of a Drywall-Sanding Mobile Manipulator

Nowadays, many building contractors use modular construction, where various parts of a building are partially or completely built on an assembly line and then put together on the delivery site. Building interior modules often involve building and finishing plasterboard walls, including closing joints between panels and hiding fasteners or defects. To do so, a gypsum-based compound is applied, let to dry, and sanded iteratively to achieve a regular surface. This produces a considerable amount of fine dust, which can be a nuisance, especially in the closed space of a manufacturing plant. In this project, we are investigating how a mobile robot can automatically scan a room and position itself to perform the sanding task using a 7 degrees-of-freedom manipulator arm. This project builds on previous successful result in 2D sanding surface identification and sanding tool control, and aims at producing a complete solution for 3D environments.

Enhancing Digital Marketing and Business Intelligence for Hyspecs Eyewear

This project aims to drastically improve Hyspecs Eyewear’s digital marketing strategies and business intelligence capabilities. It seeks to leverage Zach Ketter’s academic background in Business Technology Management and his academic advisor Robb Somach to address real-world business challenges. The project focuses on the development and implementation of innovative digital marketing strategies and the use of analytics to drive strategic decisions, thereby enhancing the company’s market position and customer engagement.

Beyond the Book

The ultimate aim of this project is to design and develop methods and tools for classifying attributes of books such as genre, style, tone, and likelihood of being popular. Towards this end we will make use of various information types available on books and users of the Kobo catalog, including the text, meta-data associated with the text, and user features associated with readers of the text. This is a large undertaking. As a first step, the intern and research team will tackle the problem of genre classification, while keeping in mind that the task is one among a collection of desired automatic tagging tools for books. Through the use of NLP and machine learning techniques, books can be categorized and referred to readers via interests that they have expressed. This project is likely to provide valuable insight into both books and readers, allowing Kobo to provide users with higher quality recommendations, interesting reading lists, and deeper understanding of both books and users.

AI-Driven non-invasive spinal deformity management

Momentum Health is an AI-based digital health platform for remote spine care management. From a 45-second video taken on a smartphone, their technology creates a photo-realistic 3D Model of the patient’s body and using AI predicts the degrees of spinal curvature and assesses the patient’s spinal deformity from the surface topography. They were co-founded by one of the top pediatric spine surgeons, Dr. Jean Ouellet, to address the 40 Million and growing North American population living with spine deformities. In less than 18 months, they have launched clinical studies and pilots at top Hospitals, including UCSF, Texas Scottish Rite and SickKids Hospital; have received FDA 510K Clearance, where they are the first AI Device cleared under the dept. Of Physical Medicine, and they are backed by the largest orthopedic association in the world (https://www.aofoundation.org/). They are starting with spine, but their vision is that by using the phone’s camera combined with AI, they will build a next generation patient-empowered medical imaging platform.

The internship project at Momentum Health is focused on advancing the field of AI-driven spinal deformity management. The intern will work on developing sophisticated machine learning models to predict the progression of spinal deformities and adapt existing AI algorithms for direct 3D mesh data input, aiming to revolutionize spine care diagnostics and patient monitoring.
