Speech Recognition for 9-1-1 Calls and Long Audio Clips

This research project has two goals. The first goal is to design and test software that will automatically transcribe 9-1-1 emergency calls and interpret their meaning with respect to the central facts of an emergency (who, where, and what occurred) as well as possibly when, why, and how the emergency occurred. The second goal is to design and test software that will automatically transcribe long recorded conversations into English text. By dividing a conversation into sensible pieces, each piece can be transcribed using existing software. The Edmonton Police Service receives much information in voice form, and this research project will potentially increase their ability to handle such information more efficiently in the future than at present. The research directly addresses the Edmonton Police Service’s two most pressing needs for cheaper transcription that cannot be met by existing software.

The Role of Micromobility in City-Building

The City of Edmonton developed the City Plan to help guide the growth of Edmonton towards the two-million people horizon. The City Plan envisions a more dense and sustainable City with a wide range of transportation options available for all Edmontonians. As Edmonton welcomes more people, additional transportation options will be required in the City. Increasing transportation options means that the City will need to direct more investment and effort towards enhancing the transit network, expanding the active transportation network, and ensuring street space allocation reflects the changing needs of Edmontonians. Micromobility plays a crucial role in achieving the goals and aspirations of the City Plan. This project will help explore the link between micromobility and the transportation and land use related targets in the City Plan. This work will help continue investment towards micromobility programs and projects.

Global Competitive Analysis

A young Calgary based company has acquired the global distribution rights to a patented technology that will dramatically change the lifecycle of concrete across a vast array of industries. The process chemically remediates the concrete in place providing massive cost savings, large reductions in GHG emissions and builging sustainability. The global impact is dramatic. The project involves completing an international competitive analysis leading to the development of a strategic/business plan outlining industry opportunities and value propositions. Be directly involved in drafting the future of the company through research, insight and collaboration.

Évaluation de l’efficience des institutions de microfinance (IMF) comme moyen de financement du secteur privé. Etude de cas au Panama

Ce projet de recherche consiste en une évaluation d’impact d’un nouvel outil de financement du secteur privé mis en place par Développement International Desjardins (DID) et financé par le fonds d’investissement Gestion FONIDI Inc., le Centre Financier aux Entreprises (CFE). L’objectif de ce dernier est d’octroyer des prêts de taille moyenne aux entreprises qui sont trop grandes pour profiter du microcrédit traditionnel mais pas encore suffisamment développées pour avoir accès aux banques commerciales. Après quatre années d’opération, DID et Gestion FONIDI souhaitent obtenir une évaluation de la portée d’action du CFE-Panama ainsi qu’une mesure de son impact sur l’évolution des entreprises financées et le bien être de ses clients et de leurs familles. Pour répondre à ce besoin, nous procéderons à une collecte de données sur le terrain et leur analyse nous permettra de quantifier l’effet de l’action du CFE-Panama en comparant deux groupes cibles: des clients du CFE et des entreprises non clientes.

Multitemporal analysis of the geomorphic behaviour of the Elbow River in Calgary, Canada

The City of Calgary has identified four locations along the Elbow River where erosion may be(come) of concern for the safety of the nearby urban areas. This project will study the change in the shape of the Elbow River over time and in different conditions in order to enhance the understanding of its behaviour. This will be done using terrain elevation data, aerial photographs and 3D laser scanning. The effects of the 2013 floods will also be studied, so that future responses to such events can be better anticipated and the safety of the adjacent environment can be safeguarded. It is expected that erosion will be of particular concern just downstream of the Glenmore Dam and that erosion of the outer river banks may undermine the safety of the urban vicinity.

The Caregiver Online Psychoeducation (COPE) Project: A Collaborative Response to the Increased Demand for Child Trauma Services

The Child Abuse Services (CAS) at Alberta Health Services previously approached our research team to collaboratively address the lengthy waitlists for children seeking to receive trauma services. Accordingly, an online module was co-developed to provide caregivers with initial resources while their child is on the waitlist. The present research will involve using qualitative research methodology to conduct focus groups with clinicians at the Child Abuse Services, caregivers, and youth over the age of 18 who have accessed the CAS to gather information on how to improve usability, feasibility, and acceptability of the Caregiver Online Psychoeducation (COPE) modules. The feedback gathered from individuals with lived experience will be incorporated to improve the modules.

The use of LSTM-RNN model to forecast end-of-life clothing in Canadian thrift stores

An excessive amount of end-of-life (EOL) textile in Canadian thrift stores have been reported since the first wave of COVID-19 in March 2020. The donated clothes have gradually filled the thrift stores and a management plan is urgently needed. The quantity and composition of EOL textile, as well as the seasonal variations, are poorly understood. This study proposes a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) model to examine EOL textile quantity and composition. Our partnering organization, MCC Canada, is one of the largest thrift chains in North America. Time series data in Saskatchewan stores will be used to train, validate, and test the RNN model. The final RNN model will then be used to forecast donated EOL textile temporally and spatially, improving the planning and operation of the local thrift industry. The proposed work will help the thrift industry to move closer to the establishment of a circular economy.

Développement d’un dispositif de monitoring de la pression non-invasive

Au Canada, en 2019, 35 000 patients ont subi un arrêt cardiaque. Le taux de survie est seulement de 10% et seulement 8% des patients auront un état neurologique leur permettant de retourner à la maison. L’objectif de notre projet global est de développer un système automatisé de gestion de la réanimation cardio-respiratoire. Le développement se fait en collaboration avec plusieurs partenaires dont Urgence Santé qui a identifié cette problématique comme un enjeu majeur autant pour les patients ainsi que pour son personnel.
Grâce à cette demande, nous désirons développer un capteur, sous la forme de timbre, qui permettra d’obtenir un monitoring de la pression artérielle et du débit cardiaque en continue et de manière non-invasive. Ce capteur sera utilisé dans le cadre de notre projet en arrêt cardiaque mais aussi de manière indépendante dans d’autres départements de l’hôpital et ainsi améliorer la qualité des soins et la sécurité des patients.

Testing the paternity hypothesis for male care in Rwenzori Angolan colobus

Most mammals require care from older individuals during early life. Mothers tend to be the primary caregivers during this time, but in some mammals, notably social carnivores, rodents, and primates, care can be provided by conspecifics. In most primate species, allomothers tend to be female, making infant care by males a rare behaviour. Recently, we documented high levels of infant handling (a costly behaviour) by adult males in a population of Angolan colobus monkeys. To better understand the selective drivers of male care in this subspecies, we have collected more behavioural data on infant handling as well as fecal samples for genetic testing. Using these data, we seek to determine whether males are more likely to handle infants whom they have sired. DNA was preserved in the field and shipped to the lab of Dr. Wikberg at the University of Texas at San Antonio, where DNA analysis will take place.
