Frequent usage patterns generated can provide valuable information for several applications such as platform restructuring and recommendation. In this project, we aim to compare different practical methods, and to investigate the effect of user identity and user intention information on them. To that end, a technique and a framework need to be developed, in which […]

I am to import ten year’s worth of amassed historical data on news events, price movement of equities and public sentiment metrics to Microsoft Azure platform for study and analysis through the latest Data Mining techniques with an Economics point of view to uncover the hidden correlation and casualty between events and price movement of […]

The proposed research aims to target large-scale consumer-generated data to analyze, visualize, and make predictions out of. The data will be collected from the consumers to make assessments on their lifestyles, and will come in forms such as heart-rate variance, that is, being temporal data. Researchers with visual analytics background will apply new visualization techniques […]

Nature of the work: This project will assess a novel lululemon clothing ensembles during transitions between differing environments. Anticipated Outcomes: An optimization of the design of clothing ensembles for transitions between different environments is the anticipated outcome. Relevance: The project will provide garments for Canadians to improve their health, safety and comfort during outdoor activities. […]

With more and more buildings being controlled by automation systems, one would expect their energy performance to be optimised. This is not the case however. Buildings can still go out of tune, and building operators can become overwhelmed by the alarms sounding from the automation systems, not knowing how to prioritize them. SES consulting is […]

Maritime situation analysis is critical for dynamic decision-making in responding to real-world situations. Rapidly unfolding situations that pose an imminent danger or threat to critical infrastructure or public safety require interactive decision-making to enable a swift response. The main objective of this project is to design a robust methodical framework for the development of intelligent […]

The Northern Gateway Pipeline and similar projects propose to transport oil from Alberta to tidewater terminals in British Columbia and eastern Canada. Accidental release of petroleum distillates and related by-products would have consequences on the marine ecosystem. To evaluate spill implications for seabirds, we propose to develop and apply molecular tools to assess toxicological and […]

Diamond-bearing kimberlites are enigmatic deposits due to their complex volcanic plumbing systems and variable preservation. Diamond concentrations will vary greatly with deposit-type, however, it is often difficult to effectively distinguish between types (without drilling) due to alteration or poor preservation. Furthermore, while geophysical methods are well established and effective techniques for kimberlite exploration, they require […]

Enhancement of technology and computer science has helped researchers in multiple fields and industries, from health care to automotive industry. Smoking is one of the habits that could harm humans dramatically. Lung cancer, heart attack is just some of the diseases that come with smoking. A large number of people strive to quit smoking each […]
