Shopify has a well-developed partnership with universities for a work-integrated Bachelor of Computer Science degree. It is in their best interest to see their student interns successfully transition to the work place. In the application part of this study, we will use a fuzzy cognitive map (that is, a special type of a graph) to […]

The task of sentence simplification can present itself in multiple forms. It could consist in correcting the punctuation of a sentence like so: Avant : J’ai acheté un bateau je l’aime beaucoup. Après : J’ai acheté un bateau. Je l’aime beaucoup. However, a sentence can be both long and written correctly. In this case, it […]

Machine-transcription of speech into text is very helpful in many scenarios. Consider the case of machine-transcription of conversation between a Doctor and a patient. If we are able partition and identify the segments of patient’s speech from those of doctor’s, then the transcribed text is more structured and can be more helpful for further use. […]

The Internet of things is a global infrastructure that enables advanced services by interconnecting physical and virtual things like smartphones, sensors, computers, machines or buildings. These devices typically create enormous amounts of data that can be used to create business value. Mnubo offers a software dubbed Smart Objects that is a comprehensive, full stack IoT […]

SOTI has developed a software product called SOTI SNAP that is designed to allow anyone to create an app with no programming or technical knowledge. SOTI SNAP allows users to drag and drop widgets onto a canvas and connect them together to create an app. Apps generated with SOTI SNAP have cross platform capabilities, they […]

Networks are moving towards being adaptive. This means that automation will be used to replace processes which are today highly manual. This project proposes a development of knowledge in the area of algorithms required to enable adaptive networks. The project will train two PhD students to understand optical networks and devise optimization algorithms in the […]

G networks have emerged as a promising solution for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to offer ultra-fast mobile broadband and ultra-low latency services with exceptional reliability for consumers. By leveraging softwarization, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), MNOs can offset the high capital and operational expenditures incurred due the additional deployment of legacy equipment. […]

Analytical applications in large organizations across even intermediate time ranges are often made complex, costly or even impractical due to temporal inconsistencies in the available data. The ever-changing nature of organizations causes categorical labels in data to change over time. This is particularly true for HR data, as the organization adjusts to changes in skillsets, […]

Voices.com, the largest online marketplace for voice talent, have identified Machine Learning as an enabler for future growth. In particular, incorporating Natural Language Processing (NLP) into structured queries and automatic classification of sample recordings. The first phase of this research involving NLP is in the process of being integrated into production. The second phase will […]

Based on the user’s geo-location, timestamp and other attributes (eg. time of day, past visit history and app behavior categories, etc.), a machine learning algorithm can be developed to find which cluster the users belong to. Overall, the data of geo-location and timestamp are used to roughly locate the potential clusters. This project will involve […]

Progress monitoring is an essential task in all construction projects. A proper progress monitoring can minimize the level of project overruns, which is very common among construction projects but incurring significant loss to public and private funds annually. Manual methods of progress tracking are too infrequent to represent continuous and live insights about the workplace. […]

Injury is a leading cause of death and disability world-wide, however rates are especially high for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Trauma registries— databases that document information on the injured patient related to the injury event, demographics, process of care, and outcome— are commonly used in high-income countries and have proven extremely effective in reducing […]
