Comparative analysis of deep learning and graph cut algorithms for cell image segmentation
(2020-08-01)
Image segmentation is a commonly used technique in digital image processing with many applications in the area of computer vision and medical image analysis. The goal of image segmentation is to partition an image into ...
Group representation learning for group recommendation
(2021-01-01)
Group recommender systems facilitate group decision making for a set of individuals (e.g., a group of friends, a team, a corporation, etc.). Existing group recommendation methods mostly learn group members' individual ...
Echo: reconstructing gameplay sessions for analysis
(2021-04-01)
We created Echo, a tool designed to help bridge the gap between game analytics and video footage analysis. Echo reconstructs gameplay sessions from recorded data and presents them with their original graphics. A comparative ...
Material properties and mechanical behaviour of large-scale additively manufactured multi-layered steels
(2020-03-01)
Metal Big Area Additive Manufacturing is an additive manufacturing technique based on gas metal arc welding. The systems’ dual nozzle design prints two steels simultaneously; in this study, the test samples are made from ...
Extending the relational model with constraint satisfaction
(2021-01-01)
We propose a new approach to data driven constraint programming. By extending the relational model to handle constraints and variables as first class citizens, we are able to express first order logic SAT problems using ...
Deep learning approach to discontinuity-preserving image registration
(2020-05-01)
Image registration is an indispensable tool in medical image analysis. Traditionally, registration algorithms are aimed at aligning image pairs using regularizers to impose smoothness restrictions on unknown deformation ...
Characterizing Plankton communities in Lake Ontario coastal wetlands along an urban land-use gradient
(2020-04-01)
This thesis presents the results of a study on the effect of habitat condition and water quality on plankton communities across an urban land-use gradient in the Lake Ontario coastal wetlands: Frenchman’s Bay, Lynde Marsh, ...
Understanding the carbon morphology in sulfonated-silica ceramic carbon electrodes for the PEM fuel cell device
(2020-03-01)
Using hydrogen and oxygen gas, the fuel cell is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. Particularly, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell, has multiple components, all that are consistently being ...
Synthesizing play: exploring the use of artificial intelligence to evaluate game user experience
(2020-03-01)
Digital games are a complex interactive medium providing a multitude of different experiences. The field of games user research (GUR) is dedicated to investigating and optimizing user experience in games. Such inquiries ...
Simulating a virtual drilling task using audio, visual, and mouse movement cues during the COVID-19 pandemic
(2021-04-01)
This work examined whether a real-world drilling task can be successfully simulated using combinations of appropriate audio, visual cues, and basic haptic stimuli obtained with mouse movements instead of a haptic device. ...
