Combining offline and on-the-fly disambiguation to perform semantic-aware XML querying by Tekli, Joe

“…Many efforts have been deployed by the IR community to extend freetext query processing toward semi-structured XML search. Most methods rely on the concept of Lowest Comment Ancestor (LCA) between two or multiple structural nodes to identify the most specific XML elements containing query keywords posted by the user. …”

The use of semantic-based predicates implication to improve horizontal multimedia database fragmentation by Getahun, Fekade

“…Identifying semantic implication between similar queries (if a user searches for the images containing a car, he would probably mean auto, vehicle, van or sport-car as well) will improve the fragmentation process. …”

Application of Metastructures for Targeted Low-Frequency Vibration Suppression in Plates by Ratiba F. Ghachi (14152455)

“…The thin plate and the zigzag cutouts are modelled using the finite element method, and the optimal location and optimal tip mass of the zigzag cutouts are obtained using genetic algorithms through iterative simulations. …”

CubeSat Communication Subsystems: A Review of On-Board Transceiver Architectures, Protocols, and Performance by Amr Zeedan (17983750)

“…Nevertheless, several directions for improvements are proposed such as the use of improved channel coding algorithms, Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), beamforming, advanced antennas, deployable solar panels, and transition to higher frequency bands. …”

An App for Navigating Patient Transportation and Acute Stroke Care in Northwestern Ontario Using Machine Learning: Retrospective Study by Ayman Hassan (14426412)

“…We aimed to develop an app using a comprehensive geomapping navigation and estimation system based on machine learning algorithms. This app uses key stroke-related timelines including the last time the patient was known to be well, patient location, treatment options, and imaging availability at different health care facilities.…”

Comprehensive whole genome sequence analyses yields novel genetic and structural insights for Intellectual Disability by Farah R. Zahir (18892108)

“…The <i>de novo</i> assembly resulted in unmasking hidden genome instability that was missed by standard re-alignment based algorithms. We also interrogated regulatory sequence variation for known and hypothesized ID genes and present useful strategies for WGS data analyses for non-coding variation.…”

An Intelligent and Low-Cost Eye-Tracking System for Motorized Wheelchair Control by Mahmoud Dahmani (18810247)

“…This paper proposes a system to aid people with motor disabilities by restoring their ability to move effectively and effortlessly without having to rely on others utilizing an eye-controlled electric wheelchair. The system input is images of the user’s eye that are processed to estimate the gaze direction and the wheelchair was moved accordingly. …”
