SUMMARY:Cancer Level Detection System – Students Research in ML and DL at Durham College
DESCRIPTION:Cancer ranks as a leading cause of death and an important barrier to increasing life expectancy everywhere. According to available data\, lung cancer contributes the most to cancer deaths. Also\, according to available data\, those diagnosed early have a 50 percent chance of survival over those diagnosed with late-stage cancer. It means that early detection is paramount to the survival of a lung cancer patient\, leading to a reduction in the number of cancer deaths. We\, therefore\, evaluated six different machine learning algorithms to see which one performed optimally in accurately predicting the level of lung cancer development in a patient. We considered various parameters when choosing the dataset for this evaluation as the pathogenesis of lung cancer involves a combination of intrinsic factors and exposure to environmental carcinogens. We also considered varying the features in our data\, categorizing them under diagnostic risk factors (age\, gender\, alcohol use\, air pollution\, balanced diet\, obesity\, smoking\, passive smoker) and symptoms (fatigue\, weight loss\, shortness of breath\, swallowing difficulty\, frequent cold\, dry cough) and the inferences we drew from this indicated that those that have the symptom features prior to diagnosis had the highest chance of being diagnosed with a high level of cancer. The final results of our evaluation showed that the best levels of predictions on new data were achieved by optimized Random Forest\, KNN\, and SVM models. \nSpeakers: Rakesh Pattanayak\, Chisom Nnabuisi\, Dhruv Mistry\, Kar Chun Kan\, Shanuka Rathnayake \nRegister: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/312340

SUMMARY:Alert on Mask Detection System – Students Research in ML and DL at Durham College
DESCRIPTION:As a result of the fast development and spread of the COVID-19 pandemic throughout the world\, people’s everyday lives have been severely disrupted in recent times. One proposal for controlling the epidemic is to make individuals wear face masks in public. As a result\, we require face detection systems that are both automated and efficient for such enforcement. We propose a face mask identification model for static and real-time videos in this research\, and the pictures are classified as “with mask” or “without a mask.” The model uses a Kaggle dataset to train and test. The collected data set contains over 10\,000 images (considering 5\,000 with mask and similarly 5\,000 without) and has a 98 percent performance accuracy rate. The proposed model is computationally efficient and precise compared to Haar-Cascade & ANN. The application of this research are various\, including digitized scanning tool in schools\, hospitals\, banks\, airports\, and many other public or commercial locations. \nSpeaker(s): Henil Shah\, Neenu Markose \nRegister: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/312341

SUMMARY:High Order Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) for Divergence Constraint-Preserving Schemes (Prof. Dinshaw Balsara\, U. of Notre Dame)
DESCRIPTION:Join the IEEE Toronto Electromagnetics & Radiation Society Chapter for a talk on High Order Adaptive Mesh Refinement\, presented by Professor Dinshaw S. Balsara. \nAbstract: Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) is the art of solving PDEs on a mesh hierarchy with increasing mesh refinement at each level of the hierarchy. Accurate treatment on AMR hierarchies requires accurate prolongation of the solution from a coarse mesh to a newly-defined finer mesh. For scalar variables\, suitably high order finite volume WENO methods can carry out such a prolongation. However\, classes of PDEs\, like computational electrodynamics (CED) and magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)\, require that vector fields preserve a divergence constraint. The primal variables in such schemes consist of normal components of the vector field that are collocated at the faces of the mesh. As a result\, the reconstruction and prolongation strategies for divergence constraint-preserving vector fields are necessarily more intricate. \nIn this talk\, we present a fourth order divergence constraint-preserving prolongation strategy that is analytically exact. Extension to higher orders using analytically exact methods is very challenging. To overcome that challenge\, a novel WENO-like reconstruction strategy is invented that matches the moments of the vector field in the faces where the vector field components are collocated. This approach is almost divergence constraint-preserving; so we call it WENO-ADP. To make it exactly divergence constraint-preserving\, a touch-up procedure is developed that is based on a constrained least squares (CLSQ) based method for restoring the divergence constraint up to machine accuracy. With the touch-up\, it is called WENO-ADPT. It is shown that refinement ratios of two and higher can be accommodated. An item of broader interest in this work is that we have also been able to invent very efficient finite volume WENO methods where the coefficients are very easily obtained and the multidimensional smoothness indicators can be expressed as perfect squares. We demonstrate that the divergence constraint-preserving strategy works at several high orders for divergence-free vector fields as well as vector fields where the divergence of the vector field has to match a charge density and its higher moments. We also show that our methods overcome the late time instability that has been known to plague adaptive computations in Computational Electrodynamics. \nCo-sponsored by: Center for Computational Science and Engineering\, University of Toronto \nSpeaker(s): Prof. D.

SUMMARY:Fraud Data Analysis & Exploration using Interactive Tableau Dashboard – Students’ Research in ML and DL at Durham College
DESCRIPTION:Credit card fraud detection is an ever-growing problem in today’s financial market with a rapid increase in plastic card usage worldwide. According to the Nelson report\, by 2027\, financial service providers are expected to take a $40 billion hit globally in credit card losses\, a significant increase compared to previous years. Hence\, data-driven decisions can largely help in mitigating that risk. We chose this topic to deep dive into different aspects of Fraud Data Analysis & Exploration using Interactive Tableau Dashboard. Tableau dashboards can be very powerful in driving data-driven decisions. We created an interactive dashboard to help stakeholders or less technical people to drive insights\, understand data better\, and help in business decisions making. The interactive feature helps users to add filters as per their needs and understand the data in a way they want to analyze. Our dashboard is dynamic and would be updated when several filters are applied together. Multiple filters can be added to multiple charts at the same time. These charts are intuitive which makes even new users easily interact and understand the data. \nSpeaker(s): Priyanka Singh & Devy Ratnasari \nRegister: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/313201

SUMMARY:Visualization Techniques in Text Summarization of Online Transcripts – Students’ Research in ML and DL at Durham College
DESCRIPTION:Text summarization is a method for generating a summary of long texts by focusing on the sections that contain essential information while keeping the overall meaning intact. Its goal is to reduce the size of long documents\, which would be difficult and expensive to process manually. With the current explosion of data circulating in digital space\, particularly unstructured textual data\, there is a need to build tools that allow people to extract insights from it. Taking notes is a popular practice for many people employed in situations where it is essential to keep track of what is said\, such as during an online lecture. The art of note-taking does not entail taking down every single word stated but rather broad summaries of what is covered. Making succinct yet informative summaries is the key to successful note-taking. In this seminar\, we will be discussing how we have used visualization and data storytelling techniques in our project to make informed decisions. This project aims to address the difficulties of note-taking by building an application that produces notes based on the transcripts generated by the Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technology of the meeting platforms. We relied on visualization concepts for three major decisions that would define our project as a whole. These decisions are the choice of online meeting platform\, preference of text summarization model and the messaging platform choice. \nSpeaker(s): Manoj Varma Alluri\, Navaneeth Jawahar\, Sharath Kumar Prabhu\, Jeel Jani \nRegister: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/313207

SUMMARY:Visualization Techniques to Demonstrate the Cause of Climate Changes – Students’ Research in ML and DL at Durham College
DESCRIPTION:We might always be confused about climate and weather\, and what is the difference between each other? Weather refers to the day-to-day temperature and atmospheric conditions\, whereas climate is the average weather in a specific region over a long period. The simplest way to describe climate is to analyze the average temperature and precipitation over time. Climate change relates to the shift in the average conditions such as average temperature and rainfall in a region over a period. Global climate change describes the average long-term changes over the entire Earth. Global warming\, Rise in sea level\, and Shrinking Mountain glaciers are a few of the adverse effects of climatic changes. Greenhouse gases are the prominent factors for the rising temperature\, which is the main factor contributing to global warming. Among the greenhouse gases\, carbon dioxide is the main factor that traps the heat in the atmosphere\, which makes an increase in the overall temperature that can affect lives on Earth. Earth’s temperature has risen by 0.14° F (0.08° C) per decade since 1880\, and the rate of warming over the past 40 years is more than twice that: 0.32° F (0.18° C) per decade since 1981. We will try to find the possible reasons for climatic changes and the factors that contributed to the current situation. Moreover\, we will consider greenhouse gas emissions and their harmful effects on climatic changes\, different countries’ contributions to this global problem\, and measures taken by officials to reduce its impact. \nSpeaker(s): Neenu Markose\, Akhil Mathew \nRegister: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/313211

SUMMARY:Visualization Techniques in Cancer Level Detection System – Students’ Research in ML and DL at Durham College
DESCRIPTION:Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world. To tackle this menace\, pathologists need a faster and better way to diagnose their patients. This led the team to work on evaluating different machine learning models to find out which model works best in accurately predicting the level of cancer development in a patient. In the course of the project\, we explored different features of our datasets with the help of visualization tools like tableau and python data visualization libraries to enable us to see the relationship between each feature and the level of cancer in a patient. We also\, in the end\, evaluated the performance of each algorithm using python visualization tools to better understand which algorithms performed the best. \nSpeaker(s): Rakesh Pattanayak\, Chisom Nnabuisi\, Dhruv Mistry\, Kar Chun Kan\, Shanuka Rathnayake \nRegister: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/313212

SUMMARY:C/ID: A Design Methodology for Implementing Nanoscale Analog FET Circuits.
DESCRIPTION:Most of the existing circuit design methodologies are based on iterative methods\, which are very time consuming and sometimes far from being optimal. The process of analog circuit design is generally so complex that most designers rely mainly on their own intuition to design and move toward an acceptable design point\, which in many cases is based on a long process of trial-and-errors. There are two dominant circuit design methodologies used in academic institutions and industry: (1) Inversion-Coefficient (IC) method\, and (2) Gm/IDS (GmID) approach. While IC method is more analytical\, GmID require extensive device characterizations in order to create a comprehensive data-base describing device behavior in all modes of operations for different device sizes. Meanwhile\, designers need to develop their own optimization scripts to search through all possible design points and select the best fit for their application\, as these methodologies are not supported by the common EDA Tools. \nIn this seminar\, an improved design methodology will be introduced\, which lies somewhere between the two approaches. Called C/IDS\, the proposed design methodology requires prior knowledge on only few technology-dependent parameters\, which are very easy to extract. Due to its analytical nature\, this approach provides comprehensive design insight\, while the flow of design can be automatized easily. Several examples will be provided to show effectiveness of the proposed algorithm for implementing energy and power efficient circuits. A set of data points demonstrating how performance of analog circuits evolve with technology scaling will be provided. \nSpeaker(s): Armin Tajalli \nRegister: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/314527 \nBiography:Armin Tajalli received his B.S. from Sharif University of Technology\, Tehran\, Iran\, and the Ph.D. from Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL)\, Lausanne\, Switzerland. He was part of the initiating team and a Senior Analog Architect with Kandou Bus\, Lausanne\, Switzerland\, where he is currently the lead of the R&D Department. Since December 2017\, he has joined as an Assistant Professor to the University of Utah\, Salt Lake City\, USA. He has published more than 90 articles in peer reviewed journals and conferences and holds 40 patents. He has received several awards\, including The Best Paper Award in DesignCon (2016)\, PhD Prime Award at EPFL\, Switzerland (2010)\, and IEEE AMD/CICC Scholarship (2009). He is currently serving as a Technical Program Committee (TPC) Member in IEEE CICC and ESSCIRC\, and an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems.

SUMMARY:Backhaul Solutions for 6G Using Hybrid FSO/THz Communication Systems
DESCRIPTION:The IEEE Toronto Chapter is delighted to host Dr. Behrooz Makki\, a Senior Researcher with Ericsson Research\, Gothenburg\, Sweden. In his work\, Dr. Behroooz studies the potentials and the challenges of hybrid free-space optics (FSO)/ terahertz (THz) based communications as a potential tool for high-rate reliable backhauling in 6G. He studies the effect of different data transmission models and parameters such as atmospheric turbulence and pointing error impairments on the performance of FSO/THz systems\, and compares the results with those obtained in the cases with only the FSO or the THz links. The presented results indicate that\, with a proper switching method\, the joint implementation of the FSO/THz links improves the rate/reliability of the backhaul links with limited switching overhead.\nSpeaker(s): Behrooz Makki\,\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/316378

SUMMARY:DEVELOPMENT OF AN 8X8 AUTONOMOUS SCALED ELECTRIC COMBAT VEHICLE
DESCRIPTION:Join the IEEE Toronto Instrumentation & Measurement – Robotics & Automation Joint Chapter for a talk on Autonomous Electric Combat Vehicles\, presented by Prof. Zeinab El-Sayegh. \nAbstract: Current literature pertaining to multi-steerable mobile platforms and the progression of military vehicles in the past few decades suggest a lack of effort in pursuing advanced technologies in this joint area. As a result\, a novel 1:6 scaled 8×8 electric combat vehicle prototype that features eight independently driven and steerable wheels is designed and developed. The intent is to create a scaled model for future autonomous vehicle navigation and control research in off road terrains. Starting with the mechanical design\, this talk will discuss the details of the chassis\, suspension\, driving and steering systems development. The electronics necessary for vehicle actuation is implemented with custom nodes and topics created for hardware communication within the Robot Operating System (ROS). Lastly\, path planning and obstacle avoidance abilities are implemented to achieve autonomous navigation. The result of this work is a fully functional and instrumented robotic platform with a modular software architecture. Vehicle design analysis\, performance and autonomous navigation abilities are experimentally tested with promising results. \nThis talk will also cover the future of autonomous electric combat vehicles. \nSpeaker(s): Zeinab El-Sayegh\, PhD\, PEng \nRegister: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/316156 \nBiography: Dr. Zeinab El-Sayegh is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Automotive and Mechatronics Engineering. She completed her postdoctoral fellowship and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at Ontario Tech University. She received her master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Concordia\, Montreal. Formally\, worked at Volvo Group Trucks Technology Gothenburg\, Sweden as a vehicle analyst. And\, as a combustion analyst in Siemens aero-derivative gas turbines\, Montreal. Her research interests are related to on-road and off-road vehicle design\, and autonomous and hybrid electric vehicle simulation. She is involved in research related to tire-terrain interaction in cooperation with Volvo Group Truck Technology and NSERC.
