Infant Blink Detection
Distributed machine learning is becoming a popular model-training method due to privacy, computational scalability, and bandwidth capacities. In this work, we explore scalable distributed-training versions of two algorithms commonly used in object detection. A novel distributed training algorithm using Mean Weight Matrix Aggregation (MWMA) is proposed for Linear Support Vector…

City Scrapper
The project aims to use widely available user satisfaction data to construct a decision making tool for municipalities. Managing cities is a complex task for municipalities. Both creating policies and evaluating them requires careful planning and significant resources. However, citizen already provide publicly that information on a variety of user…
Firefighter forecasting
Recent increase in wild fires in France, and around the world, are an unfortunate example of the current challenges firefighters face nowadays. Data science can provide a solution for such challenges. Through various visualizations, we can empower our public services to react faster and more efficiently to extreme situations. The…
Solar energy prediction
In efforts to transition away from the use of fossil fuels and their associated environmental prob- lems, a number of strategies have been deployed worldwide in recent decades. Use of renewable energy sources is one such strategy, an effort in which systems that use solar power to gener- ate electricity…
Palsy diagnosis
Peripheral palsy and central palsy are two forms of facial paralysis. Both conditions have similar characteristics, but they can have very different acuteness. Bell’s Palsy is one form of peripheral nerve disease, from which patients often heal and which is not likely to be fatal . A central facial palsy,…
AI message parsing
Since the industrial revolution European nations had created or were forced to share resources and infrastructures that transcended national boundaries. This resulted in the creation of common rules for maintenance and use to counter risks and challenges . This fact also comes with international dependence and difficulties regarding infrastructures. One…
