Exploring Deep Neural Networks for Plant Image Classification
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2022-04)Automatically distinguishing different types of plant images is a challenging problem relevant to both Botany and Computer Science disciplines. Plant identification at the species level is a computer vision task called ... -
Unheard Voices: Healing Stories of Reclamation and Rebuilding for Families of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people who have not been involved in the National Inquiry
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2021)This work uncovers the stories of relatives who have been impacted by the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people (MMIWG2S) in Canada, who have not been involved in the National Inquiry ... -
Chief Paskwa’s Pictograph: Revisiting Treaty Four Through an Anishinaabe Philosophy
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2020-02-23)This research provides an understanding of Treaty Four 1874 through an Anishinaabe philosophy using Anishinaabe (Ojibway) research methods. Prior research conducted has been done by primarily non-Anishinaabeg, therefore, ... -
N-Dimensional Polynomial Neural Networks and their Applications
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2022-04-06)In addition to being extremely non-linear, modern machine learning problems require millions if not billions of parameters to solve or at least to get a good approximation of the solution, and neural networks are known ... -
Unsupervised Domain Adaptation using Satellite Images for Significantly Different Infrastructure Objects
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2022-03-28)Deep learning has become one of the most efficient computer vision tools in recent years. The success and variety of deep learning semantic segmentation models inspired scientists in the remote sensing domain to apply them ... -
Transformational Leadership Approaches and Their Influence on Teacher Resilience During the COVID-19 Pandemic
(North American Business Press, 2022)With stress documented beyond inherent levels in our initial research with Canadian teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic, this case study moves beyond the consideration of individual strategies to reduce burnout, toward ... -
Surveys and Other Methods in Action Research
(2022-02-02)This session presented by Dr. Jerry Buckland focused on providing insight into how to conduct action-oriented research (ARM) and surveys. It looked at how ARM is an approach to research that seeks to inform effective action. ... -

Using Machine Learning to Improve Neutron Tagging Efficiency in Water Cherenkov Detectors
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2021-11-25)When an anti-neutrino collides with a proton in the atomic nucleus, it yields an anti-lepton and a free neutron. In a water Cherenkov neutrino detector like Super-K or the next generation Hyper-K, the free neutron is ... -
Automated Deep Neural Network Approach for Detection of Epileptic Seizures
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2021-12-09)In this thesis, I focus on exploiting electroencephalography (EEG) signals for early seizure diagnosis in patients. This process is based on a powerful deep learning algorithm for times series data called Long Short-Term ... -
Analysis of Impact of Alcohol on Brain's Activity
(University of WinnipegUniversity of Winnipeg, 2021-11-30)Electroencephalography is an electrophysiological monitoring process to capture electrical activity on the scalp that has been shown to represent the macroscopic activity of the surface layer of the brain underneath. It ... -
