Exploring Machine Learning Approaches to Precipitation Prediction: Post Processing of Daily Accumulated North American forecasts
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-11-22)
This thesis presents recent work on exploring machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models to improve the accuracy of 24 hour precipitation forecasts. Leveraging a comprehensive North American dataset of precipitation ...
Endangered Oarisma poweshiek butterfly larval foraging and adult habitat interactions in Manitoba, Canada
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-10-29)
The Poweshiek skipperling (Oarisma poweshiek) is endemic to the tall grass prairie in North America, and is now critically endangered globally. Existing populations are scattered amongst tall grass prairie remnants. However, ...
Post mating isolating barriers between Drosophila species and the role of seminal fluid gene expression
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-12-07)
Reproductive genes are known to be among the fastest evolving category of genes within the genome, and males’ reproductive genes show a high divergence between species. A class of genes expressed in the male’s reproductive ...
Chief Paskwa’s Pictograph: Revisiting Treaty Four Through an Anishinaabe Philosophy
(University 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, ...
Exploring Deep Neural Networks for Plant Image Classification
(University 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 ...
Rare words in text summarization
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-01-16)
Automatic text summarization is a difficult task, which involves a good understanding of an input text to produce fluent, brief and vast summary. The usage of text summarization models can vary from legal document summarization ...
Evaluating the Residual Benefits of Soil Amendments in Reducing Phosphorus Losses to Snowmelt Runoff from Agricultural Fields
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-11-10)
Phosphorus (P) in snowmelt runoff from agricultural fields across the Canadian prairies is a major source of nutrient pollution to freshwater bodies, such as Lake Winnipeg. The use of soil amendments, such as alum ...
Improving LULC Map Production via Semantic Segmentation and Unsupervised Domain Adaptation
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-04-13)
In recent years, a lot of remote sensing problems benefited from the improvements made in deep learning. In particular, deep learning semantic segmentation algorithms have provided improved frameworks for the automated ...
Analysis of Impact of Alcohol on Brain's Activity
(University 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 ...
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 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 ...
