Field Plant Identification Through Indoor Imagery Using Image Augmentation and Object Detection Algorithms
(University of Winnipeg, 2022-11-04)
A growing global population and recent changes in climate make it increasingly necessary to incorporate recent advances in machine learning and robotics into agricultural practices. Plant detection is the problem of ...
Legacies of afforestation on prairie plant, seed bank, and nematode communities in a northern rough fescue prairie
(University of Winnipeg, 2018-08-31)
Afforestation resulting from fire suppression, modified grazing, plantation establishment and climate change poses a threat to northern prairie ecosystems. Trees alter the composition and function of plant and soil communities ...

This thesis is a study of Manitoba’s social welfare system in the 1960s based on findings in the provincial and City of Winnipeg’s annual reports. In order to understand the position of welfare administrators during this ...
Evolutionary history and diversity of human-specific FAM72A paralogs
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-12-14)
Gene duplication is a key driver of genetic diversity and adaptation, allowing genomes to develop complexity and redundant sequences that evolve along different trajectories. In human evolution, gene duplication played an ...
N-Dimensional Polynomial Neural Networks and their Applications
(University 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 ...
