Translating Uncertain Knowledge into a Solvable Mathematical Model for Process Optimisation 

ELIGIBILITY: This project is for a student taking the MSc in Statistics and Sustainability. The student must possess knowledge of numerical optimisation methods and linear programming techniques. This project aims to bridge the gap between human language and mathematical optimisation. By developing a method that translates natural language descriptions of process optimisation goals and constraints … Read more

[TAKEN] Develop a curl test setup for ECH

We contributed the code for the experimental Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) feature to the curl project. As curl is just a client, current ECH tests require use of an external ECH-enabled server, which is undesirable. The project’s goal is to make progress on devloping curl ECH tests, which likely requires development of a test server … Read more

[TAKEN] Modern delay-tolerant email

Email is inherently a delay-tolerant application. However, modern email deployments involve online checks used by anti-spam mechanisms, non-standard UA/MS interactions, MFA client authentication and hop-by-hop encryption all of which can be problematic in the face of high delays or disruptions, and perhaps especially at scale. The project here is to analyse how significant delay and … Read more

Sign Language Recognition [TAKEN]

Sign Language Recognition (SLR) is a field of Computational Linguistics that sits at the intersection of Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing – aiming to effectively extract salient linguistic features from visual data of sign language users. Recent SLR research has centred Machine Learning approaches, however, these methods typically rely on large-scale datasets which are … Read more

TAKEN: Personalisation of an Irish language AAC system

This project is intended to build on, and further develop an Irish-language AAC system that Rían Errity developed last year. The goal is to develop a facility that allows the individual user to design their own personal boards and adapt the system to their own context and requirements.

Identifying Employability Skills in LinkedIn Profiles (Taken)

This project will look at how to assess LinkedIn profiles to identify whether the owner of the profile exhibits a set of employability skills such as reliability, common sense, commitment, motivation, enthusiasm, ability to deal with pressure, etc. The project will require an analysis of the LinkedIn features which could potentially allow users to exhibit … Read more
