Canadian AI Conference - Mohamed Khattab!
Congratulations to Mohamed Khattab, Master's student at CILS lab, for presenting an extended abstract, "Pure Leveled CKKS for CNN Inference" at the 39th Canadian AI Conference in Vancouver on May 28th. He formalized where leveled CKKS fails on deep residual networks without bootstrapping, and derived the exact exhaustion bound.

CILS Students Showcase Honours Thesis and Project Research

Here is the work completed by three CILS students this term:
-- Saif Miskin, co-suervised with Dr. Melanie Coombs from Biology, worked on “AI-based tool for real time peptide cytotoxicity prediction on Breast Cancer cells”
-- Brendan Toscano, worked on “Machine Learning Evaluation of Generative AI Debugging Feedback Plausibility for Introductory Python Programming”
-- Mohammod Ehsanul Haque,worked on “A SMOTE-based approach for minority attack detection in intrusion detection systems”
A strong set of projects spanning AI in healthcare, software engineering, and cybersecurity. Thanks to all students for their effort and presentations. We wish you all the best in what comes next :)
