On Friday, September 28 we will launch the new Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute.
The Institute brings together under one umbrella Waterloo’s 40 security researchers from across the University. These renowned experts are collaborating to uncover new approaches to security and privacy while also partnering with corporations and government to advance the application and implementation of cybersecurity and privacy technologies.

Smart water meters have been installed across Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada, to measure the water consumption of households in the area. Using this water consumption data, we develop machine learning and deep learning models to predict daily water consumption for existing multi-family residences. We also present a new methodology for predicting the water consumption of new housing developments.

Let x and y be words. We consider the languages whose words z are those for which the numbers of occurrences of x and y, as subwords of z, are the same (resp., the number of x's is less than the number of y's, resp., is less than or equal). In this talk we will give a necessary and sufficient condition on x and y for these languages to be regular, and we show how to check this condition efficiently.
