|1 ||Mercurics||Increase Access of Information on Employee Rights in Singapore ||
 +
 +
Problem:
 +
Singaporeans are generally not very savvy when it comes to their employment rights; this issue is exacerbated in times of Covid 19 - whereby higher retrenchment rates have led to higher job demands than supply. Both Singaporean employers and employees may not be aware of the legal rights and benefits when it comes down to employment contracts.
 +
 +
Objective:
 +
There exists current methods for obtaining such employment rights information, such as through social media (reddit1, reddit2) and government portals (e.g., WSG). However, the consolidation of these information can often be manual and time-consuming, and is not sustainable in the long run.
 +
 +
Thus, the key objective of this project is to provide an easy and convenient way for job seekers, employees, students entering the job market, as well as employers themselves, to access information on employment rights/norms in Singapore. One possible way that this can be done is to design and implement a way to automatically consolidate employee rights information and FAQs into a single knowledge base.
 +
 +
Deliverables:
 +
#Automatic creation and population of the knowledge base for storing employee rights information
 +
#Creating access to the knowledge base through:
 +
*Platform with semantic search which can access any employment rights query
 +
*Chatbot to access the knowledge base; this will help narrow down what the user is looking for, and can be tagged to either the FB messenger API or Telegram API
 +
*Ensuring intuitive UI/UX for users access to info
 +
#Provide recommendations and potential advice based on search queries
 +
#Consolidate search data and user feedback -> this will be used to tweak the displayed information
 +
#Data analysis and visualisation of employment issues in SG based on search frequencies - this data can be used to provide information to govt bodies such as MOM so they can make changes accordingly

|2 ||SLA||Optimization of 3D Model Visualization on OneMap3D ||
 +
OneMap3D is developed based on the following open source project CesiumJS and 3DCityDB. The available data source for building model is available in CityGML. Those building models are converted into glTF and 3DTiles format for display on web browser.
 +
 +
Rendering large amount of 3D models on web browser require significant amount of RAM and other resource on user device. This results in crashes on some user device. Others may experience slowness.
 +
 +
The objective of this project is to find a way to optimize the 3D models in order to avoid or minimize crashes and slowness on low end user devices.
 +
 +
The optimization can be done via FME, open source or customized solutions. To seek approval in advance if any paid solutions are to be used e.g. CesiumION, Esri, etc
 +
 +
Deliverables:
 +
#Optimization method or workflow
