Multimodal Representation Learning from raw data to detect customers emotional state in the financial industry with Attention Mechanism

Currently, call centres effort in this matter is largely reactive. Someone calls in, they are upset, and agents respond accordingly. However, this approach is not always most effective, especially with difficult customers. Therefore, knowing the customers current emotional state is very important for appropriate problem solving. Affective computing can be used to detect and evaluate the client emotion rapidly, for example if the customer is angry or frustrated the algorithm will find out that emotional state and alert the agent to be more patient, understandable, and most importantly know how to deal with the client.

Prototype d’une bourse du carbone citoyenne

Nous proposons un système de bourse du carbone qui offre l’opportunité aux citoyens de participer à la lutte aux changements climatiques. Dans ce système, tous les humains ont le droit d’émettre une certaine quantité de carbone chaque année. Ce quota d’émission diminue graduellement d’année en année, de façon à respecter l’Accord de Paris. Un citoyen responsable qui choisit de participer à cette bourse du carbone se voit attribuer sa part d’émissions de carbone, qui correspond aux émissions de son pays par habitant. Si vous décidez de participer à cette bourse du carbone, et que vos émissions dépassent votre quota, vous pouvez acheter des crédits carbone (quotas non utilisés) à d’autres personnes qui habitent dans des pays qui émettent moins de carbone par habitant. Notre projet d’innovation consiste à concevoir une application web simple et agréable d’utilisation qui servira de prototype pour cette bourse du carbone citoyenne.

Integration of Low Impact Development stormwater practices into the development of smart community

Development of stormwater management plans in Ontario has focused primarily on sizing of conveyance infrastructure and stormwater management ponds that mitigate the receiving water impacts of new developments. The focus has shifted in recent years towards the implementation of Low Impact Development (LID) that emphasizes the control of stormwater runoff at the source. Although several methods and tools have been developed to aid in planning and design of LID practices, there is a need for better integration of these tools into development and assessment of alternative site layouts to meet regulatory requirements for the protection of receiving waters. This research will focus on providing a closer linkage between the conceptual site design and stormwater performance assessment by linking site design tools with USEPA Stormwater Management Model (SWMM). The developed methodology will be tested on the Smart Community project, allowing a quick effectiveness assessment of a variety of LID practices into alternative site designs covering both their hydrologic performance and cost.

Comparison of algorithms for predicting drug-target interactions and performance benefits of ensemble learning

The goal of this project is to compare the results of several state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) models in the field of drug discovery. Specifically, the intern will recreate several models whose creators claimed are successful at predicting which drugs would interact with what proteins in the human body. In addition, the intern will design a model of their own based on existing successful models and their own ideas. Lastly the output of these various models will be combined to give a single, accurate prediction regarding which pairs of drugs and proteins will interact. This project will help reproduce and validate the results of these models, provide a novel solution to the problem they are designed to solve, and help evaluate the benefits of combining the results of various models in this fashion. In addition, this work will form a valuable addition to Modelis’ computation drug discovery pipeline.

Developing a novel Rammed Earth technology for climate-adapting construction

The Rammed Earth (RE) has become the newest trend in construction owing to its energy-efficient, eco-friendly, and sustainable approach. The recent research has modernized rammed earth construction by using cement treatment to improve its strength and durability. The non-compensable damages to the environment associated with cement production and application pose significant arguments against its widespread use in rammed earth construction. Our partner organization, Innovative Earth Inc. uses traditional rammed earth walls in construction and they are excited with an opportunity to design next generation rammed earth materials. Our new RE technology is anticipated to outperform the conventional ones in thermomechanical and durability properties, and at the same time act as a reservoir for long-term carbon sequestration.

Development of recyclable metal-infused feedstock for low-cost 3D printing in the context of circular manufacturing

As the circular economy and circular manufacturing approaches are strongly focusing on reuse, repair, remanufacturing and recycling, it is very important to investigate new materials for fabrication of metal/polymer filaments for low-cost 3D printing. In this project recyclable metal-infused feedstocks with high concentration of metal powder (up to 60 vol.%) for filament fabrication will be developed. For this environmentally friendly extracted carbonyl nickel and iron powders will be used. Metal/polymer filament fabrication will be done by simple melting process using one screw extruder. Prior the extrusion two pre-mix approaches will be used for better particle dispersion inside the polymer matrix. The recyclable polymers in powder form and bio-based polymers will be tested as potential matrixes for metal/polymer filament fabrication. Recyclable polymers in powder form are good chose due to simple pre-mis procedure which include just physical mixing of polymer powder with metal powder without using any intermediate steps with uses/extraction of solvent.

Développement d’une dalle de toit-terrasse polymérique à albédo élevé, avec fort contenu en matières recyclés

Dans une perspective de développement durable et d’adéquation avec les principes de l’économie circulaire, il est souhaitable de favoriser l’utilisation de matières recyclées et/ou naturelles en remplacement de matières premières de source synthétiques dans les matériaux polymères.
De plus, la tendance actuelle de l’industrie des matériaux est d’obtenir des matériaux qui permettent de remplir plusieurs fonctions. Dans le cadre de ce projet, il est prévu de se concentrer sur le développement d’une dalle à base de polymère avec fort contenu de matières naturelles/recyclées et albédo élevé (propriété de réflexion de la lumière). Cette dalle sera utilisée dans les projets de toiture-terrasse pour les bâtiments afin de réduire la contribution des toitures au phénomène d’îlot de chaleur.

Employing heterologous thioesterases and acyl transferases expression for the development of coconut-like canola seed-oil

Establishing canola seed oil with high medium chain saturated fatty acids for North American consumers remains demanding. Currently the entire oil that is rich with saturated fatty acids is imported from Asian and South American countries. Canola mostly harbors mono-unsaturated fatty acids with minimal polyunsaturated fatty acids. We are working towards making canola with maximum medium chain saturated fatty acids. We will introduce enzymes (thioesterases) from plants that are capable to produce high amount of medium chain fatty acids into the model plant (Arabidopsis) and canola. Our research involves three approaches to investigate for the best strategy to obtain optimal coconut-like seed oil in canola. In the first approach: we will be expressing these thioesterases in wild type Arabidopsis and canola, in the second approach: we will be expressing these thioesterases in Arabidopsis mutants that have minimal polyunsaturated fatty acids, and in the third approach, we will heterologously co-express, with these thioesterases, specific enzymes to ensure the supply of substrates for the synthesis, and the proper storage of the medium chain fatty acids in seeds.

Établir une méthodologie générale pour déterminer la stratégie optimale de gestion de l’énergie et le dimensionnement des composants d’un véhicule électrique à pile à combustible (FCEV).

Le projet consiste à écrire un programme d’ordinateur (code) afin de faire le calcul de l’énergie qu’un véhicule quelconque nécessite pour se déplacer une certaine distance. À partir des résultats obtenus, le programme calculera aussi la taille des composants du système énergétique à intégrer dans le véhicule. Ensuite on va développer une méthodologie pour gérer d’une façon optimale l’énergie que le véhicule utilise pour faire ses déplacements. À cette méthodologie on va l’appeler Stratégie de Gestion Énergétique ou SGÉ. Finalement, on va utiliser les livrables de ce projet dans un autre projet de l’entreprise Énergie ALTABEC Energy. Ce projet s’agit de faire la conversion complète d’un véhicule qui utilise des combustibles fossiles vers une propulsion électrique utilisant de l’hydrogène.

Improving early feed intake of newly hatched broiler chicks raised without antibiotics using light during incubation

Traditionally commercial poultry is incubated and hatched in the dark. There are indications that significant benefits could be realized from providing light to developing chicken embryos during incubation. These indications include chicks that eat and drink more upon arrival at the farm. This early feeding behavior should improve the health and survival of baby chicks and could be a valuable management practice especially now that the Canadian industry is transitioning away from the use of antibiotics to boost the health of chicks early in life. Understanding the impact of light on physiological changes that occur during embryo development will help the industry as they work to determine the optimum settings for providing light during incubation.
