Financial Portfolio Reconciliation using Deconstructed Deep Learning

Citco provides financial products and services to hedge funds, private equity and real estate firms, investors, institutional banks, Global 1000 companies, and high net worth individuals in the Netherlands and internationally. The previous research was focused on optimizing operations by automating trade resolution and reducing risk using machine learning. Given its success in matching individual transactions, the proposed project plans to extend the research to overall portfolio management for identifying discrepancies in the portfolio at the end of the trading day. Outlier detection algorithms will be proposed to improve the accuracy of existing mismatch detection procedures. Unsupervised and supervised machine learning will be used to further improve this capability. The research will also look at improving data visualization and user interface for efficient monitoring of trade mismatch. Further, we will explore use of text mining for automated resolution of trades based on e-mails exchanged between those involved in a trade. The endeavor will significantly improve the data analytics capabilities of Citco and will potentially result in an increased operational footprint in Atlantic Canada.

Les initiatives municipales sur l’aménagement urbain et la voirie lors la pandémie de covid19 : quels enseignements sont à retenir pour le développement de la mobilité active par des mesures d’aménagement dans les villes?

Durant la pandémie de covid-19, plusieurs villes, dont Montréal, ont mis en place des interventions sur l’aménagement urbain, l’organisation du transport local et la gestion des espaces. Ces mesures visaient la distanciation physique dans les espaces urbains tout en assurant le maintien des activités commerciales des établissements ayant pignon sur rue. Ces actions n’ont pas eu les mêmes impacts ou entrainé une acceptabilité sociale similaire. Plusieurs de ces mesures favorisent les déplacements actifs sécuritaires, mobilité qui fait consensus dans la planification urbaine durable des villes. Il est essentiel d’estimer les actions qui pourront être maintenues, dans quel contexte urbain et pour quelles raisons. Le.la stagiaire fera le portrait des actions en aménagement urbain mises en place durant la pandémie dans les principales villes occidentales. Ces actions publiques seront comparées avec les stratégies développées pour la Ville de Montréal. Un séminaire auprès d’experts sera organisé pour procéder à la validation de ces analyses. La recension des écrits, les études de projets d’aménagement réalisés à Montréal et le séminaire avec les experts permettront de constituer un recueil de mesures d’aménagement et de dispositifs prometteurs, efficaces et détenant un potentiel de transférabilité aux autres villes.

Développement d’un algorithme de reconnaissance d’images de papillons tropicaux

Le nombre d’espèces qui nous entourent est si important qu’il peut être ardu, même pour les spécialistes, de toutes les identifier. Cela est particulièrement vrai pour les insectes. De plus, avec l’avènement des technologies mobiles de l’information, la quantité et la qualité des images disponibles n’a jamais été aussi importante. Grâce aux appareils photos numérique et aux téléphones intelligents, virtuellement n’importe qui peut générer des données d’observations qui peuvent être utilisées pour le suivi de la biodiversité. L’intelligence artificielle s’impose comme une solution pour traiter toutes ces informations et faciliter l’identification des espèces sur les photos, pour les experts comme pour le public en général. Ce projet vise à développer un outil permettant d’identifier automatiquement des papillons à partir d’images de spécimens vivant prises avec une application mobile dans un musée. Grâce à cet outil, les visiteurs seront en mesure de trouver plus facilement de l’information sur les papillons qu’ils observent tout en réalisant qu’ils peuvent eux-mêmes contribuer à document la biodiversité après leur visite au musée.

Automating Subsea Asset Inspection for Corrosion/Pit Detection by Machine Learning

Any offshore operation involves the utilization and maintenance of a number of subsea assets, and corrosion inspection is one of the important components. Visual inspection plays a crucial step towards corrosion inspection of subsea asset(s). This visual inspection involves analysis of images of the subsea asset revealing the surface condition of the asset(s), which includes corrosion, pits and cracks. Such image analysis helps to understand the condition of asset(s) and strategize further integrity management practices. However, analyzing these images still remains a labour-intensive and time-consuming task, which is so far manually performed in the industry. In addition, possibility for human errors is another important drawback in the manual image analysis method. Therefore, automating these image analyses by machine learning application will not only make the process faster, but automation will also increase the accuracy. Our company is currently working on developing this automated inspection software application, which will ultimately become a flagship product of the company. This will enhance the revenue growth of the company and will help relieve the financial impact of the COVID pandemic.

Asper School of Business – Mitacs BSI – Carbon Block

The day to day will be conducting research into (1) What the existing carbon offset methodologies are and how they are composed,( 2) how solar specifically reduces coal/natural gas, (3) How to prove solar production by location, (4) how to calculate grid CO2 intensity from different grid inputs, i.e. 50% coal, 25% natural gas, 20% wind, 5% solar. The latter half of their time with Carbon Block will be to assemble/summarize their research into a report that details how the carbon offset calculations are made. We will use this report to quantify the carbon offsets our technology is creating. As technical lead, the student will report to the co-founder, Alex Stuart and he will be able to give specific instructions as necessary, however the student will need to be self-motivated. The student will not be presenting or speaking with customers, so verbal command of English is not critical.

Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of sludges/biosolids for the production of bio-crude oils – Development of low-footprint energy-selfsufficient new sludge treatment processes based on HTL

Conventional wastewater treatment process includes primary treatment (clarifier), secondary treatment (aeration tanks) and anaerobic digestion (AD) of primary sludge (PS) and waste activated sludge (WAS), followed by disposal of the bio-solids from of the AD process. It is estimated that the sludge treatmenUdisposal processes account for approximately 40% of the costs for a wastewater treatment plant. Currently three main approaches are: land application, landfill disposal, and incineration/thermal technologies. These approaches are facing great challenges due to various concerns related to the secondary emissions, limited land availability and costs. Compared with the conventional sludge disposal approaches, hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) technology using hot-pressed water converts sludges/bio-solids into valuable products such as bio-oil, bio-char and aqueous product (AP). The HTL technology is particularly promising for processing high-water-content biomass resources such as sludge and bio-solids as it eliminates the need of costly de watering/drying process that is otherwise required in other thermal/thermo-chemical processes.

THz Characterization of Size and Shape Selected InN Nanoparticles and Their Alloys

The main objective of this project is to integrate technological advances emerging from two major scientific fields, synthesis of nanomaterials and THz characterization to correlate material properties with single photon emission. The focus of this project is to design, and synthesize nanomaterials based on group-III nitrides and oxynitrides and study their material properties using THz radiation for single photon emission. Using THz scanning near field optical microscopy (SNOM) available at the Photon Science Institute (PSI), University of Manchester, UK, we propose to simultaneously map the topography and local dielectric function with <30nm spatial resolution, generating 2D images of individual InN nanoparticles as well as their clustered assemblies. This will provide unique insight into their make-up at the nanoscale and uncover any nanoscale inhomogeneities (e.g., due to defects) in optoelectronic properties of the nanoparticles. Further, electron mobility, carrier concentration, and scattering rates will be extracted for nanoparticle ensembles using far-field THz time-domain spectroscopy. Similar THz measurements conducted in the near-field in conjunction with nano-tomography on core-shell nanoparticles will yield information about shell thickness and its effects on the optoelectronic properties at nanoscale lengths.
