Boosting Interpretability and Reducing Resource Demands of Machine Learning Models using Tensor Networks

The rapid recent rise in the use of machine learning (ML) tools in business and everyday life has introduced both opportunities and new challenges. While powerful, large-scale ML models come with massive energy demands, as well as output that is hard to predict or interpret. This project will focus on the application of tensor networks (TNs), a rich family of models and methods originating in quantum physics and applied mathematics, to alleviate these issues within state-of-the-art ML models.

Stage en recyclage du verre

Ce projet se concentre sur la valorisation et le recyclage du verre. Suite à une prise de conscience généralisée de l’impact environnemental des procédés actuels de refonte du verre, l’exploration de nouvelles sources d’énergies vertes (telles que les torches plasma) pour substituer l’utilisation de combustibles fossiles devient un enjeu de première importance. Actuellement, les emballages de verre préalablement triés subissent un processus de broyage produisant du calcin qui est par la suite fondu dans des fours de fort tonnage. Ce verre fondu est ensuite soufflé afin de produire de nouvelles bouteilles, présentant des propriétés mécaniques et optiques similaires à celles obtenues à partir de l’utilisation de matières premières vierges. Les fours actuels de refonte du verre utilisent des combustibles fossiles ce qui contribue de manière significative aux émissions de gaz à effet de serre liées à ce type d’emballage. Le projet vise donc à explorer de nouvelles technologies électrifiées substituant l’utilisation conventionnelles des combustibles fossiles. Cette recherche comprend l’identification des réductions potentielles des émissions de gaz à effet de serre et l’évaluation des coûts d’installation de ces technologies innovantes.

Using Carbon Control and Micronized Sulfur Technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fertilizer applications and to enhance soil nutrient availability

Sulvaris is a pioneer in developing carbon control technology (CCT) and micronized sulphur technology (MST). Fertilizers developed using those technologies provide carbon, nitrogen and sulfur, increasing crop yields and soil fertility. Further studies are needed to optimize formulations for the CCT and MST products, especially their efficacy in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The main objective of this study is to assess the performance of new CCT and MST products in soil carbon and nitrogen mineralization and GHG emissions (CO2 and N2O) as compared to the application of ammonium sulfate and urea. The laboratory incubation experiments will involve the systematic collection and analysis of gas and soil samples at regular intervals. These analyses aim to provide crucial insights into the effectiveness of the products in mitigating GHG emissions and enhancing soil fertility.

Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy (CAPL)

Today’s Canadian children and youth are bigger, weaker and less fit than they were a generation ago. Only 5% of children and youth meet the recommended Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines while spending 8.6 hours per day in sedentary pursuits. These results suggest that Canadian children today do not have the capacity to achieve and maintain a physically active lifestyle associated with optimal health. Physical literacy is the foundation for the healthy development of the whole person. It helps to create a lifelong relationship with physical activity and healthy lifestyles, and it supports individual performance to the best of one’s ability. Interns involved in this project will administer physical literacy assessments on approximately 8,000 kids in 3 provinces across Canada. This will help researchers to understand in more detail the current levels of physical literacy of children in Canada and raise awareness to areas where children 8 to 12 years of age are struggling with achieving levels of physical literacy that are associated with health benefits.

LLMs for Research

Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT have proven to be extremely effective at generating useful responses to a wide variety of user’s questions. However, they often struggle to generate meaningful and accurate responses to questions that are highly specialized, context-dependent, and requiring long-term attention. The goal of this project is to apply LLMs to accelerate technical research and development, particularly in the field of quantum computing, to enhance research productivity and address the limitations of current state-of-the-art models. It will leverage techniques shown to be useful in the academic literature, but applied in the novel setting of highly technical and detailed texts where models frequently struggle, namely quantum computing research. Successful delivery will yield a useful service for researchers at Zapata, as well as a comprehensive application Zapata can demo with prospective clients who are looking to use LLMs for accelerating their R&D cycle.

Modifying a lead compound to optimize prevention of adhesion formation

If you have an operation in your abdominal cavity (eg., C-section, hernia repair, appendectomy, gall bladder removal and many more procedures) your chances of having to go back to hospital and be re-operated due to intestinal occlusion, pain etc is 4%. Because these operations make up 5 of the 10 most common surgeries, this 4% adds up to hundreds of thousands of patients that need to be re-operated. The reason why is because they have had adhesions form (large rope like structures of cartilage) that cause many complications. There is no good way of preventing these adhesions from forming. Moreover, in some women if this happens it cause unnoticed and yet there is a good chance they will develop infertility. This is devastating and there is no way to predict who will develop adhesions and there is no treatment available. The Kubes lab can use a special microscope and look into the abdominal cavity and see adhesions form and uncovered how this happens. They formed a company and found a drug that can prevent this from happening and are now testing numerous related drugs to find the best one.
