Machine learning tools for rapid pricing of exotic equity products

Exotic derivatives of various kinds contribute significantly to the risk exposure that must be managed by banks. In order to be competitive, banks need to assess their risk exposure frequently, and make necessary adjustments to their positions. Assessing risk exposure involves computing valuations of all the assets in their investment portfolio, along with their sensitivities. When closed-form formulae are available, this can be done rapidly. However, no such formulae are available for exotic products, therefore various computationally demanding numerical methods must be used.
The goal of this project is to develop a machine learning (neural network) model that can replicate the valuations produced by BMO’s existing computational methodologies, given any feasible set of input parameters. Once trained, such a network will be able to generate its output rapidly. The challenge is in the training, since the space of input parameters is extremely high dimensional.

Novel anti-Helicobacter pylori agents from lactic acid bacteria

Helicobacter pylori (HP) colonizes chronically ~50% of the world’s population, causing gastric tissue inflammation and gastric ulcers or cancers. Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) have probiotic effects against HP, meaning that they help alleviate symptoms. We found that 5 LAB provided by partner Lallemand Health Solutions (LHS) produce and release molecules that inhibit the growth of HP and abrogate features essential for gastric colonization by HP. The LAB secretions also decrease HP’s ability to cause inflammation in human gastric cells. We aim at characterizing the active molecules to develop them into therapeutic agents and validate the applicability of LAB as probiotics with anti-HP effects. We also aim at understanding the mechanisms of action involved by assessing which HP genes are affected by the interaction. This work will eventually benefit ~6 million new gastric ulcers or cancers patients per year worldwide and will alleviate the economic burden of health care costs associated with these diseases.

The Communicative Challenges and Implications of Quantum Computing Renewal

The industry partner1QBit has access to a processor that uses an adiabatic annealing technique to address a special class of optimization problems for initial application in finance. Optimization problems have a long and broad relevance to challenges faced in the financial sector. The prospect of quantum annealing as a way to innovate in solving finance optimization problems has been an area of growing interest, though limited in practice due to the lack of suitable analog hardware. 1QBit is bringing together a group of researchers from physics, mathematics, computer science, engineering and finance to investigate the prospect of quantum annealing in financial applications.
In this internship project, I will apply my research aims to trace the development of the diverse network that is being built to facilitate quantum computing, understand the communication challenges faced in interdisciplinary public-private technological production, and consider the implications posed by a quantum model of computing to theories of information and the material nature of communication.

Equity Audit of Canada’s International Co-Productions over the past 10 years

The objective for this research project is to support the future international success of the Canadian
racialized creatives in the screen industry. There is a lack of available research on content production
specifically targeting global audiences, and therefore there are significant gaps for development,
promotion and distribution of Canadian screen content that could be filled by the unique creative
storytelling of racialized content creatives in Canada. Through research of consumer preferences and
market intelligence RESO is setting out to elevate and develop targeted efforts for racialized Canadian
screen content producers, sales agents and distributors to boost global audiences’ engagement with
Canadian film, television and streaming content.
This research is essential to empower, inform, and grow the networks for racialized content creators.

Mémoire de recherche “Les verts au parlement”

En effet, cette recherche se veut une tentative d’analyse poussée des instruments politiques utilisés par le PVE pour faire avancer l’agenda politique et écologique européen. Qu’il s’agisse de la gestion de problèmes politiques, sociaux ou économiques, le but de ce mémoire est donc de rassembler toutes les données et informations connues afin d’obtenir une vision globale du parcours politique du PVE ainsi que des instruments qui lui ont permis de se positionner parmis les partis influents de l’Union Européenne. En posant ce type de question de recherche, je cherche à mieux comprendre l’agenda politique européen et les enjeux qui l’occupent afin de comprendre comment les partis écologistes et le PVE notamment, parviennent à mettre leurs préoccupations environnementales à l’ordre du jour ainsi qu’à s’assurer que celles-ci soient incluses dans les débats quotidiens au sein du parlement européen. Enfin, cette recherche permettra d’approfondir des concepts clés comme les rapports de force entre partis européens, les stratégies parlementaires ainsi que le rôle et l’importance d’un parti comme le PVE au sein d’une telle institution politique (UE).

Analyzing the Complex Interplay between Absenteeism Predictors: A Cumulative and Multiple Individual Risk Model

Through a well-established partnership with Ottawa’s Children’s Coordinated Access and Referral to Services in Ottawa, this internship project will examine factors affecting school attendance problems of youth at risk of serious consequences (i.e., unsuccessful educational completion, behavioral problems, and unmet mental health needs, etc.), with the goal of better understanding the complexity of these factors to improve the youth’s educational achievement, high school completion, and post-secondary opportunities. Partaking in this project will contribute to Coordinated Access’ development of interventions aim at reducing school absenteeism and efforts to support students with behavioral and mental health difficulties. Through our collaboration, awareness will be raised among educators, policymakers, and the wider community about the consequences of school absenteeism.

Spandrel Interactive Web Portals

Spandrel Interactive seeks to build scalable web portals to aid in user onboarding for their VR/XR solutions. The proposed solution will allow clients to change device and scenario settings, manage user profiles and organize projects outside of the VR/XR software. The goal is to create a positive user experience and ease the pains of user onboarding without an on-site technician.

Business Strategy Internship

Accounting system migration and optimization

Solaris is a growing business which supplies and installs outdoor livings solutions to builders and homeowners. In the transition from a small to midsize business many of our systems need to be evaluated and updated. This project will assist Solaris in addressing challenges we will face as a growing organization. During this project the intern will help upgrade server hardware, migrate accounting data, reconcile discrepancies between accounting software and CRM software, and participate in budgeting.
Solaris prides itself on the culture of learning that permeates the whole organization. This project provides an excellent opportunity to expand on that culture of learning while enchancing the capacity of the organization to complete the strategic objectives laid out in this proposal. Working closely with management will provide an excellent learning experience for the intern.

Understanding the Indigenous School Attendance Gap: Perspectives from an Educational Program Supporting Inuit Youth

In Canada, First Nation, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) students experience higher rates of absenteeism and lower rates of school success compared to non-FNMI students. However, little research has explored this issue from the perspective of FNMI communities. This study aims to conceptualize attendance and absenteeism among a group of urban Inuit students in Ottawa who attend a culturally responsive alternative learning program. In partnership with the program’s organization, we will be investigating the students and their parents understanding of attendance through sharing circle focus groups. General themes will be generated based on the conversations and experiences participants share. These findings will contribute to a greater understanding of the experience of school attendance among urban Inuit youth and can help guide strategies to engage and improve Inuit youths’ experiences at school.
