Les rapports de sites contaminés contiennent une multitude d’informations pertinentes pour les experts en environnement. Ces rapports décrivent les caractéristiques d’un site contaminé et les technologies utilisées pour réhabiliter ce site. L’extraction des informations pertinentes de ces rapports volumineux exige des ressources qualifiées importantes. Ces informations permettent notamment aux experts d’appliquer cette connaissance à de […]

Bell’s Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) team is collaborating with academic institutions in order to further research and develop cyber security analytics for the protection of critical infrastructure and data. The focus of this research is to create and leverage a traffic classification project specifically for network security purposes. This research to design distributed algorithms fast […]

This project proposes to explore and implement a method of storing and retrieving data relating to genetic variation across a population of individuals. Due to the large amount of genetic information each person possesses, such a database requires special attention to minimize the amount of data stored and to create efficient methods of accessing the […]

The primary goal of this project is to explore a variety of new and existing Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to improve the performance, and further the automation of, Knote’s text analysis software – specifically with entity recognition. Entity recognition is the process of identifying all groupings of words in a collection of documents that […]

Wedge Networks is a leading cybersecurity solution provider in Canada. In this project, we aim to investigate the application of statistical machine learning and deep learning to cyber threat detection, aiming to detect both network intrusions and malware binaries transmitted in the network. Based on the big data collected from Wedge’s system logs and anonymized […]

The goal of the research is to implement different data mining algorithms in order to improve the prediction on a user’s electricity consumption. The research will be dedicated to improve the existing algorithms or implementing new algorithms for the improvement of the prediction accuracy. Besides application of the prediction algorithms, different data pre-processing methods will […]

Kobo is an online e-book retailer that provides recommendations for future purchases to its user base. One difficulty that recommendation systems face is what is known as the “cold-user” problem. In this scenario, when we know so little of a user’s preferences (for example, if they are new to the platform), we do not have […]

La simulation chirurgicale offre un environnement de pratique sécuritaire pour la formation de nouveaux chirurgiens. De nombreux défis techniques doivent être relevés pour élaborer un environnement virtuel réaliste et utile. Ce projet aborde en particulier la simulation du comportement biomécanique des organes lors de leur interaction avec l’utilisateur, avec une attention particulière apportée au problème […]

With the fast-moving pace of the auto industry moving to more and more computing units, connected infotainment, pairing of on-board equipment to mobile devices, cloud connectivity, V2V, V2X, and autonomous functions, architects and developers need all the help they can get to address security and safety concerns in the systems. This internship will look at […]

This project will develop and apply machine learning techniques to predict the valuation of the properties in Nova Scotia. The techniques will help Property Valuation Services Corporation (PVSC) assessors with more efficiently and accurately valuing properties. The ultimate goal is to help PVSC reduce the number of annual appeals – which is a costly undertaking. […]
