This project is the first step to providing Thinking North’s Purple Squirrel recruitment platform to go beyond traditional matching with a novel, data-backed holistic candidate matching process. To provide a robust system, Thinking North is collaborating with Seneca’s School of Software Design and Data Science to use advanced artificial intelligence and gamification techniques to combine […]

Innovasea produces fish tags and receivers to track the presence and motion of fish and marine mammals while underwater. Fish tracking (acoustic telemetry) is used by researchers worldwide to determine the abundance and habits of marine life, make decisions about fishing seasons and allowed catches, and help protect marine mammals. Innovasea has developed a novel […]

Ce projet consiste à extraire la nature des accès informatiques des employés d’une organisation et les consolider afin de permettre au gestionnaire de l’employer ou à un auditeur d’avoir une vue d’ensemble des accès informatiques de ses employés. Les employés qui arrivent ou quittent l’organisation, ou changent d’emploi dans la même organisation exigent une révision […]

To communicate with their end users, businesses regularly produce written documents such as letters, notices, statements, etc. in various languages. A set of rules are usually used to ensure that information in these documents is ‘correct’ and consistent across languages and communication channels. However, with the increasing volume and variety of information being sent out […]

Predictive modeling of financial data, especially trading activity or asset prices, is a very challenging task. There are a number of novel approaches to feature engineering, data preparation and model architectures that aim to mitigate some of the problems that arise from non-stationarity and other issues typically found in financial time series data. This project […]

Multiple situations require cross-lingual searching: lawyers reviewing litigation documents; intelligence analysts data mining open source data; and patent attorneys investigating technical documents. To imitate cross-lingual search, people use online translation platforms to find the equivalent terms laboriously and then re-execute the query multiple times in various languages. The commercial search industry hasn’t seen much demand […]

In this project, we plan to study and improve the existing Best Tests section of the Clinician Portal from Alpha Laboratories. Best Tests provides metrics to clinicians that allow them to compare the effectiveness and cost of their test ordering patterns. However, the problem is that many of these comparison metrics are not easy to […]

Finance has experienced a significant increase in studies tackling issues related to Sustainability in recent years. The majority of them rely on third-party ESG ratings which are diverse, not transparent, and lack standardization. Our project aims to use text-mining techniques to identify ESG dimensions in sustainability-related documents and offer an automatic measurement across the ESG […]

For this project, we will develop the statistical theory to support, as well as a full functioning prototype for, a large-scale multidimensional data visualization application. This application, which will be fully scalable, will include an interactive user dashboard with customizable widgets. By taking a methodological approach to this type of research , along with an […]

The objective of this project is to develop and test a first aid training program using Augmented Reality (AR), a technology that superimposes computer-generated animations on a user’s view of the real world, in the context of lifesaving education. Education is an industry that is currently being transformed using the latest technologies. In the advancing […]

Machine learning, specifically deep learning, for face recognition applications has advanced significantly over the past 20 years [ref: science direct survey on deep based facial recognition]. There are many deep learning concepts pertinent to face image analysis and facial recognition, and there is active research in outstanding problems ranging from effective algorithms to handle variations […]

This project seeks to build the body of academic understanding on how to effectively deliver a mental health skills-based intervention through a mobile app. The analysis will be done through retrospective and live analysis of the Resili app, a publicly available mHealth app which promotes strong mental health through the administration of a Dialectical Behaviour […]
