Our interactions with actors in the financial services industry, including our partner company, uncovered that they possess large amounts of data pertaining to investors and markets, but have yet to extract/learn information of significant value from that data such as expected actions by clients. The industry is conscious of this, but while they are making […]

Working in partnership, Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg (KZA) and the Carleton Immersive Media Studio (CIMS) propose the development of a novel, hybrid digital platform that brings together the progressive community development initiatives of KZA with CIMS’ established research record in the field of building information modelling (BIM). The research challenges involved in the development of a […]

In the context of ocean sustainability of west coast of Canada, some questions that need to be considered are: what is the significance of environmental indicators related to the impact on marine aquatic species? How can changes in environment be predicted by patterns of bioindicators, for example as a result of hypoxia, affecting farmed and […]

The goal of the project is to evaluate the effectiveness of video as medium of delivery and consumption of large quantities of digital information. The team will create an automated way to generate videos for properties and rental information so as to reduce costs on manual video creation and build user profiles based on smart […]

Recruitment of future employees is an essential activity in any organization, yet it is tedious and error-prone. Substantial effort is spent in rote tasks like finding candidates matching a particular job offer, contacting them, scheduling an interview and performing the actual interview, while the more interesting tasks like making a final decision on who to […]

To achieve useful results in training deep neural network, one typically needs huge number of labelled images. In most practical cases, it is often time consuming, expensive and sometimes even near impossible to get the required numbers of labelled images. Data augmentation consists in a set of image processing techniques that can be applied to […]

Scotiabank employs teams of cybersecurity specialists across its global operations and partners with a variety of external organizations to prevent and investigate any electronic attempts to gain access to the Bank’s data. At the same time, employees are continuously educated and expected to look for warning signs and efforts to infiltrate that data as well. […]

Edge computing is expected to play a transformative role for future AI applications in 5G networks by bringing cloud-style resource provisioning closer to the devices that have the data. Instead of running resource-intensive AI applications at the end devices, we can consolidate their execution at the edge, which brings many benefits, such as eliminating the […]

A key factor to deliver reliable intelligent vehicles is the proper exploitation of data gathered from the different sensors equipping the vehicle. To do so, a data fusion algorithm is applied. However, the reliability of the sensors can change (for example due to weather conditions), therefore, a solution to evaluate the quality of the data […]
