In-vivo imaging provides a unique opportunity to examine complex cellular activity in live tissue. Images produced by these experiments are difficult to analyze manually, typically applied to mono-layer cell culture assays (i.e. cells in a dish). Recent advances in deep learning enable the opportunity to analyze these in-vivo tissue images with greater efficiency and accuracy. […]

The intra-operative errors that occurs in adverse events have been a major concern in healthcare and surgical industry. Conventionally, error-event assessment is done by peer surgeon review, which is time consuming and costly. With the advances in machine learning and computer vision techniques, it is possible to keep track of the operation surgical procedures based […]

People rely on recommendations from other people, friends’ word, news reports, and travel guide and so forth. Recommendation systems assist people to sift through available books, web pages, restaurants, and grocery products. [16]. We want to build a recommendation flow in the retail industry to serve Canadian citizens better. The system will understand the customers […]

Studies have indicated a positive correlation between teaching robotic programming using a virtual platform with speed of learning and deeper level understanding. We will study how students learn when provided with just physical robots, just virtual robotics software, and both in conjunction with each other. This study will also attempt to assess indicators of learning […]

The goal is to create a conversation loop between 3D designers and artificial intelligence programs. This will help the AI provide suggestions to the designer, while the designer provides the AI with feedback. This can help make it easier for designing complicated objects as well as complicated textures that belong to the surface of 3D […]

Processes are important concepts in modern society since they control and standardize the interactions between businesses, consumers, governments and other organizations. However, the rise of knowledge-based industries such as financial services, healthcare, advanced manufacturing and software development have produced unstructured and knowledge-dependent processes. These Knowledge Intensive Processes (KIPs) KIPs range from partially structured to unstructured […]

NLP techniques have been used and tested for several years in different environments and for different applications/domains. The performances of the Natural Language Understanding (NLU) toolbox are closely related to the quality of the text but also on the specific knowledge-domain. Social Media content typically use short sentences with simple grammar and tend to include […]

Internet of things (IoT) includes of multitude of sensors from a wide variety of applications. These sensors produce high volume and high velocity data. In addition, the transmission errors and malfunction of devices also necessitates checking the reliability/veracity of incoming data. The volume, velocity, and veracity are three Vs that are commonly describe in the […]

An artificial intelligence tool that is capable of generating natural-sounding speech can be embedded into many valuable services such as conversational agents for the disabled and conversational assistants. Such tool, when equipped with the capability of mimicking individuals’ vocal characteristics, will improve personalization of these services. In this project the intern will seek to develop […]

In a few words, this is a fintech data analysis project. The idea is, given temporal data of financial nature, to build algorithms that predict its evolution over time. For instance, the data could be certain assets prices, or customer buying history. The objective would be to respectively predict this asset price in a close […]

With the growing relevance of data, PwC has embraced Data & Analytics as part of its culture. The Tax practice, specifically, strives to bring value to market by empowering domain experts with automation and data-driven services. Among their initiatives, the Tax Technology team is investigating methods to evaluate the quality of corporate tax returns (T2). […]

The goal of Engagement Intellect system (at Deloitte) is to use conversations between patients and physicians and convert them into useful information. This is done using recent advancements in artificial intelligence technologies that can automatically extract symptoms, medical history, and other relevant information from the voice recordings. Besides extraction, the project will focus on associating […]
