The goal of this work will be to explore different ways to visualize and interact with knowledge extracted automatically from very large heterogeneous document collections. This extracted knowledge will be in the form of a multi-attribute graph of extracted entities and relationships between them. These relationships will be associated with both temporal and spatial information. […]

The Agriculture and Agri-Food System of Canada (AAFS) is an important component of the Canadian economy. Outdoor agricultural shows have moved from their simple marketplace roots to places that facilitate increased productivity, accelerated innovation and business formation. Central to these functions is the geographic concentration of stakeholders. With the growth in show size, supporting effective […]

Resource extraction, including mineral exploration and mining, is an important part of Canada’s economy. There is currently a great interest in finding the minerals that are needed for batteries; arguably the lack of minerals is the biggest impediment to cutting the price of electric vehicles and weaning society off fossil fuels. Artificial intelligence has great […]

The Restorative Action Program (RAP) is an incorporated, community-based initiative that provides support to students and staff within public and Catholic school systems, to address conflict and bullying through conflict management and leadership development. The organization has been in existence since 2003 and is currently serving approximately 9,000 students per year and growing. The addition […]

Bioinformatics is at the intersection of computer science, mathematics and biology. With the advent of new technologies, more and more genomic data is being generated. A common task for analysing such data is to visualize it in an interactive way that highlights the results of computational analyses. In the past 5 years, Web browsers have […]

CRISP is an international Deloitte development initiative aimed at helping some of our largest clients understand and managed corporate risk. CRiSP stands for “Cognitive Risk Sensing”, and it centers around using large sources of mostly unstructured data (i.e. 10% sample of all of Twitter, thousands of news aggregators, etc.) to understand and forecast risk for […]

Addictive Tech Corp is a fast-growing ad-tech company. They use real-time advertisement bidding software which is massive and sophisticated. The actual dynamics involved in any given bid are complex and hard to predict. This makes writing test logic for such a system cumbersome and catching all corner cases next to impossible. Because of the scale […]

Currently, some public and private organizations have implemented various identification verification solutions to manage identity authentication. The idea of using a third-party identity provider (IdP) to access a relying party (RP) is not new, and both RP and IdP have their benefits as they can only be connected once in a federated identity ecosystem. While […]

The Pungle payments-as-a-service platform delivers low cost, real-time, friction free business disbursements, peer-to-peer (P2P) transfers, and B2B supplier payments. Pungle’s mission is to enable businesses with a digital payments platform that provides real-time disbursements and transfers.

With the fast-growing size of machine learning datasets, it has become increasingly important to store them in a reliable and distributed manner. Large scale distributed file systems such as GFS, HDFS and Amazon S3 have the capability to store large scale of data reliably. However, these distributed file systems have an intrinsic shortcoming: they provide […]

The project attempts to tackle an important challenge in Artificial Intelligence (AI), to give a machine an ability to comprehend multiple documents like humans do. These can do the redundant or preliminary reading-based research performed in many domains. The project aims to create a system which can read, understand, and answer queries and/or summarize multiple […]
