Every year, ~15,000 newborns in Canada who are critically ill are admitted to 31 Level 3 neonatal intensive care units (NICU). These newborns are at a high risk of death and illness. Over 65% of these newborns are not followed before birth in a hospital with a Level 3 NICU and need to be transferred […]

Pain is an unpleasant feeling and a significant health issue. A 2021 report by the Canadian Pain Task Force indicates that one in five people in Canada live with chronic pain, many of whom report it adversely affecting some or most daily activities. Chronic pain also has a tremendous impact on the Canadian economy. Additionally, […]

This project will build on the results achieved in MITACS Accelerate Project IT36824 on enhancing the security of the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem through smart contracts analysis. In particular, we plan to work on refining and extending the algorithm we developed to find and repair oracle related vulnerabilities in smart contracts with new techniques to […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

This project proposal aims to tackle a significant challenge in fintech: extracting human-readable descriptions from tabular financial data. Interpreting vast amounts of structured data in the dynamic financial technology landscape is crucial for informed decision-making and compliance reporting. The project seeks to develop a robust system by leveraging open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) tailored to […]

Dry Storage Containers are used by Ontario Power Generation (OPG) to store spent nuclear fuel that occurs due to power generation. These containers require inspection to ensure the welded seam sealing the lid to the container base contains no defects. Currently, this time-consuming process limits the production of these containers at a time when energy […]

Our project aims to tackle the persistent issue of bank check fraud by using advanced deep learning technologies. By developing a system that can automatically detect fraudulent alterations in check images, we seek to enhance the security and reliability of financial transactions. This project is a collaboration with Verafin Inc., a leading provider of fraud […]

The proposed research project aims to tackle the issue of bank cheque fraud. The project will use advanced object detection AI models to accurately extract and segment bank cheques into their component fields, a crucial step in detecting fraudulent activity. These AI models will be trained to recognize specific parts of a cheque, such as […]
