Generating synthetic data is important for a number of machine learning problems at Mastercard especially in the areas of additional data generation for imbalanced problems, data sharing etc. The data is mostly tabular in nature and a number of techniques exist for generating tabular data in the literature. However most of these techniques do not […]

Within the field of property and casualty insurance (P&C), one of the most pertinent dilemmas is the estimation of the insurance premiums required to accommodate potential losses. Due to the inherently random nature of losses, one of the tools utilized within P&C insurance is credibility theory, which utilizes a weighted average between past portfolio data […]

Canada currently employs patterned non-invasive brain stimulation techniques in the treatment of conditions such as depression and anxiety. The goal of this study will aim to determine whether there is a more effective way to deliver brain stimulation compared to traditional methods. We will compare a new controlled TMS compared to the traditional TMS hardware. […]

Health economic evaluation provides a comparison on the incremental costs between two interventions and whether this extra cost is justifiable by the incremental clinical benefits. It has been increasingly used by payers to inform drug reimbursement decision as it can answer the question on whether a new health technology will provide value-for-money. Consequently, alongside clinical […]

Significant scientific knowledge gaps remain with respect to nuclear power production and impacts on the environment and the community. Four specific research areas for interns have been identified to help resolve some of the issues or gaps in knowledge. The specific areas of research include: (A) determining appropriate thresholds for animal population-level effects, (B) assessing […]

Our team hopes to learn more about how common problems are within the uterus of Canadian women and people who were assigned female at birth but no longer identify as women. The uterus can have many problems such as fibroids, adenomyosis, polyps, congenital anomalies, isthmoceles, and intrauterine adhesions. In general, ultrasound is the main tool […]

This study explores the perspectives of Canadians, including equity-deserving groups on artificial intelligence (AI). Underrepresented groups, who are not consulted enough in policymaking due to inequality, are given a platform through this study to share their insights. The goal is to provide inclusive practices in the development, regulation and use of AI. Participants from diverse […]

While most of the literature focuses directly on cellular response to biomaterials, cell attachment and behaviour is mediated by the proteins attached to the material. The composition and characteristics of such proteins is dependent on the substrates’ properties, both chemical, physical and mechanical. However, how surface characteristics control protein-material interactions still requires further investigation. The […]

Groups of stars (star clusters) that we see throughout the Universe form inside giant clouds of molecular gas inside galaxies. After a few million years, clusters can disperse surrounding gas through a combination of stellar winds, radiation, and supernovae, making them easier to observe (stellar feedback). While clusters are embedded inside molecular clouds, it is […]

Algorithms play an increasingly important role in our interactions with digital services. Companies like Spotify and Pandora use algorithms to identify mood-relevant music from massive databases of over 100 million tracks and deliver them to users through personalized playlists. To achieve this, they rely on software tools to analyze relevant musical properties—like timing (slow–fast), intensity […]

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

AI-MD is an AI-driven symptom checker that allows people to monitor their health and scan their body for suspected illness and disease. Millions of people are using symptom checkers online every month that only allow them to describe thier symptom information using text or checking off boxes. Not only are these tools not accurate, but […]
