The proposed study aims to address how different social and political climates affects the mental and physical health of transgender and gender diverse people living across 4 U.S. states and 1 Canadian province. This is significant because we are at a turning point in history in which there is both increasing visibility of trans people […]

Delphia’s business model revolves around generating insights for investing firms that allow them to make better trading decisions. It has been shown that detecting when Twitter users post about recent or future purchases has the potential to increase the accuracy of company sales forecasts, which in turn can inform stock trading strategies. This internship project […]

SS&C processes more than 80% of financial scanned and faxed documents in the US and requires large amount of manual labor in order to map information from a document into another form. Advances in neural networks applied to computer vision have produced text detection and recognition that nears human performance. This project will be leveraging […]

The multiple sclerosis (MS) clinic at St. Michael’s Hospital (SMH) is among the largest in the world. While considerable data is collected from the MS clinic in both structured and unstructured form, the ability to glean this information to assess quality of care and conduct advanced analytics such as predictive modeling is limited. In this […]

The goal of this project can be divided into three subobjectives. First, we need to propose, implement and train an accurate eye tracking model on the server, then migrate it to an embedded platform with a simple application that can run the model. Finally, we need to experiment different pruning methods for the network and […]

On time discovery of problems and constant monitoring of construction sites have great economical benefit. It requires the capability of highly efficient and accurate object detection and segmentation algorithms that can work with coarsely labelled training samples. The project is aimed to develop new learning-based object detection and segmentation algorithms for problem detection and mapping […]

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), a form of cellulose, shows a lot of promise in the development of sustainable materials thanks to its unique properties such as high performance, large surface area, is readily available, renewable, and biodegradable. Early methods to synthesize CNC have not been very successful. In order to isolate CNC, to make them ready […]

Based on current research in the field of genetic disorders, gene therapy – through the use of gene editing tools such as CRISPR – is a promising method to rescue defective genes. Stem cells from patient can provide a compelling in vitro model for gene therapy. In this work we are investigating the effects of […]

The project will help us design a machine learning model that can determine the demand transference of our customers. The key objective of this project is to design, research, build, and experiment with machine learning models to ensure low product waste and high customer satisfaction. The model will have several impactful applications across the organization.

Despite a significant improvement in healthcare systems over the past decades, the rapid growth in the number of patients with multiple chronic diseases – called multimorbidity – stands as a complex challenge to healthcare services that are primarily designed to treat individuals with single conditions. Advances in machine learning as well as in computing power […]

SOTI Inc. is a Canadian company providing control and management for mobile devices. Insight Agent is a product made by SOTI to help collect various battery specifications such as battery level, voltage, current and other metrics from mobile devices. This research project aims to use a machine learning and neural networks framework to predict the […]

Oncology specialists are few in numbers and cannot be present within every hospital or clinic providing their guidance and support. There are institutions in this world with oncology experts that can provide the best possible care and the knowledge of these experts is stored in medical case files within the hospital. With the power of […]
