Intrinsik has identified a number of key chemical-pathway combinations that are missing environmental quality guidelines but frequently required for evaluating risks at pipeline compressor stations. With support from senior scientific personnel at Intrinsik, the intern will used environmental risk assessments methods to develop risk-based environmental quality guidelines that are relevant to the land use scenario(s) […]

Newly available technologies for 3D fabrication — notably hobbyist 3D printers — are widening the user base for 3D design software. Autodesk, currently the industry leader in 3D design software, is broadening the scope of their activities, seeking to reach amateur users and to encourage their use of Autodesk software solutions. One of the most […]

Personalized ad targeting is one of the most important features to ensure a successful advertising campaign—e.g., F-150 ford pickup trucks are best shown to construction workers than teenage girls. Another important aspect of ad personalization is frequency capping the ads. For example, showing the same ad 100 times to 1 user will result in not […]

Addictive Mobility is a leading online advertising company in Canada. The success of ad campaigns drives the majority of the company revenue. Exploring advanced machine-learning techniques to efficiently control an ad's performance is crucial to the company strategy. The objective of the proposed project is to optimize the real-time bidding system in the sense that […]

The ultimate aim of this project is to design and develop methods and tools for classifying attributes of books such as genre, style, tone, and likelihood of being popular. Towards this end we will make use of various information types available on books and users of the Kobo catalog, including the text, meta-data associated with […]

How to define user requirements accurately and design user interface appropriately have been a very active research area concerned with human-computer interaction and graphic design. Because of the scale and the complexity of three-dimensional (3D) animation software, making correct design decisions becomes tougher. Houdini is a 3D animation software as well as the main product […]

The project aims to build a 3D object detection system by using a number of images from multiple cameras. The system will train on instances of objects to detect other instances of the same object. This means that if, for example, we want to detect a sphere, we will make the system learn how a […]

Based on the evaluation of modelled soil vapour concentrations it is common for soil contaminants of concern (i.e., volatile contaminants) to pose a potential health risk to receptors via the soil-to-indoor air vapour migration pathway. However, it is understood that the approach used to model vapour concentrations in indoor air, though acceptable to the Ontario […]

Mobile robots equipped with chemical, radiological and explosive detectors are deployed during events where CBRNE materials have been dispersed; sending robots provides key reconnaissance data while reducing personnel exposure. Operators rely on camera views and on-board detectors to drive the robots using joysticks, and they have to control every aspect of the robot operation. Live […]

The project will develop a data mining strategy on how to efficiently use Geotab’s data from multiple sources to isolate network connectivity logs in Geotab’s data, interpolate the GPS coordinates associated with network logs, acquire fuel consumption rates and related opportunities. It will involve a literature survey of the existing algorithms to gain valuable insights. […]

Perform an exploratory research to investigate the potential to extract knowledge by aggregating historical data across the company's clients and applying machine learning techniques on them. The goal is to device prediction models that can forecast the condition of certain events(such as life of pipelines) using statistical analysis. Riva Modeling( partner organization) will benefit from […]

Through this research project the intern will investigate the potential of data visualization incorporating a social collaboration element tied to typical data types in asset management. The partner organization Riva Modeling Systems will benefit from the proposed research by providing its clients with an enhanced asset management tool that allows various groups or individuals within […]
