Observable Market Data is critical for effective valuation of trades for risk management purposes within the investment bank. The valuation process requires the existence of good quality data day by day, and dating back into the mid-2000’s. Not all assets have highly liquid data available either historically or at present, and there is significant interest […]

The core value of Nureva is to provide reliable and easy-to-use audio-conferencing products that offer a good user experience and maximize productivity. A very important factor of that is to output clean audio which oftentimes in its raw form is contaminated with environmental noise, reverberation, and echo. These problems have been researched using traditional signal […]

In this Mitacs project, the BSI intern will work with the University of Toronto’s Urban Climate Action Project (UCAP) and with Social Innovation Canada to distill and build on insights gleaned from jurisdictional scans, environmental reports, and other outputs produced by the University of Toronto’s Sustainability in a Living Lab course cohort and previous ones. […]

Road safety affects everyone, not just Geotab customers. With several years of driving and environmental data from over 2 million vehicles, we have an opportunity to make our customers safer, as well as our communities and cities. To reduce accidents, we need to understand both the driving behavioral patterns that are predictive of accidents and […]

In eukaryotic cells, genetic material is stored in a specialized compartment — the nucleus — while other cellular material is mostly found in the surrounding cytoplasm. The selective exchange of materials between the nucleus and cytoplasm, known as nucleocytoplasmic transport (NCT), is vital to many important cellular processes including gene regulation and protein synthesis. NCT […]

Reinforcement learning has caught significant attention in the past decade with landmark successes including deep Q-net applied to video games and AlphaGo for the game of go. However, the gap is still wide when it comes to application to real world problems mainly due to high training cost. We propose to develop a digital model […]

With data being the new digital currency, consumption of data is growing at an exponential rate. Data communication between mobile devices and servers generates a massive cost to businesses because of the high throughput. The business impact becomes exponentially large with respect to cellular bills and additional resources handling elevated server workloads. The objective of […]

Road safety has been a major concern to everyone. Geotab has collected driving and environmental data from over 2 million connected vehicles, looking for the solution for safe communities and cities. To reduce accidents, it is needed to understand both driving behavioral patterns that are predictive of accidents, and the environmental factors involved. To achieve […]

This project works towards an unhackable quantum internet. An unhackable Internet has been named the Number 1 breakthrough technology by the magazine, MIT Technological Review. A quantum Internet will be unhackable due to the laws of physics. Photons are the carrier of choice for quantum information in a quantum internet. Quantum repeaters are needed for […]

You might have asked Google Assistant what’s the weather like today, or a choice for Valentine’s Day dinner; have you imagined whether Google Assistant could be your assistant at work too, answering questions such as “Hey Google, what day generates the most revenue?”? At SOTI, we are turning this idea to reality, by integrating our […]
