Exploring the transformational potential of regenerative tourism in Southern Ontario

Tourism growth has led to unsustainable and careless practices. An emergent response disrupting such carelessness is regenerative tourism. Regenerative tourism is a transformational approach exploring ways to co-create benefits with local communities and their ecosystems while providing authentic experiences for visitors. While interest in regenerative tourism is growing there are limited studies exploring the benefits […]

Natural Language Processing for Medical Billing Code Prediction

It is extremely challenging for clinicians and health researchers to extract insights from unstructured text data at scale. Recently, there has been a significant advancement in Natural Language Processing. Large deep-learning models, most famous of which are the transformers, generate pre-trained embeddings and are developed to extract insights from massive amounts of text. This project […]

Comparison of gaseous and droplet-bound breath biomarkers using Thin-Film Microextraction (TFME) and Needle-Trap Devices (NTD) Coupled with Comprehensive Two-dimensional Gas Chromatography Time-of-flight Mass spectrometry (GCxGC-TOFMS)

Organic compounds in water can be potentially hazardous. We will develop a green and solvent-free method for screening the organic pollutants in different water samples. Also, we will study the changes in water during the different treatment process. This research will benefit the community and provide a protection protocol.

Scalable Verification of Imperative Programs

Deductive verification is a subdiscipline of computer science which ensures software reliability and safety by formally modeling and proving program behavior. It is currently difficult to apply by non-experts and scales badly with program size and complexity. Pluggable type systems, which annotate variables and sub-programs with types that describe their expected values and behavior, offer […]

Health Learning System with Real World Evidence

Although the gold standard for supportive clinical evidence has historically been randomized controlled trials, given their rigid and constrained nature, they rarely describe the effectiveness of an intervention or drug in real-life practice. Therefore, regulators, payers, healthcare providers, and institutions are turning towards real-world data collected at the interface of the patient and the health […]
