CRISP is an international Deloitte development initiative aimed at helping some of our largest clients understand and managed corporate risk. CRiSP stands for “Cognitive Risk Sensing”, and it centers around using large sources of mostly unstructured data (i.e. 10% sample of all of Twitter, thousands of news aggregators, etc.) to understand and forecast risk for […]

Addictive Tech Corp is a fast-growing ad-tech company. They use real-time advertisement bidding software which is massive and sophisticated. The actual dynamics involved in any given bid are complex and hard to predict. This makes writing test logic for such a system cumbersome and catching all corner cases next to impossible. Because of the scale […]

Currently, some public and private organizations have implemented various identification verification solutions to manage identity authentication. The idea of using a third-party identity provider (IdP) to access a relying party (RP) is not new, and both RP and IdP have their benefits as they can only be connected once in a federated identity ecosystem. While […]

The Pungle payments-as-a-service platform delivers low cost, real-time, friction free business disbursements, peer-to-peer (P2P) transfers, and B2B supplier payments. Pungle’s mission is to enable businesses with a digital payments platform that provides real-time disbursements and transfers. The problem that arises with digitization of business payments is higher risk for fraud due to its electronic nature. […]

The worlds’ forests are being cleared at an alarming rate to make room for agriculture. Consequently, agricultural companies and those that finance them are increasingly required to demonstrate that the farms that they do business with were not recently deforested. Current methods for assessing deforestation involve using experts to analyze satellite images but this process […]

With the fast-growing size of machine learning datasets, it has become increasingly important to store them in a reliable and distributed manner. Large scale distributed file systems such as GFS, HDFS and Amazon S3 have the capability to store large scale of data reliably. However, these distributed file systems have an intrinsic shortcoming: they provide […]

Energy poverty is an issue that impacts many First Nations communities in British Columbia. Despite significant appetite from communities to develop clean energy solutions, many do not benefit from the available financing programs. This research seeks to understand what barriers exist for First Nations communities in accessing energy financing, as well as to identify some […]

The project attempts to tackle an important challenge in Artificial Intelligence (AI), to give a machine an ability to comprehend multiple documents like humans do. These can do the redundant or preliminary reading-based research performed in many domains. The project aims to create a system which can read, understand, and answer queries and/or summarize multiple […]

Kindred’s Sort product is a robotic system that operates in e-commerce distribution centers to sort and handle apparel and general merchandise. The deployed system is controlled through a combination of artificial intelligence and human-in-the-loop teleoperation. The proposed project involves applying techniques from artificial intelligence (specifically machine learning and reinforcement learning) to improve the ratio of […]

The goal of this project is to develop new models to optimize the treatment of cervix cancer using radiation therapy. We will develop two models to achieve this goal. The first model will model the uncertain nature of the tumour evolution as a function of time, which will help us predict the position, shape, and […]

Plant factories are closed growth environment, insulated, fully automated and artificially illuminated that can increase food security in regions such as Northern Canada. However. the technologies used in large scale plant factories are not suited for smaller scale plant factories, housed in shipping container. La Boîte Maraîchère design growth chambers in shipping container, but want […]

Pour rivaliser avec l’offre de pays à faible coût de main d’oeuvre, l’industrie canadienne du textile a dû se doter d’une technologie à l’avant-garde et offrir à sa clientèle des produits parfaitement adaptés à leurs besoins. Planifier efficacement la production d’une gamme exhaustive de produits demeure toutefois un réel défi, c’est pourquoi cette recherche vise […]
