The goal of Engagement Intellect system (at Deloitte) is to use conversations between patients and physicians and convert them into useful information. This is done using recent advancements in artificial intelligence technologies that can automatically extract symptoms, medical history, and other relevant information from the voice recordings. Besides extraction, the project will focus on associating […]

In this project, using such mainstream cryptocurrencies as BitCoin and Ethereum as representatives, the intern will analyze the transaction collection strategies of their mining pools, and then collect transactions and the corresponding blocks data to build a large dataset, from which the computing power of different mining pools and their proportions will be analyzed, together […]

The partner uses a simple formula to estimate the percent of deck space committed on upcoming sailings. The goal of this project is to determine whether the accuracy of this calculation can be improved. The objectives of this project include understanding the data used in the “% full” calculation, conducting a literature review to determine […]

Conflicts between humans and black bears in urban settings challenge the wellbeing of both human communities and black bear populations. As human urban communities develop and expand into areas with bears present, conflicts between humans and bears may also increase. It is important to utilize available tools such as education and regulatory bylaws to reduce […]

In this project, we will develop and evaluate an autonomous, unmanned aerial photogrammetry system for metric inspection of hard-to-reach vertical infrastructures, such as telecommunication towers and high-rise buildings. Metric inspection means identifying and measuring the facts that may have an impact on health conditions of assets, such as changes in tower alignment or deformations of […]

Many people with physical disabilities depend on forearm crutches to help them walk. Although crutches are helpful, many people experience overuse injuries. Injuries to the wrists, elbows and shoulders are commonly experienced with long-term use. The research project will examine differences between a traditional forearm crutch and two models of a newly designed forearm crutch […]

This project aims at applying the technique of Model Predictive Control (MPC) to control the thermostatic loads in HVAC systems in the context of smart buildings. The main objective of this project is to verify the capability of MPC-base control schemes developed in academic research projects with a real system operated by Fusion in terms […]

The Soundskrit group at TandemLaunch is working to revolutionize microphone design by using fibers to sense sound instead of membranes. Fibers respond to the velocity of sound waves and are therefore inherently directional, as opposed to membranes, which respond to sound pressure. Fibers can therefore pick up directional sounds such as human speech more effectively […]

Le territoire de Saint-Jean-Vianney montre les cicatrices de deux glissements de terrain catastrophiques survenus en 1663 et en 1971. Le dernier s’est soldé par des pertes humaines et matérielles importantes pour la région du Saguenay. Le projet de recherche proposé se divise en deux projets de maîtrise qui serviront à répondre aux deux grands objectifs […]

The Opportunity Equation is a multi-year research project that explores trends, dynamics and causes of income inequality in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The project aims to produce a comprehensive portrait of the changing income distribution and income gaps among key socio-demographic groups in the City of Toronto, York Region and the Region of Peel […]

Ciena would like to drastically improve its ability to track, analyse and forecast the cost of products. Building on experience with the current tool suite and business practices, Ciena aims to develop a next-generation product cost analytics solution that will run on its existing IT infrastructure and allow capture, analysis and modeling of historical as […]

The Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research (CIMVHR), affiliated research partners at universities across Canada, and IBM Canada Ltd. have identified a significant and universal issue facing health researchers that applies to Canadian military, Veteran and family health (MVFH) research and health research for the Canadian population at large. Comprehensive and complete medical […]
