“Projet d’amélioration continue en assurance qualité : Numérisation des systèmes pour une gestion optimisée de la qualité en industrie pharmaceutique”

L’industrie pharmaceutique est soumise à de nombreuses normes et exigences en matière de qualité, ce qui en fait l’un des secteurs les plus réglementés. La gestion de ces exigences implique une documentation importante qui nécessite une gestion rigoureuse. Cependant, lorsque cette gestion documentaire n’est pas dématérialisée, elle peut être lourde. C’est dans ce contexte que […]

Word Embeddings instead of One-hots: Using Transformers word embeddings to improve categorical feature encoding in financial fraud data

Detecting financial fraud is complex. One important source of information is textual data, such as the text within reports, descriptions, or comments. Two different words may have similar meanings but vary differently in their characters and length. In this project, we evaluate how the meaning of a word may be used to improve financial fraud […]

Optimization methodologies for Net-Zero Energy Communities

The future of energy supply in Ontario is uncertain. We are faced with an aging nuclear fleet and pressure to avoid future energy generation near communities. Building demands are a strain on energy supplies. A solution is to reduce building energy needs while providing sufficient distributed energy generation on a community-scale. A net-zero energy (NZE) […]
