In this Mitacs project, we turn to agent-based modelling as an approach to model the complex behaviour of an individual’s financial transaction history. Agents are given a set of behaviours, such as habits, relationships, occupation, and daily patterns, and then act in a simulated environment to fulfill those behaviours. Our agent-based modelling will simulate the […]

The pandemic has had a devastating impact on mental health, substance use and homelessness in Canada. The pandemic has also made visible the current patchwork system of care provided in the private, public. It is expected that the medium-long term mental health and substance use impacts of the pandemic will be significant at both the […]

The program of eight interlocking applied research projects employs various machine learning (ML) methodologies with large volumes of Island Health cross-continuum patient-service encounter data inside the Island Health firewall. The objective is to generate ready-for-use products that will promote better outcomes via more effectively optimized interoperation of IH programs. As well, the work targets objectives […]

Cultural Planning encourages recognition of a community’s network of interrelated assets, and maintains that it is beneficial to conserve built cultural heritage resources. Many municipalities, including the City of Guelph, have undertaken cultural mapping initiatives, which are considered an initial step and a defining feature of this vein of planning. Guelph’s mapping initiative identifies the […]

Avec l’aide de la technologie développée par SWDS, les services publics d’eau potable pourront lever plus tôt et à moindre coût les avis reliés à l’eau potable, tels que les avis d’ébullition de l’eau ou de ne pas boire d’eau. Lors d’un incident de contamination de l’eau potable, les outils de SWDS peuvent trouver les […]

Falls are the leading cause of injuries in older adults. Identifying older adults with risk for falls prior to discharge home from the Emergency Department (ED) could help direct fall prevention interventions, yet ED-based tools to assist risk stratification are under-developed. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of our proposed machine […]

Here at Mastercard, we have a transaction data where an account (card holder) transacts at a merchant, this data can be viewed as a Bipartite Graph of account and merchant nodes, where each edge represent a transaction between them. We have multiple models/tasks that provide predictive intelligence at an account level, e.g., predicting an account […]

As part of the circular-economy, agriculture and plant production are developing sustainable means by which to produce healthy and nutritious crops, while using environmentally responsible products and protocols. INTAG Bio has developed a dynamic bioreactor system that allows earthworms to mineralize fish and bovine waste materials into useful biofertilizers and plant biostimulants. This project will […]

À la lumière du féminisme intersectionnel, qui souligne la coconstruction des rapports de pouvoir (sexisme, colonialisme, racisme, classisme, capacitisme et hétéronormativité), cette recherche-action analyse les structures et pratiques organisationnelles de trois groupes féministes du Bas-St-Laurent. Elle vise à les outiller pour réviser des politiques et pratiques existantes et innover en matière de structures de gestion […]

This research project proposes to gather sustainability strategies from different building-performance certification strategies and apply them in combination with climate data for the specific, and extreme zone in which Winnipeg is classified. This localized lens will allow refinement of strategies, which will be tested through digitally modelling 3D case studies to analyze different approaches to […]

Grâce au programme Cogni-Actif, les élèves du primaire pourront effectuer quotidiennement de l’activité physique en classe. Le jeu d’apprentissage physiquement actif propose aux élèves de bouger au même rythme que des personnages animés, tout en consolidant leurs compétences en littératie et numératie. Ce projet Mitacs vise à identifier les stratégies facilitatrices à intégrer au programme […]
