Recent telescope observations have discovered clusters of galaxies when the universe was only 10% of its current age. They formed stars vigorously at rates of up to 10,000 solar masses per year, quite the opposite of nearby galaxy clusters that are predominantly quiescent. The cause for their extreme starburst nature of the most distant protoclusters […]

State-of-the-art natural language processing tools are rapidly improving in being able to identify real-world objects in texts (e.g. person, location, organization). However, the vocabularies and document structures used in a medical setting can vary from general language corpus from which the NLP models were trained; resulting in poor performance. This project will fine-tune existing NLP […]

To evaluate the overall performance of the newly developed Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) in flexure, including deflections, stiffness and ultimate capacity, an experimental program has recently been launched. The program includes transverse bending tests of a total of 18 full-sized SIPs with various configurations using a vacuum chamber. Pressure and deflections are measured during the […]

Fluoro-polymer powder materials have been spotlighted for the use of robust outer surface morphology applications and artistic pattern creation for the outside window in global construction market. However, this anti-sticking art pattern generation on metallic plates like aluminum plates are very challenging compared with the printing on the glass window. So, it’s been a long […]

Developments in machine learning have increased interest in data-driven methods, particularly in predictive control. Data-enabled predictive control has been claimed to provide a data-driven end-to-end solution. It includes robustness guarantees obtained through regularization, borrowed from popular machine learning methods. These novel methods use data in a new framework, where analysis methods used in adaptive control […]

This project will focus on digitalizing one specific type of engineering drawing by applying image processing technology. IPS has developed technology to digitalize different types of engineering drawings, and identified different technology and product development needs on a technology road map. This project is established for image processing for piping isometric drawings, and is important […]

Our company is developing an AI-powered clinical documentation platform. In the proposed project, the intern will assist us in improving our Natural Processing (NLP) models designed to automate clinical documentation for Orthopedic Physical Therapy clinics. These NLP models will be capable of processing text comprising medical vocabulary and terminologies. With this project, we aim to […]

Like many of the world’s largest mining companies, Newmont is voluntarily targeting net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Recent research on technical feasibility of mining operation decarbonization has shown that mining companies may be able to achieve up to 70% carbon emissions reductions through internal initiatives, but may require options to capture and store carbon (either […]

Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are debilitating disorders that cause patients to slowly lose their lung function, resulting in shortness of breath, limited capacity for movement, and subsequent death. Over 15,000 Canadians currently suffer from some form of ILD, yet not all of them receive proper therapy, partly due to difficulties in identifying the precise ILD […]

Burrard Inlet’s marine environment has been impacted by industrial and commercial activities and residential development for many decades. These coastlines provide critical habitat for various fish species. Port Moody Arm is one sub-basin of Burrard Inlet which has particular importance for Pacific salmon and forage fish. Industrial activity and development patterns in this area have […]

This research project is focused on data analytics for our Australian clients. One, focused on the data aggregation and exploration analytics for the State of Queensland, the other for the State of Western Australia. The interns will be working with cutting-edge machine learning and NLP approaches. This project will help increase the quality and speed […]

Mycotoxins are acutely toxic compounds produced by fungi when they infect food crops such as grains and cereals but can also be found in cannabis flower and products. These compounds are known to cause cancer and kidney failure when ingested and are therefore closely regulated by Health Canada. There are 4 main mycotoxins that are […]
