The QWeMA division of CANNEX develops solutions for the financial and insurance industry of North America. Our analytics play an important role in determining the value proposition of investment products. Our solutions help the financial community and public through their financial advisors to be able to make informed decisions. We work at the intersection of […]

In this project, we will apply machine learning to perform image style classification. We will build a system that uses image style classification to increase user engagement in an eCommerce platform setting. We will study the effects of user preferences for particular image styles on their engagement with the platform. Image style classification is the […]

Copper and palladium (Cu-Pd) mineralization at the Marathon Deposit are associated with gabbro rocks. It is fundamentally important to be able to distinguish among the different types of gabbros, because only those of the Marathon Series are host to mineralization. This is accomplished through logging drill core, whole rock geochemistry and mineralogy. Mineralization at the […]

This project concentrates on the scenario optimization method which does not need to make any assumption for the underlying asset distribution and directly incorporate such uncertainty into the objective or constraint functions through stochastic programming. The scenario optimization is performed under different parameters and constraints while Markowitz and Black-Litterman model are taken as the benchmarks […]

Dental implants are commonly used to replace missing teeth. There are several surgical techniques used with bone replacement materials to achieve alveolar bone regeneration. Dicalcium phosphate cements such as monetite, are synthetic materials made very easily and get removed as bone is regenerated within or around them. C3 is a novel drug that is a […]

The performance of non-precious metal catalysts (NPMCs) for proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has now reached a stage at which they can be considered as possible alternatives to expensive Pt, especially for low power applications. However, despite significant efforts on catalyst development in the past, only limited studies have been performed on NPMC-based electrode […]

Mobile health (mHealth) apps allow patients to practice self-care and manage their chronic diseases. Common functions in mHealth tools allow users to monitor their symptoms and mood, keep a thought diary, track medication use and trend information; this provides data that can be used to better understand patient behaviour to ensure that patient needs are […]

Bell’s Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) team is collaborating with academic institutions in order to further research and develop cyber security analytics for the protection of critical infrastructure and data. The focus of this research is to create and leverage a traffic classification project specifically for network security purposes. This research to design distributed algorithms fast […]

This project proposes to explore and implement a method of storing and retrieving data relating to genetic variation across a population of individuals. Due to the large amount of genetic information each person possesses, such a database requires special attention to minimize the amount of data stored and to create efficient methods of accessing the […]

The primary goal of this project is to explore a variety of new and existing Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to improve the performance, and further the automation of, Knote’s text analysis software – specifically with entity recognition. Entity recognition is the process of identifying all groupings of words in a collection of documents that […]

My project focuses on a particular kind of massive star that are surrounded by disks called B-emission (Be) stars. These objects are ideal laboratories for studying disks. Massive stars can spew out a thousand times more energy per second than our Sun and because the disk is formed from gas launched from the star, they […]

The loss of bone is a massive burden on the health care system and severely impacts the quality of life of several hundred million people. The need for alternative strategies to replace or regenerate bone tissue is overwhelming. We are proposing a completely new approach to the engineering of bone using a ?cocktail? of genetically […]
