The primary objective of this project is to implement a product taxonomy model that can reliably categorize receipt item labels to generate more personalized financial insights. Sensibill leverages unstructured receipt data to support personal and business finance management. Reliable categorization of receipt line items into specific merchant categories not only reduces the time for manual […]

With collaboration between the Council of the Great Lakes Region, Pollution Probe and Lambton College, the proposed project is focused on continuing the development of an artificial intelligence visualization tool to enable users to select growth constraints and visualize resulting changes to watershed health, predict how watersheds will evolve over time and prescribe actions to […]

Sensibill provides financial tools like digital receipt data that help banks and credit unions better know and serve their customers. Users can upload digital images through tools and the company would do image processing first and then use processed images to analyze. However, the previous image processing algorithm is time-consuming for users and doesn’t satisfy […]

Climate change and expansion of industrial development into the boreal zone are two, prominent stressors that Canadian boreal lakes face. This puts the quantity and quality of freshwater fish habitat at risk, and the subsequent productivity of fish populations in a given system. The objective if this work is to define the components of fish […]

In 5G and beyond networks, softwarization of network functions, as well as disaggregation of software and hardware, are the recent moves pushing Radio Access Networks (RAN) to be ultra-agile, reconfigurable and flexible. This flexibility comes along with complexity that goes beyond traditional algorithms’ capabilities to optimize the RAN. In addition, in future RANs, multiple-players interacting […]

Elephant and rhino population in southern African countries has been drastically decreasing due to poaching. This project aims to use tethered aerostats (blimps) equipped with robust cameras for constant detection and monitoring of these animals to protect them from external threats. The chosen location for implementation in Nyika National Park in northern Zambia, mainly due […]

The proposed research aims to provide a comprehensive explanation of the residents’ perceptions of roles and responsibilities of their local municipalities involved in community recycling in North America. It also will investigate the effect of the modern digital communication solution to the residents’ recycling engagement and education of proper household waste sorting, and examine whether […]

While taking foreign language tests, people may record responses with different background noises. The contaminated audios can lead to unusual results in speech recognition and scoring by the scoring systems. Pearson would like to develop a more robust system for the automated speech recognition machine to work with clean and noisy records. Audio files are […]

One assumption that is commonly used in machine learning is that samples are statistically independent. In effect, each sample of data doesn’t tell you anything about any other sample in the dataset. This is not true for all types of data; there are some types of datasets where relationships between samples can be modeled as […]

Road safety affects everyone, and companies are looking for ways to identify the risk factors for their fleet drivers, and to reduce the chance of accidents. This project will build on Geotab’s existing methods for assessing driving risks, and develop new techniques to better identify risky drivers and risky behaviours. The project will focus on […]

Companies spend a large amount of money and time on mobile application development which requires knowledge of various native platform programming languages and the different characteristics of these platforms. However, demands for mobile applications are increasing and are becoming difficult to follow for the IT department. One solution seems to be no-code development platforms that […]

Road safety affects everyone, not just Geotab customers. With several years of driving and environmental data collected from over 2 million connected vehicles, there is a great opportunity to leverage big data and machine learning to establish a minor collision detection system. On top of driving data and environmental data, it also contains machine diagnostic […]
