This project is focused on improving the theory, software and scope of applications of quantum computational chemistry. The intern will work with the company research team to further develop new theoretical methods which are under development, implement them into code as part of the existing open-source PennyLane package, and run tests for modelling the vibrational […]

In many real-world machine learning problems, inadequate labeled data and extensive unlabeled data are usually available. Normally, unlabeled data is collected routinely, though the high cost associated with labeling the data is high for generating the labeled training dataset for supervised learning. Moreover, the lack of domain experts and the time-consuming data labeling, especially in […]

In a geographical information system, latitude, longitude, and height are commonly used to represent the location of a point on or near the Earth’s surface. The first two, called horizontal coordinates, refer to reference ellipsoid and are known as geodetic latitude (?) and longitude (?). The third coordinate, i.e. height of a point is referenced […]

The two-spotted spider mite (TSSM) is a global pest that feeds on more than 150 crops including soybean. In Ontario, its pest pressure is especially high in dry years. With climate change, the TSSM pest pressure will increase, predicting the need for the effective pesticide control of TSSM. Dimethoate (Lagon® or Cygon®), an organophosphate pesticide, […]

Insurance companies collect huge volumes of text on a daily basis and through multiple channels, which can be used for lots of different analyses, including identifying “cause of death”. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of an insurance company’s need to understand the facts and circumstances surrounding an insured individual’s death. These facts, including […]

The goal of this internship is to design and build a model which can generate contextually appropriate questions during a market research survey. This project will build on existing work, and will extend it by incorporating commonsense reasoning, long-range memory, and possibly other features The model will be tested with real humans using an online […]

Most operations of horticulture are intensive users of water and nutrients. Growers recognize the importance of water conservation and recycling, and environmental protection and significant research dollars have been invested to develop integrated pest-management systems to reduce pesticide use, to optimize water and nutrient use within the operation, and encourage recirculation. The proposed project seeks […]

We are a start-up on a mission to redesign how we work and how we hire. We have built an innovative platform that allows clients / employers and professionals to connect. While the start-up was born in the pre-COVID-19 world, it aligns perfectly with the current and post-COVID-19 world. We are disrupting an established industry […]

The intern will be responsible for aggregating all the data which resides in various databases and programs to create a single unified tool that can analyze and compare our various journals and be able to provide an assessment of their overall health. The intern will have to collaborate with a number of individuals across the […]

Research shows that keeping a gratitude journal can enhance well-being. The Smile Epidemic Inc. is a start-up company that has developed a digital, photographic social media update on the traditional (private, written) gratitude journal. The Smile Epidemic invites people to express in a few words what made them happy or grateful that day, and to […]

The objectives of this project are to assist in the development, testing and implementation of a digital park visitation platform and associated in-park experiences designed for people that are new to nature. The key question is how to welcome more people into nature without undermining its ecology and creating health and safety risks. A sub-question […]
