Machine learning has been applied in various fields and shown promising results in recent years. Researchers have found that tuning machine learning models in a proper way can vastly boost the model performance with respect to the specific AI task. However, tuning machine learning models at scale, especially finding the right hyperparameter values, can be […]

Global service providers in highly regulated financial sectors must accommodate an ever-changing, sometimes competing, landscape of regulatory concerns. This project seeks to determine a reasonable path forward in technology design and adoption to accommodate current and anticipated infrastructure changes. Moreover, bridging the service layer across multiple, distinct distributed systems of varying complexity will pose new […]

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on Canada’s economy. More specifically, it has: 1) exposed deficiencies in supply chains, causing manufacturers to pivot production in order to improve the supply of essential goods (e.g. medical devices, personal protective equipment, sanitizer), 2) demonstrated the important role that manufacturing plays in a well-functioning economy and […]

While many people who acquire COVID-19 experience only minor symptoms or are completely asymptomatic, others (~20% of patients) experience a severe form of the disease associated with a phenomenon called a cytokine storm, an undesirable immune response that ultimately results in the deposition of fibrotic tissue in the lungs that causes the breathing difficulties and […]

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is an anti-inflammatory drug that is widely prescribed for a range of auto-immune disorders such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. An unwanted side effect of long-term use of HCQ is vision loss by retinal toxicity. If detected early, it could lead to early intervention to prevent vision loss and improve the quality of […]

Oncology specialists are few in numbers and cannot be present within every hospital or clinic providing their guidance and support. There are institutions in this world with oncology experts that can provide the best possible care and the knowledge of these experts is stored in medical case files within the hospital. With the power of […]

Pollination services provided by honey bees is imperative to crop production in Canada. Unfortunately, honey bee health is compromised by pests and diseases leading to the decline and/or death of hives and decreased pollination. In this project we will implement the usage of a special inspenser to bring in materials that will protect the honey […]

This study will systematically review the role of the private sector in the management of NCDs (including cardiovascular disease, cancer, etc.) in developing countries, and its implications to Kyrgyzstan. We will try to understand how low- and middle-income countries with similar GDP per capita, disease burden, and health system needs have harnessed the capacity of […]

An internet forum is an online site for people to have conversations. It contains threads to hold discussions between users. Recommending appropriate threads to forum users is one of the main goals of an internet forum. To provide positive user experience, cross-domain thread recommendation is required, which can be benefited greatly from the help of […]

Users on the League platform have access to a number of health and wellness benefits including massage, physiotherapy, personal trainers and a variety of other programs; however, not all of them fully utilize them to maximize their wellbeing. Utilizing the health and program utilization data we want to develop robust personalized predictions that will suggest […]

COVID-19 pandemic has brought the world to standstill with more than 3 million people infected and more than 200 000 mortality so far. It has literally brought the health care systems in many countries to the breaking point, if not beyond. The economic consequences have been devastating with millions of people out of work. We […]

Environmental pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption has prompted significant worldwide activity to find effective renewable/regenerative energy solutions. Solutions where power is produced and waste heat from the exhaust is recuperated have great potential, especially for distributed (decentralized) power generation (DPG). The latter approach reduces energy losses that are caused by the […]
