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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

The people of Canada are transitioning from hunting and gathering in the ocean to cultivating and nurturing the ocean. This research and the outcomes of the academic–industry partnerships it engenders will contribute significantly to the economic, ecological and social sustainability of that transition. There is a particular concern on the part of the growing Aquaculture […]

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 […]

One of ten Canadians will experience trauma at least once in their lives and will develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Many people cannot access PTSD care because of the high cost, long-waiting time, stigma and other barriers etc. Amygdala (deep brain) is important to traumatic emotions and memories. One way to access these memories is […]

Over the past few years, the abilities and performances of deep-learning natural language processing (NLP) have evolved dramatically. A main reason for those improvements is the scaling of the number of parameters in models to tens or hundreds of billions. However, it also becomes impractical to deploy those models in production as the computation cost […]

Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are receiving significant attention in many communities, including academia, industry, and consumer electronics. SOTI is the world’s most trusted provider of mobile and IoT management solutions and its new aerospace division, SOTI Aerospace is focusing on hardware and software systems to support self-navigating situationally aware aerial drones. This project belongs […]
