AIDOX – Document Verification System

The existing document understanding systems use machine learning methods, natural language understanding and text analysis, to validate structured trade contracts for language and economic term correctness. The system is now being expanded to allow general document understanding across a wide variety of financial documents, beginning with a focus on customer provided reference material. The proposed solution will extract the key data elements from the documents and validate this data against the internal source of record. This provides several new challenges in document classification, visual document understanding and entity extraction. For structured documents a template-based solution is to be employed to extract key elements. For semi/un-structured documents, a multi modal framework is used incorporating text, layout and image information to extract key elements. Current state of the art solutions (BERT, LayoutLM) still fall short of human abilities, however by properly constraining our problem space we strive to achieve better results.

Studying the Effect of a Thermal Storage in a Combined Building Integrated PV/T and ASHP systems

Combining Building Integrated Photovoltaic / Thermal (BIPV/T) system and Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) with a thermal storage potentially can increase the efficiency of the heat pump and therefore reduce cost of heating and cooling for the building. In addition, this system potentially can reduce the GHG emission.
A hollow core concrete floor can be used as a heat storage. Excess heat during the day can be stored in the concrete and be used during the night when the heating demand of the building is higher. This thermal energy can be used to increase the temperature of the inlet to the ASHP and as a result increase the efficiency of the heat pump.

Lenmark Industries LTD-Digital Marketing Assistant-Ashley

Founders Leonard and Mark Buhler have started Lenmark in 2016, with buying and selling equipment auctions, but they have quickly realized that there must be a better way for people and businesses to transact equipment and assets. This is how the idea was born and the development moved on from here, towards growing a business focused on e-commerce and digitalization. Lenmark understands there has been a shift in technology. We took the hard work out and have created an automated proprietary software to help us store, manage, and list our products on all of our marketing channels. When it comes to e-commerce, branding becomes an inevitable need. Brand development for online businesses can be very complex, as it has so many different facets. This project is aimed at building a branding process that will stand out and will situate our organization apart from our competitors.

Flywheel Digital-Junior Growth Strategist-John

A technical marketing agency, Flywheel Digital provides data-driven SEO and digital advertising services. We specialize in “feedback loops,” i.e. using data from customers’ behaviours online to inform our strategy. To illustrate, we would often launch several test campaigns and then double down on the “winner” based on the highest number of conversions. In the last year, numerous changes in data collection and privacy policies have changed the nature of the data we can access, which in turn reflects our need to change strategies. More often than not, we can no longer determine precisely how many conversions our campaigns drive. This has led to lower ad spending and less business across the industry. This represents a challenge and an opportunity to differentiate ourselves. This project will allow the intern to conduct research on improving digital advertising feedback loops and make a presentation recommending changes to data practices to Flywheel leadership. The Digital Junior Growth Strategist will experiment with applying the recommended changes in data practices in a controlled, friendly “test” client environment. Once the recommended changes are validated, the intern will work with the Flywheel team to roll them out across all Flywheel clients.
