Buildings not only offer space for working and living\, they are also capital investments. Their value can be maintained only if they are operated cost-effectively. A constant reliable energy supply is central for economic growth and stability\, as well as social wellbeing. However today’s grids were not designed to handle the growing power requirements or the increasing proportion of fluctuating power generated from renewable sources. Transportation of people and goods is a top priority for metropolitan areas. Population growth\, congestion and the growing demand for mobility all place increasing burdens on transport systems with negative impacts for businesses\, residents and overall quality of life. A Smart City applies state-of-the-art solutions enabled and improved by holistic Integration for the sake of the people\, of the administration\, of the business as well as of the environment. \n6:00 pm-6:30 pm: Opening \n6:30 pm-7:00 pm: Introduction to Smart Cities by Lucia Casacia\, Vice President\, Cities and Infrastructure Projects\, Siemens Canada & Dr. Tom Murad\, Country Lead – Engineering\, Technology & Academic Relations\, Siemens Canada \n7:00 pm-7:20 pm: Transportation Initiatives and Vision of the City of Toronto by Gregg Loanne\, Manager of ITS\, City of Toronto \n7:20 pm-7:40 pm: Preparing for Automated Vehicles at the City of Toronto by Fahad Khan\, Project Lead\, City of Toronto \n7:40 pm-8:00 pm: Focusing on Smart to Move Toronto from Good to Great by Natasha Apollonova\, Associate Vice President\, Policy\, Toronto Board of Trade \n8:00 pm-8:10 pm: Open Panel Discussion on Job Opportunities in Technology Infrastructure and Smart Cities \n8:10 pm-8:20 pm: Q&A \n8:20 pm-8:30 pm: Closing \nBiography:\nLucia Casacia\nAs the Vice President\, Cities and Infrastructure Projects\, Lucia leads Siemens Canada’s strategic focus on cities account management in order to leverage federal\, provincial and municipal government infrastructure investment in cities across Canada.

SUMMARY:Hybrid Biomedical Optics Imaging and Instrumentation
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, February 16th at 12:15 p.m.\, Nima Tabatabaei\, Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Director of Hybrid Biomedical Optics Laboratory at York University\, will be presenting “Hybrid Biomedical Optics Imaging and Instrumentation”. \nDay & Time: Friday\, February 16\, 2018\n12:15 p.m. ‐ 1:15 p.m. \nSpeaker: Nima Tabatabaei\nAssistant Professor\, Department of Mechanical Engineering\nDirector\, Hybrid Biomedical Optics Laboratory\nYork University\, Canada \nLocation: Room: ENG 210\, George Vari Centre for Computing and Engineering\n245 Church Street\nToronto\, Ontario M5B 2K3 \nContact: Saba Sedghizade\, Maryam Davoudpour \nOrganizer: WIE IEEE Toronto\, IEEE Ryerson Student Chapter\, Instrumentation-Measurement/Robotics-Automation\, Magnetics\, and Computer Science Department of Ryerson University \nAbstract: The focus of professor Tabatabaei’s research is on the design and instrumentation of thermal and optical imaging technologies and devices with applications in medical diagnosis and screening. Optics-based medical devices are of particular interest to him due to their intrinsic ability of revealing malignancies in early stages. The early diagnosis of diseases improves the effectiveness of treatments\, promotes prevention rather than medical intervention\, and is probably the only approach for us to win the war on cancer. However\, one of the major challenges in optical imaging of endogenous tissue contrast is the poor specificity due to background signals from healthy tissues. Professor Tabatabaei’s research vision is to overcome this shortcoming by separating excitation and detection channels using Hybrid methods. In this scenario\, crosstalk between the channels\, selectively\, takes place by energy conversion at malignant sites that are sensitive to the excitation thus minimizing (if not eliminating) the signals originating form background health tissues. \nBiography: Nima Tabatabaei is an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the director of Hybrid Biomedical Optics laboratory (http://www.HBOLab.ca) at the York University (Canada). He received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Materials Science and Engineering and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering (University of Toronto; 2012) before carrying out research at the Harvard Medical School and Wellman Center for Photomedicine as postdoctoral fellow. His research interests are design and development of hybrid biomedical optics imaging technologies for applications in early disease diagnosis and screening.

Machine learning algorithms and robotics systems have been developed and used for years\, but never before has the discussion about ethics of the technologies been getting so much attention. What is all this AI ethics and roboethics discussion all about? What ethical risks do you and your organization end up (often unknowingly) taking on as you increasingly implement machine autonomy into your organization? Most importantly\, what can you do about them? Small and large companies today are struggling to innovate their operations with data-driven\, predictive algorithms without the full understanding of what undesirable effects these algorithms can have on their organization and our society. As applications of robotics extend to areas outside of industrial environments\, roboticists are increasingly noticing the importance for designers and policy makers to address the question of “What should a robot do?” It turns out that discussions about ethics becomes quite sexy when mixed with autonomous\, intelligent technologies. \nDr. Moon will share relevant studies and examples (from right here in Canada!) to paint a broad landscape of the fascinating world of AI ethics and roboethics. \nNote: Dr. Moon will also give an academic talk at the University of Toronto Institute for Robotics and Mechatronics on Nov 7 at 5pm where she will present technical and non-technical approaches to integrating ethics in the design of technological systems. \nAgenda:\n6:30 pm – Networking\n7:00 pm – Speaker and Q & A\n8:00 pm – Networking\n9:00 pm – Close \nBiography: Dr. AJung Moon is a roboticist on a mission to make ethics a core part of AI and robotics technologies. She is a founder and CEO of Generation R\, the first consulting firm in the world to deliver ethics assessment of predictive algorithms for today’s businesses. She is also a founder and Director of the Open Roboethics Institute (ORI)\, an international think tank that has been spearheading open discussions on roboethics topics since 2012. She holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering (Vanier Scholar) from the University of British Columbia with a specialization in the design of human-inspired interactive robot behaviours and roboethics. \nShe advises numerous national and international organizations on ethical and societal implications of AI and robotics\, including the OECD\, ICRC\, and the United Nations Convention on Conventional Weapons.

SUMMARY:A framework for general purpose digital pathology image analysis\, using machine learning methods to identify cancer subsets and immunotherapy biomarkers
DESCRIPTION:Monday July 17\, 2017 at 4:00 p.m. Dr. Trevor McKee\, STTARR Innovation Research Centre for Cancer Research\, will be presenting “A framework for general purpose digital pathology image analysis\, using machine learning methods to identify cancer subsets and immunotherapy biomarkers”. \nDay & Time: Monday July 17\, 2017\n4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. \nSpeaker: Dr. Trevor McKee\nSTTARR – Innovation Research Centre for Cancer Research\nToronto\, Ontario\, Canada \nLocation: Room ENG101\nGeorge Vari Engineering Building (intersection of Church & Gould)\nRyerson University\n245 Church St\, Toronto\, M5B 1Z4 \nContact: Alireza Sadeghian\, Alex Dela Cruz \nOrganizers: Signals & Computational Intelligence Chapter \nAbstract: Histological staining\, interpreted by a pathologist\, has remained the gold standard for cancer diagnosis and staging for over 100 years. There is a growing need for better – and more personalized – cancer treatments\, to provide oncologists with the tools they need to best treat their patients. The advent of “molecular medicine”\, or targeted therapeutic strategies that rely on knowledge of particular mutations in a cancer in order to tailor treatment\, has improved cancer therapy for many patients. This has led to the use of companion diagnostics\, in which tumor biopsies are stained for a specific marker or set of markers\, using immunohistochemical approaches. The information obtained from the degree of staining or spatial arrangement of stained cells within the tumor helps to identify tumor molecular subclasses that may benefit from such tailored therapeutic approaches. \nThe increase in the number of slides being stained for specific markers and used in diagnosis\, along with the increased need for quantitative assessment of the degree of staining\, number of cells\, or spatial arrangement of cells within the tumor\, has increased the volume and type of work that pathologists encounter in their diagnostic workflow. Our team works on the development of tools for quantitative digital pathology analysis that can benefit pathologists\, by building and validating semi-automated algorithms for cellular quantification and intensity scoring of stained slides. We use machine learning methods to learn features that distinguish different morphological regions from pathologist annotations. These are then fed into a tissue segmentation and classification framework to break the tissue down into its components\, either on the individual cell level\, or the glandular level. Staining intensity is quantified following colour deconvolution of the individual stain components\, and reporting metrics are designed\, in close collaboration with pathologists and biological scientists\, to identify the appropriate outputs for comparing between treatment groups or different cancer types. \nThe use of multiplexed digital pathology stains allows us to build a generalized analytical framework to perform “tissue cytometry”. This new technology can extract quantitative image-derived features in a reproducible and robust fashion\, providing clinicians and biological scientists with tools to measure previously inaccessible phenomena\, like measuring the hypoxic gradient directly within tumor sections\, or comparing glucose uptake to lactic acid production in the same tumor sample. This approach establish the foundation for a bridge between traditional morphometric assessment of tumor biopsies\, and the detailed spatially resolved chemical and molecular content maps of each tumor\, providing an invaluable toolkit for the discovery of cancer molecular subtypes\, and development of therapeutic interventions. \nBiography: Dr. Trevor McKee received his Ph.D. in Biological Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2005\, in the laboratory of Dr. Rakesh Jain of Harvard Medical School. During his graduate work\, he pioneered the application of new imaging and analysis technologies to studying drug transport within tumors\, and on developing methods to improve drug delivery. He also holds a Bachelors of Science in Chemical Engineering with a Biotechnology minor from the University at Buffalo. He moved to Toronto to continue postdoctoral work at the Ontario Cancer Institute\, applying multi-modality imaging and quantitative image analysis methods to study preclinical cancer models. He has a successful track record of high-impact publications with a number of clinical and basic science collaborators\, and has also collaborated with pharmaceutical companies on imaging-based preclinical testing of new compounds. He is currently Image Analysis Core Manager of the STTARR Innovation Centre\, and manages a team of analysts to develop new algorithms for machine-learning powered image segmentation and quantification across a number of disease sites. His research interests lie in studying the tumor microenvironment\, drug and oxygen delivery\, and the development of tools for “tissue cytometry” – deriving complex biological and spatial relationships from tissue sections via computational image analysis methods.

SUMMARY:Large-Scale Analytics and Machine Learning for Biomedical Data Types
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday June 28\, 2017 at 5:00 p.m. Dr. Shiva Amiri\, CEO of BioSymetrics Inc\, will be presenting “Large-Scale Analytics and Machine Learning for Biomedical Data Types”. \nDay & Time: Wednesday June 28\, 2017\n5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. \nSpeaker: Dr. Shiva Amiri\nCEO of BioSymetrics Inc\nToronto\, Ontario\, Canada \nLocation: Room ENG288\nDepartment of Computer Science\nRyerson University\n245 Church St\, Toronto\, M5B 1Z4 \nContact: Alireza Sadeghian\, Alex Dela Cruz \nOrganizers: Signals & Computational Intelligence Chapter\, WIE \nAbstract: The scale of data being generated in medicine and research can easily overwhelm typical analytic capabilities. This is particularly true with MRI/fMRI scanning\, genomics data\, streaming/wearables data in addition to other clinical data types\, especially if in combination. \nChallenges include 1) large file sizes often in heterogeneous formats 2) currently no standard Protocol exists for extraction of standardized characteristics\, and 3) traditional methods for group-wise comparison can often result in spurious findings. \nThe talk will address these challenges by discussing customized processing pipelines built for multiple data types in biomedicine\, which enable effective machine learning and other types of analytics on these datasets. This approach leverages the rapid model building capabilities of our real-time machine learning software to iterate through normalization parameters for each data type and disease class. In addition\, this platform allows easy integration between the various medical data types (genome sequence\, phenotypic\, and metabolic data) allowing generation of more comprehensive disease classification models. \nThe ability to standardize and pre-process multiple types of biomedical data for machine learning\, no matter the source and type\, and effectively combine it with other data types is a powerful capability and holds promise for the future of diagnostics and precision medicine. \nBiography: Shiva Amiri is the CEO of BioSymetrics Inc. where they are developing a unique real-time machine learning technology for the analysis of massive data in biomedicine. BioSymetrics specializes in providing optimized pipelines for complex data types and effective methods in the analytics of integrated data. Prior to BioSymetrics she was the Chief Product Officer at Real Time Data Solutions Inc.\, she has led the Informatics and Analytics team at the Ontario Brain Institute\, where they developed Brain-CODE\, a large-scale neuroinformatics platform across the province of Ontario. She was previously the head of the British High Commission’s Science and Innovation team in Canada. Shiva completed her Ph.D. in Computational Biochemistry at the University of Oxford and her undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Human Biology at the University of Toronto. Shiva is involved with several organisations including Let’s Talk Science and Shabeh Jomeh International.
