North Star
Research Areas
We focus on a set of challenging North Star research problems: Asynchronous Temporal Models, Non-Cooperative Learning in Competing Markets, and Machine Intelligence beyond Predictive ML.
Academic Partnerships
Our partnerships enable us to benefit from the latest in academia and transform that knowledge into real-world impact.
Let’s SOLVE it
New and diverse perspectives, awareness of challenges specific to local communities, and commitment to making a difference are needed today more than ever. Let’s SOLVE it is an RBC Borealis mentorship program for undergraduate students on a mission to solve real problem in their communities using AI. Let’s SOLVE it together.
Open Source Tools
AdverTorch
This toolbox provides machine learning practitioners with the ability to generate private and synthetic data samples from real world data. It currently implements 5 state of the art generative models that can generate differentially private synthetic data.
GitHubLiteTracer
LiteTracer acts as a drop-in replacement for argparse, and it can generate unique identifiers for experiments in addition to what argparse already does. Along with a reverse lookup tool, LiteTracer can trace-back the state of a project that generated any result tagged by the identifier.
GitHubPrivate Synthetic Data Generation
This toolbox provides machine learning practitioners with the ability to generate private and synthetic data samples from real world data.It currently implements 5 state of the art generative models that can generate differentially private synthetic data.
