TAI1: Speech to Text Processing Using NLP
This project converts speech to text for Singlish and English.The apprentice is required to experiment and develop a module or a pipeline of modules that will take speech as an input and return the transcript for the speech.
TAI2: Contextual Data Extraction Using CV and NLP
Identifying and extracting the inherent context of the document is a significant step in automatic information extractions tasks. The objective of this project is to develop different modules,such as de-noising, de-skewing, and to enhance the image quality of a scanned image. This scanned image will be processed using OCR to extract relevant information using NLP.
POR1: Dynamic Cargo Pricing Through Machine Learning
90% of the world trade travels via maritime, at least once in its lifetime. Portcast wants to apply Machine Learning to the extensive datasets from the maritime industry that it captures and convert it into actionable alpha intelligence. The project scope is to transform the raw datasets (from economic indices, geospatial data, to news/sentiment information) into insights and patterns that would be interesting not just for the logistics industry, but beyond that to finance and insurance companies.
KON1: Predictive Analytics Using Machine Learning for Businesses
The purpose of the project is to build a fast and reliable time-series forecasting pipeline for sales data. This project will give the apprentice an opportunity to work on an essential financial dataset, and evaluate internal and external factors affecting sales. This project will require the apprentice to assess various forecasting engines to identify the right model based on the data for our customers. The main aim of the product will be to provide our customers the most accurate forecast with actionable insights.
KON2: Information Extraction Using Natural Language Processing
We are developing an automated system which requires zero configuration or any upfront annotation using the latest developments in the fields of CV and NLP for information extraction. We are building a next generation human interaction system which will be as natural as asking questions to an in-house analyst who knows all the answers. We are doing this by using state-of-the-art DeepLearning research in NLP to understand users’ intention and entity from the natural language to give the most appropriate answer.
ITX1: Information Extraction In the Legal Domain
At INTELLLEX, we handle millions of legal documents, and we want to build an automated end-to-end system to extract useful information from the legal documents.For each document, we need to identify the areas of law being discussed and legal keywords being used.
The apprentice will be involved in the development of novel ways to tackle search, data extraction, and the building of a large and ever-changing knowledge graph. He/she will participate in the creation of sophisticated pipelines handling everything from data exploration, pre-processing, running advanced Machine Learning models, and incorporating user feedback in the training loop while running in production.
AFF1: Social Media Inference Through Deep Learning
At Affable, we profile millions of users every day and use Machine Learning to infer things such as their interests, age, and location. We use a host of signals to make such inferences, including but not limited to their profile pictures, posts, stories, and captions.
This project involves conceptualising, training and deploying Machine Learning models that can infer even more characteristics about social media users. Some of the traits we want to extract further are psychographics, education level, job function, and income level.
The main challenges of this project are two-fold: volume and speed. We are tracking over 1.5 billion social media posts and 300 million social media users. Machine Learning at this scale is challenging, time-consuming but also very rewarding. The apprentice will get first-hand experience in building models that are not only accurate but also fast and production-grade (some of our models run inference on over 20 million images per day).
DAT1: Machine Learning for Personal Identification Data Linking
In May 2018, the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect. It is essential for all businesses, and the Dathena Compliance is created to help companies to be compliant. The highest priority for the data protection solution is to provide sensitive data extraction, detection, and structurisation. One of the challenges is to link person names and other Personal Identification Information (PII) like their address, email, and card number.
We aim to leverage state-of-the-art methods to find the most weighted pairs of PIIs linked to the person. Unstructured text data is used in this task for information retrieval and matching. The main idea of the approach is to evaluate three degree-based measures to find the most suitable PII node for the target name mentions. Experimental results on domain-dependent datasets show that the graph-based method performs comparably with state-of-the-art techniques.
DAT2: Unsupervised Documents Classification for Asian Languages
One of the main tasks of the Dathena99 product is the classification of the huge amounts of unstructured financial data into business categories and different levels of confidentiality.
The main challenge faced is the lack of labelled data. Because of this, the first step of the Machine Learning pipeline is applying unsupervised techniques for the documents. This step could be replaced by automatic cluster labelling by using keywords or relevant concepts to the group of the documents.The most suitable label should not only explain the central theme of a particular cluster but also provide a means to differentiate it from other clusters in an efficient way.
The main challenge of this project is scaling the English based approach in other Asian languages such as Chinese, Korean, Thai, Japanese. We are proposing to use Apache Spark for distributing computations, Scala as the primary programming language, and HBase as a storage database.
QUO1: How to Help a Machine to Ask Good Technical Questions with NLP
We build a composition of models that extract relevant context and intelligence from code and metadata, and then present it to the user in different forms of technical documentation. Technical documentation in the form of questions and answers on platforms like Stack Overflow has become an essential body of knowledge for sharing the intelligence and solving developers' technical problems.
However, it takes a significant amount of effort for a developer to query, digest and review relevant information returned from search engines.Besides, questions and answers could lose their relevance with time, as new versions of technologies make such information obsolete.
Our solution captures the functionality of code while it is being produced and pushed into production. In this project, the apprentice will helpwith translating source codes to natural language in the best possible way.
The apprentice will own a Deep Learning project from beginning to end. He/she will be responsible for defining an implementation strategy after the literature review, implementing the strategy in consultation with medical consultants and assisting in the deployment and validation of the solution.
MUS1: Improve Learning Speed of Music Tagging and Categorisation
At Musiio, we recognise that an accurately tagged database has a multitude of benefits. Besides improving the catalogue’s recall accuracy and user experience as a whole, it supercharges search, navigation and curation for any user. Manually tagging music is repetitive, time-consuming and not without safeguards against listener bias or fatigue. This project focuses on the optimisation of data used for model training, as well as the hyperparameters for our model-training workflow. Achieving excellent performance is critical to deliver cost-effective products.
MUS2: Source Separation for Music Tracks using Machine Learning
Source separation is the ability to take a combined audio waveform and splitting it up into its components. Being able to do this while maintaining excellent audio quality is very difficult.
INT1: Automation of Video Interview using NLP and CV
At Interviewer.AI, we focus on building the penultimate step to hire great talent. Project Phantom is designed to identify key soft skills required for a job based on scientifically-provenand structured interview techniques. This project will use video interview data with labelled models to identify critical soft skills needed for essential customer-facing jobs in Singapore. These are usually non-technical jobs that require traits like interpersonal communication/ learning ability/adaptability and are hard to assess from a CV/ Resume. Once we can evaluate these skills, we can support a wide range of roles for hiring.
SOY1: AI Recommenderfor Fashion Content
Our Machine Learning tech stack primarily uses Python. We use Pytorch and Tensorflow for image processing and recommender systems. We use techniques such as sequence modelling for click-through prediction, and transformer models for text processing. We also use the classic python stack of SciKit Learn, Pandas, and Numpy. AirFlow is used as our distributed scheduler, as well as AWS Kinesis and Lambda for real time processing.
TEL1: Video Analytics for Sports Broadcast using ML and CV
The ability to quickly repeat and slow down sport’s finest and most controversial moments is a paramount feature in every sports broadcast. Although multiple technologies offer the hardware and the systems in instant replay for clipping, cutting, and editing, there is still a need for many experienced operators to do those tasks in a very fast pace manually. Thousands of clips of different lengths are created during a live match. Untagged or minimally tagged piles of clips can quickly become a logistical nightmare when it comes to retrieving the right content.
An ensemble of Deep Learning architectures and advanced Computer Vision techniques are used in this project to accurately recognise players, objects, actions, and events in every clip created during a sports broadcast. The resulting smart engine enables more efficient discovery of outstanding or even non-compliant player actions beyond human-level visual abilities.

We can estimate the revenue that each cell and site contribute based on each subscriber's ARPU and usage, which then optimises capex allocation using subscriber-specific data and mobility intelligence.
The current solution is implemented using Spark-Scala but is limited in scalability due to the large data size. One goal for this project is to leverage hybrid MPI & GPUs to improve scalability. The other goal is to investigate using a hybrid Graph Deep Learning (GDL) approach.
DAS2: Population Segmentation and Intent Mapping
Digital Out-of-Home (OOH) advertising is becoming more popular. However, the current challenge is that available data is static and unable to show finer Spatio-temporal details. We are working on algorithms to crunch mobile network data into dynamic, in-depth insights, based on actual movements of millions of users, using information such as demographic information, time of day and trip frequency.
This project blends various datasets to define granular segmentation of a population beyond high-level demographics. The apprentice will then build on top of the stack functions to predict intent segments of mobility patterns across geo-locations at various times of the day. This will help media advertisers to plan and develop insight-driven campaigns with access to dynamic human mobility data. Another goal is to leverage a hybrid MPI & GPU approach to handle the large dataset.

SPE1: Quantum Communications Modelling
One of the immediate applications of quantum networks is the secure distribution of quantum bits to generate secret encryption keys at distant locations. The underlying quantum processes, namely the generation and detection of single photons and entangled photon-pairs are in principle well-understood. Sophisticated algorithms exist (and are routinely used at SpeQtral) that analyse the quantum correlations and distil a secret key. However, in space-to-ground quantum networks, rapid clock drifts and extremely lossy transmission channels add challenges to the well-established protocols.
SPE2: Quantum Entanglement Source R&D
Quantum networks rely on transmission of quantum information similar to how the internet is built on the transfer of classical data. In quantum networks this is realised through shared entanglement between two locations. Entanglement must first be generated and then distributed, for example through transmission of entangled light particles. A significant challenge in creating a global quantum network is overcoming losses in optical transmission media. An elegant solution is using satellites to transmit photons through vacuum (low loss) and make use of direct line of sight from orbital altitudes to distribute entanglement over thousands of kilometres. SpeQtral’s technology heritage includes deployment of the world’s first entangled photon source in space outside of China, and we are currently developing a follow-on mission to be launched in the next two years.

IIM1: Outdoor Cleaning Robot Development
This project is to develop an outdoor cleaning robot which can autonomously carry out the cleaning work at an outdoor environment, such as Business Park and residential area. The robot should have the capabilities of environment modelling and understanding, localisation and navigation, as well as collision avoidance and other safety decision making. Currently, we have developed the cleaning robot hardware including mobile platform and various sensor installation, such as 3D lidar, RTK-GPS, sonar and 2D/3D cameras. We have also developed some basic function algorithms such as 3D lidar-based SLAM, global and local path planning. However, to enhance system stability and robustness, we still need to develop more advanced and intelligent algorithms.
We need talented students from the following research areas:
IIM2: Multiple-Pedestrian-Tracking System through CV and ML
An intelligent surveillance system is supposed to identify individuals or objects using reconstructed trajectories and re-identification algorithms, which can be created by observingtrajectories of moving targets. Since these applications are closely related to public safety and human-robot interaction (HMI), it is essential to devise a robust tracking algorithm.
The main objective of this project is to track multiple pedestrians in real-time.The purpose of multi-target tracking is to provide accurate trajectories of moving targets from given observations. The produced trajectories can be used for position prediction or re-identification; then provided into the strategy lever of a robot. This can help to smooth interaction with each other in the crowded environment between human and robot. For instance in autonomous vehicle application, it prevents traffic accidents by predicting movement of pedestrians or vehicles.
POL1: Flight Planning for Pollination Drones using ML

QRI1: Analysis of Human Biopsy Samples with Computer Vision
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world and affects patients and their families for extended periods. Although there has been a significant amount of progress in treatment options, early diagnosis is still the main factor in determining a patient's prognosis. Qritive's mission is to enable doctors to diagnose cancers faster and more accurately, and consequently improve the patient's chances in fighting these diseases.
To achieve this goal, Qritive is leading several joint projects to build these systems. The project collaborators are the two most prominent hospitals in Singapore with a panel of expert clinical researchers and clinicians involved in these projects. Qritiveis in charge of the research and development (both technical and clinical), data collection, and annotation.Clinical validation of the products will be done by the hospitals.
The project is based on recent advances in Deep Learning and Computer Vision technologies. The goal is to reduce the time spent by doctors on the analysis of cancer tissue images and reduce the number of misdiagnoses.
LUC1: Building an AI Model for Interpretation of Cancer Variants
This project involves building anArtificial Intelligence model to power the interpretation of cancer variants in a comprehensive way.
