Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Continuous action, time, and space (CATS) reinforcement learning

The ability of an autonomous system to usefully adapt and learn online is a desirable goal for any autonomous vehicle project, especially in terms of the AI-enabled autonomous transportation of goods in obstacle-rich environments. Furthermore, any vision for autonomy project needs decision-making systems to make use of that visual information. This Project will research, develop and demonstrate autonomous vehicle-based algorithms and decision-making systems that could be deployed on autonomous vehicles such as unmanned aircraft systems. While there are autonomous decision-making and reinforcement learning algorithms under active development in the research community, there are two reasons for
undertaking this specific Project. First, no one has ever applied the new Legendre Memory Units (LMU) temporal representation system to this task, and the LMU has been shown to produce orders of magnitude of improvement over traditional
methods. Second, the computation system resulting from these methods could likely
be efficiently implemented in modern hardware, including GPUs, TPUs, and
neuromorphic computation.
