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.

Graph Representation Learning with Limited Labeled Data for Property Prediction in Design

Agreement Number:

964159

Duration: from Dec 21, 2020 to Jan 1, 2023
Description:

Deep learning models are increasingly being adopted and rapidly improved for property prediction in intelligent design, including predicting the functionalities of a novel circuit, foreseeing the working behaviors of a new material, and anticipating the reactions of a fresh compound. State-of-the-art deep techniques leverage two building blocks: deep graph neural networks and supervised signals from large amount of labelled data. Graphs are powerful and versatile data structures to model the relationships among objects, and powered by the graph structure, supervised learning leverages large amount of labelled data to construct efficient graph representation, which then enables the prediction model to make accurate decisions on the properties of a new design. Such state-of-the-art graph neural networks for property prediction, rely heavily on supervised learning with large labelled datasets, which is typically expensive and time-consuming.
This Project will examine the development of fundamental techniques for graph representation learning in the presence of limited labeled data, aiming at accurate property prediction of novel designs. The successful outcome of this Project will be a learning framework that enables the efficient learning of graph representation with limited labelled data. Consequently, with improved graph representation, the properties of a new design can be more accurately and effectively evaluated, resulting in meaningfully speeding up the search for desirable designs.
