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.

Explainable AI for Early Stage Deep Learning Development
954790
The ‘black box’ problem in Artificial Intelligence represents one of the greatest business and societal risks of our time. The question of how deep neural networks make their decisions has plagued both academics and enterprises alike. While neural networks behave in ways that reflect the data they are trained against and the human labelers who annotate that data (incorporating selection and human biases along the way), it remains unclear how they reach particular conclusions.
Our team hopes to convert the intangible concepts of explainability into concrete tools that help deep learning designers and developers in the early stages of development.

DarwinAI Data Auditing
938961
The DarwinAI Data Auditing Project aims to develop a new feature to reduce the manual labour and guesswork required when analyzing deep learning model errors that need to be corrected with training data. We are developing a proprietary algorithm to automatically group images by the model’s own interpretation, rather than by simple visual criteria, in order to provide better insights on the root cause of the errors.This project would accelerate a smart way to cluster errors thereby increasing our platform’s marketability.
