La voix des jeunes dans le grand dialogue régional pour la transition sociale et écologique

Le projet vise à trouver les meilleures pratiques permettant d’inclure la voix des jeunes au sein d’un projet citoyen sur les enjeux de transition socio-écologique : le Grand dialogue régional pour la transition au Saguenay Lac-Saint-Jean. Les jeunes seront directement impactés par les grands bouleversements en cours : changements climatiques, chute de la biodiversité, hausse des inégalités. Dans cette optique, nous considérons les jeunes comme des citoyens à part entière dont les aspirations méritent d’être incluses et prises en compte dans un processus de concertation. Cette volonté d’inclusion de la voix des jeunes implique un changement d’approche en matière de participation publique, pour en faire de véritables acteurs impliqués dans les décisions. La recherche inclut une revue de littérature sur les meilleures pratiques pour l’inclusion des jeunes dans le débat public, ainsi que le développement et l’expérimentation, en collaboration avec le partenaire, de trousses d’animation pour des publics jeunesse.

Autobot: Data-driven metadata tagging of building automation systems

As Building Automation Systems (BAS) are becoming a standard in commercial buildings, and additional 3rd party applications can help buildings owners gain insights from their BAS, structured metadata management becomes the key to success. However, as converting traditional sensors naming convention to structured tagging systems is an expensive and time-consuming process, this project aims at automating the process. By leveraging modern Machine Learning techniques combined with Rule-based systems, Autobot is developed to automate the process. This project builds on previous research at Brainbox AI (Mishra, et al., 2020) to apply the software to additional building types and improve the process’s overall performance.

Canadian Goodwill Industries

I intend to create a detailed plan for Canadian Goodwill to assist them in conquering the problem regarding the overload of staff unable to find further employment due to the social barriers in place. Furthermore, I plan to connect with several organizations in the process to gain knowledge of their structures and potentially establish a connection that may help the process of granting individuals better employment. This guide will aid them in connecting with various organizations and for receiving funding through a variety of resources in the future. The guide will consist of a detailed training program with the necessary skills to be acquired by the individuals, a progressive program that will layout the advancements of the trainees through the program and establish connections that will offer employment trainees once they have completed the necessary steps at Canadian Goodwill.

Improvements in the Fock reactivity of Kraft-based dissolving pulp

AV Nackawic is part of a new and innovative group of companies (AV Group), which are focused on producing high-quality dissolving pulp and other products. For dissolving pulp, the pulp reactivity in the subsequent converting process is an important parameter, which ultimately determines the quality of the product. This internship will investigate the solutions to increase the pulp reactivity in order to improve the quality and market demand of the kraft-based dissolving pulp. The intern will use the UNB facility in carrying out the detailed experiments, and then do the initial engineering/ process development to carry out the mill trial to improve the reactivity of dissolving pulp. It will provide a strong training opportunity to the intern.

Novel Corrective and Training Procedures for Neural Network Compliance

In AI safety, compliance ensures that a model adheres to operational specifications at runtime to avoid adverse events for the end user. This proposal looks at obtaining model compliance in two ways: (i) applying corrective measures to a non-compliant Machine Learning (ML) model and (ii) ensuring compliance throughout the model’s training process. We aim to achieve the first via removal of gradient information related to features involved in biasing the model. For the second, we look at incorporating constraints from the world of satisfiability to enforce desired specifications into gradient based methods used for training. Real-world applications for both approaches include bias and robustness compliance in the world of finance via, for example, ensuring that loans are handed out to clients in fair ways.

Development of a Quantitative and Inexpensive Opioid Detector for Clinical Use

The opioid epidemic is a serious health crisis and opioid treatment strategies are at the forefront of efforts to tackle this crisis. Replacement therapy is the current approach taken using medications such as methadone. To be more effective, the dosage needs to be tailored to individual tolerance which requires a point-of-care type analytical measurement of the patient’s existing opioid level. This proposal takes an existing proof-of-concept opioid detection device and adapts it for use in the clinical setting to address this challenge, quickly determining the patient’s tolerance level in a day compared to the current standard of care that would take a few weeks.

Reconnaissance automatique des charges énergétiques et des événements pour une solution de domotique résidentielle.

L’intérêt pour la gestion intelligente de la consommation d’énergie résidentielle prend une force importante grâce à l’avancement de la domotique et la dissémination des technologies connectées facilitant la configuration et la gestion à distance des appareils. Ces progrès sont aussi supportés par le développement des nouvelles techniques de l’intelligence artificielle, la miniaturisation des systèmes embarqués et la réduction des coûts d’acquisition et d’installation des capteurs intelligents. La centralisation des tableaux de bord à travers des applications mobiles et les écrans intelligents aboutit au concept de « maison intelligente » permettant au client résidentiel de maximiser son confort et de réduire ses factures d’électricité. Le public s’attend à ce que les nouvelles technologies de gestion énergétique soient le moins invasives possible, à ce que les économies assurent une rentabilité rapide des investissements et à une facilité accrue de l’interaction utilisateur-machine à travers des interfaces conviviales. Ce projet de recherche s’inscrit dans la mouvance actuelle où l’économie de l’énergie est un facteur déterminant de la transition énergétique. À cet égard, le rapport détaillé sur la consommation des différents usages résidentiels est une information importante pour des utilisateurs de plus en plus curieux et engagés.

The Flint Venture Catalyst – Maria Tofowomo

Many of the business that are clients of The Flint have been impacted by Covid. Our role over the past few months has been to advise them on how to shift their marketing and operations in order to continue to be viable during and post Covid. If Flint had not been nimble and accommodating in our scopes of work, and relationships with our clients, it’s likely that they would have ceased to exist (and thus The Flint would be significantly impacted as well). As such, the student we retain through the Catalyst program will be focused on assisting with the strategic re-focusing of a number of our clients.

Ultra-low-power sensor interfaces for next generation IoE

This research project aims to improve the quality of life and facilitate the early detection of some health conditions by enabling wearabale devices that have a very small form factor, are highly reliable and provide continuous health tracking and monitoring. The ultra-low-energy consumption of the electronics designed in this project extends the battery longevity of such wearables which in turn translates into less frequent charging and/or battery replacement, and makes the use of the wearables much more convenient; specially under circumstances where access to a new battery or charger is restricted or not possible. The partner organization will benefit from the experience in the field of ultra-low-power analog, mixed-signal and sensor interfaces along with highly talented pool of graduate students involved in this research to realize the project milestones in a timely manner and with utmost quality and efficacy
