Advanced mapping techniques applied to wetland drone base information

Wetlands are habitats for many fishes, aquatic invertebrates, waterfowl, and other wildlife. Wetlands are also important for people’s daily lives. They can renovate freshwater, store flood, and provide fishery resources. However, wetlands are being destroyed and polluted at alarming rates worldwide. This research tries to understand the current wetlands extent and states in mid-Alberta, Canada. We use an emergent Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) and cutting-edge computer techniques to map wetland vegetation species and communities. Results of this research will help the public and policy-makers better know and conserve current wetlands in central Alberta. Fiera Biological Consulting Ltd. will also benefit from this research in enhancing their expertise in wetlands monitoring.

Adaptive User Interfaces for Product Recommender Systems

We are in the process of creating and growing a team of researchers, expert in the field of machine learning and data-mining. Ultimately, our aim is to create solutions to eliminate the need to manually define personalization strategies. We are in the process of signing partnership agreements with retailers capable of collecting large-scale datasets of customer behaviour. Through a data-sharing/consulting partnership we plan to perform research on the design of recommender systems customized for the data-sets available to brick and mortar retailers. These methods can be used in their physical and online loyalty programs as well as in their dynamical promotions/pricing strategies.

Immune modulation with checkpoint inhibitor antibodies targeting GITR or OX40 to improve cancer immune therapy with DepoVaxTM vaccine and metronomic cyclophosphamide

Immunovaccine Inc. is developing immune therapies for cancer using the company’s DepoVaxTM vaccine technology. DepoVax is a patented formulation provides controlled and prolonged exposure of antigens and adjuvants to the immune system, resulting in a strong, specific and sustained immune response. Immunovaccine’s translational research team is focused on improving responses in advanced cancers by combining DepoVax based vaccines with novel immune modulators in order to improve clinical trial design. We have previously demonstrated that metronomic cyclophosphamide in combination with DepoVax vaccination increases CD8+ T cell responses in tumor bearing mice, and results were recapitulated in human clinical studies. In this project, DepoVax will be evaluated in combination with agonist antibodies towards the checkpoint molecules GITR and OX40 which are primarily expressed on T cells and are reported to enhance their activity. We will also evaluate combining DepoVax with a histamine antagonist that has reported to reduce immune suppressive cells induced by tumors. The results of this study will help to identify the best combinatorial treatments Immunovaccine should pursue in clinical testing.

Establishing Physiological Norms for Brain Activity using Portable Electroencephalography

There is much about the brain we still do not understand. But, one fundamental way to understand how the brain works is to know normal range of activity. For example, how does your physician know that you have normal blood pressure? Similarly, why did the medical community choose “120 over 80”? The way we do that is to collect information from as many individuals as possible – thousands upon thousands! When you collect information from many people, scientists are able to paint a very clear picture of how blood pressure (or any variable of interest) varies across many people. Amazingly (and unfortunately) we cannot say the same about brain activity. By using the MUSE device, that you can buy from any electronics retailer, we can begin that process of collecting information about brain activity. Therefore, we will define physiological norms and how you, as an individual, compare to the population average.

Online Risk-Driven Management Framework for Territorial Security in Wireless Sensor and Robot Networks

Small teams of mobile robots provide nowadays the ability to assist wireless sensor networks in many threatening scenarios that unexpectedly arise during their operational lifetime. The perceived risk or vulnerability that the network is exposed to triggers an immediate, corporate action from the robotic agents (actuators). We focus on a sort of robots which are able to carry static sensors and deploy them all over the field. Our goal is to improve an existing risk-driven collaboration framework between stationary sensors and mobile carrier robots by incorporating an online clustering architecture to better visualize the spatial structure of the sensing nodes in the risk feature space. In this way, we can promptly react to the perceived irregularities in the system’s functioning. The proposed framework will be empirically validated in the context of a territorial security application.

La coordination 3D dans le BIM

A l’heure actuelle, le domaine de la construction rencontre de nombreux problèmes tant sur l’augmentation des temps de projet mais aussi des coûts. Le projet vise donc à créer un rapport, une base d’information, mais surtout une aide permettant aux divers métiers et intervenants de la construction, de mieux appréhender la coordination 3D dans le BIM (Building Information Modeling). Dans la construction, chaque intervenant utilise l’outil informatique propre à leur travail, aux différentes tâches à réaliser… C’est pourquoi, pour regrouper toutes les informations propres à chaque métier de la construction, que des logiciels de coordination ont vues le jour. Cependant, il n’y a pas de méthode définie pour la coordination 3D, ce qui exige un effort d’adaptation important de la part des firmes participante avec des résultats souvent mitigés. Il y a donc un besoin pour la définition et la publication d’une méthodologie sous forme d’un guide.

Yogurt consumption in children: characterization and health-related impact

Childhood obesity has increased drastically since the late 1970s and unhealthy eating habits are just one of the causes. Some studies have shown that consuming dairy products such as yogurt helps control body weight in both adults and children. However, factors such as genetics and environment may play a role in this response as children who have an obese parent or live in low-income neighborhoods are more likely to become obese adults. The aim of this research is to look at the relationship between yogurt intake and metabolic health in children and adolescents at risk of obesity (i.e. at least one parent with obesity). This project will also benefit Alliance Santé Québec who will test and implement a new interactive technological platform (Data Lake concept), which allows for analysis of existing or new cohorts, making available new datasets about proximity ecosystems and eventually, access to other cohorts. This will allow better identification and characterization of environmental factors associated with dietary factors such as yogurt consumption and extension of existing cohorts to answer population health-related questions.

Coupling event sampling to ColiMinder® high-frequency monitoring of E. coli for improved microbial risk assessment in source waters (COLIRISK)

Safe drinking water supply is a daily need but it can be seriously threatened by microbial hazards originating from fecal contamination of source water, especially following periods of intense rainfall. In order to assess drinking water intakes (DWIs) vulnerability to fecal pollution and to take cost-effective decisions in case of hazardous events, it is urgent to implement early-warning systems. A recent enzyme-based technology, ColiMinder® enables to measure E. coli in water at high temporal resolution (every 15-30 minutes). In order to implement it for effective microbial risk assessment at DWIs, research first needs to clarify how E. coli signals are representative of the prevalent microbial risk (i.e. of pathogen loads). The present project thus aims at developing a simple and original system that integrates the ColiMinder® with an automated sampling device for event-based sampling and analysis of pathogens and fecal source tracers. This integrated system should prove useful in the implementation of the ColiMinder® at Canadian DWIs with the purpose to improve the assessment of their vulnerability to fecal pollution

Amélioration de la capture des visages pour l’industrie du Jeu Vidéo

Réaliser une animation réaliste d’un visage dans l’industrie du jeu vidéo est un défi technique. Il est extrêmement complexe, y compris pour les meilleurs animateurs 3D, de produire une animation faciale réaliste.
Une manière de résoudre ce problème est de le voir d’un autre angle : pourquoi simuler une chose que l’on peut capturer ? Ce genres de méthodes ont commencés à être utilisé dans l’industrie récemment et ont été acclamés par la fidélité des résultats qu’elles apportent. Mais malgré ces bons résultats, ces méthodes sont loin d’être parfaites et présentent de nombreux problèmes.
En partenariat avec Ubisoft Montréal, mon projet va être d’améliorer ces méthodes et d’en rechercher de nouvelles pour permettre d’obtenir de meilleures animations du visage dans les Jeux Vidéos.

University-to-Work Transition Project

Research on university graduates’ University-to-Work transition (UWT) is sharply polarized between two discourses: the smooth transition narrative and the crisis narrative. Proponents of the smooth transition narrative such as universities are reporting high-rates of student satisfaction, skill transferability as well as early-career earnings consistent with those of 1970s and 1980s’s graduates. At the same, the crisis narrative is pointing at rampant underemployment, a loose School-to-Work transition structure and a blunt lack of high-skilled technical labour. While voices in the middle are calling for an overall more sustained engagement from all stakeholders, it is surprising how little we have actually learned about the transition itself, namely university graduates’ own early experience in a “dynamic and unsettled economic landscape” (BCBC 2016). C2Careers has staked out this middle position and it has issued a call for gaining a clearer picture of how university graduates experience and navigate the first critical months of their school-to-work transition in order to create an informed space where university trained grads can work closely with companies who hire and C2Careers can learn about what businesses find lacking in grads and train them accordingly.

Algorithmes de recommandations pour rencontres d’échanges de connaissances chez E-180

Le projet comporte deux phases. Une première phase consiste à mettre à niveau l’algorithme actuel et à implanter une approche développée par Spaeth et Desmarais (2013). Cette approche combine les techniques dites collaboratives et par contenu. Elle améliore la performance par rapport aux résultats individuels de chaque technique. Une seconde phase consiste à élaborer un nouvel algorithme basé sur les développements récents du côté de l’apprentissage profond avec les réseaux neuronaux. La première phase aura un impact immédiat sur la qualité des recommandations de e-180.com, tandis que la seconde est de nature plus exploratoire et ambitieuse, et vise une contribution scientifique et pratique et à améliorer l’état de l’art.
