Brain-Inspired Artificial Intelligence for Sound-Aware Robotics

The lack of robust sound awareness in robotics and autonomous machines is a crucial limiting factor in their usefulness and adoption. Taking a biologically inspired approach offers novel computational mechanisms to solve a variety of challenges in this field. The primary objective of this proposal is to finalize and evaluate a Bayesian auditory artificial intelligence (AI) for robotics and collect data for a subsequent publication. This expands on work done in a successful Canada-Italy Innovation award in 2017. A second but equally important objective is to lay the foundations of a next generation auditory AI that will leverage new techniques in deep-learning neural networks. Preliminary theoretical and pilot work is already underway on these neural networks at the U of L, and the proposed visit will enable initial planning about how to implement these networks in the computational architecture of the cognitive robotics platform iCub.

Self-Assembly of Amphiphilic Metal-Organic Polyhedra for Membrane applications

Metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) are discrete molecular capsules formed by coordination of metal ion and organic linkers. They possess a nanoscale cavity which can have potential applications in gas storage, separations, drug delivery or sensing. To enhance their usage for practical purposes, these materials need to be translated into membranes. MOP-polymer composites where MOPs are blended with easily processable and mechanically strong polymers serve as a solution. However, there are shortcomings of this process such as integration and integrity of MOPs in the membrane, which can affect selectivity of gas separations. In this project MOPs with both polar and non-polar linkers would be synthesized which show amphiphile-like self-assembly and would be used for making composites. The amphiphilic MOP aggregates would have better integration with the amphiphilic polymers which are commonly used for preparing the membranes. These MOP aggregates, being bigger in size, shall not be easily entombed by the polymer and should result in membranes with high MOP loading and selectivity.

Iterative learning control to cancel beam loading effect in particle accelerators

Iterative learning control (ILC) is an approach to improve the performance of a system that carries out the same operation repeatedly. It stores error and control output throughout every iteration, and incorporates the stored information into generating new control output. In a cavity resonator, a standing wave electromagnetic field is formed to accelerate charged particles passing through the cavity. In the process of the acceleration, energy is transferred from the accelerating field to the beam. As a result, the cavity voltage drops. This effect is referred to as beam loading. A feedback controller is responsible to maintain constant amplitude and phase for the cavity field oscillation. However, for certain applications, a feedback controller is not fast enough. In this project, we aim to use ILC to reduce beam loading effect in cavity resonators. Since beam loading is a repeating disturbance, the error is repetitive as well, and the controller can use a non-causal learning function to pre-emptively counteract beam loading effect.

Machine learning applied to drilling in open pit mines

The project involves identifying changes in mineralization during the drilling of the blast holes. During drilling, an experienced driller is able, to a certain extent, to detect signals that indicate that a zone change is occurring: vibration in the cabin, rotation rate, etc. The aim of this research project is to use data collected by the various sensors installed on the drill (specific energy, rotation rate, penetration rate, horizontal and vertical vibrations) to determine patterns among these data which would make it possible to identify a zone change and eventuallly automate this process. Machine Learning techniques are proposed to identify these patterns. The detection of these geological changes is particularly important in coal mines to stop drilling just before reaching the coal bed. This is to prevent blasting from fracturing the coal bed.

Détection de la fraude à l’assurance

La fraude à l’assurance est devenue un problème important au Canada et dans de nombreux autres pays. Le partenaire n’est pas satisfait des modèles qu’il utilise pour la détection de la fraude dans ses dossiers de réclamations provenant de divers marchés, dont l’assurance automobile. Il a donc décidé d’entreprendre une collaboration entreprise-université afin d’améliorer sa détection de la fraude. Le financement aidera un étudiant de doctorat à réaliser sa recherche en entreprise. Cette collaboration permettra à l’assureur d’améliorer la performance de ses modèles et au stagiaire d’avoir accès à des professionnels et des données de haute qualité pour développer sa recherche doctorale. Le but du stage est de vérifier comment l’ajout de modèles d’apprentissage machine et d’intelligence artificielle aux modèles traditionnels de gestion de la fraude à l’assurance permettra d’améliorer la performance de la détection de la fraude chez l’assureur.

Ice Hazard Drift Model Study III

Massive drifting icebergs frequently threaten offshore operations on the Grand Banks because of their massive size, and great mechanical strength. These ice hazards move erratically which complicates efforts to modify their trajectory or undertake evasive action. This MITACS project aims to improve security of offshore workers and help protect wildlife and the environment by allowing more accurate prediction of short-term iceberg drift. The funding partner, ASL Environmental Sciences, will benefit through improved capability to provide world-class services to their clients.

P4 SDN testbed integration

The research will consist of exploring a new language as well as a new paradigm shift in the orchestration and analytics involved in operating a Fiber optical infrastructure equipped with IP routers and Computers. These computers will be equipped with programmable devices that will allow further instructions and detailing about the next generation of internet’s emerging services. These services require more automation and more analytics to become more adaptive if not autonomous. We will research how autonomous can these networks get by involving this new programmable language called P4. We will start by exploring point to point services and then we will move on to point to multi point services and explore the programmable autonomy of these new emerging services as well as collect meaningful statistics to properly define their beginning, their stability as well as their end so that the network can become a programmable reusable service, or device

Characterizing the role of probiotics in physiologically relevant ex vivo and in vivo models of infectious colitis

In the intestines of people living with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), the balance of beneficial bacteria is shifted. Instead, the intestine is overloaded with potentially harmful bacteria – a phenomenon known as dysbiosis. This shift in bacterial populations is believed to be among the key contributors to the onset of inflammation observed in IBD patients.
Bioactive bacteria that help to re-establish equilibrium in the intestine are known as probiotics. They work by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria while simultaneously warding off harmful bacteria. Importantly, probiotics may alleviate intestinal injury and inflammation and thereby reduce some symptoms of IBD. However, less is known about the precise ways in which probiotics act on cells lining the intestine, and how this might contribute to improved IBD outcomes. Answering these questions is the underlying goal of the proposed research. TO BE CONT’D

ERGO4ALL: Intégration de l’aspect temporel dans l’évaluation du risque de TMS

Les logiciels actuels de DHM (Digital Human Modeling ou d’ergonomie virtuelle) destinés à la conception de situations de travail et de produits demeurent difficiles à utiliser ce qui en limite grandement l’utilisation par les concepteurs et les ergonomes. Pourtant, l’utilisation plus répandue de DHM permettrait d’en arriver à des environnements de travail plus sécuritaires et minimisant les risques pour la santé des travailleurs. Il apparaît donc utile de concevoir les logiciels de DHM en tenant compte des caractéristiques et exigences (i.e., conception centrée sur l’opérateur humain) de leurs utilisateurs, lesquels sont en grande majorité non ergonomes.
