Le projet s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une thèse qui vise à étudier la faisabilité de l’autoproduction et de l’autoconsommation électrique d’une communauté (un “social solar club”) et évitant au maximum les pics de consommation qui dépassent la capacité de production de la communauté. En France, un système mis en place par le distributeur national (EDF) […]

Les problèmes de santé mentale (anxiété, dépression, etc.) touchent aujourd’hui plus de 650 millions de personnes à travers le monde. Les premiers symptômes apparaissent habituellement entre 14 et 24 ans. Bien que les solutions humaines et technologiques existent, il est difficile de trouver la bonne solution au bon moment. Le projet est de proposer un […]

Document redaction has long been a heavy manual work. When governments and companies need to make documents available either internally or externally, they would need to hire someone with enough professional background to manually cross-out the sensitive information in the documents. The process is both time consuming and expensive. Thanks to the fast advances in […]

In recent years, face recognition algorithms based on deep neural networks have achieved human-level performance when tested on face recognition database. However, when put into real-world application, those algorithms are not robust enough, due to factors such as different lighting conditions, camera distance, and face orientations. In this project, the university team and the partner […]

This research aims to develop a system that generates explainable recommendations. Mobio currently allows merchants to offer items to users, but does not employ recent advances in recommender systems. This project will allow Mobio to build on the expertise of Dr. Chiang in related relational learning problems to create such a system, and provide a […]

The project is about developing a «smart store» system that will allow understanding customer and product behavior. This system will be based on Internet of Things (IoT) technologies allowing any object (product or person) to communicate automatically with its environment. Hence, our system will be used for tracking items and monitor consumer behavior in real […]

Due to rapid development of technology, such as the Internet of Things, collecting data is easier and cheaper than ever before. As a result, municipal governments and urban centres across Canada are being inundated with data—data that have potential to improve public service. Despite this, local governments do not have enough data expertise to extract […]

Over the last recent years, internet usage through mobile devices has grown rapidly and today, majority of the online traffic is coming from mobiles. This means that most of the time, a user uses his/her mobile to view the retailer website, review items or finish a purchase. Accord ingly, reta ilers have come to the […]

There is a great need and benefit to integrate artificial intelligence, robotic simulation, and robotics technology into Canada’s medical industry, hospital environment, and healthcare system. Robotic simulation technology, which has been successfully used for space rover missions such as NASA’s Curiosity rover and the Mars Pathfinder and Sojourner mission, provides the ability to create and […]

Business Intelligence (BI) describes the analysis of commercial data for optimizing business strategies. SimpleBI is focused on changing the way people use BI. They strive to make BI accessible, affordable, and manageable for every size of organization. With decades of experience specializing in enterprise-level BI solutions using industry-leading tool-sets, plus an intimate familiarity with the […]

Workflow management frameworks support the creation of task dependencies and make efficient use of resources while running those workloads. Typically, these tasks can be long running processes like machine learning algorithms or access data from databases. Workflow management consists of mapping tasks to suitable resources and the management of workflow execution in a cloud environment. […]

Our proposed research investigates how K-12 teachers learn and customize digital classroom tools and learning management systems and how they share this information with each other. In particular, we will be working with our partner Microsoft to investigate the use and customization of the recently developed OneNote Class Notebooks software that is increasingly being used […]
