The proposed research focuses on optimizing the partner organization’s innovative passive solar greenhouses. We propose a distributed learning and automation system (DLAS) that collects sensing data from multiple greenhouses. The DLS learns an optimal predictive model by aggregating the local models from multiple edge devices. The DLAS keeps improving the model as more sensing data […]

Afin d’augmenter leur compétitivité, les centres de tri misent sur la robotisation des opérations de tri de matières recyclables. Dans ce contexte, notre partenaire CRVI a réalisé un montage physique à échelle réelle d’un robot trieur attaché à un convoyeur de matières recyclables. L’objectif du présent projet est de mettre au point un système de […]

The partner organization, Clear Skies Developments, is currently developing a virtual fitting room app designed to simulate the fit of clothing articles from online retailers to the shape and dimensions of the customer. The partner organization has made much progress on the fit simulation portion of the app. However, a front-end user interface (UI) and […]

The intern will assist with the development of the online analytics simulation game, Cortex. The first objective is to add a new scenario to the game. In partnership with SAS associates and HEC Montreal’s students and teachers, a new scenario will be incorporated into Cortex. The two analytics trending areas of climate change and sports […]

The project is Using SWOT framework, Review and select a business model that best suits Glo3D to enter automotive industry. The candidate along with Sean Toussi(CEO) will be working on reviewing current business models for similar software companies in the industry and how it can be translated to work with our product. The company will […]

The second project also relates to the application of VA to financial systemic risk analytics. The report on the NSF-funded workshop on Next-Generation Community for Financial Cyberinfrastructure for Managing Systemic Risk identifies the need to develop robust simulations and computational models in order to manage systemic risk. Many of these are in the form of […]

Creating an inclusive environment where different innovators can feel welcome and exploit their talents is an ethical imperative no company can ignore. The scientific literature also provides clear evidence that diverse teams are more creative and high-performing, and that the engineering industry has a diversity problem. The general objective of this proposal is to research […]

Augmented reality technology promises seamless and effective remote collaboration for 3D tasks. The performing arts, especially dance, is heavily reliant on precise and creative collaboration in 3D space, but the specific task needs, interface designs, and user experience requirements of collaborative work in dance for augmented reality is unknown. In particular, more than other commonly […]

There is recently a trend of applying computer vision for interpreting the inspection images or videos of pips automatically. In recent years, deep learning has obtained promising performance in various computer vision tasks such as image classification and object detection. Compared with conventional computer vision techniques, approaches based on deep learning are capable of extracting […]
