Occupational stress conveys risk of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In PTSD, early diagnosis and early treatment interventions are advantageous for positive outcomes. We will develop novel technology for early diagnosis of and prediction of vulnerability to PTSD in military and first responder personnel. Based on our existing collaboration on identification of symptoms and prediction of […]

Against a backdrop of alarming privacy breaches at social media, banking, and government websites, the European Union will see the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) come into force as of May 25 2018. GDPR will drastically increase fines for data loss and breach, introduces new requirements to obtain individual consent for data use, and defines […]

The main objective and outcome of the proposed research project will try to develop a model that will be able to predict the water consumption level of users as well as the station. Deliverables of the project will be reports, presentation and a software solution that will include a model for the forecast of water […]

The proposed solution will address the aforementioned challenges by attempting to provide scalable authentication and encryption mechanisms. A combination of software and hardware based approaches can be used to provide enhanced security to constrained IoT nodes with respect to their timing and power demands. Technologies such as Bluetooth or 802.11ax mesh networking could be critical […]

In this project, we are interested in device-free methods that passively sense, monitor, and track people’s indoor presence, location, and movement using off-the-shelf Wi-Fi-enabled devices. We use information extracted from the physical layer of wireless links to detect and interpret human presence, location, and physical activities. The current design and implementation of Wi-Fi-based systems exhibit […]

The objective of the project is to investigate how machine learning techniques can be used to detect anomalies in volumes of transactions. This requires the student to conduct a literature review about the topic as well as experimenting with a subset of selected machine learning techniques. The results from the research could help the partner […]

Compilers are large software projects consisting of many separate but common components like code generators, garbage collectors, and runtime diagnostic tools, to name but a few. Historically compiler developers have had to write each of these components from scratch. The Eclipse OMR project was created to provide generic components for use in new compilers and […]

For an Autonomous Vehicle (AV) to make decisions and drive independently on urban streets, the problem at hand can be broken down into many phases, two of which are perception and prediction. Perception refers to the process of extracting valuable information from the environment using data collected by sensors such as LIDAR and camera. This […]

In recent years, deep learning has led to unprecedented advances in a wide range of applications including natural language processing, reinforcement learning, and speech recognition. Despite the abundance of empirical evidence highlighting the success of neural networks, the theoretical properties of deep learning remain poorly understood and have been a subject of active investigation. One […]

L’objectif de ce projet de recherche est d’améliorer la compréhension des membres par les conseillers de la Fédération des caisses Desjardins. Pour ce faire, nous avons mis en place une solution permettant d’analyser l’information provenant des appels et des discussions par chat. Grâce à différents algorithmes de traitement automatique du langage, nous pouvons extraire les […]

Dans le domaine de la gestion des infrastructures, les indicateurs de performance (IP, ou en anglais Key Performance Indicators – KPI) sont des mesures qui lient le client et le fournisseur de services. Ces indicateurs permettent de fixer des objectifs de performance que le fournisseur doit atteindre. Les IP sont particulièrement importants dans des ententes […]

The current project intends to create a software platform solution that solves the communication between organizations in the Music Industry. Overall, the platform uses third party systems to achieve the requirements of the problem statement. Moreover, the platform is built over abstraction levels to integrate different components. The research of the integration of these parties […]
