Environmental modelling and monitoring software systems, which are very important in assessing the effects of climate change, require open data from a large number of sources including all levels of government, NGOs such as watershed management authorities, consultants and business. This data needs to be brought together into internal databases and to be kept up-to-date […]

Every year, people suffer the consequences natural disasters descend upon them. When these unfortunate events occur, emergency response teams are deployed and need to deal with a multitude of challenges. In this scenario, the communication infrastructure is a key element that can contribute to the success of the mission. Considering the case of a Drone-Aided […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 ? […]

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 […]

Urban design and development is an iterative process that involves community engagement and multiple feedback cycles. Advances in internet technologies and web mapping technologies has made it possible to display design plans on websites and to collect feedback on specific locations or aspects of the provided design. Using web mapping applications to feedback from the […]

Two Hat Security is a company that develops next generation moderation tools for social networking apps. Since visual content (e.g. images, videos) is one of the most important types of data shared by social networking apps, an important problem for the company is to identify images/videos that are offensive or inappropriate. For example, certain images/videos […]

The objective of this project is to develop an analytics platform that will give us an understanding of sensory data in predicting trends and relationships between sales and wine sensory data. The wine sensory data we will use in this project is entered by reviewers and consumers rating various attributes such as Aroma, Appearance and […]

Pests and diseases are major problem that growers face with plants. Ecoation Innovative Solutions Inc. (EIS) is proposing a solution to this problem that turns to plants as reliable source of information about their own health and well-being. EIS will provide data from different sensory measurements for clean and infested plants. We intend to use […]

This research project involves the design and implementation of an anxiety management application for transmission on the iPhone. The application employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) methodology and is designed for the 16 to 25 year old demographic. Normally used in face to face therapeutic interactions, the use of a mobile application is unique in that […]
