Solutions proposed by software engineering researchers are not usually used by practitioners due to the lack of tool support. The research software Dione was developed as a solution to this problem. Dione is a platform agnostic integrated software analytics solution to tackle this problem. We have implemented prediction models for effort estimation and defect prediction […]

Les services de soins et de maintien à domicile comptaient sur un budget de 5,9 milliards de dollars en 2010, soit environ 4% des budgets publics en santé et sont en pleine expansion puisque qu’en 2011, 1,4 million de Canadiens en bénéficiaient, soit 55% de plus qu’en 2008. Le modèle de revenu pour la prestation […]

Teams of specialized workers develop most software. For example, one team may specialize in the requirements that describe what the software is to do. Another team may specialize in producing the software itself. Yet another team may specialize in determining whether the software meets the desired requirements. Supporting communication between all these teams is challenging: […]

The objective of the project is to demonstrate the automatic mining of Google Streetview data to assess the infrastructure of municipal assets, in particular the conditions of roadways. This is the short-term vision of the project. The long-term vision is that other assets such as bridges, tunnels, sidewalks, trees, etc. will be similarly be mined. […]

The Freshwater Fisheries Society of British Columbia is dedicated to the conservation, restoration, and sustainable exploitation of British Columbia’s freshwater fish resources. They have set up cameras to label fishing levels in BC lakes, but it is too time-consuming to count the number of fishers in all these images. We intend to use recent advances […]

This project seeks to address the flood of bugreports and crashreports that software companies must address when they build consumerfacing software. Organizations can easily face 50,000 crash reports per day. Developers cannot manually sift through them all. The goal of this work is to exploit modern search engine technology and crash report representation to enable […]

The overall goal is to create the backend of a mobile personal organizer that suggests professional events (conferences, colloquia, workshops, exhibitions) and contacts to establish while attending events, to members. Currently, the target audience are professionals in the biomedical domain. Given the need to feed data and meta-data from heterogeneous sources into the application, the […]

Fitness tracking is the process of tracking the fitness-related activity and metrics of a person such as heart rate, distance walked, and consumption of calories. Emerging and specialized wireless sensors and devices also enable the tracking of movements performed during workouts in gyms. This project will help improve the motion tracking experience by reporting workout […]

A log message is a written message that records either events that occur in a hardware system, software runs, or a network connexion. Indeed, log messages are used to detect system anomalies, security vulnerabilities and cyber attacks. Ubitrak is a Montreal company specialized in the field of computer security. It offers various security services, including […]

This research project is part of an endeavor exploring how to design, research and prototype technological advances related to S3D (Stereo 3D) calibration processes and tools, including for DIY and mobile S3D rigs. This project will benefit the company Rampage Entertainment as well as the Canadian filmmaking and new media production community by enabling the […]

Item-to-item and user-to-item recommendations are prevalent on most ecommerce websites and digital content related mobile applications. At Kobo, we strive to constantly improve our recommendation system, which is based on co-purchase patterns on Kobo’s website or through Kobo eReaders and mobile apps. This internship is to explore improving the system along several dimensions: incorporating additional […]

We propose to develop smart algorithms for document generation, by innovating in the field of natural language processing and document intelligence. We envision the next generation of business applications able to parse and understand documents, to compose documents automatically, and to respond intelligently to voice commands. Our industrial partner, Koneka Inc. has a document automation […]
