Load forecasting is an essential activity for a company like Hydro-Québec. It is necessary for objectives as varied as the management of production or the management and maintenance of the electricity network. Any significant forecasting error can result in reliability issues, loss of opportunity, or additional costs to the business. On the other hand, a […]

The goal of the project is to implement real-time state of the art object recognition models on wearable devices. These devices aim to help people living with a visual disability by providing a description of their outdoor environment and offer navigation guidance. This would improve the experience of the users by allowing them to perform […]

The project aims to facilitate the research and development of new drugs by exploring Machine Learning methodology useful for both the generation of new molecules and the prediction of molecule properties. Doing so will involve training deep learning models on a large number of small, heterogeneous datasets, with the objective of transferring learned representations quickly […]

Brain MRI scans are a critical component in the diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders. However, there is a wide diversity in terms of the image quality and resolution obtained from different MRI scanner. In particular, it is common to find coarse resolution MRI scans (e.g. every axial slice is 3-5 mm thick), which limit the type […]

Machine-transcription of speech into text is very helpful in many scenarios. Consider the case of machine-transcription of conversation between a Doctor and a patient. If we are able partition and identify the segments of patient’s speech from those of doctor’s, then the transcribed text is more structured and can be more helpful for further use. […]

The Internet of things is a global infrastructure that enables advanced services by interconnecting physical and virtual things like smartphones, sensors, computers, machines or buildings. These devices typically create enormous amounts of data that can be used to create business value. Mnubo offers a software dubbed Smart Objects that is a comprehensive, full stack IoT […]

Logibec Readmission AI is a predictive intelligence tool that accurately identifies the patient’s likelihood of being readmitted within 45 days of discharge. Rigorously and ethically developed with machine learning techniques in partnership with three large healthcare organizations in Québec, the predictive model uses reliable, accessible and timely clinical-administrative and sociodemographic data to provide clinically relevant […]

In this project, a VR-based testing station for impairment screening will be implemented. The station includes a Virtual Reality (VR) goggle (to be updated to Augmented Reality, AR, later), biophysiological measurement sensors, and an integration algorithm to integrate the result of measurement with scene construction of the VR system to implement dynamic scene rendering. The […]

Feature-rich design software is of critical importance to many industries, including manufacturing, architecture, and construction. A common feature of this software is that, to be used effectively, the user must possess technical competency and an understanding of the specific workflows and practices for using the software within their organizations. In the past, users could get […]

The main duty of Hydro-Québec is to repond efficiently to the energy demand of customers, in a safe and secure way while remaining competitive in the markets as well. The main goal of this start-up project is to support Hydro-Québec in developing a future-oriented energy system by proposing innovative technical solutions. Among these solutions, deep […]

Within a tiered or zoned architecture, new business constraints for regional data residency, imply a need for new architectural patterns. These constraints are not arbitrary: they arise directly from customers demand to ensure their confidential data stays within their defined borders unless required otherwise (e.g. data originating in the U.S. is intended for an E.U. […]

Properly buys and sells homes directly from consumers. For our business to be successful, we must be able to predict two things when making a home purchasing decision: ? The price it would sell for on the open market ? How much time it will spend on the market to sell at that price These […]
