Deep neural networks are a valuable machine learning method that is at the heart of many technological innovations. From self-driving cars to automatic translations and image recognition, etc. it seems that deep neural networks are a great tool that can adapt to different problematics. However, defining the right network for the right application is a […]

En 2018, les entreprises doivent se protéger contre un risque opérationnel critique : le cyberrisque. L’objectif de ce projet de recherche est de développer une cote de cybersécurité, qui donne une mesure du niveau de cyberrisque global d’une entreprise en fonction de ses caractéristiques et de son programme de gestion des systèmes informatiques. La cote […]

This project, in partnership with ATB Financial, will focus on the application and development of machine learning techniques in banking. We will delve into early prediction of customer events, such as encountering financial difficulties, that could indicate other issues and present opportune moments for ATB Financial to help customers get back on track. We will […]

When you load a page on the internet, or watch a video, or send an email, packets of information travel along a path from your computer to the destination. Where does this path go? If both you and your destination are located in the same country, does the path respect international boundaries? We propose a […]

L’objectif de cette étude est d’évaluer l’impact du fonctionnement d’un prototype du système d’automatisation MOBILE dans un environnement représentatif à l’aide d’un modèle de simulation à évènements discrets. Ce système a pour objectif de permettre : i) une automatisation des chargements et des déchargements des laveurs; ii) une sélection automatique des laveurs et de leurs […]

The project is centered around the need for procedures in classical relativistic field theories. The idea is to determine the minimal amount of rules (postulates) such that a classical field theory can be uniquely determined. More specifically, determining a set of rules such that a unique set of models will follow from Noether’s theorem. The […]

This project is part of a larger mathematical modelling research project that has the broad objective of answering the question: Where should wildflowers be planted around blueberry farms to increase bumble bee pollination and provide the best economic result to the growers? To that end, we are creating an online tool in which blueberry growers […]

In recent years, the use of Mathematics and Statistics in Finance has become increasingly important, with the arrival of new software and investment methods. The notion of market efficiency, particularly the assumption that assets are always correctly priced, suffers from market anomalies which lead to potential arbitrage strategies in the short run. Therefore, this project […]

In order to model and determine properties of plasmas such as magnetosphere or fusion devices a consistent mathematical model is required. The goal of this project, among other open problems, is to prove long time uniqueness and existence of the Relativistic Vlasov Maxwell system. In the process, determine estimates on the electromagnetic field intensities, the […]

This project aims to study various aspects related to the contagion of financial crisis between markets, including the improvements on contagion measures, test of the existence of contagion, and the application of contagion measures in portfolio diversification across markets. The contagion of financial crisis is defined as the phenomenon that there is a significant increase […]

Le but de la planification hydro-électrique moyen-terme est de déterminer la quantité de ressources hydrauliques qui sera puisé de chacun des réservoirs d’un système de production pour répondre à une demande électrique ou en débit. Ces quantités ou politiques s’étendent en général sur des horizons de 1 à 2 années avec des décisions hebdomadaires ou […]

Consider the temperature distribution in a classroom; to change it, we need to install a heater somewhere in the classroom. With a heater, we can raise the temperature, as well as change its distribution such that less heat flows to doors and windows, and more to seats. The location of the heater in the room […]
