Ce programme de recherche vise à proposer une approche intégrée permettant aux villes de valoriser les technologies liées à la ville intelligente et aux transports intelligents, ainsi que les données collectées, dans l’optique de répondre aux besoins de déplacements des populations, d’améliorer la sécurité des citoyens et de promouvoir la mobilité intelligente et la logistique […]

This project uses the purchase history data from loyalty member cards at the basket level (i.e., all items bought by a customer during a particular trip) for customers under the loyalty program of a chain drug store to develop a model that can generate a realistic future “customer shopping list” (i.e., customer baskets) using the […]

Recently, the near-surface temperature in the Arctic region has been increasing at a faster rate than the global average. Also, many studies show the distinct vertical profile of Arctic warming is determined by various driving mechanisms. Here, we will show how polar warming of different vertical structure affects the climate responses locally as well as […]

The ability for an autonomous robot to create its own map based on onboard sensors and simultaneously, localize itself within this map is know as Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). Although the theory behind SLAM has been well developed much work still needs to be done in realizing SLAM solutions that meet situation-specific real-world requirements. […]

Ecology North wants to hire architecture, engineering and urban interns to assists in the research, outreach, awareness and education of the world’s most advanced sustainable building practices, towards the creation of a building that makes the best use of regenerative architecture, to heal the planet and the people. The project is for the construction of […]

Plant factories are closed growth environment, insulated, fully automated and artificially illuminated that can increase food security in regions such as Northern Canada. However. the technologies used in large scale plant factories are not suited for smaller scale plant factories, housed in shipping container. La Boîte Maraîchère design growth chambers in shipping container, but want […]

Le projet de recherche d’Olivier Séguin-Brault comporte trois volets : 1) un stage de formation en édition où il s’initiera et collaborera activement à toutes les étapes de la production, de l’impression et de la diffusion de la revue scientifique “L’Année rabelaisienne”; 2) un stage de recherche dans les archives de sept bibliothèques spécialisées de […]

Recent neurophysiological studies using the so-called frequency tagging methodology have shown that the human brain is able to track the grammatical structure of spoken sentences even if low-level acoustic (intonational) cues marking phrase boundaries are removed from the speech signal. These results opened a window towards naturalistic investigation of grammar processing and learning. However, currently […]

NLP techniques have been used and tested for several years in different environments and for different applications/domains. The performances of the Natural Language Understanding (NLU) toolbox are closely related to the quality of the text but also on the specific knowledge-domain. Social Media content typically use short sentences with simple grammar and tend to include […]

The Soundskrit group at TandemLaunch is working to revolutionize microphone design by using fibers to sense sound instead of membranes. Fibers respond to the velocity of sound waves and are therefore inherently directional, as opposed to membranes, which respond to sound pressure. Fibers can therefore pick up directional sounds such as human speech more effectively […]

The partner organization in this project has recently developed a new imaging technology that is a potentially suitable platform for the development of miniaturized imaging spectrometer instruments that can provide rapid qualitative analysis of diverse types of samples without use of any chemicals. These instruments have numerous potential practical applications in the agricultural, food, clinical, […]

In many parts of the world, especially in developing countries, untreated or partially-treated municipal and industrial wastewater is directly discharged into natural water bodies and streams. The wastewater may contain many organic as well as inorganic contaminants which may be then introduced to rural communities downstream. The contaminated water may be used for washing, drinking […]
