Optimal trade execution is a well-known problem in quantitative finance. It helps financial actors who trade large quantities of a given asset minimize their risk and their adverse price impact. The problem’s complexity is multiplied when considering highly fragmented markets, such as those existing today for digital assets. The most recent advances in reinforcement learning […]

To share music with others can prove to be a challenge. Throughout time, humans have managed in different ways. First, it was transmitted orally. The downside of it is that the receiver must be physically present in order to capture the information. With the apparition of musical notation around 1400 BC, the previous requirement is […]

The online video-based tutoring industry is growing fast but there is a lack of interaction between student and tutor. Some survey studies suggest that interactive video-based tutoring like giving bookmarks, hints, nudges, and quizzes in between video lectures helps the student in improving concentration and learning. We propose an interactive video tutoring module which given […]

Some of us recall our dreams very often, while other hardly ever remember them. The neuroscience of sleep and dream research is a thriving field with still many unanswered questions. Differences in brain network dynamics between individuals with high versus low dream recall rates, are still poorly understood. In this internship, we will address this […]

Dans les recherches récentes en génie logiciel et plus particulièrement en compréhension du logiciel, une grande partie des approches utilisent des techniques issues de la communauté du traitement automatique des langues naturelles. L’utilisation de ces techniques de traitement des langues au logiciel s’est avérée être efficace pour capturer des informations textuelles et sémantiques dans des […]

Cette thèse a pour objectif d’analyser le poids d’acteurs supranationaux dans la mise à l’agenda de politiques nationales d’éducation, qui demeurent une prérogative étatique. Comment les pratiques d’acteurs supranationaux influencent-elles la mise à l’agenda de politiques nationales?? Afin de répondre à cette question, cette recherche se concentre sur l’influence des pratiques de l’OCDE (Organisation de […]

Cancers are treated today with the appropriate combination of chemotherapy drugs, surgery and radiation. Chemotherapy is almost invariably dosed intravenously, and enters the systemic blood flow where it circulates around the whole body, coming into contact with healthy cells as well as cancerous ones. This systemic dosing has two big problems: too little drug gets […]

In the Copenhagen Accord of 2009, 23 parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) committed themselves to mitigating their greenhouse gas emissions by 2020. While the European Union will fulfil its commitment, other parties such as Australia, Canada and the US will not reach their envisaged targets. These four cases face […]

Ce projet de recherche, dans le cadre de mes recherches doctorales, à la Faculté de droit de l’Université de Montréal, sous la supervision de Professeure Julie Biron, me permettra d’approfondir les recherches en ce qui concerne la conformité dans les sociétés canadiennes dont certaines opèrent en Afrique subsaharienne dans le secteur minier. A cet effet, […]

La maladie de Parkinson touche plus de 1,5% des personnes de plus de 65 ans et jusqu’à 90 % des personnes atteintes développent des difficultés à avaler ou à s’exprimer au courant de leur maladie. Ces difficultés nuisent aux relations sociales des personnes qui vivent avec cette maladie. Des thérapies en orthophonie peuvent aider à […]

An important challenge in developmental psychiatric research is to understand which are the neural mechanisms underlying language acquisition and speech comprehension. Auditory entrainment is the mechanism by which the brain faithfully entrains electrophysiological activity to rhythmically modulated stimuli, and it is seen as the mechanism that the listening brain use to attune to acoustic regularities […]
