Crowds are everywhere and studying them is important for urban planning, transportation, evacuation, and safety at large public events. Simulation modelling lets us study crowd behaviour by simulating large numbers of individual pedestrians and seeing how they behave as a crowd in different, sometimes dangerous scenarios. Simulation allows us to study situations that would be […]

This project aims to detect 3D brain lesions automatically using machine learning and MRI images. Given an MRI image of a brain, the project will automatically detect any size lesion. The project will establish a baseline, as well as improvement over the baseline for which performance metrics will be validated. The partner organization benefits from […]

I will apply the cycle method on story visualization. And I will apply the technique about learning unpaired data, unsupervised learning to improve general performance.

Le stagiaire entreprendra la tâche d’améliorer la robustesse des systèmes de dialogue de la Banque nationale. Afin qu’un système de dialogue soit apprécié par les utilisateurs, il est primordial que cette technologie réponde de façon appropriée à une question. Une erreur propagera de la fausse information et diminuera la crédibilité de l’organisation, deux graves problèmes. […]

Hydro-Québec has data acquisition systems for a multitude of sensors, some of which have been installed since almost 20 years in its electrical generation equipment (turbine-generator units – TGU). The collected data is primarily used to ensure that the information is adequate in the event of an equipment breakdown or for specific behavioral studies. Data […]

The project is self-contained. The goal of the project is to develop advanced AI assisted tools for artistic game development. It is anticipated that the advanced modeling of pose based on a mix of 3D motion capture (MOCAP) data and videos capturing human motion will help create advanced AI assisted game design tools that will […]

L’objectif du projet vise à porter en Julia et à améliorer l’outil de prédiction de la demande en électricité à court terme actuellement en oeuvre au sein d’Hydro-Québec TransÉnergie et équipement. Bien que l’outil disponible ait fait ses preuves dans un contexte opérationnel, les changements structurels observés dans les modes de consommation d’électricité, en particulier […]

Few characterization techniques are available to study solid-state battery materials. The resolutions required to obtain insightful results are below 10 microns. Additionally, both information about the mineral phase for solid-state electrolytes and the elemental analysis are crucial for material research. Current methods have poor sensitivity to light elements such as lithium, therefore the need for […]

The intestinal microbiota is essential for enhanced gut health and adequate fiber digestion. Factors such as diet transition and the stress of parturition are associated with changes in the normal microbiota of cows. Microbiota manipulation to improve performance can be achieved by the use of feed additives, such as and essential oils and vitamins, but […]

Many studies suggest that genes, environment, and age contribute to the onset of late-life neurodegenerative disease like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Epidemiological studies have shown correlations between environmental chemical exposure and neurodegeneration, but no direct and causal relationships have been established. Conversely, there may be environmental actors that suppress or delay neurodegeneration outcomes. The human body […]

The access to medical imaging is still limited for Indigenous and non-Indigenous population in remote communities. Teleradiology is now the standard of practice due to the small population size and the large geographical area to cover. The process of teleradiology is quite complex as it requires a very good coordination between the local and remote […]
