Les blessures ou lésions au travail constituent la 2e cause la plus importante d’invalidité au monde. Afin d’aider les travailleurs dans leurs tâches et réduire l’exposition aux blessures, l’utilisation d’exosquelettes est une avenue prometteuse. Il existe déjà plusieurs exosquelettes d’assistance pour la production automobile et les industries manufacturières, mais ceux-ci ne sont pas adaptés aux […]

Le trouble orofacial myofontionel (TOM) réfère à l’ensemble des comportements oromusculaires inadaptés. Il s’agit d’un trouble moteur impliquant la musculature de la bouche et du visage, ce qui interfère avec une maturation normale des structures orofaciale. En orthophonie, les enfants référés pour un TOM présentent généralement une déglutition atypique et un problème d’articulation de la […]

This project explores 3D pose hand reconstruction using machine learning models with sensor data from innovative input devices. The goal is to propose an approach that provides real-time high fidelity hand reconstruction and understand how users perceive its quality to improve user experience and social interaction in AR/VR. The proposed methodology is to train a […]

Science and engineering companies rely on powerful computers to simulate, in virtual space, the performance of new processes and products. The computer architectures of these systems are evolving to provide even faster virtual solutions with less energy requirements. This hardware evolution impacts software design and implementation of simulation tools such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). […]

La nouvelle suspension des motoneiges Ski-Doo de l’entreprise Bombardier Produits Récréatifs (BRP), le R-motion, présente un amortisseur passif dimensionné pour un type spécifique de motoneige. L’objectif est maintenant de concevoir un amortisseur semi-actif couvrant la vaste plage de fonctionnement de trois amortisseurs KYB présents sur les modèles de motoneiges GSX, MXZ X et MXZ X-RS […]

With increasing amounts of information available online on the web, it’s crucial for search engines to filter out the content they think is useful and rank that content in decreasing order of relevance to the user’s query so that the user can just focus on the top results. Traditional techniques in search ranking focused on […]

L’objectif principal de ce projet consiste à développer une formulation de béton électriquement conducteur basé sur l’utilisation des résidus de bauxite calcinés. Les retombées de ce projet de recherche pour le Canada sont doubles puisqu’elles permettront, dans un premier temps, une valorisation de produits recyclés issus de la production d’aluminium canadienne, réduisant ainsi l’impact environnemental […]

The goal of the project is to improve upon the methodology behind goal conditioned learning. In this framework, similar to the setup in traditional reinforcement learning, an agent interacts with an environment. However, instead of training the agent to maximize return, the agent is trained to reach a given goal at the end of the […]

VerticalScope is a company that owns online forums in many domains, such as automotive, health, technology, and powersports. VerticalScope uses a content based recommender system to mitigate the cold start problem, where a large portion of traffic on the forums are made by unregistered users. The goal of this project is to learn representations of […]

ICICI Bank has developed various ‘Zero credit touch’ (ZCT) strategies where without any credit intervention and additional information taken from customers, credit facilities can be provided. But there are several challenges in the expansion of ZCT strategies, namely, (i) current credit models which are a combination of business rules, scorecards and machine learning models, do […]

This project is focusing on creating an integration of a database and mathematical calculation, with the use of Alexa, Google home, Cortana, so that users can use Natural Language to aggregate meaningful data and answer questions from a given database. For example, suppose there is a database about car sales. If I asked Siri, “who […]

The ability of the health system to manage a massive influx of patients is based on the combination of four factors: the personnel, the equipment, the physical spaces and the system in place. A combination better known in jargon as the 4 “S” (staff, stuff, structure / space, system). A fifth factor that is often […]
