Thales vient de lancer son accélérateur AI@Centech. Situé à Montréal, l’accélérateur a pour objectif d’accompagner, sous forme de cohortes de 6 mois, des start-ups qui fournissent des solutions basées sur l’intelligence artificielle (AI). Cette grappe Mitacs, qui réunit des stagiaires de l’ÉTS et de Polytechnique Montréal, vient appuyer Thales dans la structuration de son accélérateur, […]

Depuis quelques années, de plus en plus de petites ou moyennes entreprises intègrent le marketing de contenu dans leurs stratégies sur les réseaux sociaux. Ce marketing consiste «?à créer et à distribuer du contenu pertinent et précieux afin d’attirer, d’acquérir et d’engager un public cible clairement défini et bien compris, dans le but de générer […]

Knowledge graphs store facts using relations between pairs of entities. In this work, we address the question of link prediction in knowledge graphs. Our general approach broadly follows neighborhood aggregation schemes such as that of Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN), which in turn was motivated by spectral graph convolutions. Our proposed model will aggregate information from […]

This project will advance development of technologies capable of detecting rapidly and reliable a range of gases harmful to humans. Student interns working in university labs and with our partner will develop new gas sensors using new materials that resonate in observable ways when they come into contact with harmful gases. These sensors will be […]

This project aims to develop an initial velocity model of the Revell Batholith and surrounding Greenstone belts. Establishing a microseismic network in this area is planned to better understand the long-term seismic hazard and geology of the region and at the site-scale. In order to accurately evaluate and interpret the microseismic data coming from a […]

This proposal introduces a novel approach for designing and fabricating a low-cost and low-power heater for a dynamic thermochromic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film. Thermochromic PVC has a reversible color change by a temperature variation and has applications in buildings. In order to have a dynamic thermochromic PVC, a heater is needed, that can be realized […]

Overactive bladder (OAB) is an incurable, chronic medical condition that is characterized by symptoms of urgency, frequency, nocturia and urinary incontinence. It affects approximately 18% of adults and over 30% of the elderly population. Saphenous nerve stimulation is a novel therapy aimed at treating OAB patients. It offers an alternative to bladder medication, which can […]

Gold is the most economically important mined mineral in Canada, with a production value of $8.7 billion in 2017. Quebec and Ontario together accounted for more than 75% of the mined gold production in Canada in 2017. Economic, efficient, yet safe and environmentally responsible gold extraction is vital to Canada’s dynamic economy and environment, as […]

This exploratory study will utilize indirect calorimetry (the method by which the type and rate of substrate utilization, and energy metabolism are estimated), accelerometer-based technology, photo-elicitation interviews, focus-groups, and a subsequent large-scale survey to answer the following research questions: a) What is the energy expenditure of a typical fly-fishingday and its physical fitness requirement? b) […]

The proposed project aims at developing an enterprise-level CDMA2000 Communication System based on SIP Soft Switching technology and CDMA2000 emerging technology. It is called an enterprise-level communication system because it has typically only thousands of subscribers rather than millions of users as in the case for carrier-level systems; furthermore it has to be cost effective, […]

Lynn Creek poses flood and erosion risks in North Vancouver, BC. The surrounding urban areas are not protected by structural flood protection measures, and flood mitigation has historically been conducted through gravel removals, which increase the depth of the channel. Recent analysis has shown that gravel removals are relatively ineffective at reducing the flood risk, […]

To investigate how artificial intelligence techniques can be applied to improve productivity in computer-mediated work contexts, including email and messaging applications. We look at how to leverage features in data to make better guesses about when someone is productive, and create intelligent assistants to help people stay productive.
