The goal is to develop a new in-video e-commerce service that enables users to purchase apparels directly from streaming videos, such as TV shows and Music videos. To do this, we have to find apparels from an inventory list that are similar to apparel or style appearing in the video. Currently, this can be done […]

Currently, the automotive industry is going through a very significant transformation—one that is blending cars with modern IT, involving technologies such as: multiple CPUs for in-car computing, ad-hoc networking and Internet connectivity, computer vision and sensing technologies, entertainment and artificial intelligence for automated driving and real-world congestion control. Connected and intelligence vehicles are also raising […]

The main aim of this project is to design a database that provides a simplified way for individuals without the technical background to query information from the database. Such a database will operate on natural language, where the user asks the database a question about information retrieval and it presents the user with suitable answers. […]

Nemaska Lithium Inc. est une compagnie québécoise innovatrice qui prévoit devenir un producteur important d’hydroxyde de lithium de haute pureté (grade batterie) sur le marché mondiale. Nemaska Lithium a développé un procédé de fabrication de l’hydroxyde de lithium de haute pureté en utilisant l’électrolyse membranaire, une méthode très sensible aux impuretés dans la solution initiale.

The September is an online luxury retailer. In this research project, we are going to design and implement a personalized recommender system to enhance customers’ online shopping experiences. The past transaction data and browsing history as well as the demographic information of customers will be analyzed to identify the purchasing patterns, shopping trends and user […]

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that is difficult to detect early before apparent manifestations of cognitive decline. Current detection methods rely on expensive and hardly accessible imaging techniques (PET scans). Optina Diagnostics developed a new camera as well as innovative image processing methods to propose a non-invasive test to identify the presence of […]

Au Québec, 5 000 tonnes de homard sont pêchées annuellement en Gaspésie et aux Îles-de-la-Madeleine. Les risques pour les pêches maritimes liés au transport de matières dangereuses, tels que les hydrocarbures, augmentent. Notre projet vise à optimiser le suivi en usine de la qualité du homard vivant, par trois biotests qui renseigneront sur l’état de […]

Les logiciels actuels de DHM (Digital Human Modeling ou d’ergonomie virtuelle) destinés à la conception de situations de travail et de produits demeurent difficiles à utiliser ce qui en limite grandement l’utilisation par les concepteurs et les ergonomes. Pourtant, l’utilisation plus répandue de DHM permettrait d’en arriver à des environnements de travail plus sécuritaires et […]

In the intestines of people living with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), the balance of beneficial bacteria is shifted. Instead, the intestine is overloaded with potentially harmful bacteria – a phenomenon known as dysbiosis. This shift in bacterial populations is believed to be among the key contributors to the onset of inflammation observed in IBD patients. […]

This research project will focus on factors increasing viewership and revenue on Boat Rocker Media’s digital assets on YouTube. Combination of datasets from various sources such as YouTube revenue reporting, YouTube data and analytics Application Program Interfaces (API’s), and social media will be used in an explanatory analysis and statistical modeling to get new insights.

The research will consist of exploring a new language as well as a new paradigm shift in the orchestration and analytics involved in operating a Fiber optical infrastructure equipped with IP routers and Computers. These computers will be equipped with programmable devices that will allow further instructions and detailing about the next generation of internet’s […]

Massive drifting icebergs frequently threaten offshore operations on the Grand Banks because of their massive size, and great mechanical strength. These ice hazards move erratically which complicates efforts to modify their trajectory or undertake evasive action. This MITACS project aims to improve security of offshore workers and help protect wildlife and the environment by allowing […]
