This project aims to enhance proficiency estimation in large-scale assessments by improving missing-data imputation techniques. Specifically, the study focuses on refining Multiple Imputation with Denoising Autoencoders (MIDAS)—a deep learning-based approach—by incorporating item response time as an additional contextual feature. Unlike traditional item response theory (IRT) or regression-based methods, which rely on strong assumptions, the proposed […]

The internship focuses on the intersection of mathematics, machine learning, and ethical AI, specifically within the domains of conformal prediction, fairness, and calibration. Conformal prediction is a statistical framework that provides mathematically rigorous confidence measures for machine learning predictions, ensuring that the uncertainty quantification is valid under minimal assumptions. In this project, the goal is […]

Our current research is focused on homework policies, how teachers enact such policies, and how homework impacts family life. Extending that work into this proposed MITACS research project, we aim to examine after-school and summer programs and how such programs are connected to schools and homework. This project will provide insights into how mathematics and […]

Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are responsible for detection and review of malicious interactions. The SOC issues tickets for interactions that are considered suspicious or threatening. These tickets are then inspected by analysts for approval. For sake of safety, this ticketing system often issues too many “false positives”, i.e., it alerts for interactions that are not […]

Depuis plusieurs décennies, les propriétaires riverains du lac Saint-Pierre, dans le Kamouraska, s’inquiètent de l’état de santé de leur lac. Plusieurs études ont relevé des signes d’eutrophisation. L’étude réalisée par Pro Faune en 2006 indique que les apports en phosphore dépassent probablement la capacité de support du lac. Depuis la parution de ces rapports, les […]

Qubic Technologies, specializes in developing advanced quantum microwave transmitters and receivers for remote sensing and telecommunications applications [1]. They leverage superconducting quantum circuits composed of Josephson junctions to enable the generation of entangled microwave signals with correlations beyond classical limits [2]. Their mission is to enable clients to acquire and transmit sensitive data with unprecedented […]

softwareQ develops open-source software tools for quantum computing, focusing on fault-tolerant architectures and distributed quantum systems. The organization collaborates with companies like nuQuantum, a hardware company building quantum interconnects for distributed quantum networks. A key challenge for softwareQ is bridging the gap between theoretical proposals (e.g., semi-hyperbolic Floquet codes) and real-world hardware constraints from platforms […]
