This research tackles the problem of correcting errors produced by automatic speech recognition systems when transcribing calls by customers to call centers. These transcripts are increasingly analyzed using automated natural language processing tools, however the quality of this analysis is highly dependent on the quality of the transcription. An automatic speech recognition (ASR) system is […]

The proposed project aims to generate wind-optimal aircraft trajectories for the North Atlantic airspace, which will not only benefit the airlines by allowing them to fly the preferred routes and save on carbon emissions, flight time and fuel costs, but also benefit air traffic by providing safe separation between flights through the use of strategic […]

Tinnitus is when an auditory percept is experienced in the absence of any external corresponding auditory stimuli (Hullfish et al., 2019). This study will look at the use of a sound-based passive treatment to reducing stress and annoyance caused by tinnitus, to ultimately contribute to an increase in the quality-of-life and reduction in the accompanying […]

L’objectif de cette recherche est de mettre en application des méthodes participatives et collaboratives qui sont les fondements même de plan d’action en développement durable pour établir de meilleures pratiques à l’élaboration des futurs projets d’aménagements durables au sein du département Développement Immobilier et Construction de la firme Les Rôtisseries St-Hubert Ltée. Les Rôtisseries St-Hubert […]

Generative design to support complete community quantitative and qualitative analysis brings together growing computational practices in generative design with the urban design challenge of planning and building transit oriented complete communities using urban data analysis. This grant explores the importance of qualitative factors such as social cohesion in complete community design and the opportunity to […]

Malgré leur nombre important (prévalence de 2-10 %), les personnes de l’audiodiversité (c.-à-d. ayant un handicap de la communication [HdlC], par ex. bégaiement, aphasie) sont peu ou pas représentées dans le contenu médiatique (culturel, télévisuel, etc.). Lorsqu’elles le sont, leur handicap est susceptible de faire l’objet d’attitudes discriminatoires et de préjugés, ce qui contribue à […]

L’entreprise D-BOX oeuvre dans le domaine du divertissement et de la réalité augmentée grâce à ses sièges avec rétroaction haptique qui offrent une expérience sensorielle plus riche, que ce soit pour l’industrie du cinéma ou celle des jeux vidéo. Bien qu’il soit possible d’annoter manuellement la trame haptique pour une scène de film, il est […]

Canada’s construction industry plays a crucial role in the country’s economy, but it also generates a significant amount of waste, with much of its value lost when materials reach their end of life. This research project, being conducted in collaboration with CSA Group, will develop a strategic framework for the circular built environment in Canada. […]

Our project aims to improve our understanding of the limits of exercise capacity by using a novel model for critical power, the highest intensity at which a steady state can be achieved in cycling. We will test whether the modified 3-parameter critical power model fits power-duration data better than existing models. This will involve well-trained […]

Deep brain stimulation is a treatment method for Parkinson’s Disease. This treatment involves implanting an electrode deep into the brain, which carries a small but serious risk of complications. However, a new stimulation technique, called temporal interference stimulation, may circumvent these risks, and allow for non-invasive deep brain stimulation. Temporal interference stimulation can selectively target […]

The goal is to investigate the realistic appearance models for complex reflectance properties, modeling reflectance, masking and inter-reflection at many scales. In the end, comparison and basis-space representation will be leveraged to develop an interactive rendering application for pre-visualization and in-game portrayal of complex materials.

This research project aims to improve patients’ understanding of dental procedures through a collaborative learning approach in a dental office. The project involves patients, dental professionals, and researchers working together to create interactive digital artwork that explains different dental treatments. Patients will have the opportunity to share their knowledge and experiences, which will be used […]
