In recent years, weather has been recognized as an important factor that can have a significant impact on consumer behavior in certain industries. Predictive models that incorporate weather data can help industries to adjust their inventory and marketing strategies to optimize sales. This research project focuses on using machine learning and data analytics to determine […]

A typical language test usually consists of four parts: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Both audio and text data from the test takers will be collected and used by the automated scoring system. During the test, some test takers will intentionally/unintentionally provide abnormal answers, which may contain memorized content, repeated sentences, and meaningless or off-topic […]

En mars 2022, ACLAM, anciennement la corporation Secondaire en spectacle, a adopté une nouvelle raison d’être : le développement global et du plein potentiel des élèves des écoles secondaires par la pratique d’activités culturelles parascolaires. L’organisme doit toutefois être en mesure de faire valoir l’importance de ces activités pour l’élève. Le projet de recherche consiste […]

La composition en nutriments a été traditionnellement considérée comme un point clé pour justifier et recommander la consommation de certains aliments. En ce qui concerne les produits laitiers, les guides alimentaires de nombreux pays ont principalement insisté sur le lien calcium-lait selon lequel un nombre minimal de portions quotidiennes de lait et produits connexes devrait […]

The global population is aging at an unprecedented rate, increasing the necessity for effective interventions targeting the mental health needs of older adults. The proposed research project is a partnership between Dr. Khoury’s mindfulness research lab at McGill (PhD Intern: Isabel Sadowski) and Super Splendide. We seek to investigate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness […]

The overall purpose of this research is to explore the ways diagnostic assessments enable or disable growth in mathematics understanding for children most impacted by colonialism, in particular Black and Mi’kmaw children in Mi’kma’ki or what we now call Nova Scotia. This research stems from ongoing collaborative relationships in local Mi’kmaw and Black communities that […]

Poor nutrition is common in older adults and may be even higher in Indigenous communities than the general population. Yet, nutrition risk is rarely assessed as part of a health check-up. In this project, a First Nation and an interdisciplinary team will work in partnership to determine how to address poor nutrition in that community. […]

To validate structured trade contracts for language and economic term correctness, the existing document understanding systems use machine learning methods, natural language understanding, and text analysis, to extract data elements from financial documents. This can be expanded to a wide variety of financial documents, especially customer-provided reference material. The project focuses on document information extraction […]

This research project focuses on the integration anonymized signals from sensors. The capture of this data and application provides enhancement and personalization and additional clarity of information to optimize the value of benefits and features for FutureCite membership services.

Les PME manufacturières du Québec sont en constante évolution et doivent faire preuve d’agilité pour se démarquer de la concurrence. La personnalisation des biens, une technique de production couramment utilisée au Québec, est un des moyens empruntés pour faire sa place dans un marché compétitif. En revanche, la mise en production de produits hautement personnalisée […]

Hardwood tree species provide many ecological and economic benefits to New Brunswick and across Canada. These benefits relate to biodiversity and habitat, high-quality timber products, and of course maple syrup. Understanding where these species thrive provincially will be necessary to help New Brunswick forests to withstand the challenges posed by climate change. Using relevant and […]

The research problem of interest to EssilorLuxottica and to be addressed in this Mitacs Accelerate project with two M.Sc interns is the user experience of people who wear glasses in dynamic mobile contexts. Its significance for Canadians who wear glasses is due to the reality that smartphones have become an essential tool for interacting with […]
