Post-Wildfire Stand-Type Shifts in the Western Boreal

We tend to think of wildfire as resetting the biological clock back to zero; forest types always come back to whatever was there before it burned. However, new evidence reveals that this is not always the case and fire can also cause changes to forest types. For example, very hot fires can kill seeds stored […]

Epictrode – Customizable Printed Medical Tattoo Electrodes for Bio-signal Acquisition

The proposed research project is focused on customizable medical tattoo electrodes used on patients in different clinical settings. These electrodes are placed in specific places on the body and are connected to medical signal acquisition systems to collect different medical signals. The signals can include ECG (heart) signals and EMG (muscle) signals, and these signals […]

Savoirs des personnes autistes et des intervenants des résidences à assistance continue aux frontières des institutions : une étude ethnographique

Les résidences à assistance continue sont des milieux d’hébergement où vivent des personnes avec déficience intellectuelle ou trouble du spectre de l’autisme avec trouble grave du comportement. Les services y sont donnés par des travailleurs de différentes professions, pouvant donner lieu à différentes visions de ce qui constitue une « bonne intervention ». Comment les […]

Hortau : Cartographie d’un indice de stress hydrique basé sur des valeurs de potentiel matriciel du sol

Hortau développe des solutions technologiques innovantes pour améliorer le suivi de l’irrigation des cultures agricoles. L’un des défis les plus importants dans l’optimisation des pratiques agricoles est de bien mesurer en fonction du temps la quantité d’eau disponible dans le sol afin d’adapter l’irrigation de façon journalière. La tension du sol est une métrique qui […]

Pathology and disease diagnosis using artificial intelligence and machine learning: Supervised and unsupervised deep-learning based methods on data from medical imaging procedures and patient chart analysis

Machine learning applications in healthcare have shown excellent inroads in medical imaging sciences in recent years. Our research aims to improve upon and open up doors into several different pathology diagnosis applications using artificial intelligence. Contemporary research into some of these applications has shown better diagnostic capacity than expert-level clinicians. Our research into artificial intelligence […]

Unions and the Macro-Economy

This research proposes to examine the relationship between unionization in Canada and Canadian rates of employment, unemployment, and the distribution of earned income. Particular attention will be paid to the institutional environment in which unions and collective bargaining exist. The problem to be explored is the way in which the institutional environment (such as laws […]

A framework to enhance deep learning systems’ trustworthiness against Out of Distribution examples

In the past decade, deep learning models have demonstrated their highest performance for a variety of tasks. These models outperformed classical machine learning models and even humans in terms of performance and accuracy. However, previous research indicated that these models are vulnerable to out-of-distribution and adversarial inputs. Ideally, these inputs should be rejected by the […]
