Optimisation du traitement physico-chimique par décantation à floc lesté pour l’enlèvement des métaux d’effluents miniers par méthodologie de surface de réponse

Le partenariat avec l’entreprise a comme objectif principal de répondre à la problématique du traitement des eaux de ruissellement dans un contexte minier. Le projet comporte une extrême variabilité des débits d’effluent à traiter. L’évaluation des solutions d’optimisation se fera en fonction de données réelles. Ce partenariat permettra notamment d’améliorer la captation des métaux par […]

Automation of the TRCA’s Flood Risk Analysis Network (FRANk)

The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) use FRANk (Flood Risk Analysis Network), as a post storm decision making tool. This tool uses stream and rain gauge data to aid in managing and maintaining erosion control structures that are impacted by flooding events. However, FRANk has limitations, including a time-consuming rain gauge data collection process, […]

Développement d’un agent de remplacement de l’agar dans une diète pour l’élevage industriel de larves de carpocapse (Cydia pomonella).

Les larves de Carpocapses et de tordeuse oblique du pêcher sont des ravageurs de cultures (pommes, poires et fruits à noyau). BioTEPP produit un biopesticide efficace contre ces derniers dont l’agent actif est un virus produit in vivo sur les larves. Elles sont nourries à l’aide d’une diète artificielle mimant les caractéristiques de la pomme. […]

Consistent and Grounded Dialogue Response Generation. Generating responses to dialogues such that the responses are logically and factually consistent with the previous history of the dialogue and supplied external context

Conversational experiences are becoming more prevalent in software applications – from Alexa and Google assistant to Siri and Cortana – though the quality degrades when the automated dialogue agent must refer to or recall specific information. These systems are often forgetful, nonsensical, contradictory, repetitive, or hallucinatory, which impacts the user experience. This project aims to […]

Convolutional Neural Network for Demand Forecasting

Many retailers are interested in forecasting demand for the products they sell. Deloitte has used machine learning methods to tackle this problem in the past. However, this requires the creation of hand-crafted features based on product sales data, which is a costly and time-intensive process. Using alternative models to perform this task would remove the […]
