Advance Machine Learning for Medical Survival Analysis

In this Mitacs Cluster project, we aim to investigate and improve performance of deep survival models developed by Ortho Biomed Inc., our industrial collaborator. The main objective is to predict clinical outcomes, such as time of death, and the time of organ failure before and after surgery, more accurately and more efficiently. Architecturally, Ortho Biomed […]

Towards Representation of Collective Memory: A Holonic Multi-Agent System

Collective memory helps societies access and learn from the knowledge that they have gained through experience in the past, and make better informed decisions at present. When collective memory is explicit and accessible, it facilitates knowledge transfer within the society, helps reach decisions faster, and contributes to preparation for risks. However, access to collective memory […]

Risk-based evaluation and optimization of friction devices for seismic retrofits of non-ductile building structures in Canada

Canada’s early-designed public buildings (i.e., schools and hospitals) are at significant risk of seismic damage and collapse. The installation of seismic protective devices, such as friction devices designed and manufactured by Quaketek Inc, offers a viable strategy to mitigate the seismic risk of building structures. However, the practical use of friction devices has commonly relied […]

Syncrétisme royal et divin dans la numismatique d’Argilos

Bien que les monnaies aient été largement remplacées ces dernières années par des systèmes informatiques sous forme de crédit, l’importance et la valeur d’une unité de transaction restent des éléments de très grande importance, et ce, autant pour nous aujourd’hui que pour les Grecs de l’Antiquité. Les unités de transaction en elles-mêmes datent de plusieurs […]

Development of an Integral Strategy for Model-based Dose Adaptation in Chemotherapy Year Two

Drug models describe the relationship between exposure (or pharmacokinetics), response (or pharmacodynamics) for both desired and undesired effects, and individual patient characteristics. In this project, drug models will be used to propose an integrated dose adaption strategy for cancer treatment. This strategy has a particular clinical value for our partner (InVentiv Health Clinical, a Contract […]

Using high-throughput mapping techniques to reveal mechanisms of vocal learning

Understanding how humans and non-human animals communicate with each other continues to be a central question in neuroscience. Songbirds serve as powerful animal models for this endeavor because they learn their vocalizations (“songs”) in a manner that resembles how humans learn to speak and because vocal learning in songbirds is regulated by discrete brain circuits […]

Improving the performance of manufacturing processes at GE Bromont by using artificial intelligence and pattern recognition

The products manufactured at GE Bromont go through a series of processes that produce the specific characteristics of each product according to required specifications. The number of these characteristics is very large, and several characteristics are dependent on the others. This reality makes the use of traditional statistical techniques for quality control of products laborious […]

Identification of early markers of developmental epigenetic anomalies in bovine production

Bovine production uses a combination of Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ARTs) to improve yield and reduce generation time. In bovine production and in clinical settings, ARTs are associated with elevated rates of developmental disorders in offspring, leading to animal distress, high costs and delayed results. These include Large Offspring Syndrome (LOS) and musculoskeletal anomalies, reported to […]
