Moderco Inc. produit des cloisons amovibles en vitrage double qui doivent respecter des exigences d’isolation acoustique, principalement vis-à-vis des bruits de conversation. De façon générale, la double cloison (deux panneaux séparés par une cavité d’air) est un principe de construction très répandu, qui garantit une perte par transmission acoustique élevée en même temps qu’une structure […]

By combining the information contained in the visual, audio and text content of videos, it is possible to extract complex information about their content. It’s then possible to analyse a query from a search engine to find the video segments that best matches this query. During this project, the intern will be using state-of-the-art deep […]

Korbit Technologies Inc. is developing an e-learning platform to teach artificial intelligence (AI), data science and coding skills. The student interacts with a virtual, personalized AI tutor, through a web-based chat interface. The main objective of this research project is to investigate how a personalized, data-driven learning experience based on the student’s profile, needs, and […]

Le développement de modèles sur le comportement humain est extrêmement complexe en raison, entre autres, de la difficulté à exprimer certaines connaissances acquises par l’expérience. Cognitive Shadow est un outil capable de capturer ces connaissances pour élaborer des modèles à travers de l’observation de la prise de décision des experts sans avoir à exprimer leurs […]

Huntington’s disease (HD) is a genetic neurodegenerative disease characterized by cognitive, motor, and psychiatric disturbance ending in death 15 to 20 years after the onset of the first symptoms. The genetic predictability of HD makes it potentially the most tractable of the neurodegenerative diseases for early intervention, with the optimum time for the introduction of […]

Bats are fascinating animals that provide many ecological services by regulating insect populations. They can eat about 600 insect per hour! Since the introduction of white-nose syndrome in 2006, bat populations in North America have become increasingly threatened. This fungal disease has caused dramatic decreases in many bat populations. Without a cure for white-nose syndrome, […]

AIM Colours is looking to revolutionize self-expression by combining cosmetics with technology through the creation of eCosmetics. We envision eCosmetic applications as devices that can be continuously colour-manipulated from any mobile device, creating a world where anyone can be empowered by make-up instantaneously. This project requires the seamless integration of engineering and science to ensure […]

Minke whales are common in the North Atlantic, but there are huge gaps in scientific knowledge about the species. Through collaboration with Mériscope, we will attach satellite tags to minke whales that feed in the St Lawrence Estuary (SLE) in the summer to track where they migrate throughout the rest of the year. At the […]

The main objective of this project is to investigate, develop and evaluate state-of-the-art artificial-intelligence (AI) algorithms for the automatic recognition of extremely diversified barcode instances, in complex, highly variable and non-controlled scenes. The application area is of high interest to the industrial partner, and the ultimate goal is to build a state-of-the-art, automated and well-calibrated […]

Based at Montréal, Canada, Edgehog specializes in anti-reflection and other light management solutions for displays and solar panel covers. Their nanostructuring technology aims to enable full display readability from all angles in direct sunlight and reduced power consumption through lowered screen brightness as well as boosting solar panel efficiency by increased sunlight absorbance. As their […]

Impaired empathy and social skills lead to severe social consequences and influence the development and treatment of several psychiatric disorders. Furthermore, empathy has been shown to play a crucial role in moral and prosocial behavior. Recently, a revamped interest for psychedelic compounds has invested the medical research community. For instance, psilocybin is a psychedelic compound […]

L’objectif du projet est de caractériser le potentiel des filtres à lave-linge pour la capture des microplastiques issus des lavages de vêtements. Un projet de science citoyenne sera réalisé en collaboration avec l’organisme GRAME. 30 filtres à lave-linge seront installés chez 30 volontaires résidents dans la région du Grand-Montréal. Les participants récolteront le contenu de […]
