In-Ear Audio and Speech Processing Algorithms: Evaluation, Optimization and Consolidation

Everyday more than one million Canadians working in noisy environments are using Hearing Protection Devices (HPDs) to be protected against the risk of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Together with the NSERC-EERS Industrial Research Chair in In-Ear Technologies (CRITIAS), the EERS Global Technologies Inc. has recently brought to market an innovative line of HPDs, enabling workers […]

Développement d’un procédé électrochimique pour le traitement à la source des eaux usées phytosanitaires

Les produits phytosanitaires utilisés en agriculture, pour lutter contre les espèces nuisibles et les adventices sont devenus essentiels pour une agriculture performante. Cependant, la présence de ces composés (herbicides, insecticides et fongicides) dans les eaux est à prendre en considération en raison de leur toxicité potentielle pour l’homme, pour la faune et la flore du […]

Predicting players social behaviour in online multiplayer videogames

Online multiplayer videogames are popular because most of their content is generated by interactions among players and thus extremely dynamic. Predicting players’ behaviour in these games is necessary to better design and maintain the game environment and to keep the players engaged in the game. These predictions are difficult because a player’s behaviour varies as […]

Separating Syntax and Semantics for Semantic Parsing

Study of language disorders, theoretical linguistics, and neuroscience suggests language competence involves two interacting systems, typically dubbed syntax and semantics. However few state-of-the-art deep-learning approaches for natural language processing explicitly model two different systems of representation. While achieving impressive performance on linguistic tasks, they commonly fail to generalize systematically. For example, unlike humans, learning a […]

Design and development of pharmacological chaperones to restore function to MC4R mutants responsible for severe early-onset obesity.

“Melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) is a is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and key regulator of energy homeostasis. MC4R mutations represent the largest monogenic cause of obesity, resulting mainly from receptor misfolding and intracellular retention by the cellular quality control system. The efficacy of several lead compounds on restoring the cell surface expression and function […]

Development and Optimization of Bio-electro coagulation process for ground and surface water treatment

Ground water is the principal drinking water source in North America and approximately 150 million people relies on ground water for their domestic supply. Groundwater contamination occurs as a direct or indirect result of human or animal waste ingress to groundwater resources. The anthropogenic activity resulted in the contamination of surface and ground water with […]
