This internship project proposes to develop a new approach to model electromagnetic nonlinear thin regions, such as those encountered in various electrical devices and, for example, constituted by superconducting materials. In fact, it seeks to reduce the computational costs in simulations of devices made of thin layers and consequently allowing more realistic simulations, which is […]

In order to meet the various challenges of food systems, significant support for agroecology can be observed, and more recently in urban areas. This project is a part of my doctoral process, in which I am interested in the rationale, trajectory, functioning and consequences of urban appropriations of agroecology. To study this phenomenon, Madrid is […]

This project will address the production test needs of a silicon-based high-speed photonic transceiver solution for metro-reach terabit optical modems. For this project, the partnership will be between Ciena, DA Integrated (test development contractor) and Prof. Gordon W. Roberts from McGill University (academic expert in DFT and mixed-signal design and test). The scope of this […]

This project aims to contribute to the ongoing discussions surrounding the topic of the Middle to Upper Paleolithic Transition in Europe which is marked by two turning points in the evolution of our own species, anatomically modern Homo sapiens (AMHS). While Neanderthals, our closest evolutionary cousins, went extinct, modern humans migrated out of Africa and […]

This proposed project aims to enable computers to read and understand a document and answer questions related to the documents by using Machine Reading Comprehension technology. In other words, the goal of the project is to equip computers with a similar reading comprehension ability as human beings. The technology can be used in many contexts, […]

Ciena is a Canadian company leader in engineering and manufacturing networking systems and devices. The company has around 5,000 operable products in its portfolio. The vast majority of Ciena products generate logs during the boot up and the mission mode operations from the various tasks running on their real time operating systems. The company wants […]

The main goal of this proposed project is to develop a novel bilingual topic model, which explicitly models the word co-occurrence cross-lingual in document-aligned comparable data using a novel merging and shuffling strategy, called CL-BTM. Given a document-aligned multilingual corpus, CL-BTM can be employed to extract latent cross-lingual topics that optimally describe the observed data […]

À ce jour, peu d’études ont été réalisées sur la contribution de l’Académie de Berlin à la pensée d’Emmanuel Kant. Pourtant, cette influence est non seulement véritable, elle détermine grandement l’évolution de certains des thèmes centraux de la philosophie kantienne. Pour ces raisons, une thèse faisant l’analyse des écrits de Kant et des personnages gravitant […]

L’hépatite B est un virus. Un virus utilise le matériel biologique de son hôte pour exister. L’hépatite B affecte chroniquement environ 240 millions de personnes à travers le monde. C’est conséquemment une pathologie de premier l’ordre lorsque l’on évoque la santé publique. Ce virus affecte sans précédent la qualité de vie des gens qu’il parasite. […]

This project aims to find a better way to measure operational complexity for multi-segments firms, under an accounting perspective. Complexity is an important matter for accounting as many studies have documented how complex firms are harder to analyze for many stakeholders (financial analysts, auditors, regulators). Basically, operational complexity is currently proxied by the number of […]

With the discovery of the Higgs boson, the Standard Model (SM) is complete. Experimental results, even precision tests involving higher order perturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD) calculations, appear to confirm SM results. However, SM cannot be the final theory, and the quest for physics beyond the SM is very much alive. Of the beyond the SM […]

La maintenance du réseau de distribution d’électricité d’Hydro-Québec exige d’exploiter une quantité astronomique d’information concernant la localisation et l’état des actifs. Ce projet propose de développer des approches efficaces à base d’intelligence artificielle pour l’inventaire et le diagnostic automatisé et en continu des équipements du réseau de distribution. De nouveaux algorithmes d’apprentissage automatique, utilisant peu […]
