Mercedes-Benz Fuel Cell is a division of Mercedes-Benz Canada and is responsible for Daimler’s global production of fuel cell stacks. Fuel cell stacks are currently seen as a prominent alternative to internal combustion engine in road cars. In the current design the fuel cell stack is assembled using a few hundred individual fuel cell plates. […]

The Liard River Watershed covers 275 000 square kilometres in Northeastern British Columbia. This vast area is increasingly being developed for its underlying shale gas resources using hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”). However, there are few studies investigating the environmental impacts of such activity in this vast area. Fossil fuels and freshwater are two of Canada’s most […]

Le retard de la justice en matière d’intégration des outils numériques constitue un des constats les plus souvent rappelés du monde judiciaire. Ce retard est notamment perceptible au niveau du Tribunal des professions et des conseils de discipline des différents ordres professionnels québécois. Afin de corriger ce retard, le Projet vise à favoriser le passage […]

A new type of ecologic ultra-High-performance glass concrete (UHPGC) has been developed at University of Sherbrooke through the use of waste glass materials of different particle-size distributions derived from glass culets. The developed UHPGC proved to give several technological, economical, and environmental advantages compared to the conventional ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC). Producing UHPGC mixtures fitting the […]

Insurance companies heavily fund marketing campaigns such as, for instance, customer retention or cross-sell initiatives. Uplift modeling aims at predicting the causal effect of an action such as medical treatment or a marketing campaign on a particular individual by taking into consideration the response to an action. Typically, the result of an uplift model is […]

The purpose of this project is to map the networking structure of Montreal’s aerospace and ICT/AI clusters, and most importantly, the linkages that exist between these two clusters. As the global Aerospace industry continues to embrace digitization, Canadian Aerospace industry needs to act fast to hold a leading position in the international market. Montreal hosts […]

Telops, une entreprise canadienne spécialisée dans la conception et la fabrication d’imageurs hyperspectraux et de caméras infrarouge, a développé l’Hyper-Cam Méthane, un outil permettant de réaliser des mesures précises des émissions surfaciques de méthane. Cet outil est particulièrement adapté à la détection et à la quantification des émissions de méthane sur les sites d’enfouissement, qui […]

Le Centre de recherche industriel du Québec (CRIQ) a pour mission de contribuer à la compétitivité des secteurs industriels québécois et à la croissance des organismes en soutenant l’innovation, la productivité et les exportations. Dans le cadre de ces deux sous-projets MITACS, nous allons explorer comment construire et exploiter des modèles obtenus par apprentissage automatique […]

Bassetti offre à ses clients la solution Teexma®, un outil collaboratif permettant de faire la gestion des données techniques des entreprises industrielles. Cet outil permet de structurer, capitaliser et diffuser les données techniques, mais il n’offre pas de fonctions pour faciliter le recoupement de données provenant de sources différentes. Or il s’agit d’un facteur crucial […]

La fatigue des matériaux est un phénomène d’endommagement. Ce dernier a donc un impact négatif sur les équipements qui sont sollicités de telle sorte dont les turbines hydrauliques servant à produire l’hydro-électricité. Il devient donc nécessaire d’enrichir les connaissances dans ce domaine pour diminuer l’importance de cette dégradation sur des composants aussi critiques que les […]

The procurement process of an organization is key to understand company costs. Organizations gather large amounts of data coming from different sources (e.g. income statement, balance sheet, general ledger lines). This information is heterogeneous in nature as it is a mix of unstructured and structured data. Moreover, it needs to be cleaned and consolidated in […]

Given a set of financial instruments with inherent characteristics at different time intervals, we are interested in finding an optimal trading rule in a high-frequency trading context. A trading rule is defined as a combination of indicators as well as an entry threshold (and potentially other trading parameters). The objective function we are trying to […]
