BETSY – Bovine Expert Tracking and Surveillance

OneCup provides cattle management solutions to the livestock industry. Our AI is called BETSY – Bovine Expert Tracking and Surveillance. Using artificial intelligence, we put a rancher’s skillset into a device the size of a small book. With several types of cameras, BETSY can ID and track cattle activity 24×7. For example, she can track […]

Indoor object detection for personal assistant for the blind

Humanware develops since 2003 a GPS-based dedicated device which helps a blind person to orient himself and guide him to his destination. In this project, we want to enhance the user’s experience by providing a better understanding of the environment by interacting with the device in a more natural manner. This project addresses two types […]

Applying state-of-art NLP models to molecular representation

Molecular generative methods are at the heart of our computational platform. We use cutting edge deep neural networks in order to generate unseen molecules based on existing conditions or molecular space. Since external projects typically require different architectures, we are continuously expanding our generative methods toolbox with new approaches. This project aims to augment our […]

Anomalous DNS Query Detection Using Machine Learning Approaches

For organizations that use the Internet, their employees will visit thousands of websites every day. However, there is a chance that the destination website is not safe to visit. Such websites may be fraudulent, phishing, or even data-stealing related. On the other hand, determining if the target website link is suspicious or not could help […]

Tool-path generation and optimization for robot machining using Artificial Intelligence

This research aims to generate and optimize optimal tool-path(process path of robot) by learning data on kinematics and dynamics properties required for the machining process using multi-axis robots with Artificial Intelligence(AI). Based on the end-effector of the robot, a new approach is proposed to optimize tool path in drilling or milling processes and to develop […]

Analyse statistique des liens entre blocs de variables de format mixte

CONTEXTE : Nos recherches proposent le développement de méthodologies statistiques et de leurs applications aux données réelles issues de disciplines très différentes. A l’heure actuelle, les scientifiques ont régulièrement accès à des données mesurées sur plusieurs ensembles (blocs) de variables pour le même ensemble d’observations. Cette structure de données est connue sous le nom de […]

Étude comparative des réglementations relatives à la lutte contre la désinformation

Le projet repose sur une étude du droit applicable aux “fake news”. Il s’intéresse aux différentes approches prévus par les droits français, américain, britannique, allemand, italien, québécois et canadien et sur les différentes approches de la réglementation mobilisées dans la lutte contre la désinformation (législation spéciale, jurisprudence, régulation laissée aux plateformes, mise en place de […]

Les défis de la démocratie des données

Dans nos sociétés hautement connectées, les données personnelles des citoyens peuvent être utilisées par diffèrent types d’acteurs politiques aux motivations diverses. Ces données peuvent être utilisées par les partis politiques pour profiler les citoyens et leur transmettre des messages personnalisés lors des campagnes électorales. Elles peuvent aussi être utilisées par les gouvernements afin de contrôler […]
