We are developing a robotic platform and agent that is able to translate instructions (e.g. “bring me the newspaper”) into a series of low-level programs (moving between rooms, locating objects, interacting with objects) and executing these autonomously. Traditionally, in hierarchical reinforcement learning, tasks are executed sequentially, but we would like to focus on parallelization and […]

Pour répondre à l’imprévisibilité des environnements — au désordre ambiant — les organisations tentent d’ajouter de la robustesse et de la résilience par le contrôle. Ce faisant, elles sclérosent leurs structures et se coupent des humains. L’attention se porte alors sur la performance interne et sur la vélocité; sans égard à la qualité ou à […]

The intent of this project is to build a web-page content subsection identification and analysis service. The subsections of a web-page are considered to be meaningful page components (articles, images. media blocks) that can be identified and uniquely fingerprinted. The intent of the project is fourfold: a) sub-component identification and fingerprinting b) sub-component content change […]

This research project informs an essential part of my broader doctoral research which investigates the aesthetic and rhetoric practices developed by today’s far-right populist movements for their propaganda and communication on social media. Working along with Professor Vijay Mago and DaTALab researchers I will generate, collect, and analyse a wide range of new and original […]

Ce stage a comme objectif l’optimisation de l’algorithme d’analyse olfactive developpe par Odotech. Une expertise poussee du domaine des mathematiques et plus particulierement en statistique sont necessaires a ce stage. C’est dans cette optique, qu’Odotech a offert un stage a un etudiant a la maitrise en statistique du departement de mathematique de l’Universite de Montreal. […]

The objective of this project is to develop an automated sonar classifier leveraging modern machine learning approaches in order to decrease the human expertise and cognitive workload required in ships or submarines and enable new applications such as unmanned underwater vehicles.

Le traitement des signaux sous-marins est une tâche complexe et difficile dans le cadre des activités de renseignement et de guerre anti-sous-marine. Il demeure toujours difficile pour un opérateur de sonar de maitriser la complexité de l’analyse des signaux, essentiellement en raison du déluge d’informations diverses que ces systèmes fournissent. Le but de ce projet […]

This project is part of a longstanding continuous collaboration between Ultra and École de technologie supérieure that seeks to leverage the advancements of artificial intelligence (AI) to design a comprehensive framework for a robust ad-hoc underwater tactical wireless networks (AUTWNs). The network will be featured with privacy preserving mechanism to assist threat classification and self-organizing […]

One of the important problems in farming is to decide on variable fertilizer rates based on the inputs about varying soil types and some other factors. This is a key component for optimizing productivity and sustainability in precision agriculture. The main objective of this project is to use datasets captured by satellite imaging to develop […]

Human’s gait, and activity monitoring play important roles in many applications that can have a positive impact on improving the ability of individuals to be as independent, secure, and healthy as possible. Most existing technologies rely on cameras and wearables, while people are not always compliant and need to be wearing them with a battery […]

De plus en plus de projets d’infrastructure sont réalisés entièrement par ordinateur. Bentley Systems développe plusieurs logiciels permettant la création, la revue et la visualisation de ces modèles 3D, sous forme de maillages (mesh) ou de modèles CAD/CAO. Bien que ces représentations offrent des possibilités inédites pour les experts, elles se révèlent difficiles à utiliser […]

Animated fluid effects based on physical simulation have been a staple part of visual effects industry. They are characterized by offline simulation and rendering that produces highfidelity dynamics and visuals. As the technology for computer games advances, the opportunity to create such effects in real-time as either a playback technique or dynamic simulation is becoming […]
