In recent years, deep learning has led to unprecedented advances in a wide range of applications including natural language processing, reinforcement learning, and speech recognition. Despite the abundance of empirical evidence highlighting the success of neural networks, the theoretical properties of deep learning remain poorly understood and have been a subject of active investigation. One […]

Cette recherche a pour but de documenter les particularités des écosystèmes d’innovation de Montréal et Paris constitués de relations entre trois secteurs (privé, universitaire et gouvernemental), afin de comprendre le rôle du processus de légitimation culturelle, en particulier dans la production d’un discours éthique sur l’intelligence artificielle. Grâce à la collecte de témoignages provenant des […]

Ce programme de recherche vise à proposer une approche intégrée permettant aux villes de valoriser les technologies liées à la ville intelligente et aux transports intelligents, ainsi que les données collectées, dans l’optique de répondre aux besoins de déplacements des populations, d’améliorer la sécurité des citoyens et de promouvoir la mobilité intelligente et la logistique […]

Les systèmes de recommandation sont des outils qui permettent aux utilisateurs d’un système de trouver des items qui pourraient leur être d’intérêt. Ces outils permettent d’améliorer les performances marketing à travers l’amélioration de l’expérience client, et cela en limitant le temps de recherche liés à la surcharge d’information à travers une meilleure personnalisation. Les systèmes […]

The ACPS will offer high-reliability and real-time monitoring of the smart-grid infrastructure and the secure CPS will provide secure communication and authentication of the smart-grid devices and components. This results in secure and improved power transmission that can reduce infrastructure maintenance cost for the utility companies and also reduced power-theft attacks from malicious sources. Successful […]

Modern robots depend on numerous hardware devices and human interaction in order to perform their task. These dependencies, in addition to the distributed nature of these systems, make automated full-system testing difficult. Current testing practices are insufficient as they only test a single component of the system or require costly manual labor. Many companies have […]

The aim of this project is to propose an improved mobile-based localization scheme by considering a practical factor (i.e., ship-motion) in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UASNs). In the last decade, localization techniques associated with UASNs have been widely studied as a method to provide fundamental support for many location-based applications. In particular, mobile beacon-based localization […]

PUBLIC is an innovative print periodical with a 25 year history exploring the intersection between art, design, technology and contemporary culture. This Mitacs fellowship will develop the journal’s open access interactive web platform, PUBLIC:PORTAL, using information visualization and design to showcase the journal’s cutting-edge collaborative and cross-disciplinary work. This project designs and tests graphical user […]

In this research, we construct an open evolving network model and study growing conditions of the model. We construct a simple network model that changes the structure and evolves according to time, and we examine the causes of macroscopic phenomena (e.g. earthquake and meteorological phenomenon, brain activity, etc.) through the characteristics of motif dynamics constituting […]

Quantum mechanics explains the behavior of particles in sub-atomic levels. A feature of quantum mechanics is that measurable properties of physical systems occur in complementary pairs : one can ‘know’ the value of only one of the paired properties at any point in time. For example, measuring the position observable changes the value of the […]

As in the classical case, quantum computers are modeled by circuits: that is, basic components connected by wires. Circuit models of computation are used for optimization, minimizing the cost of implementing quantum computers. There are various circuit models for quantum computing with different features. Models of quantum computation generally do not allow for information to […]

IDENTOS and the University of Ottawa will collaborate in the research and development of cryptographic techniques for secure and privacy-respecting blockchain transactions. This project has research, design and implementation aspects. The project builds on the strengths of IDENTOS and The University of Ottawa in the areas of Mobile Security Privacy and Blockchain. The students will […]
