Machine Learning is advancing at an astounding rate. It is powered by complex models such as deep neural networks (DNNs). These models have a wide range of real-world applications, in fields like Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Information Retrieval and others. But Machine Learning is not without some serious limitations and drawbacks. The most serious […]

La planification de la réfection d’un navire est une tâche difficile qui requiert un effort considérable en termes de ressources qu’il faut gérer. Elle comprend plusieurs centaines d’activités d’inspection, de désassemblage, de réparation, de remplacement, de reconversion, de modernisation et de réassemblage. De plus, il faut prendre en compte les contraintes d’espace qui limitent le […]

Dans une optique de durabilité, les filières animales sont à la recherche d’alternatives pouvant remplacer le maïs et le tourteau de soya très utilisés pour alimenter les animaux et qui entrent en compétition avec l’alimentation de l’homme. Dans ce cadre, les farines animales, riche en protéines, gras, phosphore et calcium, sont déjà utilisées pour substituer […]

The Gitga’at Development Corporation (GDC) is creating a strategy for economic development activities within the Nation and requires innovative business research to facilitate this initiative. As such, this research cluster is comprised of six projects: • Project 1: Shellfish Aquaculture Opportunity Investigation • Project 2: Alternative Energy Feasibility Study • Project 3: Forestry Feasibility Study […]

This research has two main foci: (1) resilience and resilience intervention and (2) workplace dignity. The first main focus of this project is to evaluate Air Institute’s current evidence-informed Pathway to Resilience program, specifically their effectiveness in impacting the key resilience factors targeted in each workshop. This research will also examine data in order to […]

Thales vient de lancer son accélérateur AI@Centech. Situé à Montréal, l’accélérateur a pour objectif d’accompagner, sous forme de cohortes de 6 mois, des start-ups qui fournissent des solutions basées sur l’intelligence artificielle (AI). Cette grappe Mitacs, qui réunit des stagiaires de l’ÉTS et de Polytechnique Montréal, vient appuyer Thales dans la structuration de son accélérateur, […]

This is a program of research activities through which we will create and compile materials about L’nu and broader Indigenous histories and experiences related to military history. Our materials are to guide the Atlantic Memorial Park Society in its development of Indigenous content at their new heritage site in North Sydney. Songs, Stories and Sacred […]

Le projet de recherche porte sur la prédiction probabiliste d’une demande intermittente. On cherche à prédire la distribution statistique du niveau de remplissage d’un réservoir en fonction du temps, à l’aide des données des derniers services. Ces prédictions permettront d’optimiser les fenêtres de temps des prochains services. De ce fait, on augmentera le taux de […]

The goal of this project is to support Indigenous economic development corporations in the establishment of technology-focused companies designed to introduce, test and market new and emerging technologies of potential application for Indigenous communities. At present, northern, remote and Indigenous communities are being left behind in the technological revolution. Companies do not reach out to […]

In 2016, in partnership with The Ontario East Economic Development Commission (OEED), we started exploring the potential of AIM to represent and manage multi-dimensional graphic and semantic assets related to a geospatially large (40,000+km2), non-urban environment in Eastern Ontario. The area under study is comprised primarily of what Statistics Canada identifies as “rural and small […]

Like many of their global compatriots, Canadian banks have embraced digital transformation, which enables their account holders to access and manage their accounts and investments online, allowing personalized service. This reality includes the needs of internal stakeholders as well as clients. Planning and implementation of Customer Relations Management and digital sales systems require new ways […]

Globally, industries are seeking to develop new products and services from the large-scale data sets they hold. As these systems move from prototypes into fully operational 24/7/265 commercial solutions additional services must be provided to detect and address system faults and failure as they arise. Within classical engineering plants, e.g., those of the telecommunications, petrochemical, […]
