La vulgarisation scientifique suppose de préparer du contenu dit « expert » en vue d’être diffuser et lu par des publics non experts. Ce passage vers un contenu profane demande de comprendre l’information d’origine, mais également des différents publics auxquels il s’adressera : il faut alors communiquer un message pertinent pour ce public au regard […]

The goal of this work will be to explore different ways to visualize and interact with knowledge extracted automatically from very large heterogeneous document collections. This extracted knowledge will be in the form of a multi-attribute graph of extracted entities and relationships between them. These relationships will be associated with both temporal and spatial information. […]

The Agriculture and Agri-Food System of Canada (AAFS) is an important component of the Canadian economy. Outdoor agricultural shows have moved from their simple marketplace roots to places that facilitate increased productivity, accelerated innovation and business formation. Central to these functions is the geographic concentration of stakeholders. With the growth in show size, supporting effective […]

Le projet de recherche d’Olivier Séguin-Brault comporte trois volets : 1) un stage de formation en édition où il s’initiera et collaborera activement à toutes les étapes de la production, de l’impression et de la diffusion de la revue scientifique “L’Année rabelaisienne”; 2) un stage de recherche dans les archives de sept bibliothèques spécialisées de […]

This project explores the use of new forms of currency and revenue models in the context of online platforms, looking for their different economic and symbolic implications. By looking at an adult website that broadcasts amateur sexcams, this research asks how money – tokens, crypto currencies and traditional currencies, are experienced there, querying their different […]

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) offer a unique immersive video experience by providing 360-degree video in a panoramic view. Limited bandwidth, demanding high quality, encoder delay, network latency and lack of standards are the main problems to deliver true VR immersive experience. To address these challenges, in this research, we intend to design […]
