Transformer neural network models have achieved state of the art results in many areas of machine learning, including natural language processing (e.g. BERT, GPT-3) and computer vision (e.g. ViT, SAM). However, to achieve these results currently requires extremely large training datasets which are not available in every domain. One such domain is medical imaging, in […]

In this project we will study distribution problems arising when time-sensitive information needs to be collected and handled appropriately. These problems arise as a business need of our partner organization to support the decision systems of several customers that require fast and reliable optimization methods to design distribution plans under tight time considerations. Either the […]

L’objectif principal du projet est de mettre en évidence le lien entre l’absorption linéaire d’un matériau, qui varie avec la longueur d’onde, et l’efficacité d’ablation laser (volume/énergie) de ce dernier. L’étude proposée consistera à usiner divers matériaux, dont les spectres d’absorption ont été préalablement caractérisés lors de projet antérieur, à l’aide de diverses sources laser […]

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are increasingly employed in vision-based systems, extending well beyond self-driving vehicles. With the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and distributed vision sensing, vision-based systems have found diverse applications across various domains. These include detecting hazards on work sites and anomalies in critical infrastructure, utilizing, for example, video and image […]

The Limestone Barrens of Newfoundland are a coastal ecosystem hosting many rare plant species, including the endangered Braya fernaldii and Braya longii. In addition to habitat loss and human disturbance, these plants are chronically affected by fungal infections and foliar damage by insect pests. To assist species recovery efforts across their historic range, seeds have […]

March Consulting is a multi-disciplinary engineering consulting company, primarily serving the mining, agricultural, manufacturing, building projects and clean energy sectors. March has partnered with SIMSA (the Saskatchewan Industrial Mining and Suppliers Association) on a series of projects related to preparing the Saskatchewan supply chain to participate in the small modular reactor industry. The scope of […]

The Salish Sea contains many shipping routes frequently used by the endangered Southern Resident killer whales (SRKW). To protect the declining population of SRKW, current efforts are focused on limiting encounters between SRKW and vessels. To acoustically locate SRKW in the Salish Sea, detectors must be capable of distinguishing SRKW and Bigg’s killer whale vocalizations. […]

Le projet de recherche consiste à étudier le comportement des assemblages boulonnés en acier et aluminium dans des milieux salins, tels que les zones marines ou exposées au sel. Les structures comme les tours de transmission, les pilons et la signalisation routière seront analysées pour identifier les problèmes de corrosion qui peuvent affecter ces assemblages. […]

Cloud computing is an emergent computing paradigm that offers the computing resources to the Clients on-demand in a pay-per-use fashion. Enterprises can move their information technology infrastructure to the Cloud, and save on their capital and operational expenses, as such, the enterprise becomes a Cloud tenant. Many concerns arise on whether the Cloud can ensure […]

L’introduction d’espèces aquatiques envahissantes est une menace en croissance dans le sud du Québec, probablement aggravé par la popularité des activités nautiques et les changements climatiques. Devant ces changements, les organismes de gestion publics ont mis en place des actions de sensibilisation, de prévention et parfois de contrôle, notamment des campagnes d’éducation et l’installation de […]

XEOS Imagerie a mis en place un programme d’acquisition de villes en 3D et de création de jumeaux numériques. Pour ce faire l’entreprise capte les données suivantes : — Photos aériennes verticales à 5 cm de résolution — Photos aériennes obliques à 5 cm de résolution — Lidar à 30 pts/m² XEOS Imagerie désire utiliser […]

This research project will seek to investigate the effect of Noa’s pro-resolution therapeutic drug compounds on keratinocyte and fibroblast cell migration as it relates to dermal wound closure. This project will investigate the impact of the therapeutic drugs on skin cell viability proliferation, and mobility using a multitude of different assays. In better understand how […]
