Hospitals strive to perform cutting edge medical treatment, treat all patients fairly, and reduce operating costs, while also enabling caregivers to spend more time interacting with patients. Artificial intelligence and machine learning promise these things. However, medical data provides unique challenges for machine learning. Currently, if a hospital wants to include an algorithm for automated […]

Anticoagulation with Warfarin is indicated and required for post-operative cardiovascular patients. However, it is a high-risk medication with a narrow therapeutic range where sub-optimal dosing can lead to complications and even death. While multiple risk factors have been associated to Warfarin sensitivity, the prediction of optimal Warfarin dosing strategies remains ineffective and requires trial and […]

The research will be using visual information from the phone’s camera as well as demographic information from participants and implement various machine learning algorithms such as random forests, support vector machines, etc. to provide feedback regarding different exercises to the participant. Specifically, the algorithms will classify the exercise types. Furthermore, these algorithms will be optimized […]

Healthcare facilities collect and produce vast amounts of clinical-relevant data. Various AI-related methods (like computer-aided detection for mammography and the learning and visualization of clinical pathways) are applied to healthcare these days, and visualization techniques are also used to support clinicians due to the complexities of clinical data. This self-contained survey focuses on the assessment […]

type of treatment they will provide to patients. With technological improvements and the availability of a significant volume of data, it is increasingly difficult for care providers to properly evaluate and analyze the options available to them. The current health condition of the patient–reflected in the monitored observations which are recorded in EMR–may depend on […]

L’alimentation durable est une composante essentielle de l’économie durable visant à un développement économique apte à répondre aux besoins du présent sans compromettre la capacité des générations futures à répondre aux leurs. Pour ce faire, l’alimentation durable préconise la consommation de produits locaux et, en ce qui concerne les produits maraîchers, cultivés dans le respect […]

The point-of-care i-STAT and VETSCAN units are easily portable blood-based assessment tools that can produce relevant blood parameters within minutes with only 2-3 drops of blood. The objective of this study is to examine both natural and investigator-applied stress gradients in fishes and compare blood chemistry of fishes from a range of environments (e.g., low […]

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are usually employed to quickly render images on everyday computer screens, and do so quickly and efficiently for relatively little cost compared to the use of Central Processing Units (CPUs) that make up the “brain” of the computer. Modern GPUs are able to do hundreds or thousands of simultaneous calculations; rewriting […]

Game-based learning tools often make use of questions to measure and encourage learning, but generating questions can be challenging, especially at the scale that companies like Axonify are required to do. In this project, the intern will design, implement, and evaluate a system that can apply machine-learning on a corpus of text (e.g., a textbook) […]

En cette ère du numérique et de l’intelligence, une nouvelle vision de l’éducation – Éducation 4.0 – vise à développer une approche pédagogique novatrice et centrée sur le développement des compétences du 21e siècles telles la pensée complexe, la résolution de problèmes de façon créative et la capacité d’adaptation. Ces compétences – non-techniques, transversales et […]

The electric power industry is undergoing considerable changes with respect to structure, operation, regulation and modernization. One of the significant changes is the increased utilization of distribured energy sources (DES) such as wind and solar and other immerging technologies particularly in electric distribution systems. It is envisioned that DES will bcome the main source of […]

This project proposes to develop appropriate engineering tools to optimize the operation and tracing of a Sphagnum cultivation site. The project has three major stages: 1) literature review of main indicators of water stress based on the WTD, 2) construction of a database and indexes to represent fluctuations of seasonal water table that allows the […]
