In Canada, the need to address housing demand along the growing urbanization with consideration of environmental impact, motivated timber-based construction. Timber structures are known for their aesthetic, flexibility in achieving the innovative architectural designs, fast means of construction and environmental friendliness. In the past decade, significant research have been undertaken to use timber for mid- […]

Currently, the automotive industry is going through a very significant transformation—one that is blending cars with modern IT, involving technologies such as: multiple CPUs for in-car computing, ad-hoc networking and Internet connectivity, computer vision and sensing technologies, entertainment and artificial intelligence for automated driving and real-world congestion control. Connected and intelligence vehicles are also raising […]

The main aim of this project is to design a database that provides a simplified way for individuals without the technical background to query information from the database. Such a database will operate on natural language, where the user asks the database a question about information retrieval and it presents the user with suitable answers. […]

Au Québec, 5 000 tonnes de homard sont pêchées annuellement en Gaspésie et aux Îles-de-la-Madeleine. Les risques pour les pêches maritimes liés au transport de matières dangereuses, tels que les hydrocarbures, augmentent. Notre projet vise à optimiser le suivi en usine de la qualité du homard vivant, par trois biotests qui renseigneront sur l’état de […]

Massive drifting icebergs frequently threaten offshore operations on the Grand Banks because of their massive size, and great mechanical strength. These ice hazards move erratically which complicates efforts to modify their trajectory or undertake evasive action. This MITACS project aims to improve security of offshore workers and help protect wildlife and the environment by allowing […]

Les avancées en intelligence artificielle (IA) permettent de plus en plus d’automatiser des tâches hautement cognitives qui, jusqu’à présent, étaient réalisées exclusivement par des humains. Or, la littérature sur la spécification des exigences ne couvre pas spécifiquement les technologies numériques (TN) basées sur l’IA étant donné qu’elle implique un changement de paradigme fondamental en développement […]

Nowadays a corporation’s public image plays a major role in that company’s decisions and financials. This project involves predicting fraud and errors within the financial statements of publicly traded companies.

Layer 6 builds state-of-the-art recommender systems for TD’s online businesses. Collaborative Filtering (CF) is a common recommendation approach that widely adopted by many e-commerce platforms. Modern CF algorithms attempt to exploit latent features to represent users and items, which can lead to the lack of transparency of the recommender systems. In order to build a […]

The bobolink (Dolichonyx oryzivorus) is a migratory songbird that is currently a species at risk in Canada due to steep population declines. Because bobolink nest on the ground in pastures, hayfields, and other grassland-type habitats, nest success and abundance may be influenced by various environmental factors. Our goal is to understand whether these factors directly […]
