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. […]

Nemaska Lithium Inc. est une compagnie québécoise innovatrice qui prévoit devenir un producteur important d’hydroxyde de lithium de haute pureté (grade batterie) sur le marché mondiale. Nemaska Lithium a développé un procédé de fabrication de l’hydroxyde de lithium de haute pureté en utilisant l’électrolyse membranaire, une méthode très sensible aux impuretés dans la solution initiale. […]

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. The goal is to incorporate information such as press releases and industry media coverages to provide an insight to these companies under audit and their […]

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 […]

Sense and Avoid is a capability that is required by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) to ensure that they do not enter into collision with other manned and unmanned aircraft. Obstacle avoidance of stationary objects is an important first step toward building Sense and Avoid systems. For stationary objects, after the object has been detected and […]

An early symptom of Alzheimer’s Disease is difficulty in remembering recent events. These trends are reflected in problems in language and patterns of speech. Speech patterns of an individual can hence be used to determine the trajectories of preclinical cognitive decline. The difference in the cognitive trends over subject groups, analyzed using speech data collected […]
