Standard cognitive assessments are normally administered over pen-and-paper or desktop computers. Although these tests are accessible, they are often administered by a trained professional to ensure protocol adherence, and shorter tasks are often repeated many times to mitigate the impact of anomalous trials. These considerations render the current practices costly and time-consuming. For this proposal, […]

My project is related to machine learning and robotics. A brief description of my project is the following: a robot comes into a room and takes snapshots of this room. Then the algorithm will make different digital representations of the room and store them in the database. After that, the robot can make photos of […]

Detecting changes in a building using remote sensing images has been an essential research topic in Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) and used for characterization and quantification of change detection on footprints of buildings or buildings’ rooftops. The purpose of the research project includes the choosing and testing RS and GIS methods […]

This project aims to develop a reinforcement learning agent with access to depth cameras to aid map building for SLAM. Research has shown dynamic environments, where the majority of frame is taken up by dynamic objects, along with low fidelity and lighting can lead to low robustness in practical application. We hope to use reinforcement […]

Health data usage is regulated by health data regulation, such as PHIPA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHIPA). To support the increasing demand in healthcare, systems utilizing digital storage and processing personal data has become essential, e.g. hospital data management systems. However, these systems are often complex and prone to data theft, misuse, and other data privacy concerns. Therefore, satisfying […]

L’Institut universitaire de cardiologie et de pneumologie de Québec-Université Laval (IUCPQ-UL) est responsable du programme de soins et des services spécialisés et surspécialisés dans le traitement des maladies cardiovasculaires, respiratoires et en lien avec l’obésité, Afin d’accomplir cette mission, un ensemble de cliniques internes et externes (ou ambulatoires) sont rassemblées sous un même toit. La […]

Sleep-related breathing disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea, can be life threatening. Although solutions exist to treat these disorders, like Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and oral appliances including Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs), there are several issues relating to cost, comfort, and convenience with the products that are on the market today. This applied design […]

Network attacks are becoming more complex every day. It is crucial that we use tools that can detect these sophisticated attacks on networks so that we can identify malicious behavior and prevent attacks and intrusions. The use of machine learning to create intrusion detection engines is great, and we need enough data to train these […]

eThor is a startup company that develops applications for mobile devices in the area of e-commerce for wholesale and retail customers, initially in the restaurant industry. The internships proposed in this application relate to the expansion of data gathering, data mining and social network capabilities for the applications development. The data gathered will be transformed […]

Today, small satellites are launched in large constellations like Starlink and Globalstar for space-based services, such as communications and weather monitoring. This rapid growth in space objects has become a real threat for space operation. In response to this issue of the growing population of space objects, Magellan is developing technologies to provide extensive and […]

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) enable exciting experiences such as virtual tourism or participation in a live concert from home. These applications are expected to benefit the society as well as being a source of significant revenues. However, such applications are very bit rate- and computation-intensive. The recent MPEG Immersive Video (MIV) format, […]

While much of how we interact with the world is grounded in the body, embodied forms of knowledge have received little attention in research and practice. The inherent difficulty in communicating embodied experiences, and the paucity of tools to do so, poses a significant barrier to sharing it—a problem which is only exacerbated by our […]
