Rapid prototyping, or 3D printing, has inspired the imagination of the general public, from simple build-it-yourself “hobby” machines using polymer-based binder material with inkjet functionality, to portable printers that can fashion components in zero gravity on the International Space Station. The functionality is user-friendly, in that printed material is dropped onto a substrate in viscous […]

We will focus on creating a series of time dependent models for detecting fraudulent claims depending on the level of dynamic information available, and fine tuning these models before testing them with live data and putting the retained models into production. Our objective is to better filter our actual label-claims to form a better control […]

Our research consists of developing novel techniques to further improve the rendering time and quality of volumetric light transport, in special the effect of multiple scattering on path tracing. Our proposal is to explore the human perceptual system to speed up the computation using a visual perception metric. To determine which parameters are feasible of […]

While taking foreign language tests, people may respond in languages other than the expected one. Typical scoring systems are trained only on the expected language, so unexpected language responses can have unusual results in speech recognition and scoring. Pearson would like to develop a more robust system for the automated speech recognition machine to know […]

Les pharmacies au détail s’appuient principalement sur leurs propres données empiriques pour planifier et prévoir leurs stocks. Ce type de données a ses propres caractéristiques, qui peuvent être saisonnières et être affectées par des événements spéciaux et imprévus tels que les maladies pandémiques. Toutefois, à mesure que la quantité de données s’accumule, il n’est pas […]

Machine learning has been applied in various fields and shown promising results in recent years. Researchers have found that tuning machine learning models in a proper way can vastly boost the model performance with respect to the specific AI task. However, tuning machine learning models at scale, especially finding the right hyperparameter values, can be […]

With the advancement of modern technology, especially the increase in network speed, videos are taking more and more important places among media types. With vast potential applications, video recognition has received great attention. However, video recognition is a non-trivial task: a lot of training data are needed for complicated neural networks, but annotated data are […]

By combining the information contained in the visual, audio and text content of videos, it is possible to extract complex information about their content. It’s then possible to analyse a query from a search engine to find the video segments that best matches this query. During this project, the intern will be using state-of-the-art deep […]

Bentley fournit des logiciels spécialisés et adaptés à tout type de projet d’infrastructure au niveau mondial. Le projet proposé vise à développer un détecteur d’anomalies générique basé sur un autoencodeur adversarial, qui permet l’apprentissage automatique de la distribution des éléments normaux. Par la suite, tout élément s’écartant de cette distribution peut être qualifié d’anormal, même […]

Co-operators est une coopérative canadienne, chef de file de l’assurance multiproduit et des services financiers. Co-operators cherche à explorer de nouveaux modèles d’affaires pour mieux servir sa clientèle et réussir sa mission (la sécurité financière des canadiens et canadiennes) et cela nécessite des choix stratégiques, surtout au niveau des communautés suivantes : immigrants, peuples autochtones, […]

Intact Corporation financière est le plus important fournisseur d’assurances multirisques au Canada en primes annuelles. Intact vise à offrir un service de réclamations accéléré à ses clients. Au moment d’ouvrir une réclamation, Intact demande d’ores et déjà à ses clients de fournir des images du véhicule qui permettent d’identifier préalablement la condition générale du véhicule. […]

Early loss of vision is accompanied by widespread cross-modal changes in the brain, in that ‘visual’ areas of the brain show responses to nonvisual stimuli. This raises the possibility of using the reorganization associated with vision loss to investigate how auditory events may be encoded and retrieved from memory. The proposed project will examine the […]
