Intact : Prédiction de la satisfaction du client dans le processus de réclamation des pertes totales

Le domaine de l’assurance de biens et dommages est vaste et touche à des questions diverses, notamment en automobile. Dans le cadre des réclamations, les échanges sont fréquents entre le client et l’expert en sinistre et le processus est trop long. Ce projet vise à développer un modèle permettant de prédire a) le degré de satisfaction du client, b) la probabilité de négociation avec l’agent de réclamation et c) le cas échéant, le montant négocié qui satisfera le client. Une compagnie d’assurances doit faire de bonnes estimations de la valeur marchande des véhicules et des attentes de ses clients afin de mieux gérer le processus de réclamations au bénéfice de tous. Les retombées potentielles du projet sont nombreuses à travers Intact. En effet, la satisfaction client représente un enjeu majeur pour la compagnie et ce projet est un premier pas dans la direction de l’analyse prédictive de cette importante variable.

Biosensor gene circuit for 3D bioprinted devices

Cell-based therapies have the potential to revolutionize the treatment of chronic diseases such as endocrine and autoimmune disorders, neurological degeneration, and cancer. These treatments utilize cells as localized biofactories to secrete therapeutic molecules. However, one major roadblock in efficiently utilizing cell-based therapies is the cells survival and wellbeing in bioprinted devices. This is due to the vastly different environment in bioprinted devices, resulting in limited access to oxygen and nutrients. This project aims to develop a biosensor system that will measure and report the type and degree of stress that cells undergo in bioprinted devices. It will help Aspect Biosystems develop better bioprinted cell therapies for metabolic disorders, including diabetes and liver diseases.

Advancing equity in transportation planning

City staff are guided by policies when making decisions about their community. Some cities have taken the initiative to adopt a policy that embeds equity considerations into decision making. However, many other cities are still earlier in their path to creating more equitable communities and need support. Researchers and planning practitioners have heard from city partners that they are unsure how to apply overarching equity policies in their daily work. Integrating equity policy into specific areas of city-planning, such as transportation, is an area that requires more guidance. The proposed research will analyze the contents of municipal equity policies and complete interviews with city staff to identify the best practices for integrating equity considerations into transportation. This research will help LevelUp Planning Collaborative guide cities through the process of crafting effective equity policies. For example, LevelUp is leading the development of New Westminster’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Anti-Racism (DEIAR) Framework.

Machine learning classification of Canadian mammal bones

Natural history collections and the specimens stored within are vital to our understanding of biodiversity, ecology, and evolution. To both preserve and increase their accessibility, efforts are being made to digitize the world’s natural history collections. In herbariums (natural history collections for plants), machine learning is being used to assist the digitization process by classifying unlabelled specimens. In this project, we will use machine learning to classify Canadian mammal skulls and mandibles. Additionally, we will use machine learning to help resolve issues of taxonomy in groups such as wolves, lemmings/voles, and deer mice. This project will serve as a case study for machine learning classification of mammal bones as well as a possible precursor to a citizen science machine learning application.

UAV-based persistent surveillance system

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become ubiquitous. However, many challenges still need to be addressed to capitalize on their unique capabilities to support the creation of new Internet-of-Things services. The main difficulty is managing a swarm of UAVs in challenging environments. This project focuses on developing and evaluating a new UAV-based persistent surveillance system (UPSS) with distinguishing features. UPSS will rely on new energy-efficient consumption and coverage mechanisms for a swarm of UAVs when tested under various mission scenarios and constraints. This project is differentiated by its methodology, which combines well-established simulators and accurate experiments in a synergistic way to validate the algorithms derived from graph theory, artificial intelligence, operational research, and control theory. We are convinced that the resulting solutions will strengthen the position of Canadian aeronautical engineering companies and its suppliers like NOTOS as leaders in the UAV domain of interest.

Effet différentiel des prix littéraires sur les ventes en librairie et les prêts en bibliothèque

Ce projet vise à approfondir les connaissances sur les facteurs influençant les ventes de livres, tant les ventes aux con-sommateurs dans les librairies indépendantes que les ventes aux bibliothèques, en se concentrant sur l’effet des prix littéraires. Les prix littéraires peuvent envoyer un signal de qualité, cependant la compréhension de l’effet des prix sur les ventes est limitée. En utilisant un ensemble de données unique, il sera possible de démontrer l’effet de différents prix littéraires sur les ventes de livres en librairie et au bibliothèque. L’étude permettra aux intervenant(e)s du secteur de me-surer concrètement l’impact des prix sur les ventes et de comprendre les effets de différentes caractéristiques des prix. Cette étude se réalisera conjointement avec le Partenariat de SynapseC, un organisme valorisant les données des arts et de la culture au Québec et au Canada et ayant comme mandat de permettre une meilleur vision d’ensemble.

Geology, mineralogy, lithogeochemistry, and genesis of mineralization in the Silurian Whisker Valley Cu-Au system, Newfoundland Appalachians

This project is focused on understanding the relationships between copper, gold, and other critical metals in central Newfoundland and their relationships of ore forming fluids to magmatism, faulting and ancient volcanic activity. The work will involve three MSc-level interns that will undertake fieldwork, laboratory work and computer modeling (i.e., machine learning) while being embedded with the industry partner to understand the origin of and potential vectors to copper-gold-critical metal mineralization, and how to identify prospective environments for future mineralization. The results will be used to create new knowledge, models, and exploration and development workflows that the partner organization can use to more efficiently explore and develop metals in the Newfoundland Appalachians and similar geological environments globally.

Creaform3d : Segmentation d’image basée sur l’IA appliquée aux technologies de scan 3D

Creaform est une compagnie qui développe des technologies de scan et de mesure 3d pour l’inspection industrielle et la rétro-ingénierie. Les numériseurs sont tenus en main et reliés à un ordinateur portable qui permet de visualiser la géométrie de la surface des objets mesurés pendant l’acquisition. Généralement, les numériseurs sont utilisés dans un environnement contrôlé, mais certaines applications nécessitent de travailler dans des conditions plus difficiles, et même à l’extérieur qui peuvent affecter les performances. Le projet vise à développer de nouvelles approches basées sur l’IA afin de repousser les limites des algorithmes de vision numérique actuellement utilisés dans nos technologies.

Développement de lève-personnes multifonctions

Avec le vieillissement de la population, le personnel en soin de santé est de plus en plus demandé pour s’occuper des patients. Un aspect important des soins est la mobilité des patients. La mobilité peut être séparée en deux catégories, soit le transfert de patient qui permet d’amener le patient d’un endroit à un autre, et la réadaptation qui permet à un patient de rester actif en ayant une assistance pour faire certaines tâches physiques comme la marche, la verticalisation et s’accroupir. Présentement, pour remplir les deux tâches de mobilité aux patients, différents appareils doivent être utilisés. Un équipement permettant à la fois le transfert de patients et la réadaptation permettrait de simplifier le travail des préposés et d’apporter plus de mobilité aux patients, et donc d’améliorer la qualité des soins. L’objectif du projet est d’approfondir et d’intégrer de nouvelles technologies de motorisation dans les futures générations de produits Arjo afin d’augmenter leurs fonctionnalités.
