Determining the force of infection from a dynamic model

Through a method of mathematical modeling, we intend to obtain essential data to determine the risk of non-immune tourists acquiring dengue during the stay of these tourists in Brazil in the 2014 FIFA World Cup in 12 host cities, and in the 2016 Summer Olympics that is Rio de Janeiro as the host. In 2014, during the World Cup, 600,000 tourists are expected in Brazil. To determine the risk, a careful analysis of the number of dengue cases, by city, for the period between 2003 and 2013 is required. These data were obtained from the Ministry of Health of Brazil.
Expected results.
1 – The force of infection for each host city.
2 – The risk of dengue for tourists in Brazil.

Développement d’algorithmes de moindres carrés non-linéaires sous con-traintes appliquées pour la prévision de la demande en électricité

La prévision de la demande d’électricité à court terme est un des enjeux majeurs de l’exercice des activités d’Hydro-Québec. Cette tâche requiert de calibrer les paramètres de modèles de prévision complexes par rapport à un grand nombre de données. Or, un des systèmes de calibration utilisé quotidiennement éprouve des difficultés d’adaptation face à la nouvelle conjoncture climatique et sociétale. Un des axes de recherche pour faire face à ces enjeux porte sur la modernisation de l’algorithme d’optimisation intervenant dans le processus de calibration. Le but de ce projet est alors d’implémenter deux méthodes d’op-timisation modernes et adaptées aux nouveaux besoins d’Hydro-Québec, afin d’améliorer les performances de l’outil de pré-vision à court terme actuellement en place.

Développement d’un procédé de fabrication d’un récepteur CPV

Ce stage s’inscrit dans un projet de recherche qui a pour objectif le développement d’un récepteur CPV avec un réseau dense de cellules solaires, en utilisant une architecture basée sur le concept de FOWLP (Fan-Out Level Packaging). Les cellules à concentration (CPV) présentent l’efficacité la plus élevée parmi toutes les technologies photovoltaïques, et le concept FOWLP est de plus en plus adopté dans l’industrie des semi-conducteurs pour, entre autres, réduire les coûts de fabrication des dispositifs. Cette architecture innovante vise à réduire les pertes d’ombrage en diminuant les zones “mortes” des cellules solaires de matériaux III-V, favorisant ainsi la conversion de photons en courant électrique. Grâce à un procédé d’assemblage du module photovoltaïque plus efficace par rapport au procédé classique, les coûts de fabrication seront réduits, rendant ainsi cette technologie plus compétitive. Le travail de ce stage se concentrera sur les aspects de fabrication et de packaging des récepteurs CPV.

Data fitting to Dengue fever

The objective of the research project is to study an efficient and fast way to calculate values of some parameters which are hard to be estimated in nature in relation to dengue, they are: the biting rate, probability that a host to get infected, probability that a vector to get infected. These parameters are needed to estimate the “Basic Reproduction Number”, in a very simple way this number is defined as the expected number of secondary cases of a disease produced by a single infection in a completely susceptible population.

Machine Learning-based Approaches for Channel Estimation and Spectrum Sharing

Using simplified language understandable to a layperson; provide a general, one-paragraph description of the proposed research project to be undertaken by the intern(s) as well as the expected benefit to the partner organization. (100–150 words)
The proposed research is focused on developing machine learning and deep learning-based approaches to improve the operation of 5G networks in two main sub-project areas: channel reconstruction and spectrum sharing. In the first sub-project, we propose a methodology to reconstruct the wireless channel based solely on limited downlink CSI metrics. The purpose of this study is to recreate channels experienced during over-the-air testing by extracting their key channel characteristics. These characteristics will be used to create a similar simulated channel for further testing. This will improve the simulated channel’s accuracy, making it resemble the real-world scenario in which the CSI was collected. In the second sub-project, i.e., spectrum sharing, we propose the use of different Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithms to develop novel and innovative approaches for optimal and distributed spectrum sharing and optimizing the operation of RIS-assisted UAV networks and RIS-assisted m-MIMO networks for 5GB systems.
The outcomes of the project will include models for channel reconstruction as well as new approaches for spectrum sharing. The impact of this project is an increase in the data rates and significant reduction in delays over 5G networks, which will improve the services provided to end users and clients over such networks.

Automated Anomaly Detection in Energy Consumption Data using Data Mining and Machine Learning Techniques

The Ontario government recently mandated electric and natural gas utilities provide easy access to energy usage data so consumers can access energy-saving services in a competitive market. However, there has been no analysis of how well utilities have implemented Green Button. More specifically, are regulatory requirements being met, and is data accurate, complete, consistent with other available sources? This lack of scrutiny imperils Ontario’s efforts to decarbonize its economy because poor-quality data can inhibit clean energy solutions such as energy management, demand response, and virtual power plants. This project is the first to evaluate Ontario’s energy usage, billing, and account data quantitatively/qualitatively from utilities to benchmark performance. This project seeks to minimize resource use and time by employing a mixed-method machine learning approach, i.e., semi-supervised learning. The findings from this study will apply to other Canadian provinces.
