Évaluation de la formation : « Bienveillance en milieu de travail »

La pandémie de la COVID-19 et l’intensification marquée du travail ont provoqué des changements importants dans le monde des affaires. Entre autres, les querelles et les disputes ne sont pas rares en organisation. Soucieux de cette réalité, l’organisme partenaire a développé une formation portant sur la bienveillance afin de favoriser un environnement de travail harmonieux.
Le projet de recherche vise à évaluer la satisfaction des participants, évaluer le contenu de la formation et son adéquation avec les objectifs d’apprentissage ainsi que d’évaluer les impacts de la formation sur certaines variables individuelles et groupales (p. ex., bienveillance, amertume, bien-être, climat de travail).
Les résultats de l’évaluation permettront de cibler des pistes d’améliorations possibles afin de maximiser les retombées positives de la formation dans les organisations participantes.

Development of a system for the automatic recognition and classification of normal and abnormal cells in human blood samples

Automation of medical diagnosis/detection process is very important in terms of enhancing diagnostic accuracy, increasing throughput, reducing cost, and training new staff. Our current goal is to go from the proof of concept stage (automatic recognition and classification of human blood images) to a complete working optimized prototype and to start testing it in an actual clinical lab environment with help from CLS. The prototype design will take into account user friendliness, high throughput, robustness, integration with existing lab work flow and reasonable cost. Our goal is to decrease the processing time to 0.1 seconds through code optimizations and parallel programming and also increase the accuracy to be better than 95% which is the acceptable range in comparison with manual processing. Smartlabs aims to start a line of products based on this development

Microplastiques et nanoplastiques en suspension dans l’air sur le territoire de l’île de Montréal : étude exploratoire.

L’étude des microplastiques (MP) en suspension dans l’air extérieur en est à ses balbutiements. Des données recueillies en Europe, en Asie, en Océanie et au Moyen-Orient ont mis en évidence des concentrations significatives, ce qui pose de nombreuses questions sur l’exposition des populations et les conséquences en termes de santé publique. En effet, quelques travaux ont souligné le potentiel néfaste des MP sur la santé humaine. Au meilleur de nos connaissances, les études sur cette problématique sont inexistantes au Canada. Quant aux nanoplastiques (NP), ils ne font pas état de travaux particuliers et sont souvent amalgamés avec les MP.
L’objectif de ce projet est d’évaluer la pollution de l’air extérieur due aux MP/NP, dans un centre urbain comme l’île de Montréal. Ce projet va consister à faire des prélèvements dans les stations de mesures du Réseau de surveillance de la qualité de l’air (RSQA) de la ville de Montréal.

Higher Hida and Coleman theories for function fields

The project aims to study the function fields analogue of modular forms, known as Drinfeld modular forms, which are also
significant objects in number theory. The objective of the project is to develop families of these forms, allowing for variation in their
weights, which can lead to numerous interesting applications. To achieve this goal, the project will utilize the perspective of Boxer-
Pilloni, which relates these modular forms to specific coherent cohomologies over the Drinfeld modular variety.

Low-Power Signal Processing Algorithms for an Athletic Performance Monitor

GestureLogic is building a product that optimizes athletic performance. The product is a wearable sensory network that monitors muscle activity. The goal of this research is to take this inherently complex muscle data that is acquired by the sensory network and translate it to useful biometrics for the consumer with the help of intelligent algorithms. The algorithms will help intuitively visualize important metrics such as strength of muscle contractions, heart rate and fatigue. The benefit to the partner organization is twofold. The research will help advance the organizations core product, increasing the organizations time to market. By solving some of the key problems associated with the product, the internship will also help de-risk the company’s product cycle for future investors.

Smooth Guide Hair Interpolation for Procedural Grooming

Most recent animated films such as Peter Rabbit 2 or DC League of Super-Pets come to life with many hairy and furry characters. In this project we will build on recent advances in computer graphics to develop better tools for grooming hair and fur. We aim to improve the experience of artists in the animation and visual effects industries by reducing the time spent manually grooming hair and by providing tools to deal with complicated geometries such as the corner of a character’s mouth. Animal Logic will benefit from freeing up artists’ time and energy to focus more on storytelling and less on meticulously grooming each character.

AlleyCorp Nord : MLOps pour les incubateurs

AlleyCorp Nord (ACN) a créé et développé plus de 20 entreprises sur un modèle d’incubation propriétaire (dont la plus connue MongoDB). Les entreprises fondées par AlleyCorp ont levé collectivement plus d’un milliard de dollars en capital-risque et emploient des milliers de personnes à travers l’Amérique du nord. Beaucoup de ces entreprises visent à utiliser l’apprentissage automatique (ML) à des fins d’innovation et de leviers de croissance. Cependant, malgré l’augmentation des outils de ML pour tenter de rendre l’expérimentation plus rapide et plus rationnelle, il n’est toujours pas très simple pour les chercheurs en ML ou les personnes non-ML ayant une expérience technique ou du domaine de valider de nouvelles idées sans investir beaucoup de temps et d’argent. L’objectif du stage est d’apporter une contribution en génie logiciel pour la simplification du processus ML.

3D printing of high-performance composites for advanced aerial drones

Advanced aerial drones have extensive applications in industry, e.g., water resources management, warehouse operations, search & rescue, and geographic mapping. Current drone body frames mainly use low-temperature polymers with limited thermal and structural performance. In this project, high-temperature high-performance polymers and continuous carbon fiber composites will be used for 3D printing drone body frames. It can improve tensile strength and modulus by 16 and 34 folds, respectively, compared with standard polymers. It is a collaboration with SOTI Aerospace, which is focused on self-navigating aerial drones. The objective is to design, analyze, 3D print, and test drone body frames that meet or exceed SOTI requirements while minimizing weight. 3D printing allows for the fabrication of complex geometries with minimal materials waste. This way, SOTI can significantly improve its current drone models while reducing weight, materials waste, and cost.
