Hierarchical Object-based Unsupervised Learning for Computational Auditory Scene Analysis – Houle
Despite recent advances in machine perception, largely due to advances in machine learning techniques, much remains to be done in the field of Computational Auditory Scene Analysis (CASA), which aims at bringing mechanisms of the human auditory system to machine perception by automatically understan
BrainInSight : a brain-computer interface to decode attention and perception in real time – BrainInSight
At the junction between neuroscience, computer science, and robotics, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and neural prosthetics have emerged as a tremendous opportunity to build on core scientific knowledge to alleviate the life of patients with motor disabilities (Lebedev and Nicolelis, 2006; Nicolel
SMART 3D ultrafast Laser fabrication of embedded optical functions in chalcogenide materials using self-improving spatio-temporal adaptive control: Applications in integrated spectrometry concepts for IR astrophotonics applications – SMART_LASIR
The objective is to master laser-induced refractive index changes and optical functions in MIR in bulk mid-infrared materials (e.g. chalcogenides) that respond to requirements in integrated spectrometry concepts. This involves: -generating knowledge on laser structural modifications. -tuning index p
Data mining for assessing and monitoring the hydrobiologic quality of running waters – Fresqueau
The project will contribute to answer to two specific issues: (1) going further into the understanding of running waters functioning through the analysis of the taxons at the base of biological indices (2) connecting sources of pressures on the environment to the physicochemical and biological quali
Plasticity and Multimodality in Oral Communication for the Deaf – PlasMody
The major goal of the PlasMody project is to better understand the mechanisms of speech perception and production in deaf before and after cochlear implantation. A specific emphasis will be made on the role of multisensory interactions and crossmodal compensation in the access to orality by cochlear
Role of Action in Object Semantic Organization – RAOSO
The projet aims at testing a model of semantic knowledge organization based on action representations. This model is evaluated at the cognitive, developmental and cerebral levels in order to provide complementary responses to the question of manipulable object knowledge organization. Thanks to this
Keep your Information Safe and Secure – KISS
An increasing amount of personal data is automatically gathered and stored on servers by administrations, hospitals, insurance companies, etc. Smart appliances surrounding individuals also accumulate spatio-temporal sensitive information (e.g., healthcare monitoring, geolocation). Citizen themselves
Towards a new generation of Smarts Gel-Coats : Thermo- and/or photo-switcheables – OptoMaTS
The project OptoMaTS is dedicated to the development of a gel-coat (or finish coat) made of polyester containing thermo- or photo-sensible polychromatic pigments. The project leader of OptoMaTS is the company AEC POLYMERS. This company that was granted with the Innovation Award in 2003 and in 2009 i
High Performances Embedded Measurement Systems for multiDegrees of Freedom Microsystems – MyMeSys
The objectives of MiMeSys is to study and develop a multi-axis, embeddable, highly accurate and high bandwidth micromanipulators based on integrated position and force sensors and control strategies. The results are going to accelerate the development of high precision, high throughput micromanipula
Communal nutrition in ants – NUTRIANTS
The proposed work on nutrition and social organization in ants addresses a question that has long been recognized, but rarely studied: how are the collective nutritional needs of a colony regulated through the actions of their individual members? The main strength of the proposal is the rigorous stu
