Given a set of financial instruments with inherent characteristics at different time intervals, we are interested in finding an optimal trading rule in a high-frequency trading context. A trading rule is defined as a combination of indicators as well as an entry threshold (and potentially other trading parameters). The objective function we are trying to […]

This project’s overarching goal is to spur cooperative enterprises to move into the collaborative economy. Even though the “collaborative economy” shares many values with cooperative enterprises, too few of them have entered the pace in Quebec and Canada, but also globally. This paradox puzzles Quebec’s cooperation and mutuality council (CQCM). They want to reverse this […]

This field research project is a continuation of an on-going multi-year action-research program, undertaken in a large Manufacturer of Industrial products in the Energy Sector. Like many Canadian corporations, faced with pervasive globalization, economic uncertainty, fierce competition and strict legislations, this Family-owned Company aims at revitalizing its product lines, entering new specialized market niches and […]

Customer or member retention refers to the ability of a company to retain its customers, and customer attrition, as the counterpart of customer retention, refers to the loss of customers. Developing a more accurate and comprehensible predictive model can help companies like Servus better understand member retention and attrition. This project is aiming at using […]

This internship is part of CRIAQ’s structuring project “CRIAQ-1645 Digital Aerospace”, whose goal is to identify converging trends between aerospace and information and communication technologies (ICT). This project will help in program orientation, for inferring R&D needs in the short, medium and long-term, so to develop digital capabilities that will be more and more important […]

The procurement process of an organization is key to understand company costs. Organizations gather large amounts of data coming from different sources (e.g. income statement, balance sheet, general ledger lines). This information is heterogeneous in nature as it is a mix of unstructured and structured data. Moreover, it needs to be cleaned and consolidated in […]

Factoring large polynomials is one of the main tools provided by mathematical software packages like Maple. It is used by scientists, engineers and mathematicians directly to simplify and study large formulas. It is also used inside Maple to do other tasks such as solving systems of polynomial equations. This project proposes to dramatically improve the […]

Insurance companies heavily fund marketing campaigns such as, for instance, customer retention or cross-sell initiatives. Uplift modeling aims at predicting the causal effect of an action such as medical treatment or a marketing campaign on a particular individual by taking into consideration the response to an action. Typically, the result of an uplift model is […]

The production of Chlor-Alkli by using electrolysis of aqueous solutions of sodium chloride (or brine) is one of the largest industrial scale electro-synthesis worldwide. Plants with more than 1000 individual reactors, in which 0.2 mm thin membranes separate chlorine and hydrogen, are common. This process is quite sensitive and any wrong operating conditions can cause […]

The proposed research project focuses on the development of a novel model for the computation of sea ice parameters in near real- time relying on satellite data. The interdisciplinary team will investigate solutions for high performance computing to monitor sea ice and calculate ice parameters with the high spatial resolution. This project includes R&D activities […]

Due to the current economic downturn, especially the lower crude oil price, the drilling success rate become the most important goal for any oil/gas company. For a start-up company, any failure in drilling will be a disaster. To this end, the Deep Treasure Corp wishes that through the combination of mature hydrocarbon prediction techniques and […]
