A fast normal splitting preconditioner for attractive coupled nonlinear Schroedinger equations with fractional Laplacian
Resumo
A linearly implicit conservative difference scheme is applied to discretize the attractive coupled nonlinear Schroedinger equations with fractional Laplacian. In this case complex symmetric linear systems appear, with indefinite and Toeplitz-plus-diagonal system matrices. Standard fast methods of direct solution or iteration using a preconditioner are not applicable for such systems. A novel iterative method is proposed, based on the normal splitting of the equivalent real block form of linear systems. Unconditional convergence is proved and the quasi-optimal iteration parameter is deducted. The preconditioner for this method is obtained naturally; it is constructed and efficiently implemented using the fast Fourier transform. Theoretical analysis shows that the eigenvalues of the preconditioned system matrix are closely clustered. Numerical experiments demonstrate new preconditioner significantly speeds up the convergence rate of iterative Krylov subspace methods. In particular, the convergence behavior of the corresponding preconditioned generalized minimum residual method is independent of the mesh size and almost insensitive to the fractional order. Moreover, the linearly implicit conservative difference scheme in this case preserves mass and energy with a given accuracy.



Logical classification based on finding regular representative elementary classifiers
Resumo
An approach to the supervised classification problem based on the apparatus of discrete mathematics (logical methods of data analysis) is considered. The possibility of time costs reducing at the stage of correct logical classifier training is investigated. New models of classifiers are proposed. These models are based on finding frequently occurring fragments of a special type in the descriptions of precedents — regular elementary classifiers. Descriptions of classifier models are given using the concepts of logical functions theory. To construct sought fragments, the authors have developed and implemented an original algorithm. The effectiveness of proposed classifier models has been experimentally substantiated and confirmed by theoretical estimates of their training complexity. An upper asymptotic estimate of the typical number of regular elementary classifiers is obtained.



Methods for solving the problem of topic segmentation of texts based on knowledge graphs
Resumo
Тематическая сегментация – это задача разделения неструктурированного текста на тематически связные сегменты (такие, в которых речь идет об одном и том же). Граф знаний – графовая структура, вершинами которой являются различные объекты, а ребрами – отношения между ними. Как задача тематической сегментации, так и задача автоматического построения графа знаний не будут новыми, поэтому существует множество алгоритмов для их решения. Однако методы решения задачи тематической сегментации с помощью графов знаний до сих пор исследованы мало. Более того, пока еще нельзя сказать, что задача тематической сегментации решена в общем виде, т.е.существуют алгоритмы, способные при должной настройке решить задачу с требуемым качеством на конкретном наборе данных. Предлагается новый метод решения задачи тематической сегментации на основе графов знаний. Применение графов знаний при сегментации позволяет использовать больше информации о словах в тексте: помимо того чтобы основываться на co-occurrance и семантических расстояниях (как классические алгоритмы), методы на базе графов знаний могут применять расстояние между словами на графе, инкорпорируя тем самым фактологическую информацию из графа знаний в процесс принятия решений о биении текста на сегменты.

Implementation of a system of incompletely specified Boolean functions in a circuit of two-input gates by means of bi-decomposition
Resumo
The problem of bi-decomposition of a Boolean function is to represent a given Boolean function as a logic algebra operation over two Boolean functions. A meth-od based on bi-decomposition of Boolean functions is suggested to implement sys-tems of incompletely specified (partial) Boolean functions in the basis of two-input gates. This basis can be the basis of NOR gates, NAND gates or the basis of AND and OR gates with accessible input complements. The used method for bi-decomposition is reduced to the search for two-block weighted cover of a complete bipartite weighted graph with complete bipartite subgraphs (bi-cliques). The graph represents differences between the rows of Boolean matrices that specify the given system of partial Boolean functions. The system is given by two Boolean matrices, one of which represents the domain of Boolean space where the values of the given functions are specified, and the other the values of the functions on the elements of the domain. Every bi-clique in the obtained cover is assigned in a certain way with а set of variables that are the arguments of the function. This set is the weight of the bi-clique. Every of those bi-cliques defines a Boolean function whose arguments are the variables assigned to it. The functions obtained in such a way constitute the re-quired decomposition. The process of synthesis of a combinational circuit consists in successive application of bi-decomposition to the obtained functions. The meth-od for two-block covering the orthogonality graph of rows of ternary matrices is de-scribed.

Hypotheses re-ranking in translation models using human markup
Resumo
Modern machine translation systems are trained on large volumes of parallel data obtained using heuristic methods of the Internet bypassing. The poor quality of the data leads to systematic translation errors, which can be quite noticeable from the human point of view. To fix such errors a human based models hypotheses re-ranking is introduced in this work. In this paper the use of human markup is shown not only to increase the overall quality of translation, but also to significantly reduce the number of systematic translation errors. In addition, the relative simplicity of human markup and its integration in the model training process opens up new opportunities in the field of domain adaptation of translation models for new domains like online retail.



Handwritten documents near-duplicate search for data intensive applications
Resumo
The problem of cheating in handwritten academic essays has become more significant over last several years. One of the cheating cases is submitting the same paper, photographed in different environment (for example, from another angle, in different light or in lower quality), or changed by means of automatic augmentation. The existing methods are not designed to work on large collections of handwritten documents. The proposed approach consists of three stages. The first stage is embedding generation, the second one is finding closest candidates in the collection of handwritten documents and the final one is similarity estimation between query image and each of candidates obtained at previous step. Our solution showed Recall@1 80% and 59% with FPR 4.8% and 5.5% on Synthetic and Real data respectively. The search latency is 5.5 seconds per query for the collection of 10 000 images. The results showed that the developed method is robust enough to work on large collections of handwritten documents.

A soft sets review
Resumo
In this review we consider the so-called soft sets. In fact, it is a generalization of L. Zadeh’s fuzzy sets, which form the mathematical apparatus of artificial intelligence. On the other hand, the rejection of the notion of infinitesimality originates the foundations of a new mathematical analysis. Subsequently, many papers on soft sets have appeared, conferences have been organized, and there are publications on applications in various fields. The paper gives the basic definitions and terms of soft sets theory, and references to its practical applications.

Optimization of enterprise production programs taken into account of uncertainty
Resumo
The branch and bound method used to select the optimal production program is considered, based on the calculation of the upper, lower and current upper estimates when analyzing various options for production programs. An upper bound for the number of feasible solutions to the problem under consideration is given. Models for choosing an optimal production program in conditions of production expansion are considered, as well as issues of analyzing the stability of these programs when changing the initial data of the model and when changing the criterion for the optimality of the model. The use of models for selecting the optimal production program within the framework of project management at enterprises will ensure increased efficiency of activities, including at the stages of planning and implementation of projects, classification and selection of a method for implementing projects.



Technology of confident judgment when decision making in the education system
Resumo
The rapid digitalization of all aspects of society is leading to fundamental changes in the field of education.
In order to form and implement fundamentally new methods of education and teaching, it is necessary to use modern knowledge-intensive methods of preparing and making complex decisions, in particular, to actively work with information presented not only in numerical, quantitative, but also in ordinal scales such as “better worse”, “more important — less important”. From these positions, the article uses the method proposed by the authors confident judgments of the decision maker. It is shown that its use in selecting the most worthy applicants to continue their education in higher education will expand the powers of universities and will more accurately take into account the individual characteristics and preferences of schoolchildren and their parents; when used within the framework of an integral system for identifying and long-term development of creatively gifted youth in the field of science and technology, it will make it possible to create an objective meter (creative rating) for a comprehensive assessment of the degree of creative growth of each young researcher and create on this basis a scientifically managed system for supporting his guided development; in the organization of scientific activities of a university, an integral system of optimal planning of the activities of its institutes will appear, based on target guidelines and the general development strategy of the university and at the same time taking into account the specific features of the general satisfaction with the work of the staff of each institute.

Finding the optimal feature vector for detecting the environmental соnтtext from global navigation satellite systems datа
Resumo
In global navigation satellite systems, positioning quality indicators depend on both environmental conditions and user behaviour. The environment affects the reception quality of the radio signals that are available for positioning. An adaptive navigation solution is required to operate in different environmental conditions, which will detect the type of environment and apply different methods for navigation solution. The features formed from the received navigation signal data that can be used to determine the type of environment are discussed. This paper is devoted to finding an optimal feature vector for determining the type of environment from information from global navigation satellite systems. Experimental navigation data for different types of environment are collected. Criteria and methods for determining the optimal feature vector using algorithms from mathematical statistics are considered. The optimal feature vector that contributes the most to the determination of different types of environment is proposed.



Stabilization of a chain of three integrators by a feedback in the form of nested saturators
Resumo
The problem of stabilizing a chain of three integrators subject to a phase constraint by a continuous constrained control is considered. The application of a feedback in the form of nested saturators results in study of a switching system. Necessary conditions of local stability are established. A Lyapunov function is constructed by means of which it is proved that the necessary conditions are sufficient for global stability of the closed-loop system. The discussion is illustrated by numerical examples.
