HSE Scientists Train Neural Network to 'Hear' Faults in Electric Motors
Researchers at the AI and Digital Science Institute of the HSE Faculty of Computer Science have developed a new method—the Signature-Guided Data Augmentation (SGDA) framework—that achieves 99% accuracy in motor fault detection and 86% accuracy in fault classification. The application of this approach can reduce industrial equipment repair costs, minimise downtime, and improve production safety. The study results have been published in Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence.

Is It Possible to Predict a Citys Life Based on the Shape of Its Neighbourhoods?
Is it possible to predict, based on the configuration of streets and buildings, where a café will open or where traffic congestion will occur? Participants in the Spatial Analysis and Modelling of Urban Processes research and study group use open data and machine learning to identify universal patterns. Alexander Sheludkov and Eduard Somov discuss the purpose of comparing cities, the need for new forms of urban statistics, and how open data is transforming approaches to urban studies.

Evidentiality in the Rikvani dialect of Andi

Iran and the Caucasus. 2020. Vol. 24. No. 3. P. 309–324.
Verhees S.

This paper presents a description of evidentiality marking in the Rikvani dialect of Andi. As a language spoken in the Caucasus, Andi is situated in the centre of a large area within Eurasia where evidentiality is frequently expressed with a perfect or resultative form of the verb (general indirective), and special particles marking hearsay (and sometimes also inference). Both are attested in Andi and form independent evidential paradigms. I will explore the way these forms are used in natural texts and elicitation and how they interact with each other. An important issue is to what extent evidentiality can be considered grammaticalized as part of the verbal paradigm in Andi. I will compare my observations on Andi to the systems found in other East Caucasian languages.

One of the common features of the Nakh-Daghestanian languages is the evidential opposition between some of the past tense verb forms, which mark (in)direct access to the information. Khwarshi has two synthetic past forms that are traditionally considered to form this kind of opposition, but, according to our data, it may in fact not be based on ...

Фазовая полярность: нарушенное ожидание или контраст?

In the present paper I make several observations on the semantics of Russian particle uzhe and alike. I suggest that contrastivity effect is central to its semantics. Crosslinguistically, such particles tend to develop into perfect markers in the course of grammaticalization process. I argue that it is exactly the presence of contrastive meaning in the ...

A Language Model for Grammatical Error Correction in L2 Russian

Grammatical error correction is one of the fundamental tasks in Natural Language Processing. For the Russian language, most of the spellcheckers available correct typos and other simple errors with high accuracy, but often fail when faced with non-native (L2) writing, since the latter contains errors that are not typical for native speakers. In this paper, ...

The ‘Still Not’ Present in Andi: identifying the grammaticalization source
Maisak T., Verhees S., Folia Linguistica 2024 Vol. 58 No. s45-s1 P. 185–220
Andi (East Caucasian) features a verb form that marks an event that is (still) not happening, contrary to the speaker’s expectation (i.e. ‘Still Not’ Present). This form is unusual for several reasons. First, forms of this kind are not typical for the language family. Second, while it conveys negative semantics, the form does not contain ...

Difficulty overdose? Inconclusive effect of the disfluent font on reading in second language

Multiple studies show that reading in hard-to-read (dysfluent) fonts can enhance  memory and comprehension of learnt material, but it is unclear if this effect extends to second language (L2) learning.

This paper describes the semantics of one of the verb forms in Shughni, traditionally called Perfect. This form displays many areally-motivated typological similarities with perfects in other languages of Western and Central Asia. In particular, Shughni has developed an evidential opposition between the Preterite and the Perfect, in which the Perfect is used for non-witnessed ...

Статья открывает сборник статей, посвященный типологии глагольной граммемы перфекта в языках мира. Отмечается, что можно выделить три круга проблем, связанных с типологическим описанием перфекта. Первая и самая очевидная сложность – это определение семантики соответствующих глагольных показателей. Сущности, отождествляемые как перфект, демонстрируют высокую степень полисемии, контексты их употреблений в разных языках, как правило, не совпадают, иногда ...

Перфект в старославянском: был ли он результативным?
Plungian V., Урманчиева А. Ю., Slovĕne 2017 Т. 6 № 2 С. 13–56
Перфект, как известно, является одной из самых загадочных форм старославянского языка, семантика которой упорно не поддается описанию. Старославянские тексты представляют собой переводы (прежде всего — с греческого), и в них в значительной степени наблюдается калькирование как в сфере лексики, так и в сфере грамматических форм и конструкций. Но именно перфект нарушает эту картину: соответствия перфектных ...

В работе предпринята попытка приблизиться к пониманию семантики старославянского перфекта — аналитической глагольной формы, состоящей из l-причастия смыслового глагола и вспомогательного глагола byti в презенсе. Выделены типичные контексты употребления данной формы; основной задачей исследования является оценка получившегося «семантического портрета» старославянского перфекта с точки зрения типологических ожиданий, сформировавшихся в отношении перфектных форм в языках мира. Показано, ...
