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.

Gendered Bodies on Trial: Exploring Litigation Strategies in the Early Soviet People’s Court

P. 213–226.
Vasilyev P.
Translator: M. Whittle

This chapter is based on relatively understudied criminal case files from the archive of the People’s Courts of the city of Petrograd from 1917 to 1922, which were transferred to the Central State Archive of St. Petersburg (TsGA SPb) from the Leningrad Region State Archive in Vyborg (LOGAV) during the second half of the 2000s. Focusing primarily on one especially notable criminal case in 1920, I seek to trace what role gender-coded emotions played in criminal procedure during the revolutionary period and how defendants used them for the affirmation, performance, and negotiation of their identities. Utilizing a case-study approach, I offer the reader a reconstruction of an early Soviet courtroom and emphasize the significance of physical mutilation, emotional suffering, and material deprivation for our understanding of gender and gender identity in Russia during the Civil War period.
