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.

Games for query inseparability of description logic knowledge bases

P. 78–119.
Zakharyaschev M., Kontchakov R.

We consider conjunctive query inseparability of description logic knowledge bases with respect to a given signature - a fundamental problem in knowledge base versioning, module extraction, forgetting and knowledge exchange. We give a uniform game-theoretic characterisation of knowledge base conjunctive query inseparability and develop worst-case optimal decision algorithms for fragments of Horn-ALCHI, including the description logics underpinning OWL 2 QL and OWL 2 EL. We also determine the data and combined complexity of deciding query inseparability. While query inseparability for all of these logics is P-complete for data complexity, the combined complexity ranges from P- to ExpTime- to 2ExpTime-completeness. We use these results to resolve two major open problems for OWL 2 QL by showing that TBox query inseparability and the membership problem for universal conjunctive query solutions in knowledge exchange are both ExpTime-complete for combined complexity. Finally, we introduce a more flexible notion of inseparability which compares answers to conjunctive queries in a given signature over a given set of individuals. In this case, checking query inseparability becomes NP-complete for data complexity, but the ExpTime- and 2ExpTime-completeness combined complexity results are preserved.

On efficient algorithms for bottleneck path problems with many sources
Kirill V. Kaymakov, Dmitry S. Malyshev, Optimization Letters 2024 Vol. 18 P. 1273–1283
For given edge-capacitated connected graph and two its vertices s and t, the bottleneck (or max min ) path problem is to find the maximum value of path-minimum edge capacities among all paths, connecting s and t. It can be generalized by finding the bottleneck values between s and all possible t. These problems arise ...

Comparative Analysis of Logic Reasoning and Graph Neural Networks for Ontology-Mediated Query Answering with a Covering Axiom
Gerasimova O., Makarov I., Severin N., IEEE Access 2023 Vol. 11 P. 88074–88086
The problem of query answering over incomplete attributed graph data is a challenging field of database management systems and artificial intelligence. When there are rules on data structure expressed in the form of the ontology, the theoretical complexity of finding exact solution satisfying ontology constraints increases. Logic-based methods use theoretical constructions to obtain efficient rewritings ...

The discrete Fourier transform over the binary finite field
Sergei Valentinovich Fedorenko, IEEE Access 2023 Vol. 11 P. 62771–62779
The novel methods for binary discrete Fourier transform (DFT) computation over the finite field have been proposed. The methods are based on a binary trace calculation over the finite field and use the cyclotomic DFT. The direct DFT computational complexity has been reduced due to using the binary trace function over the finite field and ...

We consider the relationship between the algorithmic properties of the validity problem for a modal or superintuitionistic propositional logic and the size of the smallest Kripke countermodels for non-theorems of the logic. We establish the existence, for every degree of unsolvability, of a propositional logic whose validity problem belongs to the degree and whose every ...

If this set is finite, then the class is said to be finitely defined. The concept of a boundary class is a useful tool for the analysis ...

Our concern is the problem of efficiently determining the data complexity of answering queries mediated by description logic ontologies and constructing their optimal rewritings to standard database queries. Originated in ontology-based data access and datalog optimisation, this problem is known to be computationally very complex in general, with no explicit syntactic characterisations available.

Complexity of finite-variable fragments of propositional temporal and modal logics of computation
Rybakov M., Shkatov D., Theoretical Computer Science 2022 Vol. 925 P. 45–60
We prove that branching-time temporal logics CTL and CTL* are polynomial-time embeddable into their single-variable fragments. It follows that satisfiability for CTL and CTL*, and therefore also for alternating-time temporal logics ATL and ATL*, in languages with one propositional variable is as algorithmically hard as satisfiability for the full logic: EXPTIME-complete for CTL and ATL, and 2EXPTIME-complete for CTL* and ATL*. We discuss applicability of the technique used in the proofs to other ...

On computational complexity of set automata
Rubtsov A. A., Vyalyi M., Information and Computation 2021 Vol. 281 Article 104797
We consider a computational model which is known as set automata. The set automata are one-way finite automata with additional storage-the set. There are two kinds of set automata-deterministic (DSA's) and nondeterministic (NSA's). The model was introduced by Kutrib, Malcher, Wendlandt in 2014. It was shown that DSA-recognizable languages look similar to DCFL's and NSA-recognizable ...

Traditionally, description logic has focused on represent- ing and reasoning about classes rather than relations (roles), which has been justified by the deterioration of the computa- tional properties if expressive role inclusions are added. The situation is even worse in the temporalised setting, where monodicity is viewed as an almost necessary condition for decidability. We ...

Many natural combinatorial problems can be expressed as constraint satisfaction problems. This class of problems is known to be NP-complete in general, but certain restrictions on the form of the constraints can ensure tractability. The standard way to parametrize interesting subclasses of the constraint satisfaction problem is via finite constraint languages. The main problem is ...
