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.

ИНТЕРПРЕТАЦИЯ ОБРАЗА КАРЛИКА В САКРАЛЬНОМ ИСКУССТВЕ ИНДИИ V-X ВЕКОВ

Искусствознание. 2014. № 1-2. С. 211–243.
Vorobeva D.

The article is devoted to images of dwarfish beings adorning Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism temples of ancient and medieval India. Their weird poses that are at times funny, but sometimes quite inappropriate, raise the question about their meaning and functions in the sacral space of a temple. The author attempts to interpret the images of the dwarfs from diverse points of view based on literary sources of various nature: myths and fiction, as well as doctrinal and technical texts.

Скульптура карлика из Мансара. Проблема идентификации образа.

Найденные в археологических раскопках скульптуры оказываются вырванными из контекста, поэтому возникают сложности с их идентификацией. Так возникла проблема с идентификацией карликообразной фигуры V в., найденной в Мансаре  в 1972 году, попавшей в коллекцию Делийского музея. Это ...
