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.

Recensione: Solomon VOLKOV, Bol’šoj Teatr: Kul’tura i politika. Novaja istorija [Il Grande Teatro: Cultura e politica. Una storia nuova], Moskva, AST, 2018, 540 pp.,

Diacronie. Studi di Storia Contemporanea. 2019. Vol. 39. No. 3.
Golovlev A.

Review of Solomon Volkov's 2018 monograph on the Bolshoi Theatre:

Il libro di Solomon Volkov, pubblicato dalla casa editrice AST, è dedicato alla storia del Grande Teatro di Mosca, soprattutto nell’ottica delle sue relazioni col potere o, come affermato dall’autore, «la storia delle interazioni dello Zar col Teatro». Nonostante la politica musicale e teatrale del regime sovietico abbia ricevuto una certa attenzione da parte della disciplina storica e musicologica, sono rari gli studi dedicati ad un solo teatro, e soprattutto al primo teatro del paese – Il Bol’šoj. Volkov, musicologo e pubblicista sovietico naturalizzato americano noto anche per la sua biografia su Šostakovič, propone qui il risultato di un vasto progetto, sostenuto dalla direzione del Bol’šoj, elaborato tra 2014 e 2018. Il libro copre per la prima volta un arco temporale di pressoché due secoli, a cominciare dalla riapertura nel 1825 del Bol’šoj – fondato nel 1776 – come il teatro lirico più importante di Mosca e fino agli anni 20104 . In questa prospettiva di moyenne durée, Volkov attinge non solo alle sue conoscenze enciclopediche nella musica e nel teatro musicale, ma utilizza anche un gran numero di fonti personali, in primo luogo memorie pubblicate, per dipingere un ampio quadro di un’istituzione culturale e di un brand che, nonostante la sua dipendenza dagli alti livelli del potere, è sopravvissuto a tutti i regimi, da Nicola I a Vladimir Putin.
