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.

Online Protest Mobilization: Building A Computational Model

P. 1–5.
Philippov I., Yureskul E., Petrov A.

The paper is dedicated to contemporary developments in agent-based modeling of protest with regards to social media activity. We propose a mathematical model of user activity on Twitter, taking into account the ideology of users when sharing (retweeting) political messages and memes.

In this paper, we consider the approach of applying state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms to simulate some financial markets. In this case, we choose the cryptocurrency market based on the assumption that such markets more active today. As a rule, they have more volatility, attracting riskier traders. Considering classic trading strategies, we also introduce an agent ...

In this paper we investigate the role of self-learning agents in multi-agent models of financial markets. We develop an agent-based simulation model of a financial market and, in addition to the agents with fixed strategies used in previous research, we introduce an agent with a self-learning strategy. To model the behavior of such an agent, ...

THe book by Benjamin Nathans suggests an innovative approach to the study of Soviet dissidence of the 1960s and 1970s . Political protest is presented as a multifaceted communication in which such important concepts as freedom, law, civil rights, responsibility, and political participation are redefined between the dissidents, repre- sentatives of party and state power, ...

Agent-Based Model of Protest Campaign with Dynamic Network
Petrov A., Sergey Zheglov, Akhremenko A. S., , in: 2024 17th International Conference on Management of Large-Scale System Development (MLSD).: IEEE, 2024. Ch. 1 P. 1–4.
Agent-based models on networks most often assume static networks. However, in some contexts political science provides arguments that the dynamical character of the network should be taken into account. Specifically, during a protest campaign, new social ties between the participants may occur. Here we present an agent-based model of protest campaign and some numerical experiments with it. It is shown that ...

Протестные студенческие движения в странах Латинской Америки. На примере Венесуэлы, Мексики, Чили
Клещенко Л. Л., Латинская Америка 2021 № 1 С. 22–34
Данное исследование посвящено изучению роли студенческих движений в странах Латинской Америки на современном этапе. За минувшее десятилетие молодежные протесты потрясли многие государства континента. Студенческие движения артикулируют как социальную, так и политическую повестку, становятся влиятельной оппозиционной политической силой. Помимо таких традиционных требований, как расширение доступа к образованию, студенты последовательно выступают за демократизацию политического процесса в своих странах. ...

Отключение интернета как теоретическая проблема политической науки, или что мы (не) понимаем в сетевой протестной мобилизации

The influence of Internet communication on “street” protest activity is the focus of this paper. In recent years, there has been some stagnation in this area of research: a shortage of breakthrough works that indicate new research directions or at least significantly strengthen the empirical foundation of already established hypotheses. The paradox is that when ...

Modeling Intermittent Protest Campaigns
Petrov A., Sergey Zheglov, Akhremenko A. S., , in: 16th International Conference Management of large-scale system development (MLSD).: IEEE, 2023. Ch. 1 P. 1–5.
The paper studies protest campaigns consisting of both days with protest activity and days without activity. A dynamical agent-based model has been constructed. Numerical experiments showed that repression reduces the surviving probability of the campaign, but moderate repression may increase the turnout for the campaigns that survive. ...

Dual Identity in Repressive Contexts: An Agent-Based Model of Protest Dynamics
Alexander Petrov, Andrei Akhremenko, Sergey Zheglov, Social Science Computer Review 2023 Vol. 41 No. 6 P. 2249–2273
Protest campaign movements are often carried out by coalitions rather than by homogeneous groups. Accordingly, an opposition member has both a narrow partisan identity and a broad allopposition identity. Seeking to prevent mass political participation, autocracies can repress protesters regardless of their group membership or apply the “divide and conquer” principle, targeting specific groups. Any ...

The development of information and communication technologies and computing power leads to the emergence of additional opportunities for modeling political processes. In the past decades, mathematical models have been developed mainly in a game-theoretic setting; today we witness an expanding stream of research applying agent-based (multi-agent) approach. This trend is quite natural. There have been ...

Полноценный анализ протестной активности в XXI в. невозможен без учета сложной взаимосвязи между онлайн- и офлайн-поведением различных акторов. Социальные медиа и, более широко, все интернет-пространство становятся площадкой для новых форм состязательной политики и делают возможными формы поведения, трансформирующие классические методы протеста. При этом цифровые площадки не являются нейтральными по отношению к самой коммуникации: взаимодействие пользователей ...
