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.

«Мертвые или живые»: об одной формуле в правовых документах из Эмара

Вестник древней истории. 2021. Т. 81. № 2. С. 298–315.
Alexandrov B.

The article deals with the expression “dead or alive” which is used in the Emar legal texts to characterize slaves in respect to their master. Those slaves, previously free persons, were sold into slavery by their relatives or entered the slavery voluntarily in order to repay their debts. The article examines the historical context and content of the relevant sources. Special attention is paid to the orthography and the interpretations of the formula “dead or alive” advanced in the literature. The final part of the study provides a Russian translation of all the texts containing this formula.
