Inertia-Based Indices to Determine the Number of Clusters in K-Means: An Experimental Evaluation
IEEE Access. 2024. Vol. 12. P. 11761–11773.
This paper gives an experimentally supported review and comparison of several indices based
on the conventional K-means inertia criterion for determining the number of clusters, K, in datasets, using
the popular Silhouette width index as a benchmark. Our experiments involve a novel version of the Elbow
index, defined using values of K two or three steps apart. We also discuss alternative ways of computing the
inertia and summarizing its values. Even though there are no overall winners in our experiments, some of
our results are very conclusive and can be used as a guide for indices determining the number of clusters in
K-means.

В условиях роста стоимости энергоресурсов и необходимости повышения энергоэффективности производственных процессов особую актуальность приобретает задача оптимизации энергопотребления промышленных предприятий. В данной работе рассматривается подход к управлению энергозатратами машиностроительного предприятия на основе методов многокритериальной оптимизации. Постановка задачи включает несколько целевых функций: минимизацию энергопотребления, минимизацию стоимости электроэнергии с учётом тарифных ограничений и максимизацию производственной эффективности. Для решения ...

In this work we study the applicability of Quasi-Cyclic Subfield Subcodes of Dual Elliptic (QC-SSDE) codes for integration into code-based cryptographic schemes. Detailed algorithms are provided for constructing parity-check matrices as well as block-circulant parity-check matrices for this family of codes, accompanied by empirical results that enable the construction of QC-SSDE codes with predetermined dimensions. ...

Информационные системы формируют большие объёмы событийных журналов, которые используются для анализа работы приложений и сервисов. При этом события могут поступать в аналитический контур позже момента их фактического возникновения и не в исходном порядке. Такая рассинхронизация приводит к ошибкам при построении агрегированных временных показателей, а регулярный полный пересчёт многомерного аналитического куба требует значительных вычислительных затрат. Целью ...

Polarization of opinions in the group: a modeling algorithm considering the dynamics of social bonds
Chebotarev V., Andreyuk D., Elizarova Anastasiya et al., Procedia Computer Science 2022 Vol. 213 No. C P. 596–601
The dynamics of opinion in a group are of interest for a number of practical purposes. In particular, consensus helps and polarization of opinions hinders cohesive teamwork. Existing approaches for modeling opinion dynamics mostly do not take into account the dynamism of social relations in a group. This paper proposes an algorithm and a program ...

Decision trees and their ensemble extensions, such as random forests, are widely used as classification models due to their simplicity and interpretability. However, in many real-world tasks where class labels overlap in the feature space, standard decision trees rely on hard splits that create fragile decision boundaries. In these regions, small perturbations in the input ...

Bayesian nonparametric density estimation procedures are typically based on single-scale priors, such as Dirichlet process mixtures. Alternative multiscale density priors built on decision trees have many well-known advantages, including the ability to characterize abrupt local changes and to provide an estimate with a desired level of resolution. Despite their theoretical appeal, multiscale methods have typically ...

Численным методам решения систем газодинамических уравнений посвящена обширная литература. Ранее было разработано и успешно апробировано специальное семейство симметричных по пространству консервативных разностных методов, основанных на предварительной кинетической, точнее, квазигазодинамической (КГД), регуляризации этих уравнений. Актуальной задачей является построение численных методов, которые обладают не только свойством консервативности по массе, импульсу и полной энергии, но и удовлетворяют условиям энтропийной ...

Ambivalence/hesitancy recognition in unconstrained videos is a challenging problem due to the subtle, multimodal, and context-dependent nature of this behavioral state. In this paper, a multimodal approach for video-level ambivalence/hesitancy recognition is presented for the 10th ABAW Competition. The proposed approach integrates four complementary modalities: scene, face, audio, and text. Scene dynamics are captured with ...

U-UV codes, based on the Plotkin (U, U + V) construction, provide a unified framework that includes polar and Reed–Muller codes and enables flexible design through the choice of component codes. While modern capacity-approaching codes achieve excellent performance at large block lengths, their efficiency at short and moderate lengths remains limited, especially under low-latency constraints. ...

Язык L является нижним для релятивизируемого сложностного класса C, если CL=C. Для классов #P, GapP и SpanP известны точные нижние классы языков: Low(#P) = UP ∩ coUP, Low(GapP) = SPP и Low(SpanP) = NP ∩ coNP.

The effects of dislocations on the mobility of gas nanobubbles pinned to them are considered as novel unex- plored mechanisms of accelerated fission gas release and investigated using classical molecular dynamics of helium bubbles in FCC aluminum. Non-equilibrium methods are developed to calculate the mobility of a pinned bubble both along and across the dislocation ...

We report a high-performance implementation of the resolution-of-the-identity Hartree–Fock method that fully exploits the permutational symmetry of three-center electron repulsion integrals (ERI). The present implementation adopts a hybrid MPI+OpenMP parallelization strategy. Two different algorithmic approaches (with and without the pre-transformation of ERIs) are compared. A custom data layout introduced previously is employed. Designed to efficiently ...

We develop a new three-party quantum secret-sharing (QSS) protocol based on a three-qubit W state. This protocol encodes the secret-sequence bits using X gates and employs randomly selected Hadamard operations and measurement bases to generate information and security-test rounds. We evaluate the efficiency of the proposed protocol and analyze its security against an internal adversary ...

The stochastic frontier model (SFM) is widely employed in the analysis of productivity and efficiency, yet strict parametric forms, such as the Cobb-Douglas and Translog functions, are often assumed for modeling production, leading to potential misspecification issues. While semi- and nonparametric SFMs offer greater flexibility, they face challenges in imposing monotonicity and concavity to maintain ...
