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.

President Obama: A Commentary From Russia

Ch. 23. P. 305–309.
Osin E. N.

The chapter reviews the dynamics of Russian public interest in the US president and Russian public opinion towards the USA and Barack Obama between 2008 and 2013. The results indicate that Russians are predominantly indifferent towards Barack Obama and the USA in general. However, a negative attitude growth trend in 2012-2013 is evident, most likely associated with Russian state propaganda in response to the Magnitsky Act. The author discusses these facts and proposes a psychological explanation to the Russian reaction based on the psychodynamic notion of defense mechanisms.

Громкие обещания Джо Байдена о преодолении текущего кризиса на практике столкнулись с вызовом пандемии, а также турбулентностью международной и внутренней политики. Сейчас США переживают сложный этап трансформации, который связан с ослаблением их позиций в мировой политике и экономике, а также с усугубившимися противоречиями внутреннего развития. В подобных условиях успешное осуществление заявленного плана масштабных преобразований зависит ...

Дисбалансы либеральной глобализации, пролонгированные последствия рецессии 2008–2009 гг., глубинные противоречия внутриполитического развития США привели к заметному усилению кризисных явлений в американском обществе. В этом плане приход к власти Д. Трампа, опиравшегося в немалой степени на правопопулистскую концепцию борьбы народа и элиты, и рост политической поляризации стали особенно симптоматичными. Ряд экспертов даже говорят о текущем кризисе ...
