A method is proposed for preliminary assessment of the pragmatic value of information in the problem of classifying the state of an object based on deep recurrent networks of long short-term memory. The purpose of the study is to develop a method for predicting the state of a controlled object while minimizing the number of used prognostic parameters through a preliminary assessment of the pragmatic value of information. This is an especially urgent task under conditions of processing big data, characterized not only by significant volumes of incoming information, but also by information rate and multiformatness. The generation of big data is now happening in almost all areas of activity due to the widespread introduction of the Internet of Things in them. The method is implemented by a two-level scheme for processing input information. At the first level, a Random Forest machine learning algorithm is used, which has significantly fewer adjustable parameters than a recurrent neural network used at the second level for the final and more accurate classification of the state of the controlled object or process. The choice of Random Forest is due to its ability to assess the importance of variables in regression and classification problems. This is used in determining the pragmatic value of the input information at the first level of the data processing scheme. For this purpose, a parameter is selected that reflects the specified value in some sense, and based on the ranking of the input variables by the level of importance, they are selected to form training datasets for the recurrent network. The algorithm of the proposed data processing method with a preliminary assessment of the pragmatic value of information is implemented in a program in the MatLAB language, and it has shown its efficiency in an experiment on model data.

| We consider the synthesis of a hybrid neural convolutional network with the modular topology-based architecture, which allows to arrange a parallel convolutional computing system to combine both the energy transfer and data processing, in order to simulate complex functions of natural biological neural populations. The system of interlayer neural commutation, based on the distributed resonance circuits with the layers of electromagnetic metamaterial between the inductive elements, is a base for simulation of the interaction between the astrocyte networks and the neural clusters responsible for information processing. Consequently, the data processing is considered both at the level of signal transmission through neural elements, and as interaction of artificial neurons and astrocytic networks ensuring their functioning. The resulting two-level neural system of data processing implements a set of measures to solve the issue based on the neural network committee. The specific arrangement of the neural network enables us to implement and configure the educational procedure using the properties absent in the neural networks consisting of neural populations only. The training of the convolutional network is based on a preliminary analysis of rhythmic activity, where artificial astrocytes play the main role of interneural switches. The analysis of the signals moving through the neural network enables us to adjust variable components to present information from training bunches in the available memory circuits in the most efficient way. Moreover, in the training process we observe the activity of neurons in various areas to evenly distribute the computational load on neural network modules to achieve maximum performance. The trained and formed convolutional network is used to solve the problem of determining the optimal path for the object moving due to the energy from the environment. Continue... | |

Currently, one of the main directions in the field of banking process automation is the creation and implementation of integrated management decision support systems. In the context of growing competition and general digitalization of the economy, the issue of improving the efficiency of bank management is most acute. Most of the automated systems used in this area are aimed at identifying "gaps" in existing business processes and further optimizing their individual parts. Moreover, such systems are not based on economic and mathematical models and algorithms for their solution. This article presents a description of an intelligent computer software package that allows you to simulate the optimization of software and adaptive management of specific business processes - managing the number of personnel and the sales system of the retail block of a commercial bank. The basis of the developed software package is a discrete dynamic economic and mathematical model of the investigated business processes and the developed optimization algorithms for software and adaptive control of these processes. The process of making decisions on the recruitment/reduction of the staff of various categories of employees of the Retail block of a commercial bank, as well as on the management of the sales system provided by the relevant employees. The paper presents the main stages of creating the proposed controlled dynamic model with a vector quality criterion. Based on computer modeling with the help of the developed intelligent computer software complex, the results of optimal solutions for various options for practical examples were obtained. The results are graphically illustrated and analyzed. Based on the proposed dynamic model, it is possible to solve other problems of optimizing software and adaptive management of processes that determine banking activities and develop automated information systems for implementing support for managerial decision-making in this area.

The article contains the study of the experience of operation of the specific Sber financial ecosystem as a new form of entrepreneurial activity in the competitive economic environment which is driven by the impact of digitalization on the economic convergence processes – the modern trend in the social development in general. The study of the experience of the Sber financial ecosystem which is one of the most highly developed ones in Russia is both of theoretical and practical interest. The purpose of the article is to describe the actual experience of Sber ecosystem’s operation. The results of the performed analysis are as follows. Definitely the Sber ecosystem is a form of organization of joint business implemented in the framework of intersectoral convergence driven by digitalization. The impact of intersectoral convergence is manifested in the fact that the creation of the ecosystem was initiated by a financial institution - the largest Russian savings bank; and the participants in this ecosystem are representatives of a wide variety of sectors and segments of the economy. The impact of digitalization shows in the fact that the basis of joint business is a modern digital base which includes IT, IT platforms and networks. The modern mathematical and instrumental methods of data processing and IT startups are not only the digital specifics of the ecosystem functioning, but also effective tools to attract to a joint business – on a voluntary basis only – the partners from various fields of activity, and provide the Sber ecosystem with undoubted competitive advantages.

| The present study is devoted to the development of a software module that converts computational meshes created on the basis of the OpenFOAM platform into the msh format, used in numerical experiments using the ANSYS FLUENT package. Thanks to this conversion, the user is able to use both products in parallel. The ANSYS FLUENT functionality can, for example, be used within the framework of post-processing of a numerical model in most fundamental problems of continuum mechanics (CM), including in hydrodynamics, aerodynamics, and solid mechanics. The existing analogues of the OpenFOAM platform, such as Salome, Helyx-OS, Visual-CFD, have already implemented tools for solving this problem, but due to their partial commercial distribution, the need to pay for technical support services and the lack of full-fledged Russian documentation, the problem of the lack of a graphical shell to simplify the procedure conversion remains relevant. The process of converting computational meshes generated by means of the OpenFOAM platform into the msh-format used in the ANSYS FLUENT package is the subject of this study. The purpose of the work is to develop the source code of a software module that automates the process of determining conversion parameters and starting the conversion process. The work presents a diagram corresponding to the algorithm of a specialist's work with the considered software module. A stack of technologies for typing, debugging and running program code is presented, a stack of tools for using the module in question is presented. The results of the research have been determined, the provisions of its scientific novelty and supposed practical significance have been formulated. The results of testing the application are presented on the example of one of the classic experiments based on the OpenFOAM platform. Continue... |
