AUTOMATIC CONSTRUCTION OF SYNTACTIC LANGUAGE MODELS FOR TEXT PROCESSING SYSTEMS
  • V.N. Zakharov
  • Al-dr A. Khoroshilov
  • Al-ey A. Khoroshilov

Abstract: The article describes a formal model of the syntactic structure of texts based on generalized syntagmas and methods of its automatic construction. The proposed syntactic model is based on machine grammar which is based on the system of inflectional classes of Russian words. The correspondence between the form of the representation of words and their grammatical information, laid down in the theoretical conception of the inflectional classes of words in the Russian language, made it possible to create on this basis new classes - classes of words that have the same sets of grammatical features corresponding to their forms of representation in similar context.

  • O. Arkhipov
  • A. Gasilov
  • Yu. Maniakov
  • O. Yakovlev

Abstract: An enclosed room exploration algorithm for an autonomous mobile robot equipped with sensors is introduced. This paper includes the definition of the task of enclosed room exploration. The algorithm utilizes the data model of a floorplan, based on a concave polygon with holes, which is refined and enhanced by merging different views of the room in the iterative manner during exploration. This representation allows formulating the termination criterion that can be checked in constant time and constructing a graph for pathfinding and obstacle avoidance purposes. In addition, analysis of algorithm's computational complexity and results of a test based on synthetic datasets are provided. Furthermore, an approach to exploration path building and an algorithm of floorplan's polygons union are considered.

OVERCOMING OF PROTECTION OF A NETWORK WHERE CONNECTIONS ARE CONTROLLED BY META DATA
  • A. A. Grusho
  • E. E. Timonina
  • S. Ya. Shorgin

Abstract: The control of connections in a network by means of meta data does not consider time of realization of several information technologies. This fact produces a possibility to overcome protection of a network which uses meta data for control of network connections. For solution of potential problems connected with this vulnerability, additions to the control functions using meta data are suggested. In particular, the method of creation of queues and the method of compulsory reconfiguration of network are proposed. In the case of SDN (Software Defined Network), meta data directly define the moment of time and requirements to reconfiguration of network for the controller.

VISUAL LANGUAGE FOR MODELING OF SYNERGY EFFECT IN HYBRID INTELLIGENT MULTIAGENT SYSTEMS
  • I. A. Kirikov
  • A. V. Kolesnikov
  • S. V. Listopad

Abstract: Solving problems by a hybrid intelligent multiagent system is a complex multistage process in which periods of agents' personal work on parts of the problem are followed by periods of negotiations and exchange of opinions. If a hybrid intelligent multiagent system is a black box for the user, the credibility of the results of its work is seriously reduced. To improve the transparency of the system and increase the trust of the user to its recommendations, the authors propose a visual language (alphabet, syntactic and semantic rules) which makes collective decisions and the resulting synergistic effect more visible.

Keywords: expert team; synergy; hybrid intelligent multiagent system; visual language

A PRIORI INVERSE GAMMA DISTRIBUTION IN BAYESIAN QUEUING MODELS
  • A. A. Kudryavtsev
  • S. I. Palionnaia
  • V. S. Shorgin

Abstract: The Bayesian approach to construction of the queuing model M | M1110 is considered. Under the condition of the arrival and service rates' uncertainty, load parameters' characteristics for large groups of service systems or one system with varying parameters of functioning are studied. It is assumed that the a priori distributions of the model's main parameters are known. The paper extends the work devoted to the study of Bayesian queuing and reliability models. Assuming that one of the a priori distributions of the arrival and service rates is the inverse-gamma distribution and the other is the Frechet distribution, the density, distribution function, and moments of the traffic intensity are calculated. The results are formulated in terms of a gamma-exponential function and can be used to study the relationship between two independent inverse gamma distributed random variables in various applied problems.

SITUATIONAL PRODUCTION PLANNING IN A NETWORK M2M-SYSTEM
  • A. V. Ilyin
  • V. D. Ilyin

Abstract: A methodology for situational planning of production (electricity, water, etc.) in a network M2M (machine-to-machine) system is proposed.
The methodology includes methods for constructing an object model using measurement data, forming portraits of situations (target, achieved, and starting), and interactive production planning. The object model describes economic characteristics of the nodes and distribution of the product streams moving along the network arcs, depending on the amount of product sent from the producing nodes and delivered to the consuming nodes. At each step of planning, the problem formulation depends on the results of analysis of the situations' portraits. The key component of the computational core is the method of target displacement of solution. The methodology is oriented to implementation by means of online services and is designed for use in network M2M-systems.

SUPRACORPORA DATABASE OF CONNECTIVES: DESIGN-ORIENTED EVOLUTION OF THE TERM SYSTEM
  • I. M. Zatsman
  • M. G. Kruzhkov

Abstract: This article examines the process of design-oriented evolution of the term system for supracorpora databases (SCDB) which represent a new category of information resources in linguistics. The SCDB is based on parallel texts, i.e., texts placed alongside their translations and aligned with them at the sentence level. Although SCDBs are designed for annotation of a wide variety of linguistic items and their correspondences, this article specifically considers annotation of connectives. The annotation-centered design of SCDBs has led to emergence of new entities and notions in computer linguistics, and in the beginning of 2017, a custom term system was proposed for them. On one hand, the proposed terms are used by linguists in order to describe new knowledge generated as a result of annotation and investigation of linguistic units. On the other hand, these terms serve as a basis for design of the SCDB architecture and the associated dataware, lingware, and software. Since the first description of the terminology, the range of tasks accomplished with SCDBs has expanded significantly; hence, there is the need to further develop the initial design-oriented term system.

Keywords: supracorpora databases; term systems; annotation of linguistic units; parallel texts; corpus linguistics; connectives

METHOD FOR DESCRIPTION OF MULTIWORD CONNECTIVES IN SUPRACORPORA DATABASES
  • O. Yu. Inkova
  • M. G. Kruzhkov

Abstract: This article presents a new method for describing the structure of multiword connectives implemented in the Supracorpora database (SCDB) of connectives. Currently, the structure of connectives is underinvestigated, and criteria for determining boundaries of connectives and their components are lacking. The proposed method is based on the cognitive-semantic approach that considers multiword connectives as more or less free word combinations generated in the process of speech. A two-tier faceted classification is proposed which allows annotating, on one hand, specific tokens of connectives in texts (context annotation) and, on the other hand, the inner structure of connectives (structural annotation). The structural annotation is based on two aspects: structural type and structural components of connectives. Based on the proposed annotation method, a system of cross-clusters is implemented that extends the search and statistical capabilities of SCDB. In addition, this method allows researchers to eliminate subjectivity during the annotation process and to fill some gaps in linguistic knowledge, for example, to gather new data on combinatorial capabilities of Russian connectives.

Keywords: connectives; linguistic items structure; linguistic items variation; corpus linguistics; annotation; faceted classification; supracorpora databases

  • V. A. Minin
  • I. M. Zatsman
  • V. A. Havanskov
  • S. K. Shubnikov

Abstract: Indicator assessment of the process of knowledge transfer is an important element in the studies of information linkages between science and technology. Indicators in question characterize the processes of creation of scientific groundwork for development of advanced technologies. In the process of studying information linkages, an experiment has been conducted to calculate the values of indicators of intensity of scientific knowledge transfer to informa-tion technology development. To this end, the eleven-year array of full-text descriptions of inventions obtained from Rospatent has been analyzed. The se-mantic meanings of the intensity indicators that characterize science-technology linkages are considered. As a result of the experiment, the values of indicators that characterize the intensity of the transfer of knowledge into the sphere of information technology development are calculated. The analysis of the obtained results allows drawing a conclusion that the intensity indicators ordered by the frequency of mentions of scientific disciplines make it possible to assess the degree of their influence on the development of information technologies.
