Social media is a crucial indicator of the position of assets in the financial market. The paper describes the rigid solution for the classification problem to determine the influence of social media activity on financial market movements. Reputable crypto traders influencers are selected. Twitter posts packages are used as data. The methods of text, which are characterized by the numerous use of slang words and abbreviations, and preprocessing consist in lemmatization of Stanza and the use of regular expressions. A word is considered as an element of a vector of a data unit in the course of solving the problem of binary classification. The best markup parameters for processing Binance candles are searched for. Methods of feature selection, which is necessary for a precise description of text data and the subsequent process of establishing dependence, are represented by machine learning and statistical analysis. First, the feature selection is used based on the information criterion. This approach is implemented in a random forest model and is relevant for the task of feature selection for splitting nodes in a decision tree. The second one is based on the rigid compilation of a binary vector during a rough check of the presence or absence of a word in the package and counting the sum of the elements of this vector. Then a decision is made depending on the superiority of this sum over the threshold value that is predetermined previously by analyzing the frequency distribution of mentions of the word. The algorithm used to solve the problem was named benchmark and analyzed as a tool. Similar algorithms are often used in automated trading strategies. In the course of the study, observations of the influence of frequently occurring words, which are used as a basis of dimension 2 and 3 in vectorization, are described as well.

In our research, we focus on the problem of classification for silent speech recognition to develop a brain– computer interface (BCI) based on electroencephalographic (EEG) data, which will be capable of assisting people with mental and physical disabilities and expanding human capabilities in everyday life. Our previous research has shown that the silent pronouncing of some words results in almost identical distributions of electroencephalographic signal data. Such a phenomenon has a suppressive impact on the quality of neural network model behavior. This paper proposes a data processing technique that distinguishes between statistically remote and inseparable classes in the dataset. Applying the proposed approach helps us reach the goal of maximizing the semantic load of the dictionary used in BCI.

Furthermore, we propose the existence of a statistical predictive criterion for the accuracy of binary classification of the words in a dictionary. Such a criterion aims to estimate the lower and the upper bounds of classifiers’ behavior only by measuring quantitative statistical properties of the data (in particular, using the Kolmogorov – Smirnov method). We show that higher levels of classification accuracy can be achieved by means of applying the proposed predictive criterion, making it possible to form an optimized dictionary in terms of semantic load for the EEG-based BCIs. Furthermore, using such a dictionary as a training dataset for classification problems grants the statistical remoteness of the classes by taking into account the semantic and phonetic properties of the corresponding words and improves the classification behavior of silent speech recognition models.

The problem of optimal control of traffic flow in an urban road network is considered. The control is carried out by varying the duration of the working phases of traffic lights at controlled intersections. A description of the control system developed is given. The control system enables the use of three types of control: open-loop, feedback and manual. In feedback control, road infrastructure detectors, video cameras, inductive loop and radar detectors are used to determine the quantitative characteristics of current traffic flow state. The quantitative characteristics of the traffic flows are fed into a mathematical model of the traffic flow, implemented in the computer environment of an automatic traffic flow control system, in order to determine the moments for switching the working phases of the traffic lights. The model is a system of finite-difference recurrent equations and describes the change in traffic flow on each road section at each time step, based on retrived data on traffic flow characteristics in the network, capacity of maneuvers and flow distribution through alternative maneuvers at intersections. The model has scaling and aggregation properties. The structure of the model depends on the structure of the graph of the controlled road network. The number of nodes in the graph is equal to the number of road sections in the considered network. The simulation of traffic flow changes in real time makes it possible to optimally determine the duration of traffic light operating phases and to provide traffic flow control with feedback based on its current state. The system of automatic collection and processing of input data for the model is presented. In order to model the states of traffic flow in the network and to solve the problem of optimal traffic flow control, the CTraf software package has been developed, a brief description of which is given in the paper. An example of the solution of the optimal control problem of traffic flows on the basis of real data in the road network of Moscow is given.

Acute respiratory infections are a major public health concern because they are the leading cause of illness and death in many countries. Therefore, there is great interest in developing models and methods capable of modeling the spread of these infections within communities, with the aim of controlling outbreaks and preventing their spread. Agent-based models (ABM) are one of the most important tools in epidemiological research for modeling epidemic dynamics in realistic populations, but they face significant challenges in terms of computational complexity in their operation and calibration of epidemiological data, as parameter estimation typically requires repeated simulations across large parameter spaces to determine plausible values for key epidemiological parameters. This paper addresses the problem of alleviating computational constraints in the inverse problem of calibrating an ABM model for simulating the spread of respiratory infections in Saint Petersburg. The paper proposes the application of machine learning surrogate to link epidemic trajectories to underlying epidemiological parameters, enabling them to quickly infer parameter estimates from observed epidemic data. This is done by formulating the task of calibrating ABMs against epidemiological data as a supervised learning problem, where sequences extracted from epidemiological trajectories are associated with underlying epidemiological parameters. The research was based on evaluating the performance of attention-based sequence modeling, probabilistic deep learning, and distributional regression for inferring parameter estimates from truncated sequences of epidemic trajectories. Experimental evaluations have demonstrated the effectiveness of this approach and its practical and straightforward application. The results also indicated the superiority of attention-based sequence modeling, as it showed more consistent performance across metrics and horizons in accurate parameter estimation and credible uncertainty quantification. Distributional regression modeling also showed good performance with specific strengths in point accuracy while probabilistic deep learning performed poorly, especially at longer input horizons.

This article presents a model of a fully automated warehouse with deep storage racks designed for boxed goods storage. The study focuses on optimizing warehouse operations through discrete multiagent simulation of shuttle movements for pallet loading and unloading tasks. The authors investigate various product placement strategies, including the Nearest Channel Positioning Algorithm (NCPA), Most Empty Channel Group Placement (MECGP), andMost Filled Channel Group Placement (MFCGP), while analyzing optimal routing schemes for the given warehouse topology.

A key contribution is determining the optimal number of shuttles to maximize warehouse throughput. Simulation results demonstrate that increasing the number of robots beyond 15 does not significantly improve efficiency due to increased route collisions. The study also examines 24-hour warehouse occupancy dynamics, revealing optimal storage utilization levels.

The developed model enables performance evaluation and optimization of task distribution among robots to minimize order processing time. Future research directions include implementing machine learning techniques to further enhance warehouse management systems.

The collective behavior of crowd leaving a room is modeled. The model is based on molecular dynamics approach with a mixture of socio-psychological and physical forces. The new algorithm for complicatedly branched space is proposed. It suggests that each individual develops its own plan of escape, which is stochastically transformed during the evolution. The algorithm includes also the separation of original space into rooms with possible exits selected by individuals according to their probability distribution. The model is calibrated on the base of empirical data provided by fire case in the nightclub “Lame Horse” (Perm, 2009). The algorithm is realized as an end-user Java software. It is assumed that this tool could help to test the buildings for their safety for humans.

In the first section of the paper a definition of presentation (perception) functions — components of individual’s subjective view of the world — are proposed. Using the basic psychophysical law formulated by S. Stevens, and relying on the hypotheses of socialization, rationality, individual choice, complexity of informational influences, dynamics of ideas and perceptions, and accessibility, formal dependence was derived allowing to calculate the function of presentation (perception) for probabilistic indicators (with known distribution function or subjective probability) and of interval type. In the second and third sections parameters of the presentation function according to surveys of the U.S. population related to the war in Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq are estimated.

The paper simulated the spread of certain ideas in a professional virtual group. We consider the propagation of excitation in an inhomogeneous excitable medium of high connectivity. It is assumed that the network elements form a complete graph. Parameters of the elements are normally distributed. The simulation showed that interest in the idea can fade or fluctuate depending on the settings in the virtual group. The presence of a permanent excited element with relatively high activity leads to chaos — the fraction of members of the community actively interested in an idea varies irregularly.

The article is devoted to the idea of using physical properties of DNA instead of sequence along for the aspect of accurate search and annotation of various prokaryotic genomic regions. Particulary, the possibility to use electrostatic potential distribution around DNA sequence as a classifier for identification of a few functional DNA regions was demonstrated. A number of classification models was built providing discrimination of promoters and non-promoter regions (random sequences, coding regions and promoter-like sequences) with accuracy value about 83–85%. The most valueable regions for the discrimination were determined and expected to play a certain role in the process of DNA-recognition by RNA-polymerase.
