The probabilistic topic model of a text document collection finds two matrices: a matrix of conditional probabilities of topics in documents and a matrix of conditional probabilities of words in topics. Each document is represented by a multiset of words also called the “bag of words”, thus assuming that the order of words is not important for revealing the latent topics of the document. Under this assumption, the problem is reduced to a low-rank non-negative matrix factorization governed by likelihood maximization. In general, this problem is ill-posed having an infinite set of solutions. In order to regularize the solution, a weighted sum of optimization criteria is added to the log-likelihood. When modeling large text collections, storing the first matrix seems to be impractical, since its size is proportional to the number of documents in the collection. At the same time, the topical vector representation (embedding) of documents is necessary for solving many text analysis tasks, such as information retrieval, clustering, classification, and summarization of texts. In practice, the topical embedding is calculated for a document “on-the-fly”, which may require dozens of iterations over all the words of the document. In this paper, we propose a way to calculate a topical embedding quickly, by one pass over document words. For this, an additional constraint is introduced into the model in the form of an equation, which calculates the first matrix from the second one in linear time. Although formally this constraint is not an optimization criterion, in fact it plays the role of a regularizer and can be used in combination with other regularizers within the additive regularization framework ARTM. Experiments on three text collections have shown that the proposed method improves the model in terms of sparseness, difference, logLift and coherence measures of topic quality. The open source libraries BigARTM and TopicNet were used for the experiments.

The author presents a new macroeconomic model designed to analyze and forecast technology diffusion processes in markets characterized by bounded capacity. The study addresses the major limitations of classical phenomenological models, such as the Bass and Gompertz frameworks, which suffer from a rigidly fixed trajectory asymmetry and lack explicit microeconomic foundations. To overcome these constraints, we employ an interdisciplinary approach that transfers the ecological concept of limited resource rationing from the Arditi–Ginzburg–Contois model into operations management theory. This framework integrates the Karmarkar clearing function with the Leontief–Liebig production function to establish a rigorous dynamic balance. By applying this integration, the author analytically derives an alternative technological innovation diffusion law that expresses time as an explicit function of the cumulative market volume. To identify parameters from empirical data, the study develops a robust numerical grid inversion algorithm that utilizes vector linear interpolation within the MATLAB computing environment. This approach avoids iterative root-finding errors and ensures high computational stability for the non-linear least squares optimization procedure. We test the empirical validity of the developed diffusion law using two distinct historical macroeconomic cases: the quarterly cumulative sales of the Apple iPod and the annual subscription data for the mobile broadband market in Germany. The resulting statistical metrics demonstrate that the proposed model provides superior approximation quality and mathematical advantages on high-tech market data due to its highly flexible asymmetry parameter. The fundamental scientific novelty of this research lies in the theoretical justification of the macroeconomic S-curve through the internal balance equations of an open chemostat-type system operating under a competitive vacuum. The proposed mathematical apparatus offers a practical tool for corporate management and regulatory agencies to plan market capacity and accurately forecast peak technological substitution rates.

To address the research objective, a neural network was trained. In the course of the study several ways of training sample formation were considered, differing in the nature of statistical parameters. In order to improve the quality of training and obtain more accurate results, a methodology for feature generation was developed for the formation of features that serve as input data for the neural network. These features, in turn, were derived from an analysis of mathematical expectations and standard deviations of time series data over specific intervals. The potential for combining these features to achieve more stable results is also under investigation.

The results of model experiments were analyzed to compare the effectiveness of the proposed model with other existing changepoint detection algorithms that have gained widespread usage in practical applications. A specially generated dataset, developed using proprietary methods, was utilized as both training and testing data. Furthermore, the model, trained on various features, was tested on daily data from the S&P 500 index to assess its effectiveness in a real financial context.

As the principles of the model’s operation are described, possibilities for its further improvement are considered, including the modernization of the proposed model’s structure, optimization of training data generation, and feature formation. Additionally, the authors are tasked with advancing existing concepts for real-time changepoint detection.

The modern digitalization of cities occurs according to laws that are not yet clearly defined. The difficulty in understanding these laws is due to the high uncertainty of urban events and the difficulties in developing adequate analytical models for them. To substantiate management decisions on city digitalization in these conditions, effective methods for processing multidimensional time series are necessary. The objective is to develop a promising method. The proposed method is based on a new model of a neural network control system and algorithms for implementing its main functions. Distinctive features of the model include both structural aspects and new rules for neural network-based substantiation of management decisions on city digitalization, using unsupervised training of the applied recurrent neural network. This model provides for adaptive neural network management of city digitalization according to a sliding program. New rules are proposed for the forward and backward transformation of multidimensional time series, modeling the operation of a streaming recurrent neural network, and identifying feasible programs for city digitalization. By adhering to the proposed rules, it is possible not only to eliminate information loss in such a network but also to ensure its stable operation. The features of this neural network’s operation in substantiating feasible urban digitalization programs are described. The requirements for the software implementation of the proposed method are substantiated. The results of experiments using data for St. Petersburg are presented. These data included monthly volumes of shipped computers, electronic and optical products, as well as monthly volumes of shipped products for all manufacturing industries minus the first-time series values ??for the period from January 2021 to December 2025. The effectiveness of management decisions on the city’s digitalization was predicted based on the total volumes of shipped products to the horizon from January to December 2026. It is shown that the application of the proposed method allows for expanded capabilities for adaptively substantiating feasible management decisions on the city’s digitalization while reducing computer modeling costs.

High frequency algorithmic trading became is a subclass of trading which is focused on gaining basis-point like profitability on sub-second time frames. Such trading strategies do not depend on most of the factors eligible for the longer-term trading and require specific approach. There were many attempts to utilize machine learning techniques to both high and low frequency trading. However, it is still having limited application in the real world trading due to high exposure to overfitting, requirements for rapid adaptation to new market regimes and overall instability of the results. We conducted a comprehensive research on combination of known quantitative theory and reinforcement learning methods in order derive more effective and robust approach at construction of automated trading system in an attempt to create a support for a known algorithmic trading techniques. Using classical price behavior theories as well as modern application cases in sub-millisecond trading, we utilized the Reinforcement Learning models in order to improve quality of the algorithms. As a result, we derived a robust model which utilize Deep Reinforcement learning in order to optimise static market making trading algorithms’ parameters capable of online learning on live data. More specifically, we explored the system in the derivatives cryptocurrency market which mostly not dependent on external factors in short terms. Our research was implemented in high-frequency environment and the final models showed capability to operate within accepted high-frequency trading time-frames. We compared various combinations of Deep Reinforcement Learning approaches and the classic algorithms and evaluated robustness and effectiveness of improvements for each combination.

We propose a family of Gauss –Newton methods for solving optimization problems and systems of nonlinear equations based on the ideas of using the upper estimate of the norm of the residual of the system of nonlinear equations and quadratic regularization. The paper presents a development of the «Three Squares Method» scheme with the addition of a momentum term to the update rule of the sought parameters in the problem to be solved. The resulting scheme has several remarkable properties. First, the paper algorithmically describes a whole parametric family of methods that minimize functionals of a special kind: compositions of the residual of a nonlinear equation and an unimodal functional. Such a functional, entirely consistent with the «gray box» paradigm in the problem description, combines a large number of solvable problems related to applications in machine learning, with the regression problems. Secondly, the obtained family of methods is described as a generalization of several forms of the Levenberg –Marquardt algorithm, allowing implementation in non-Euclidean spaces as well. The algorithm describing the parametric family of Gauss –Newton methods uses an iterative procedure that performs an inexact parametrized proximal mapping and shift using a momentum term. The paper contains a detailed analysis of the efficiency of the proposed family of Gauss – Newton methods; the derived estimates take into account the number of external iterations of the algorithm for solving the main problem, the accuracy and computational complexity of the local model representation and oracle computation. Sublinear and linear convergence conditions based on the Polak – Lojasiewicz inequality are derived for the family of methods. In both observed convergence regimes, the Lipschitz property of the residual of the nonlinear system of equations is locally assumed. In addition to the theoretical analysis of the scheme, the paper studies the issues of its practical implementation. In particular, in the experiments conducted for the suboptimal step, the schemes of effective calculation of the approximation of the best step are given, which makes it possible to improve the convergence of the method in practice in comparison with the original «Three Square Method». The proposed scheme combines several existing and frequently used in practice modifications of the Gauss –Newton method, in addition, the paper proposes a monotone momentum modification of the family of developed methods, which does not slow down the search for a solution in the worst case and demonstrates in practice an improvement in the convergence of the method.

Modeling of carbon nanostructures by means of classical molecular dynamics requires a lot of computations. One of the ways to improve the performance of basic algorithms is to transform them for running on SIMD-type computing systems such as systems with dedicated GPU. In this work we describe the development of algorithms for computation of many-body interaction based on Tersoff and embedded-atom potentials by means of OpenCL technology. OpenCL standard provides universality and portability of the algorithms and can be successfully used for development of the software for heterogeneous computing systems. The performance of algorithms is evaluated on CPU and GPU hardware platforms. It is shown that concurrent memory writes is effective for Tersoff bond order potential. The same approach for embedded-atom potential is shown to be slower than algorithm without concurrent memory access. Performance evaluation shows a significant GPU acceleration of energy-force evaluation algorithms for many-body potentials in comparison to the corresponding serial implementations.
