Abstract:

Human Pose Estimation (HPE) has become one of the most relevant topics in computer vision research. This technology can be applied in various fields such as video surveillance, medical care, and sports motion analysis. Due to the increasing demand for HPE, many libraries for this technology have been developed in the last 20 years. Since 2017, many HPE algorithms based on skeletal model have been published and packaged into libraries for easy use by researchers.

These libraries are important for researchers who want to integrate them into real-world applications for video surveillance, medical care, and sports motion analysis.

This paper investigates the strengths and weaknesses of four popular HPE advanced human pose recognition libraries that can run on mobile devices: Lightweight OpenPose, PoseNet, MoveNet, and Blase Pose.

Abstract:

The paper is devoted to the study of the cognitive function associated with the generation of elliptical sentences in the Russian language. The study is conducted by testing this cognitive ability using a computer system specially developed by the authors for this purpose. Testing of this cognitive ability is proposed and implemented for the first time. The system is an extension of Moodle and is openly hosted in the github repository. Elliptical constructions are limited to verbal and nominal ellipses, which are theoretically possible to be completely reconstructed based on the context of the sentence. The study is conducted with the participation of SPbPU students as respondents. The texts of planimetric tasks are chosen as the subject area. As a result of the analysis of testing data, the following results are obtained: the influence of the respondent’s knowledge of the subject area (planimetry) on the test results is established; a tendency towards self-study of respondents was discovered, which is manifested in a reduction in time and an increase in scores as they pass tests; it is shown that respondents are poorly motivated if they do not see feedback on the answer to the completed task. The paper discusses the problems of further development of the testing system and its use in adapting questionnaires (tasks) to assess the knowledge of SPbPU students in the field of automation of bug detection in programs, as well as for diagnosing the functional state of operator specialists and express diagnosis of dementia. It also seems promising to use the system to improve the processes of syntactic parsing of elliptic sentences and automate the restoration of ellipses in the subject area of planimetry.

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a method of machine-generated and non-scientific text detection in a collection of scientific papers. The method is based on lexical and morphological analysis of the document examined with the help of language modeling. This technique enables estimation of probability that the text belongs to the class of scientific documents. Experimental evidence shows feasibility of the approach.

Abstract:

Relevance of the issue under study is due to tenuity of methods proposed by other researchers that use simple heuristics or machine learning algorithms. The purpose of the article is to provide better way to extract titles from scientific PDF documents and offer better and more reasonable approach to title selection generally. The leading approach to the study is regard as many cases and problems appeared during extraction as possible and find an approach to solve all of them. The results showed the efficiency of chosen approach in case of having a document set with all of considered problems. The research highlights that deep analysis of current task problem is a perspective to make the best solutions and tools. The article may be useful for all researchers and developers who often encounter the problem of document structural analysis or title detection as secondary task of a main program workflow.

Abstract: Practice of holding the sociological surveys conducted for the purpose of detection of opinion of users on electronic information resources and the related information services provided by Educational and scientific information center of the Kazan National University of Science and Technology is described. Results of these polls are given. Experience on formation of information culture of users of Educational and scientific information center of the Kazan National University of Science and Technology is presented.

Abstract:

A method for assessing the risk of default of a corporate borrower at the monitoring stage based on a scoring assessment is proposed. This paper provides proof of the hypothesis that scoring methods for assessing credit risks can be used not only at the stage of initial assessment of a potential borrower when making a decision on lending, but also at the stage of its monitoring when accompanying a transaction. Monitoring is a periodic review of the credit quality of the corporate borrower with whom the loan agreement is concluded. This is done for the purpose of timely detection of negative signals, as well as timely response to threatening trends in the borrower's activities.

Some credit institutions save on monitoring by relying on the decision-making system, considering it flawless. However, this saving can be a fatal mistake, since many things change over time during the "life" of the enterprise. This is facilitated by both external factors (political, economic) and internal (incorrect development strategy of the organization, inability to assess its own credit capabilities, unscrupulous counterparties).

The proposed method is a system of automatic risk signals that have been tested for predictive ability, excluding manual procedures. The proposed solution includes markers (risk signals) that have a predictive ability above average, which can lead to a default of the corporate borrower. In addition, color marking is applied – red, yellow, green, which allows you to visualize the criticality of the identified risk signal depending on the predictive ability - a visual representation of the borrower's risks in order to facilitate interpretation.

The analysis of the developed method showed how much it is possible to speed up the monitoring process, which will allow for a prompt response to the identified risk signals, as well as to predict the likely deterioration of the borrower's credit quality in the loan or guarantee portfolio without compromising the quality of risk assessment.
