Abstract:

The List of peer-reviewed scientific journals of the Higher Attestation Commission is gradually turning into a complex information system based on the normative documents of the Higher Attestation Commission, bibliometric data eLibrary.ru, decisions of the expert councils of the Higher Attestation Commission and working groups engaged in the analysis, ranking and categorization of the journals of the List. The Russian Scientific Journals (RSJ) database created by RIEP can become a system that serves the requests of different categories of users related to the topic of dissertation defense. So far, the RSJ has implemented the interface of a representative of the editorial board of the journal and the interface of a member of the expert council of the Higher Attestation Commission. It is desirable to include in the RSJ an open interface addressed to the degree applicant to verify compliance with the requirements of the Higher Attestation Commission for publications in journals from the List. With the established mutual exchange of data between RSJ and eLibrary.ru, the applicant's interface with the designated functionality can be organized in the eLibrary.ru user environment.

Abstract: Currently, there are a huge number of works dedicated to semantic role labeling of English texts [1–3]. However, semantic role labeling of Russian texts was an unexplored area for many years due to the lack of train and test corpora. Semantic role labeling of Russian Texts was widely disseminated after the appearance of the FrameBank corpus [4]. In this approach, we analyzed the influence of the word embedding models on the quality of semantic role labeling of Russian texts. Micro- and macro- F1 scores on word2vec [5], fastText [6], ELMo [7] embedding models were calculated. The set of experiments have shown that fastText models averaged slightly better than word2vec models as applied to Russian FrameBank corpus. The higher micro- and macro- F1 scores were obtained on deep tokenized word representation model ELMo in relation to classical shallow embedding models.

Abstract: In this paper we describe an emotional human-machine interface as an anthropomorphic social agent which is able to comprehend emotions and react to emotional stimuli. We propose a neurobiologically inspired agent implementation that is based on mechanics of chemical and physiological processes within human brain. Implementation of model features simulation of neuromodulators such as dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline. Demonstration of emotions is achieved via combining aforementioned neuromodulators in different proportions. The Lȍvheim cube of emotions is used for this purpose. We also cover the topic of "uncanny valley" phenomenon. In conclusion of this paper we reached understanding of connection between mimics and motivation of individual. We have constructed realistic computation model which allows us to visualize agent's mimics in sync with his speech.

Abstract: The rapid development of complex virtual worlds (most notably, in 3D computer and video games) introduces new challenges for the creation of virtual agents, controlled by artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Two important subproblems in this topic area which need to be addressed are (a) believability and (b) effectiveness of agents' behavior, i.e. human-likeness of the characters and high ability to achieving their own goals. In this paper, we study current approaches to believability and effectiveness of AI behavior in virtual worlds. We examine the concepts of believability and effectiveness and analyze several successful attempts to address these challenges. In conclusion, we suggest that believable and effective behavior can be achieved through learning behavioral patterns from observation with subsequent automatic selection of winning acting strategies.

Abstract:

The work is aimed at considering the process of modeling a realistic controller of the behavior of groups of objects. The main techniques and principles used to create a realistic controller of the behavior of autonomous agents, united in related groups, are investigated. Based on this data, a behavior controller has been created.

The following works were performed: on the calculation of the effectiveness of the behavior of groups of autonomous agents; on the possibility of using a system of local scalar fields with the aim of constructing the most accurate mathematical model; on the analysis of the possibility of creating a hierarchical system of multi-agent subgroups within the group, with the aim of realizing the movement of these same groups, as an integral part; to use a structured approach to create an efficient controller architecture; on conducting practical experiments to evaluate the correctness of the data obtained.

To achieve the goals set, the computational methods of optimization theory, mathematical statistics, and analytical methods of the mathematical modeling apparatus are involved.

Abstract: Three-dimensional facial animation has been extensively studied, but the achievement of realistic, human-like performance has not yet been decided. This article discusses various approaches for generating animated facial expressions controlled by speech. Combining the considered approaches for both facial animation, and the identification of emotions and the creation of micro-facial expressions in one system, we get a solution suitable for tasks such as game video, avatars of virtual reality or any scenario in which a speaker, speech or language is not known in advance.
