The widespread use of social media platforms has led to the accumulation of vast amounts of stored data, enabling the prediction of rare events based on user interaction analysis. This study presents a method for predicting rare events using graph theory, particularly graphlets. The social network VKontakte, with over 90 million users, serves as the data source. The ORCA algorithm is utilized to identify characteristic graph structures within the data. Throughout the study, user interactions were analyzed to identify precursors of rare events and assess prediction accuracy. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, its potential for threat monitoring, and the possibilities for further refinement of graphlet-based prediction models.

The article considers the problem of dynamic control of a 3-connected manipulator designed for trajectory following in conditions of external dynamic disturbances. To ensure the stability of the system, an adaptive PID controller based on the methods of kinematics and dynamics of a multi-link system is proposed. The analytical conclusions of direct kinematics, the calculation of the Jacobian matrix, and the perturbation compensation algorithm are described in detail. The experimental part is presented in the form of MATLAB modeling, the results of which are illustrated by graphs of motion, error convergence, dependence of link angles and control moments, as well as comparative tables of system characteristics at various levels of disturbances.

A project is a single system, an interconnected network of elements: participants, resources, processes, and goals. This relationship is critically important for successful implementation by the technical customer service. Processes that are clearly defined and managed ensure consistency and efficiency. Therefore, project design and management requires a systematic approach that takes into account all relationships and strives to optimize each element to achieve a common goal. A system approach is a method that considers a problem or task in terms of its interrelationships and interactions of all elements of the system. In the context of a technical customer service, this approach can be particularly useful for project management, process optimization, and work efficiency improvement.

The number of information security incidents and the amount of damage caused by them are increasing every year. The relevance of information security incident response remains high. The primary response action is an information security incident localization. The purpose of this study is to reduce the time taken to localize detected information security incidents by information security incident response teams. The purpose is achieved by issuing and using a mandate for information security incident localization by orchestration tools and/or artificial intelligence systems in an automated mode. Analysis and synthesis of available publicly materials were applied as research methods. The results of the analysis and evaluation of different criteria applicability for granting a mandate to localize an information security incident in an incident response are presented in the article. A mandate is granted to orchestration tools and/or artificial intelligence systems to perform localization of an information security incident in an automatic mode, i.e., without the involvement of information security incident response team forces. In evaluation the applicability of various criteria for granting a mandate, unlike the known ones, the level of difficulty in determining values for the criteria in question by information security incident response team forces alone was assessed. Criteria and their values are defined, which, unlike the known ones, highlight the area for information security incidents localization in automatic mode.

This paper presents the results of a study aimed at developing a method for semantic segmentation of thermal images using a modified neural network algorithm that differs from the original neural network algorithm by a higher speed or processing graphic information. As part of the study, a modification of the DeepLabv3+ semantic segmentation neural network algorithm was carried out by reducing the number of parameters of the neural network model, which made it possible to increase the speed of processing graphic information by 48% – from 27 to 40 frames per second. A training method is also presented that allows to increase the accuracy of the modified neural network algorithm; the accuracy value obtained was 5% lower than the accuracy of the original neural network algorithm.

The dynamic time warping algorithm (DTW) is designed to compare two time series by measuring the distance between them. DTW is widely used in medicine, speech recognition, financial market and gaze trajectories analysis. Considering the classic version of DTW, as well as its various modifications, it was found that in the tasks of analyzing the distance between gaze trajectories, they are not able to correctly take into account the duration of its fixations on visual stimuli. The problem has not attracted much attention so far, although its solution will improve the accuracy and interpretation of the results of many experimental studies, since assessing the time of visual focus on objects is an important factor in visual analysis. Hence the need to adapt DTW for such tasks. The goal of this work is to adapt the classic DTW to the problem of finding the distance between two time series with periods of low variability of values. During the demonstration of the developed algorithm, it was proven that the effect of a given minimum threshold of fixation duration on the result is significant. The proposed adaptation of DTW will improve the quality of visual data analysis and can be applied to understanding the mechanisms of human perception and decision-making in various fields of activity, such as psychology and marketing, as well as to developing effective methods for testing interfaces.

The annual growth of the load on data centers increases many times over, which is due to the growing growth of users of the information and telecommunications network Internet. Users access various resources and sources, using search engines and services for this. Installing equipment that processes telecommunications traffic faster requires significant financial costs, and can also significantly increase the downtime of the data center due to possible problems during routine maintenance. It is more expedient to focus resources on improving the software, rather than the hardware of the equipment. The article provides an algorithm that can reduce the load on telecommunications equipment by searching for information within a specific subject area, as well as by using the features of natural language and the process of forming words, sentences and texts in it. It is proposed to analyze the request based on the formation of a prefix tree and clustering, as well as by calculating the probability of the occurrence of the desired word based on the three sigma rule and Zipf's Law.

The cargo turnover of modern distribution centers of network operators reaches hundreds of thousands of tons per year. The technological load on the floors in the warehouse part of the building is 8-10 t/m2 (80-100 kPa), on the floors – up to 2.4 t/m2 (24 kPa). These loads transfer significant pressure through the foundations of the frame to the ground, which, with large sole sizes and mutual influence, increases the lower boundary of the compressible thickness and, as a result, the draft of structures. In the presence of weak soils at the base, precipitation reaches exorbitant values. The situation is aggravated by the high groundwater level, which also increases the sedimentation of foundations. The article presents and analyzes options for solving the problem by strengthening the base by compacting the top layer and cementing it to different depths depending on the pressure and construction of the foundation.
