The article presents the results of a numerical experiment comparing the accuracy of neural network recognition of objects in images using various types of data set extensions. It describes the need to expand data sets using adaptive approaches in order to minimize the use of image transformations that may reduce the accuracy of object recognition. The author considers such approaches to data set expansion as random and automatic augmentation, as they are common, as well as the developed method of adaptive data set expansion using a reinforcement learning algorithm. The algorithms of operation of each of the approaches, their advantages and disadvantages of the methods are given. The work and main parameters of the developed method of expanding the dataset using the Deep-Q-Network algorithm are described from the point of view of the algorithm and the main module of the software package. Attention is being paid to one of the machine learning approaches, namely reinforcement learning. The application of a neural network for approximating the Q-function and updating it in the learning process, which is based on the developed method, is described. The experimental results show the advantage of using data set expansion using a reinforcement learning algorithm using the example of the Squeezenet v1.1 classification model. The comparison of recognition accuracy using data set expansion methods was carried out using the same parameters of a neural network classifier with and without the use of pre-trained weights. Thus, the increase in accuracy in comparison with other methods varies from 2.91% to 6.635%.

The transition from scheduled maintenance and repair of equipment to maintenance based on its actual technical state requires the use of new methods of data analysis based on machine learning. Modern data collection systems such as robotic unmanned complexes allow generating large volumes of graphic data in various spectra. The increase in data volume leads to the task of automating their processing and analysis to identify defects in high-voltage equipment. This article analyzes the features of using computer vision algorithms for images of high-voltage equipment of power plants and substations in the infrared spectrum and presents a method for their analysis, which can be used to create intelligent decision support systems in the field of technical diagnostics of equipment. The proposed method uses both deterministic algorithms and machine learning. Classical computer vision algorithms are applied for preliminary data processing in order to highlight significant features, and models based on unsupervised machine learning are applied to recognize graphic images of equipment in a feature space optimized for information space. Image segmentation using a spatial clustering algorithm based on the density distribution of values ​​taking into account outliers allows detecting and grouping image fragments with statistically close distributions of line orientations. Such fragments characterize certain structural elements of the equipment. The article describes an algorithm that implements the proposed method using the example of solving the problem of detecting defects in current transformers, and presents a visualization of its intermediate steps.

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.

In this work, we present the development and analysis of a feature model for dynamic handwritten signature recognition to improve its effectiveness. The feature model is based on the extraction of both global features (signature length, average angle between signature vectors, range of dynamic characteristics, proportionality coefficient, average input speed) and local features (pen coordinates, pressure, azimuth, and tilt angle). We utilized the method of potentials to generate a signature template that accounts for variations in writing style. Experimental evaluation was conducted using the MCYT_Signature_100 signature database, which contains 2500 genuine and 2500 forged samples. We determined optimal compactness values for each feature, enabling us to accommodate signature writing variability and enhance recognition accuracy. The obtained results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed feature model and its potential for biometric authentication systems, presenting practical interest for information security specialists.

The presented article reveals the issue of using waste from the automotive industry of rubber products as one of the possible ways to improve the quality of asphalt pavement and, accordingly, reduce the number of repair activities and material costs for their implementation and increase the service life of the roadway. The tests carried out show that the asphalt-concrete mixture using a modifier based on active rubber powder demonstrates the best mechanical and operational characteristics. The strength and elasticity of asphalt concrete increases, as well as the abrasion resistance decreases, which leads to a longer use time of this web. Such changes in the characteristics of the roadway have a positive effect on the economic side of the issue. Improving the quality of the finished product increases the time intervals between repair actions, which reduces material and resource costs. The adhesion of the road to the rubber of cars is improved.

within the framework of the conducted research, the task of controlling a robot of a parallel structure was considered. This paper presents a model of a 3-RPR type flat parallel robot in the Matlab package, developed for conducting computational experiments. Implementation of two types motion trajectories have been simulated in order to determine the optimal structure of the position regulators of the drive joint used in the robot control system. Six structure of regulators were compared: three classical ones: PD, PID, PDD and three of their fractional-degree analogues: FOPD, FOPID, FOPDD. The FOMCON tool was used to model fractional-degree regulators. The best results for type 3-PPR robot were shown by a control system with a FOPID regulator, which indicates the expediency of using fractional-degree regulators to control parallel robots.

The article discusses the issues associated with the preparation of hot water in individual apartment heating systems that use a secondary plate heat exchanger of the boiler. The drawbacks of this approach are highlighted, including delays in hot water supply, the need to drain water from the pipeline, the inability to regulate temperature and flow rate, as well as the lack of recirculation capabilities. As an alternative, a system with a storage tank and a plate heat exchanger is proposed, which ensures stable water temperature, adjustable flow rate, resource savings, and the possibility of recirculation. Based on experimental studies, the heat transfer coefficient for heat exchangers with profiled and flat plates has been determined. Calculations of the required heat exchanger area are provided, depending on the type of plates, the volume of the storage tank, and its charging time, which allows for the optimization of hot water supply system design.
