Models and methods

Evolutionary modeling is one of the areas of artificial intelligence, which essence is the computational processes interpretation and the final forms of integral computational algorithms construction from their existence, variability and development the points of view in natural systems. All evolutionary modeling methods are of an optimization nature due to the basic use of the theory of natural selection principles. One of the most common methods of evolutionary modeling is the genetic algorithm (GA). It is the method of adaptive search for solutions based on the principles of the evolution and the natural selection with the preservation of biological terminology in a simplified form theories. Its essence is to determine the most fit individual (solution) by the value of its fitness function during evolution, considering the analysis of the heredity influences and the external environment. Despite the biological terminology, genetical algorithms are a universal computational tool that can be used to solve a wide range of complex problems, including the electric power industry. The authors considered the issue of the genetic algorithm use in the framework of calculating the steady state of the electrical network (SS EN), since the mathematical electrical network model is a system of high-order nonlinear equations, where all the restrictions imposed by the physical properties of the object under consideration are taken into account. Its solution is a rather laborious optimization problem, due to the operating electrical networks complexity. The correct solution of this system is the most critical stage in the calculation of the SS EN. It is the reason for importance and urgency of the search for SS EN calculating optimal methods task. This paper presents the development results of an analytical apparatus that made it possible to search for a solution to the problem of calculating electrical networks steady-state modes using the genetic algorithm based on special software.

The article presents a method for extracting Russian-language multicomponent terms from scientific and technical texts based on structural models of terminological collocations. The existing approaches to term extraction on the basis of the method of stable word combination extraction, statistical and hybrid methods are described, and the linguistic aspects of terminology, not covered by the listed methods, are noted. The lexical composition of scientific and technical texts is characterized, the classification of special vocabulary in scientific and technical texts is given. The structural features of terminological vocabulary have been studied. The most productive models of multi-component terminological word combinations in Russian are presented. A method for extracting Russian-language multicomponent terms from scientific and technical texts is offered, and its stages are described. It is shown that the first stage involves morphological and syntactic analysis of the text by attributing to each word its grammatical characteristics. Then there is the exclusion of parts of speech, which can not be part of the Russian multisyllabic terms, as well as stop-words, which together with the term form free word combinations. The resulting word chains are further correlated with the templates of terminological word combinations available in the database of structural models of terms, as well as the terminological dictionary for the presence of the studied candidate term. The necessity of involving a terminologist to resolve ambiguous cases is substantiated. Each step of the method for extracting Russian-language multicomponent terms in scientific and technical texts is illustrated by examples. Further research perspectives are listed, and the necessity of complicating the methods of text extraction, by further classification of terminological vocabulary according to formal and semantic structures, types of anthropomorphic terms, nomenclatural names, normativity/non-normativity of terminological units is substantiated.

The article contains the study of the capabilities of choosing such a form of joint business organization by an economic convergence initiator which would ensure the maximum growth of such business under the influence of digitalization and thereby the maximum improvement of the initiator's competitive capability. The author has developed a model of creating an economic ecosystem as a really effective ecosystem which takes into account the influence of both positive and possible negative consequences of the impact of digitalization on a joint business and ensures the maximum economic benefits of the joint business. An algorithm has been developed to implement the model in the framework of a certain level and a specific product of digitalization. The main parameters of the model and the algorithm for the implementation of the same are such terms introduced by the author as an economic ecosystem, potentially the most effective economic ecosystem, a real ecosystem, and a really effective ecosystem, which are described by indicators and costs of the economic effect. Following the steps of the algorithm which implements the model will eventually make it possible to create such a version of an economic ecosystem which would bring the highest economic effect to the initiator on a certain convergence level considered when a certain digitalization product is used in the joint business. Comparison of the versions of real ecosystems obtained for each digitalization level and product makes it possible to select the final version which would produce the maximum economic effect for the initiator with respect to convergence levels and digitalization products and hence the maximum growth of the initiator's competitive capacity. The economic ecosystem formed on the basis of the developed model and the algorithm that implements it gives the initiator of the joint business the greatest advantages in a competitive economy.

Algorithmic efficiency

The use of global binarization thresholds in image processing does not always give the correct result. This is especially common when processing images with uneven illumination. In some areas of the image, the automatically determined binarization threshold makes it possible to obtain sufficiently well visualized objects, while in other areas, the objects necessary for analysis become "overexposed" or, conversely, "shaded". In cases where it is necessary to localize all objects of interest in the image, binarization plays a very important role, especially in cases where the object of interest contains information that will be used in the next stages of processing. Multi-gradation images can contain many objects of interest, such as car license plates, train car numbers, people's faces, and defects in manufactured products. Each of these cases requires high-quality processing for subsequent recognition. If there are noises on the processed image or the brightness indicators are unevenly distributed, then the binarization process can lead to the loss of important information – the loss of a part of the symbol, the breakage of the object's contour, or, conversely, the emergence of new areas that are mistakenly added to the object of interest – shadows of other objects, dirt on the license plate sign. Therefore, the binarization process requires a very accurate preliminary calibration for all possible shooting conditions – daylight and dark hours of the day, taking into account possible noise (interference in signal transmission), extreme situations (strong hail or rain). In this article, the authors investigate the process of binarization of images with uneven illumination using several local binarization thresholds instead of one global one. It is proposed to check the histograms of the obtained fragments for the number of peaks or "modes". If the histogram of a binarized fragment is single-mode, then the given fragment is not subject to further processing and the binarization threshold on it is defined correctly. The study of the relationship between the binarization threshold and such image parameters as dispersion and smoothness has been carried out. On those fragments where the value of the average brightness measure differs from the average for all fragments, the binarization threshold is determined incorrectly. If you set the threshold value higher, closer to the average value for all fragments, then as a result binarization will be carried out correctly.

Processes and systems modeling

This work is devoted to the study of changes in color coordinates on various visualization devices during color reproduction, in particular smartphones, as one of the most commonly used devices in the modern world, which is associated with the hardware dependence of the color reproduction system. The purpose of the work is to select visualization tools, determine their technical characteristics, determine test colors for visualization on various devices, determine the tolerances in reproduction of each color when using various viewing devices. To achieve the goal, such tasks were set as the selection of images containing memorable colors. These colors are fundamental in determining the tolerances in color reproduction, since information about them is inherent in each person on the basis of his life experience and knowledge, and a change in the reproduction of memorable colors, a violation in color rendering, is the most visually noticeable. Memorable colors are converted into samples – test objects, which are used to determine coordinates in a device-independent color space. Determination of tolerances is made when changing color reproduction through the use of selective (color) correction. When solving the problem, it was noted that there are colors in which, with small changes in color coordinates, the visual component changes to a sufficiently strong degree, while other colors, with a numerically identical change, do not visually change. For the selected colors on various visualization tools, the difference in color reproduction is calculated and the calculations of color differences for different models of viewing devices with a visual difference in perception are given.

The paper considers factor models that allow predicting the yield of agricultural crops. It is shown that the main climatic parameters that affect the effective feature are the air temperature and precipitation during the initial growing season. In this case, the factors of heat supply and moisture supply can represent values for both a month and another interval close to this duration. In addition to air temperature and precipitation, the yield of grain crops is affected by time. Models can reflect the relationship of the effective feature with factors at the level of experimental fields, agricultural organizations, and municipal districts. The presence of significant regression dependencies, which can be linear and nonlinear, reduces the uncertainty of the problem of optimizing agricultural production by reducing random and interval parameters. A model of parametric programming is presented, taking into account the expressions that characterize the relationship between the yield of grain crops and meteorological parameters in two variants, in order to obtain optimal plans for the production of agricultural products by the commodity producer. An example of the implementation of an optimization model for a real economy is considered. The proposed model is designed to support decision-making in conditions of uncertainty. The work is carried out according to statistical data on the yield of wheat, barley and oats in the Usolsky, Cheremkhovsky and Irkutsk districts for 1997-2018; based on the yield of variety plots in the Usolsky, Irkutsk, Bratsky and Nukutsky districts for 2000-2018 according to the data of the State Export Commission; based on the yield of LLC "Sibirskaya Niva" for the period 2005-2018. In addition, daily air temperatures and daily precipitation in the period May–August for 1997-2018 were used for meteorological points: Usolye-Sibirskoye, Cheremkhovo, Irkutsk and Bratsk.

The relevance of the topic of the article is determined by the fact that the existing decision support systems (DMSS) provide automation of only part of the stages of a typical management cycle, completely imposing on the user such important ones as goal setting and management of the implementation of developed plans. This is determined by the objective difficulties of formalization and the dynamism of these stages, but breaks the single management process into autonomous, partially automated sections. No research is currently being conducted to solve this problem. Taking this into account, the purpose of the study was to obtain a descriptive formulation of the task of automating the processes of goal-setting and management for implementation in the DMSS. The article, using general scientific research methods, analyzes the content of the control cycle and the existing technologies for automating its elements. Using the results of the analysis, proposals were synthesized and the task was formulated to automate the stages of goal-setting and management of the implementation of plans, for implementation as part of the DMSS, approaches were proposed that can be used to implement the task.The problem of automating the initial stage of the management cycle, goal-setting, is proposed to be solved by using specialized expert systems. To solve the problem of decision support at the control stage, it is proposed to use simplified dynamic control algorithms. In a direct formulation, such a problem is posed for the first time. The article proposes a set of methods and basic algorithms that provide a solution to the problem of automating goal-setting and management processes and, in the future, their implementation in the structure of the DMSS.

The article discusses the use of situation-oriented approach to software processing word-documents. The documents under consideration are prepared by the user in the environment of the Microsoft Word processor or its analogs and are used in the future as data sources. The openness of the Office Open XML and Open Document Format made it possible to apply the concept of virtual documents mapped to ZIP archives for programmatic access to XML components of word documents in a situational environment. The importance of developing preliminary agreements regarding the placement of information in the document for subsequent search and retrieval, for example, using pre-prepared templates, is substantiated. For the DOCX and ODT formats, the article discusses the use of key phrases, bookmarks, content controls, custom XML components to organize the extraction of entered data. For each option, tree-like models of access to the extracted data, as well as the corresponding XPath expressions, are built. It is noted that the use of one or another option depends on the functionality and limitations of the word processor and is characterized by varying complexity of developing a blank template, entering data by the user and programming data extraction. The applied solution is based on entering metadata into the article using content controls placed in a stub template and bound to elements of a custom XML component. The developed hierarchical situational model of HSM provides extraction of an XML component, loading it into a DOM object and XSLT transformations to obtain the resulting data: an error report and JavaScript code for subsequent use of the extracted metadata.
