Problem 114
- Title: Simulating the Dynamics of Physical Systems with Physics-Informed Neural Networks
- Problem description: The problem of choosing the optimal model for predicting the dynamics of a physical system is being solved. Under the dynamics of the system is understood the change in time of the parameters of the system. Neural networks do not have a priori knowledge about the system being modeled, which does not allow obtaining optimal parameters that take into account physical laws. The Lagrangian neural network takes into account the law of conservation of energy when modeling dynamics. In this paper, a Noetherian Agrangian neural network is proposed that takes into account the laws of conservation of momentum and angular momentum in addition to the law of conservation of energy. It is shown that for this problem the Noetherian Lagrangian neural network is optimal among the fully connected neural network model, the neural network with long-term short-term memory and the Lagrangian neural network. The simulation comparison was carried out on artificially generated data for the double pendulum system, which is the simplest chaotic system. The results of the experiments confirm the hypothesis that the introduction of a priori knowledge about the physics of the system improves the quality of the model.

The main idea: the transfer goes through pairs of neurons and the most similar distributions (expectation and covariance matrix) from teacher to student.
- Novelty: The proposed transfer significantly reduces complexity without loss of accuracy and solves the problem of interchangeability of neurons by identifying them.

Problem 117
- Title: Search for dependencies of biomechanical systems (do people dance in pairs or independently?) and (Method of Convergence Cross-Mpping, Takens theorem)
- Problem description: When forecasting complex time series that depend on exogenous factors and have multiple periodicity, it is required to solve the problem of identifying related pairs of series. It is assumed that the addition of these series to the model improves the quality of the forecast. In this paper, to detect relationships between time series, it is proposed to use the convergent cross-mapping method. With this approach, two time series are connected if their trajectory subspaces exist, the projections onto which are connected. In turn, the projections of series onto trajectory subspaces are related if the neighborhood of the phase trajectory of one series is mapped to the neighborhood of the phase trajectory of another series. The problem of finding trajectory subspaces that reveal the connection of series is set.

Problem 119
- Title: Analysis of the dynamics of multiple learning
- Problem description: Consider a supervised multiple learning problems in which the training set is not fixed but is updated depending on the predictions of the trained model on the test set. For the process of multiple training, prediction and updating of the sample, we build a mathematical model and study the properties of this process based on the constructed model. Let f(x) be a feature distribution density function, G be an algorithm for training the model, generating predictions on the test set and mixing predictions into the training set, as a result of which the feature distribution changes. Let the space of non-negative smooth functions F(x) be given, whose integral on R^n is equal to one. f_{t+1}(x) = G(f_{t})(x), where G(f) is the evolution operator on the space of these functions F and the initial function f_0(x) is known. In general, G can be an arbitrary operator, not necessarily smooth and/or continuous. Question 0. Find conditions on the operator G under which the image of G lies in the same class of distribution density functions F. In particular, should G be bounded, the operator norm ||G|| <= 1, so that the image of G(f) \in F is also a distribution density function for any f from F? Does there exist a unit in the space F with respect to the operator G, and what will be the identity function f in such F? Question 1. Under what conditions will there be a t_0 on G such that for all t > t_0 the tail of the sequence {f} will be bounded? Question 2. Under what conditions will the operator G have a fixed point? Data In a computational experiment, it is proposed to check the significance of the restriction / the significance of the conditions under which the answer to questions 0-2 is obtained. For example, for a problem of linear regression and/or regression with a multilevel fully connected neural network with different proportions of predictions mixed into the training set on synthetic data sets.

Problem 125
- Title: Influence of the lockdown on the dynamics of the spread of the epidemic
- Problem description: The introduction of a lockdown is considered an effective measure to combat the epidemic. However, contrary to intuition, it turned out that under certain conditions, a lockdown can lead to an increase in the epidemic. This effect is absent for the classical models of the spread of the epidemic “on average”, but was revealed when modeling the epidemic on the contact graph. The problem is to find formulaic and quantitative relationships between the parameters under which the lockdown can lead to an increase in the epidemic. It is necessary both to identify such relationships in the SEIRS/SEIR/SIS/etc models based on the SEIRS+ epidemiological distribution framework (and its modifications), and to theoretically substantiate the relationships obtained from specific implementations of the epidemia.
- Data: The problem involves working with model and synthetic data: there are ready-made data, and it is also possible to generate new ones in the process of solving the problem. This The problem belongs to unsupervised learning, since the implementation of the epidemic on the contact graph has a high proportion of random events, and therefore requires analysis on average over many synthetically generated implementations of the epidemic

- Base algorithm: Retrain the model directly.
- Solution: The proposed method is to represent a deep learning model as a hypernet (a network that generates the parameters of another network) using a Bayesian approach. Probabilistic assumptions about the parameters of deep learning models are introduced, and a variational lower estimate of the Bayesian validity of the model is maximized. The variation estimate is considered as a conditional value, depending on the information about the problem data.

Problem 131
- Title: Iterative improvement of the topic model with user feedback
- Problem description: Topic modeling is widely used in socio-humanitarian research to understand the thematic structure of large text collections. A typical use case would involve the user rating topics as relevant, irrelevant, and junk. If the number of garbage topics is too large, then the user tries to build another model. The problem is to use custom markup for each such rebuild in such a way that relevant topics are preserved, new relevant ones stand out from irrelevant and garbage topics if possible, and there are as few garbage topics as possible.
- Data: Any collection of natural language texts about which the thematic structure is known (about how many topics, how many documents on different topics) is suitable as data. For example, you can take a collection of Lenta news, a Wikipedia dump, posts from Habrahabr, 20 Newsgroups, Reuters, articles from PostNauka. The subject of the collection should be of interest to the researcher himself, so that there is motivation to evaluate topics manually.

- Solution: Using the BigARTM theme modeling library. Use of smoothing and decorrelation regularizers. Development of methods of initialization when rebuilding thematic models. Finding a ready-made tool or developing a simple, fast, convenient way to view and markup topics.
- Novelty: The problem of non-uniqueness and instability of models still does not have a final solution in probabilistic thematic modeling.

The object of the training set is a sequence of references to articles from the bibliography mentioned in the review sections. For each document there is a set of metadata - year of publication, journal, number of citations, number of citations of the author, etc. Also, there is an abstract and, possibly, the full text of the article. - Kendall's rank correlation coefficient is used as a metric.

Problem 133
- Title: Diffusion models in the problem of generating the structure of a molecule with optimal energy
- Problem description: For an organic small molecule (the number of atoms is less than 100), knowing only the topology of the molecular graph is not enough to obtain the spatial structure. A molecule can have many possible configurations (conformers), each of which corresponds to a local minimum of the potential. In practice, of greatest interest are the most stable conformers, which have the lowest energy. Recent studies show the success of the application of diffusion models for the generation of molecular structures. This approach shows advanced results in the problem of generating molecules and their conformers for a small number of heavy atoms (QM9 dataset up to 9 heavy atoms in a molecule), as well as in assessing the binding of a molecule and a protein. It is proposed to build a model for the generation of conformers with minimum energy for larger molecules.

Problem 134
- Title: Combining distillation of models and data
- Problem description: Knowledge distillation is the transfer of knowledge from a more meaningful representation to a compact, concise representation. There are two kinds of knowledge distillation. The first is the distillation of models. In this case, the large model transfers knowledge (distilled) to the small model. The second is data distillation. In this case, a minimum data set is created, on which, after training the model, it achieves a quality comparable to training on a full sample. At the moment, there is no solution that can implement simultaneous distillation of model and knowledge. Therefore, the goal of The problem is to propose a basic solution for model distillation and compare with approaches to model distillation and data distillation.

For adaptation, it is proposed to build a new model of greater complexity with further transfer of information from a simple model to it.

Problem 93.2022
- Title: Estimating the risk of forest fires using machine learning methods.
- Problem description: Wildfire risk prediction based on climate variables (water/air temperature, atmospheric pressure) since 1991. Forecasting is carried out (a) in the short-term range (2-5 years; stationary time series) and (b) in the long-term range (up to 50 years; non-stationary time series). A feature of forecasting in the long range is the (probable) significant change in the behavior of climate variables (CMIP5 scenarios). The key features of problem (1) are the need for a sufficiently accurate prediction of extreme risk values (maximum values of the time series), while the algorithm can make a significant number of errors in the region of small values of the series. (2) the spatial data structure of the series.

- Base algorithm: (1) method from article 1, (2). ST-LSTM
- Solution: is proposed to solve the problem in two steps. At the first step, Algorithm 1 (with the addition of a spatial component) restores (averaged over a certain range) the behavior of the time series. Next, the discrepancy between the values of the series and the model is analyzed. Based on this, the noise distribution is restored and a probabilistic model is built to achieve a certain level of risk in a given territory in the required time range.

Problem 95.2022
- Title: Identification the transmission rate and time-dependent noise for the stochastic SIER disease model with vital rates (Time-dependent parameter identification for a stochastic epidemic model)
- Problem description: The problem is set to find the optimal time-dependent parameters for the known stochastic SIER disease propagation model. The optimal parameters are the parameters of the stochastic equation, under which the sample of the rate of spread of the virus in a limited population, when using comparison with the optimal sample. It is proposed to use the adaptive generalized method of moments with local delay (LLGMM) based on the generalized method of moments (GMM).
- Data: Hopkins Institution's Coronavirus Increasing Data is available from various sources. You can also download the data yourself from the link.
- Literature:
- Anna Mummert, Olusegun M. Otunuga Parameter identification for a stochastic SEIRS epidemic model: case study influenza PDF
- David M. Drukker Understanding the generalized method of moments (GMM): A simple example LINK
- Keywords: Compartment disease model, Stochastic disease model, Local lagged adapted generalized method of moments, Time-dependent transmission rate
- Base algorithm: there are several different options on the Internet, for example, the article B.Tseytlin Actually forecasting COVID-19 LINK, the current program does not give good convergence, because it always uses a fixed number of points for prediction
- Novelty: a new LLGMM method of moments that increases the accuracy of prediction& The basic idea of the method of moments is to use in moment conditions (moment functions or simply moments) instead of mathematical expectations, sample means, which, according to the law of large numbers under sufficiently weak conditions, should converges asymptotically to the mathematical expectations. Since the number of conditions for moments in the general case is greater than the number of estimated parameters, this system of conditions does not have a unique solution. The generalized method of moments suggests a situation where it is possible to obtain more conditions for moments than estimated parameters. The method constructs moment conditions (moment functions), also called orthogonality conditions, in a more general form as some function of model parameters and data. The parameters are estimated by minimizing a certain positive quadratic form from the sample means for the moments (moment functions). The quadratic form is in an iterative process with the required accuracy. If the model contains more than one parameter (this is our case) to be identified, then the second and higher moments are used to construct moment conditions. LLGMM defines time-dependent parameters by using a limited number of "points" in a data time series to form moment conditions, rather than the entire series. So the method is late. In addition, the number of time series elements used varies for each estimate over time. Thus, the method is local and adaptive.

Problem 96.2022
- Title: Impact of the lockdown on the dynamics of the epidemic
- Problem description: The introduction of a lockdown is considered an effective measure to combat the epidemic. However, contrary to intuition, it turned out that under certain conditions, a lockdown can lead to an increase in the epidemic. This effect is absent for classical models “on average”, but was revealed when modeling the spread of the epidemic, taking into account the contact graph. The problem is to find formulaic and quantitative relationships between the parameters under which the lockdown can lead to an increase in the epidemic.
- Data: Real data on the spread of the epidemic on contact graphs, especially considering the need for scenario analysis, is not available. The problem involves working with model and synthetic data: there are ready-made data, and it is also assumed that new ones can be generated in the process of solving the problem.

Problem 102.2022
- Title: Graph neural networks in the problem of regression of pairs of graphs
- Problem description: Considered The problem regression on a pair of graphs. In a pair, each vertex of one graph corresponds to a vertex of the second graph. It is required to establish the optimal architecture of the graph neural network, taking into account the given order specified on the vertices.
- Data: It is suggested to use chemical reaction datasets github. For a given dataset, a pair of graphs is specified in a natural way. These are graphs of molecules of initial substances and products of a chemical reaction.
- Literature:
- Base algorithm: The graph relationship is set at the level of graph embeddings. That is, a separate embedding vector is built for each graph, and then the vector data is concatenated. In this case, information about the correspondence of vertices in graphs is not explicitly used.
- Novelty: On the example of the architecture of a graph neural network with fixed hyperparameters, from a theoretical and practical point of view, to study ways to add information about the relationship of graphs to a graph neural network.

Problem 103.2022
- Requirement: Fluent English to collaborate, Python and PyTorch (medium level and higher), Git, Bash, Background in computational biology is a plus
- Introduction: See full description here. Proteins are involved in several biological reactions by means of interactions with other proteins or with other molecules such as nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and ligands. Among these interaction types, protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are considered to be one of the key factors as they are involved in most of the cellular processes [1]. The binding of two proteins can be viewed as a reversible and rapid process in an equilibrium that is governed by the law of mass action. Binding affinity is the strength of the interaction between two (or more than two) molecules that bind reversibly (interact). It is translated into physico-chemical terms in the dissociation constant Kd, the latter being the concentration of free protein at which half of all binding sites of the second protein type are occupied [2].
- Objectives: Three main objectives of this work can be formulated as follows: 1. Refine PDBbind [12] data and a standard binding affinity dataset [3], and compile a novel benchmark of PPIs with known binding affinity values. 2. Employ graph-learning toolset to predict binding affinities of PPIs from the new dataset. 3. Benchmark the resulting method against existing state-of-the-art approaches
- Data & Metrics: In this work, we will operate on experimentally-observed three-dimensional structures of protein-protein complexes annotated with the binding affinity values. Two main sources of data are the following:
- PDBbind dataset [12] that includes around 2k PPIs
- Standard dataset introduced in [3] that includes 144 PPIs As main regression metrics, we suggest to consider Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Pearson correlation.
- Novelty: To the best of our knowledge, geometric deep learning methods have never been applied to the protein-protein binding affinity prediction problem so far.

Problem 109.2022
- Title: Continuous time when building a BCI neural interface
- Problem description: In Signal Decoding The problems, data is represented as multivariate time series. When solving problems, a discrete representation is used time. However, recent work on neural ordinary differential equations illustrates the ability to work with the hidden state of recurrent neural networks, as with solutions to differential equations. This allows us to consider time series as continuous in time.
- Data: For classification:
- dataset P300, according to which the article was written
- dataset DEAPdataset similar to it in the format of records.
- Definition of emotions.
- Same SEED emotion classification
- Not EEG, but accelerometer data with activity/position classification
- For regression, you can take the same neurotycho, if you want to complicate life somewhat with respect to classification problems.

Problem 104.2022
- Title: (Clarification awaited) Cross-language duplicate search
- Problem description: The problem of cross-language search for text plagiarism is set. The search for duplicates of the original text is carried out among texts in 100 different languages.
- Data:
- A selection of scientific articles from the scientific electronic library eLIBRARY.ru, as well as articles from the Wikipedia online encyclopedia, is used as a training sample.
- The State Rubricator of Scientific and Technical Information (SRSTI), the Universal Decimal Classifier (UDC) are considered as scientific rubricators.
- The following are used as search quality metrics:
- average frequency - the frequency, averaged over the control languages, with which the query document falls into the top 10% of documents among which the search is carried out
- average percentage - the percentage of documents, averaged over the control languages, that are in the top 10% of translation documents that have the same scientific heading as the query document
- Literature: Vorontsov K. V. Probabilistic thematic modeling: review of models and additive regularization PDF
- Base algorithm:
- Hierarchical topic models
- Topic models with one-pass document vectorization
- Solution: To solve the search problem, a multimodal thematic model was built. 100 languages were used as modalities, as well as scientific headings, which included articles from the training data. A series of experiments was carried out to improve search quality metrics, including: selection of the optimal tokenization method, addition of regularizers, selection of thematic vector comparison functions, ranking functions, etc.
- Novelty: Most systems for finding documents in large collections are based on vectorization of the documents in the collection and the search document in one way or another. The latest ways to vectorize documents are usually limited to one language. In this case, the problem arises of creating a uniform system for obtaining vector embeddings of a multilingual collection of documents. The proposed approach makes it possible to train a topic model that encodes information about the distribution of words in a text, regardless of their language affiliation. Also, the solution is subject to restrictions on the size of the model and training time, due to the possibility of practical use of the described model.

Problem 52.2022
- Title: (pending clarification) Predicting the quality of protein models using spherical convolutions on 3D graphs.
- Problem description: The purpose of this work is to create and study a new convolution operation on three-dimensional graphs within the framework of solving the problem of assessing the quality of three-dimensional protein models (The problem regression on graph nodes).
- Data: Models generated by CASP contestants are used.
- Literature:
- Base algorithm: As a base algorithm, we will use a neural network based on the graph convolution method, which is generally described in [4].
- Solution: The presence of a peptide chain in proteins allows you to uniquely enter local coordinate systems for all graph nodes, which makes it possible to create and apply spherical filters regardless of the graph topology.
- Novelty: In general, graphs are irregular structures, and in many Graph Learning The problems, sample objects do not have a single topology. Therefore, the existing operations of convolutions on graphs are greatly simplified or do not generalize to different topologies. In this paper, we propose to consider a new method for constructing a convolution operation on three-dimensional graphs, for which it is possible to uniquely choose local coordinate systems associated with each node.

Problem 74.2021
- Title: Existence conditions for hidden feedback loops in recommender systems
- Problem description: In recommender systems, the effect of artificially inadvertently limiting the user's choice due to the adaptation of the model to his preferences (echo chamber / filter bubble) is known. The effect is a special case of hidden feedback loops. (see - Analysis H.F.L.). It is expressed in the fact that by recommending the same objects of interest to the user, the algorithm maximizes the quality of its work. The problem is a) lack of variety b) saturation / volatility of the user's interests.
- Problem description:It is clear that the algorithm does not know the interests of the user and the user is not always honest in his choice. Under what conditions, what properties of the learning algorithm and dishonesty (deviation of the user's choice from his interests) will the indicated effect be observed? Clarification. The recommendation algorithm gives the user a_t objects to choose from. The user selects one of them c_t from Bernoulli from the model of interest mu(a_t) . Based on the user's choice, the algorithm changes its internal state w_t and gives the next set of objects to the user. On an infinite horizon, you need to maximize the total reward sum c_t. Find the conditions for the existence of an unlimited growth of user interest in the proposed objects in a recommender system with the Thomson Sampling (TS) MAB algorithm under conditions of noisy user choice c_t. Without noise, it is known that there is always unlimited growth (in the model) [1].
- Data: are created as part of the experiment (simulation model) by analogy with the article [1], external data is not required.

- Base algorithm: The initial mathematical model of the phenomenon under study is described in the article [1]. The method of experimental research is in the article [2]. The base source code is available at [3]
- Solution: It is necessary to derive conditions for the existence of positive feedback for the Thomson Sampling Multi-armed Bandit algorithm based on the known theoretical properties of this algorithm. Then check their performance in the simulation model. For verification, a series of experiments is performed with the study of parameter ranges and the estimation of the error (variance) of the simulation. The results are compared with the previously constructed mathematical model of the effect. There is an implementation of the experiment system that can be improved for this The problem.
- Novelty: The studied positive feedback effect is observed in real and model systems and is described in many publications as an undesirable phenomenon. There is his model for the limited case of the absence of noise in the user's actions, which is not implemented in practice. Under the proposed conditions, The problem has not previously been posed and not solved for recommender systems. For the regression problem, the solution is known.

- Title: Determining the phase and disorder of human movement by signals from wearable devices
- Problem description: A wide class of periodic movements of a person or an animal is investigated. It is required to find the beginning and end of the movement. It is required to understand when one type of movement ends and another begins. For this, The problem of segmentation of time series is solved. The phase trajectory of one movement is constructed and its actual dimension is found. The purpose of the work is to describe a method for finding the minimum dimension of the phase space. By repetition of the phase, segment the periodic actions of a person. It is also necessary to propose a method for extracting the zero phase in a given space for a specific action. Bonus: find the discord in the phase trajectory and indicate the change in the type of movement. Bonus 2: do this for different phone positions by proposing invariant transformation models.
- Data: The data consists of time series read from a three-axis accelerometer with an explicit periodic class (walking, running, walking up and down stairs, etc.). It is possible to get your own data from a mobile device, or get model data from the dataset UCI HAR

- Novelty: In Motrenko's article, the space dimension is equal to two. This shortcoming must be corrected. The phase trajectory must not intersect itself. And if we can distinguish one type of movement from another within one period (switched from running to a step and realized this within one and a half steps), it will be great.

Problem 78. 2021
- Title: Importance Sampling for Scenario Approximation of Chance Constrained Optimization
- Problem description: Optimization problems with probabilistic constraints are often encountered in engineering practice. For example, The problem of minimizing energy generation in energy networks, with (randomly fluctuating) renewable energy sources. In this case, it is necessary to comply with safety restrictions: voltages at generators and consumers, as well as currents on the lines, must be less than certain thresholds. However, even in the simplest situations, The problem cannot be resolved exactly. The best-known approach is the chance constrained optimization methods, which often give a good approximation. An alternative approach is sampling the network operation modes and solving the problem on the data set of the classification * Problem description: separating bad modes from good ones with a given error of the second kind. At the same time, for a sufficiently accurate solution, a very large amount of data is required, which often makes the problem numerically inefficient. We suggest using “importance sampling” to reduce the number of scenarios. Importance sampling consists of substituting a sample from a nominal solution, which often carries no information since all bad events are very rare, with a synthetic distribution that samples the sample in a neighborhood of bad events.
- Problem statement: find the minimum of a convex function (price) under probabilistic constraints (the probability of exceeding a certain threshold for a system of linear/quadratic functions is small) and numerically show the effectiveness of sampling in this problem.
- Data: Data is available in the pypower and matpower packages as csv files.

- In addition, the authors of the problem have a draft of the article, in which you need to add a numerical part.
- Base algorithm: A list of basic algorithms is provided in this lecture LINK
- Solution: in numerical experiments, you need to compare the sample size requirements for standard methods (scenario approximation) and using importance sampling to obtain a solution of comparable quality (and inverse The problem, having equal sample lengths, compare the quality of the solution)
- Novelty: The problem has long been known in the community and scenario approximation is one of the main methods. At the same time, importance sampling helps to significantly reduce the number of scenarios. We have recently received a number of interesting results on how to calculate optimal samplers, with their use the complexity of the problem will be significantly reduced

Problem 79.2021
- Title: Improving Bayesian Inference in Physics Informed Machine Learning
- Problem description: Machine learning methods are currently widely used in physics, in particular, in solving turbulence problems or analyzing the stability of physical networks. At the same time, the key issue is which modes to choose for training models. A frequent choice is a sequence of points that uniformly covers the admissible set. However, often such sequences are not very informative, especially if analytical methods give a region where the system is guaranteed to be stable. The problem proposes several methods of sampling: allowing to take into account this information. Our goal is to compare them and find the one that requires the smallest sample size (empirical comparison).
- Data: The experiment is proposed to be carried out on model and real data. The simulation experiment consists in analyzing the stability of (slightly non-linear) differential equations (synthetic data is self-generated). The second experiment is to analyze the stability of energy systems (data from matpower, pypower, GridDyn).

- Solution: sampling methods by importance, in particular the extension of the approach (Boy, Ryi, 2014) and (Owen, Maximov, Chertkov, 2017) and their applications to ML/DL for physical problems

Problem 81.2021
- Title: NAS — Generation and selection of neural network architectures
- Problem description: The problem of choosing the optimal neural network architecture is set as The problem of sampling the vector of structural parameters. The optimality criterion is defined in terms of the accuracy, complexity and stability of the model. The sampling procedure itself consists of two steps: generating a new structure and rejecting this structure if it does not satisfy the optimality criterion. It is proposed to explore various methods of sampling. The formulation of the problem of choosing the optimal structure is described in Potanin-1
- Data: : Two separate sets are offered as data. The first one consists of one element, this is the popular MNIST dataset. Pros - is a strong and generally accepted baseline, was used as a benchmark for the WANN article, quite large (multi-class classification). The second set is a set of datasets for the regression The problem. Size varies from very small to quite large. Here is a link to the dataset and laptop to download the data data.

- Solution: A number of experiments have already been performed, where sampling is performed by a genetic algorithm. Acceptable results have been obtained. It is proposed to analyze and improve them. Namely, to distinguish two modules: generation and deviation and compare several types of sampling. Basic - Importance sampling, desirable - Metropolis-Hastings (or even Metropolis-Langevin) sampling. Since the genetic algorithm is considered by us as a process with jumps, it is proposed to take this into account when designing the sampling procedure. The bonus of MH is that it has a Bayesian interpretation. The first level of Bayesian inference as applied to MH is described in [Informatica]. It is required either to rewrite it in terms of the distribution of structural parameters, or to describe both levels in general, moving the structural parameters to the second level (by the way, approximately the same will be in the Aduenko problem).
- Novelty: Neural networks excel at The problems of computer vision, reinforcement learning, and natural language processing. One of the main goals of neural networks is to perform well The problems that are currently solved exclusively by humans, that is, natural human neural networks. Artificial neural networks still work very differently from natural neural networks. One of the main differences is that natural neural networks evolve over time, changing the strength of connections and their architecture. Artificial neural networks can adjust the strength of connections using weights, but cannot change their architecture. Therefore, The problem of choosing the optimal structures of neural networks for specific The problems seems to be an important step in the development of the capabilities of neural network models.

- Problem description: The problem of approximating a multi-domain sample by a single multi-model - a mixture of Experts is considered. As data, it is supposed to use a sample that contains several domains. There is no domain label for each object. Each domain is approximated by a local model. The paper considers a two-stage The problem optimization based on the EM algorithm.
- Data: Samples of reviews from the Amazon site for different types of goods are used as data. It is supposed to use a linear model as a local model, and use tf-idf vectors within each domain as an indicative description of reviews.

- Novelty: At the moment, in machine learning there are more and more The problems related to data that are taken from different sources. In this case, there are samples that consist of a large number of domains. At the moment, there is no complete theoretical justification for constructing mixtures of local models for approximating such types of samples.

Problem 17.2021
- Title: BCI: Selection of consistent models for building a neural interface
- Problem: When building brain-computer interface systems, simple, stable models are used. An important step in building an interface is such a model is an adequate choice of model. A wide range of models is considered: linear, simple neural networks, recurrent networks, transformers. The peculiarity of the problem is that when making a prediction, it is required to model not only the initial signal taken from the cerebral cortex, but also the target signal taken from the limbs. Thus, two models are required. In order for them to work together, a space of agreements is being built. It is proposed to explore the properties of this space and the properties of the resulting forecast (neural interface) on various pairs of models.

It is proposed to investigate the accuracy, complexity and stability of pairs of various models.

- Title: Trajectory Regularization of Deep Learning Model Parameters Optimization Based on Knowledge Distillation
- Problem description: The problem of optimizing the parameters of a deep learning model is considered. The case is considered when the responses of a more complex model (teacher model) are available during optimization. The classical approach to solving such a problem is learning based on the responses of a complex model (knowledge distillation). Assignment of hyperparameters is made empirically based on the results of the model on delayed sampling. In this paper, we propose to consider a modification of the approach to knowledge distillation, in which the coefficient of significance of the distilling term, as well as its gradients, act as hyperparameters. Both of these groups of parameters allow you to adjust the optimization of the model parameters. To optimize hyperparameters, it is proposed to consider the optimization problem as a two-level optimization problem, where at the first level of optimization The problem of optimizing the model parameters is solved, and at the second level The problem of optimizing hyperparameters is approximately solved by the value of the loss function on the delayed sample.
- Data: Sampling of CIFAR-10 images

- Basic algorithm: Model optimization without distillation and with standard distillation approach

Problem 87.2021
- Title: Bayesian choice of structures of generalized linear models
- Problem description: The work is devoted to testing methods for feature selection. It is assumed that the sample under study contains a significant number of multicollinear features. Multicollinearity is a strong correlation between the features selected for analysis that jointly affect the target vector, which makes it difficult to estimate regression parameters and identify the relationship between features and the target vector. There is a set of time series containing the readings of various sensors that reflect the state of the device. The readings of the sensors correlate with each other. It is necessary to choose the optimal set of features for solving the forecasting problem.
- Novelty: One of the most preferred feature selection algorithms has been published. It uses structural parameters. But there is no theoretical justification. It is proposed to build a theory by describing and analyzing various functions of a priori distribution of structural parameters. In works on the search for structures of neural networks, there is also no clear theory and a list of a priori assumptions.
- Data: Multivariate time series with readings from various sensors from paper 4, for starters, all samples from paper 1.

Problem 88.2021
- Name: Search for the boundaries of the iris by the method of circular projections
- Problem: Given a monochrome bitmap of the eye, examples. The approximate position of the center of the pupil is also known. The word "approximate" means that the calculated center of the pupil is no more than half of its true radius from the true one. It is necessary to determine the approximate positions of the circles approximating the pupil and iris. The algorithm must be very fast.
- Data: About 200 thousand eye images. For each, the position of the true circles is marked - for the purpose of training and testing the method being created.
- Basic algorithm: To speed up work with the image, it is proposed to aggregate data using circular projections of brightness. Circular projection is a function that depends on the radius, the value of which P(r) is equal to the integral of the directed image brightness gradient over a circle of radius r (or along an arc of a circle). Example for one arc (right quadrant) and for four arcs. Having built some circular projections, based on them, you can try to determine the position of the inner and outer borders of the iris (ring) using heuristics and / or a neural network. It is interesting to evaluate the capabilities of the neural network in this The problem.

Problem 53.2021
- Title: Solution of an optimization problem combining classification and regression to estimate the binding energy of a protein and small molecules.
- Problem description: The goal of the problem is to solve an optimization problem with classification and regression loss functions applied to biological data.
- Data: Approximately 12,000 complexes of proteins with small molecules. For classification, for each of them there is 1 correct position in space and 18 incorrect ones generated, for regression, each complex corresponds to the value of the binding constant (proportional to energy). The main descriptors are histograms of distributions of distances between different atoms.
- References:
- Base algorithm: In the classification The problem, we used an algorithm similar to linear SVM, whose relationship with the energy estimate, which is outside the scope of the classification The problem, is described in the article https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01591154/. For MSE, there is already a formulated dual The problem as a regression loss function, with the implementation of which we can start.
- Solution: The first step is to solve the problem with the MSE in the loss function using a solver that is convenient for you. The main difficulty may be the large dimensionality of the data, but they are sparse. Further it will be possible to change the wording of the problem.
- Novelty: Many models used to predict the interactions of proteins with ligands are "retrained" for some The problem. For example, models that are good at predicting binding energies may be poor at selecting a protein-binding molecule from a variety of non-binding ones, and models that are good at determining the correct geometry of the complex may be poor at predicting energies. In this problem, we propose to consider a new approach to combat such overfitting, since the combination of classification and regression loss functions seems to us to be a very natural regularization.

- Title: Alignment of image elements using metric models.
- Problem description: Character set specified. Each symbol is represented by one file - an image. Image pixel size may vary. All images are known to belong to the same class, such as faces, letters, flowers, or cars. (A more complicated option is to one class, which we are studying and noise classes.) It is known that each image can be combined with another with the help of an equalizing transformation up to noise, or up to some average image. (This image may or may not be present in the sample). This leveling transformation is specified in the base case by a neural network, and in the proposed case - by a parametric transformation from some given class (the first is a special case of the second). The aligned image is compared with the original one using the distance function. If the distance between two images is statistically significant, it is concluded that the images belong to the same class. It is required to 1) propose an adequate model of the alignment transformation that takes into account the assumptions about the nature of the image (for example, only rotation and proportional scaling), 2) propose a distance function, 3) propose a method for finding the average image.
- Data: Synthetic and real 1) pictures - faces and symbols with rotation and stretch transformation, 2) faces and cars with 3D rotation transformation with 2D projection. Synthetic images are proposed to be created manually using 1) photographs of a sheet of paper, 2) photographs of the surface of the drawing on a balloon.

- Title: Detection of correlations between activity in social networks and capitalization of companies
- Problem description: At present, the significant impact on stock quotes, company capitalization and the success or failure of an IPO depends on social factors such as public opinion expressed on social media. A recent notable example is the change in GameStore quotes caused by the surge in activity on Reddit. Our The problem at the first stage is to identify quotes between the shares of companies in different segments and activity in social networks. That is, it is necessary to identify correlations between significant changes in the company's capitalization and previous bursts (positive or negative) of its discussion in social networks. That is, it is necessary to find the minimum of the loss function when restoring the dependence in various classes of models (parametrics, neural networks, etc.). This The problem is part of a large project to analyze the analysis of markets and the impact of social factors on risks (within a team of 5-7 professors), which will lead to a series of publications sufficient to defend a dissertation.
- Data: The problem has a significant engineering context, the data is downloads from quotes on the Moscow Exchange, as well as NYT and reddit data (crawling and parsing is done by standard tools). The student working on this The problem must have strong engineering skills and a desire to engage in both the practice of machine learning and the engineering parts of The problem.

- Name: Finding a Pupil in an Eye Image Using the Luminance Projection Method
- Problem: Given a monochrome bitmap of the eye, examples. It is necessary to determine the approximate coordinates of the center of the pupil. The word "approximate" means that the calculated pupil center must lie inside a circle centered at the pupil's true center and half the true radius. The algorithm must be very fast.
- Data: About 200 thousand eye images. For each, the position of the true circle is marked - for the purpose of training and testing the method being created.
Basic algorithm: To speed up work with the image, it is proposed to aggregate data using brightness projections. Image brightness is a function of two discrete arguments. Its projection on the horizontal axis is equal to. Similarly, projections are constructed on axes with an inclination. Having built several projections (two, four), based on them, you can try to determine the position of the pupil (compact dark area) using heuristics and / or a neural network. It is interesting to evaluate the capabilities of the neural network in this The problem.

Problem 88c.2021
- Name: Searching for a century in an image as a parabolic contour using the projection method.
- Problem: Given a monochrome bitmap of the eye, examples. It is necessary to find the contour of the upper eyelid as a parabola, that is, to determine the parameters.
- Data: About 200 thousand eye images. For some (about 2500), a human expert marked the position of a parabola that approximates the eyelid.
- Basic algorithm: The first step is pre-processing the image with a vertical gradient filter with further binarization, below is a typical result. There are various options for the next step. For example, if the coordinates of the pupil are known, you can set the region of interest (from above) and in it, using the selected points, construct a parabola by approximation using the least squares method. An example result is given below. More subtle methods are possible, such as finding a parabola using the Hough transform (see Wikipedia). Another way is to use projective methods (Radon transform). The main idea: after specifying the coefficient , apply a coordinate transformation to the image, as a result of which all parabolas of the form formula turn into lines of the form , then, given the coefficient , apply the coordinate transformation where , after which the oblique lines of the formula form become horizontal, which are easy to determine, for example, by horizontal projection (by summing the values in the rows of the matrix of the resulting image. If the coefficients are guessed correctly, the perabola representing the eyelid will give a clear maximum in the projection. By going through the formula (having a physical meaning), you can find those that give the maximum projection value, and consider that the desired parabola - eyelid.

Problem 62.2021
- Title: Construction of a method for dynamic alignment of multidimensional time series, resistant to local signal fluctuations.
- Problem description: In the process of working with multidimensional time series, the situation of the close proximity of sensors corresponding to different measurement channels is common. As a result, small signal shifts in space can lead to signal peak fixation by neighboring sensors, which leads to significant differences in measurements in terms of L2 distance.
Thus, small signal shifts lead to significant fluctuations in the readings of the sensors. The problem of constructing a distance function between points of time series that is resistant to noise generated by small spatial signal shifts is considered. It is necessary to consider the problem in the approximation of the presence of a map of the location of the sensors. - Data:
- Monkey brain activity measurements
- Artificially created data (several options must be proposed, for example signal movement in space clockwise and counterclockwise)
- References:
- Base algorithm: L2 distance between a pair of measurements.
- Solution: Use the DTW distance function between two multidimensional time series. Two time axes are aligned, while inside the DTW functional, the distance between the i-th and j-th measurements is chosen such that it is resistant to local “shifts” of the signal. It is required to offer such functionality. The basic solution is L2, the improved solution is DTW between the i-th and j-th dimensions (dtw inside dtw).
You can suggest some modification, for example, the distance between the hidden layers of the autoencoder for points i and j. - Novelty: A method for aligning multidimensional time series is proposed that takes into account small signal fluctuations in space.

Problem 63.2021
- Title: Hierarchical alignment of time sequences.
- Problem description: The problem of alignment of sequences of difficult events is considered. An example is the complex behavior of a person: when considering data from IMU sensors, one can put forward a hypothesis: there is an initial signal, there are aggregates of “elementary actions” and there are aggregates of “actions” of a person. Each of the indicated levels of abstraction can be distinguished and operated on exactly by it.
In order to accurately recognize the sequence of actions, it is possible to use metric methods (for example, DTW, as a method that is resistant to time shifts). For a more accurate quality of timeline alignment, it is possible to carry out alignment at different levels of abstraction.
It is proposed to explore such a hierarchical approach to sequence alignment, based on the possibility of applying alignment algorithms to objects of different structures, having a distance function on them. - References:

- DTW-based kernel and rank-level fusion for 3D gait recognition using Kinect Multi-Dimensional Dynamic Time Warping for Gesture Recognition
- Time Series Similarity Measure via Siamese Convolutional Neural Network
- Multiple Multidimensional Sequence Alignment Using Generalized Dynamic Time Warping
- Base algorithm: classic DTW.
- Solution: It is proposed to perform the transition from one level of abstraction to another by using convolutional and recurrent neural networks. Then the object at the lower level of abstraction is the original signal. At the second level - a signal from the hidden layer of the model (built on the objects of the lower level), the dimension of which is much less, and the upper layer - a signal from the hidden layer of the model (built on the objects of the middle level).
In this case, DTW is calculated separately between the lower , between the middle and between the upper levels, but the formation of objects for calculating the distance is carried out taking into account the alignment path between the objects of the previous level.
This method is considered as a way to increase the interpretability of the alignment procedure and the accuracy of the action classification in connection with the transition to higher-level patterns. In addition, a significant increase in speed is expected. - Novelty: The idea of aligning time sequences simultaneously at several levels of abstraction is proposed. The method should significantly improve the interpretability of alignment algorithms and increase their speed.

Problem 52. 2021
- Title: Predicting the quality of protein models using spherical convolutions on 3D graphs.
- Problem: The purpose of this work is to create and study a new convolution operation on three-dimensional graphs in the framework of solving the problem of assessing the quality of three-dimensional protein models (The problem regression on graph nodes).
- Data: Models generated by CASP competitors are used (http://predictioncenter.org).
- References:
- Base algorithm: As a basic algorithm, we will use a neural network based on the graph convolution method, which is generally described in [19].
- Solution: The presence of a peptide chain in proteins makes it possible to uniquely introduce local coordinate systems for all graph nodes, which makes it possible to create and apply spherical filters regardless of the graph topology.
- Novelty: In the general case, graphs are irregular structures, and in many graph learning The problems, the sample objects do not have a single topology. Therefore, the existing operations of convolutions on graphs are greatly simplified or do not generalize to different topologies. In this paper, we propose to consider a new method for constructing a convolution operation on three-dimensional graphs, for which it is possible to uniquely choose local coordinate systems associated with each node.

Problem 44+. 2021
- Title: Early prediction of sufficient sample size for a generalized linear model.
- Deiscription: The problem of experiment planning is investigated. The problem of estimating a sufficient sample size according to the data is solved. The sample is assumed to be simple. It is described by an adequate model. Otherwise, the sample is generated by a fixed probabilistic model from a known class of models. The sample size is considered sufficient if the model is restored with sufficient confidence. It is required, knowing the model, to estimate a sufficient sample size at the early stages of data collection.
- Goal: On a small simple iid sample, predict the error on a replenished large one. The predictive model is smooth monotonic in two derivatives. The choice of model is a complete enumeration or genetics. The model depends on the reduced (explore) covariance matrix of the GLM parameters.
- Data: For the computational experiment, it is proposed to use classical samples from the UCI repository. Link to selections https://github.com/ttgadaev/SampleSizeEstimation/tree/master/datasets
- References:
Bishop, C. 2006. Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning. Berlin: Springer. 758 p.
- Basic algorithm: We will say that the sample size is sufficient if the log-likelihood has a small variance on a sample of size m calculated using the bootstrap.
We are trying to approximate the dependence of the average value of log-likelihood and its variance on the sample size.
- Solution: The methods described in the review are asymptotic or require a deliberately large sample size. The new method should be to predict volume in the early stages of experiment design, i.e. when data is scarce.

Problem 12.2021
- Title: Machine translation training without parallel texts.
- Problem: The problem of building a text translation model without the use of parallel texts is considered, i.e. pairs of identical sentences in different languages. This The problem occurs when building translation models for low-resource languages (that is, languages for which there is not much data in the public domain).
- Data: A selection of articles from Wikipedia in two languages.
- References:
- Basic algorithm: Unsupervised Machine Translation Using Monolingual Corpora Only.
- Solution: As a translation model, it is proposed to consider a combination of two auto-encoders, each of which is responsible for presenting sentences in one of the languages. The models are optimized in such a way that the latent spaces of autoencoders for different languages match. As an initial representation of sentences, it is proposed to consider their graph description obtained using multilingual ontologies.
- Novelty: A method for constructing a translation model is proposed, taking into account graph descriptions of sentences.

Problem 8.2021
- Title: Generation of features using locally approximating models (Classification of human activities according to measurements of fitness bracelets).
- Problem: It is required to check the feasibility of the hypothesis about the simplicity of sampling for the generated features. Features are the optimal parameters of approximating models. Moreover, the entire sample is not simple and requires a mixture of models to approximate it. Explore the information content of the generated features - the parameters of the approximating models trained on the segments of the original time series. According to the measurements of the accelerometer and gyroscope, it is required to determine the type of activity of the worker. It is assumed that the time series of measurements contain elementary movements that form clusters in the space of time series descriptions. The characteristic duration of the movement is seconds. Time series are labeled with activity type labels: work, leisure. The typical duration of activity is minutes. It is required to restore the type of activity according to the description of the time series and cluster.

Each local model approximates a connected region in feature space. It is assumed that the set of local models cover the entire space of objects. A convex combination of local models is considered as an aggregating function. As the coefficients of the convex combination, we consider a function depending on the object --- the gate function.
- Required: To construct an algorithm for optimizing the parameters of local models and parameters of the gate function. It is required to propose a metric in the space of objects, a metric in the space of models.

- Problem: Given a monochrome bitmap of the eye, see examples (https://cloud.mail.ru/public/eaou/4JSamfmrh).
It is necessary to determine the approximate coordinates of the center of the pupil. The word "approximate" means that the calculated pupil center must lie inside a circle centered at the pupil's true center and half the true radius. The algorithm must be very fast.

- Title: Search for the boundaries of the iris by the method of circular projections
- Problem: Given a monochrome bitmap of the eye, see examples (https://cloud.mail.ru/public/2DBu/5c6F6e3LC). The approximate position of the center of the pupil is also known. The word "approximate" means that the calculated center of the pupil is no more than half of its true radius from the true one. It is necessary to determine the approximate positions of the circles approximating the pupil and iris. The algorithm must be very fast.
- Data: About 200 thousand eye images. For each, the position of the true circle is marked - for the purpose of training and testing the method being created.
- Base algorithm: To speed up work with the image, it is proposed to aggregate data using circular projections of brightness. Circular projection is a function that depends on the radius, the value of which P(r) is equal to the integral of the directed image brightness gradient over a circle of radius r (or along an arc of a circle). Example for one arc (right quadrant) and for four arcs. Having built some circular projections, based on them, you can try to determine the position of the inner and outer borders of the iris (ring) using heuristics and / or a neural network. It is interesting to evaluate the capabilities of the neural network in this The problem.

- Title: Construction of local and universal interpretable scoring models
- Problem: Build a simple and interpretable scoring system as a superposition of local models, taking into account the requirements for the system to retain knowledge about key customers and features (in other words, take into account new economic phenomena). The model must be a superposition, and each element must be controlled by its own quality criterion. Introduce a schedule for optimizing the structure and parameters of the model: the system must work in a single optimization chain. Propose an algorithm for selecting features and objects.

- Solution: It is proposed to build a scoring system containing such a preprocessing block as a block for generating metric features. It is proposed to investigate the influence of the non-equivalence of objects on the selection of features for the model, to investigate the joint selection of features and objects when building a model. It is required to implement a schedule for optimizing the model structure using an algorithm based on the analysis of covariance matrices of model hyperparameters. The schedule includes a phased replenishment of the set of features and objects. The feature sample size will be determined by controlling the error variance. The main criterion for the quality of the system: ROC AUC (Gini).

- Title: Variational optimization of deep learning models with model complexity control
- Problem: The problem of optimizing a deep learning model with a predetermined model complexity is considered. It is required to propose a model optimization method that allows generating new models with a given complexity and low computational costs.

- [3] network factories https://papers.nips.cc/paper/6304-convolutional-neural-fabrics.pdf
- Base algorithm: Random search
- Solution: The proposed method is to represent a deep learning model as a hypernet (a network that generates the parameters of another network) using a Bayesian approach. Probabilistic assumptions about the parameters of deep learning models are introduced, and a variational lower estimate of the Bayesian validity of the model is maximized. The variation estimate is considered as a conditional value depending on the external parameter of complexity.
- Novelty: The proposed method allows generating models in one-shot mode (practically without retraining) with the required model complexity, which significantly reduces the cost of optimization and retraining.

- Title: Theoretical validity of the application of metric classification methods using dynamic alignment (DTW) to spatiotemporal objects.
- Problem description: It is necessary to study the existing theoretical justifications for applying dynamic alignment methods to various objects, and explore the use of such methods for space-time series.
When proving the applicability of alignment methods, it is proved that the function generated by the dynamic alignment algorithm is the core. Which, in turn, justifies the use of metric classification methods. - References:
- Solution: For different formulations of the DTW method (when the internal function of the distance between time series samples is different) - find and collect evidence that the function is the kernel in one place.
For a basic set of datasets with time series (on which the accuracy of distance functions is checked ) check the fulfillment of the conditions from the Mercer theorem (positive definiteness of the matrix). Do this for various modifications of the DTW distance function.

- Title: Deep learning for RNA secondary structure prediction
- Problem: RNA secondary structure is an important feature which defines RNA functional properties. Its importance can be illustrated by the fact, that it is evolutionary preserved and some types of functional RNAs always * have the same secondary structure, for example all tRNAs fold into cloverleaf. As secondary structure often defines functions, knowing RNAs secondary structure may help investigate functions of novel RNA molecules. RNA folding is not as easy as DNA folding, because RNA is single stranded molecule which forms complicated base-pairing interactions, while DNA mostly exists as fully base paired double helices. Current methods of RNA structure prediction rely on experimentally evaluated thermodynamic rules, but with thermodynamics alone only 80% of structures can be accurately predicted. We propose an AI-driven method for predicting RNA secondary structure inspired by neural machine translation model.

For this, the distance DTW between two time series is used. In the classical representation, DTW is built between one-dimensional time series. It is necessary to introduce various modifications of the algorithm for working with high-dimensional time series: trajectories, corticograms.

- Title: Deep Learning for reliable detection of tandem repeats in 3D protein structures more in PDF
- Problem: Deep learning algorithms pushed computer vision to a level of accuracy comparable or higher than a human vision. Similarly, we believe that it is possible to recognize the symmetry of a 3D object with a very high reliability, when the object is represented as a density map. The optimization problem includes i) multiclass classification of 3D data. The output is the order of symmetry. The number of classes is ~10-20 ii) multioutput regression of 3D data. The output is the symmetry axis (a 3-vector). The input data are typically 24x24x24 meshes. The total amount of these meshes is of order a million. Biological motivation : Symmetry is an important feature of protein tertiary and quaternary structures that has been associated with protein folding, function, evolution, and stability. Its emergence and ensuing prevalence has been attributed to gene duplications, fusion events, and subsequent evolutionary drift in sequence. Methods to detect these symmetries exist, either based on the structure or the sequence of the proteins, however, we believe that they can be vastly improved.
- Data: Synthetic data are obtained by ‘symmetrizing’ folds from top8000 library (http://kinemage.biochem.duke.edu/databases/top8000.php).
- References: Our previous 3D CNN: [27] Invariance of CNNs (and references therein): 01630265/document, [28]
- Basic algorithm: A prototype has already been created using the Tensorflow framework [4], which is capable of detecting the order of cyclic structures with about 93% accuracy. The main goal of this internship is to optimize the topology of the current neural network prototype and make it rotational and translational invariant with respect to input data. [4] [29]
- Solution: The network architecture needs to be modified according to the invariance properties (most importantly, rotational invariance). Please see the links below [30], [31] The code is written using the Tensorflow library, and the current model is trained on a single GPU (Nvidia Quadro 4000)of a desktop machine.
- Novelty: Applications of convolutional networks to 3D data are still very challenging due to large amount of data and specific requirements to the network architecture. More specifically, the models need to be rotationally and transnationally invariant, which makes classical 2D augmentation tricks loosely applicable here. Thus, new models need to be developed for 3D data.

- Title: Automatic setting of ARTM parameters for a wide class of The problems.
- Problem description: The bigARTM open library allows you to build topical models using a wide class of possible regularizers. However, this flexibility makes The problem of setting the coefficients very difficult. This tuning can be greatly simplified by using the relative regularization coefficients mechanism and automatic selection of N-grams. We need to test the hypothesis that there is a universal set of relative regularization coefficients that gives "reasonably good" results on a wide class of problems. Several datasets are given with some external quality criterion (for example, classification of documents into categories or ranking). We find the best parameters for a particular dataset, giving the "locally the best model". We find the bigARTM initialization algorithm that produces thematic models with quality comparable to the "locally best model" on its dataset. Comparability criterion in quality: on this dataset, the quality of the "universal model" is no more than 5% worse than that of the "locally best model".

- Title: Optimal Approximation of Non-linear Power Flow Problem
- Problem: Our goal is to approximate the solution of non-linear non-convex optimal power flow problem by solving a sequence of convex optimization problems (aka trust region approach). On this way we propose to compare various approaches for an approximate solution of this problem with adaptive approximation of the power flow non-linearities with a sequence of quadratic and/or piece-wise linear functions

- Title: Investigation of reference objects in the problem of metric classification of time series.
- Problem description: The DTW function is the distance between two time series that can be non-linearly warped relative to each other. It looks for the best alignment between two objects, so it can be used in a metric object classification problem. One of the methods for solving the problem of metric classification is measuring distances to reference objects and using the vector of these distances as an indicative description of the object. The DBA method is an algorithm for constructing centroids (reference objects) for time series based on the DTW distance. When plotting the distance between the time series and the centroid, different pairs of values (eg peak values) are more specific to one of the classes, and the impact of such coincidences on the distance value should be higher.
It is necessary to explore various ways of constructing reference objects, as well as determining their optimal number. The criterion is the quality of the metric classifier in The problem. In the DBA method, for each centroid, it is proposed to create a weight vector that demonstrates the "significance" of the measurements of the centroid, and use it in the modified weighted-DTW distance function.
- Data: The data describes 6 classes of time series from the mobile phone's accelerometer. https://sourceforge.net/p/mlalgorithms/code/HEAD/tree/Group274/Goncharov2015MetricClassification/data/

- Selection of a subset of training sample objects as reference
- Pre-processing of anomalous objects
- Clustering training sample objects to build centroids within the cluster
- Using the DBA method to build reference objects
- Using numerical optimization methods to find the optimal vector of weights with given constraints
- Solution: Extension of constraint types to weight vector type: binary vector, same vector for all centroids, binary same vector for all centroids. Such a solution will save energy costs during the operation of sensors of a mobile device.
Literature research and a combination of up-to-date methods.
- Novelty: There has not been a comprehensive study of various methods of constructing centroids and reference elements along with the choice of their optimal number.

- Name: Early prediction of sufficient sample size for a generalized linear model.
- Problem: The problem of designing an experiment is being investigated. The problem of estimating a sufficient sample size according to the data is solved. The sample is assumed to be simple. It is described by an adequate model. Otherwise, the sample is generated by a fixed probabilistic model from a known class of models. The sample size is considered sufficient if the model is restored with sufficient confidence. It is required, knowing the model, to estimate a sufficient sample size at the early stages of data collection.
- Data: For the computational experiment, it is proposed to use classical samples from the UCI repository. Link to samples https://github.com/ttgadaev/SampleSize/tree/master/datasets

- Basic algorithm: We will say that the sample size is sufficient if the log-likelihood has a small variance, on a sample of size m calculated using bootstrap.
We are trying to approximate the dependence of the average value of log-likelihood and its variance on the sample size.
- Solution: The methods described in the review are asymptotic or require a deliberately large sample size. The new method should be to predict volume in the early stages of experiment design, i.e. when data is scarce.

- Title: Formulation and solution of an optimization problem combining classification and regression to estimate the binding energy of a protein and small molecules. The problem description [35]
- Problem: From a bioinformatics point of view, The problem is to estimate the free energy of protein binding to a small molecule (ligand): the best ligand in its best position has the lowest free energy of interaction with the protein. (Following a large text, see the file at the link above.)
- Data:
- Data for binary classification. Approximately 12,000 protein-ligand complexes: for each of them there is 1 native position and 18 non-native ones. The main descriptors are histograms of distributions of distances between different atoms of the protein and ligand, the dimension of the vector of descriptors is ~ 20,000. In the case of continued research and publication in a specialized journal, the set of descriptors can be expanded. The data will be provided as binary files with a python script to read.
- Data for regression. For each of the presented complexes, the value of the quantity is known, which can be interpreted as the binding energy.
- References:
- Basic algorithm: [39] In the classification problem, we used an algorithm similar to linear SVM, whose relationship with the energy estimate is beyond the scope of the classification problem, described in the above article. Various loss functions can be used in a regression problem.
- Solution: It is necessary to connect the previously used optimization problem with the regression problem and solve it using standard methods. Cross-validation will be used to check the operation of the algorithm. There is a separate test set consisting of (1) 195 complexes of proteins and ligands, for which it is necessary to find the best ligand pose (the algorithm for obtaining ligand positions differs from that used in training), (2) complexes of proteins and ligands, for which native poses it is necessary to predict the energy binding, and (3) 65 proteins for which the most strongly binding ligand is to be found.
- Novelty: First of all, the interest is combining classification and regression problems. The correct assessment of the quality of protein and ligand binding is used in drug development to search for molecules that interact most strongly with the protein under study. Using the classification problem described above to predict the binding energy results in an insufficiently high correlation of predictions with experimental values, while using the regression problem alone leads to overfitting.

- Title: Creation of ranking models for information retrieval systems. Algorithm for Predicting the Structure of Locally Optimal Models
- Problem: It is required to predict a time series using some parametric superposition of algebraic functions. It is proposed not to cost the prognostic model, but to predict it, that is, to predict the structure of the approximating superposition. A class of considered superpositions is introduced, and on the set of such structural descriptions, a search is made for a locally optimal model for the problem under consideration. The problem consists in 1) searching for a suitable structural description of the model 2) describing the search algorithm for the structure that will correspond to the optimal model 3) describing the algorithm for inverse construction of the model according to its structural description. For an already existing example of the answer to questions 1-3, see the works of A. A. Varfolomeeva.
- Data:
- Collection of text documents TREC (!)
- A set of time series, which implies the restoration of functional dependencies. It is proposed to first use synthetic data or immediately apply the algorithm to forecasting time series 1) electricity consumption 2) physical activity with subsequent analysis of the resulting structures.

- Base algorithm: Described in [1]. Developed in the work of the 974 group team. It is proposed to use their code and experiment.
- Solution: It is proposed to try to repeat the experiment of A. A. Varfolomeeva for a different structural description in order to understand what is happening. The superposition of algebraic functions defines an ortree, on the vertices of which the labels of the corresponding algebraic functions or variables are given. Therefore, the structural description of such a superposition can be its DFS-code. This is a string consisting of vertex labels, written in the order in which the tree is traversed by depth-first search. Knowing the arities of the corresponding algebraic functions, we can restore any such DFS-code in O(n) and get back the superposition of functions. On the set of similar string descriptions, it is proposed to search for the string description that will correspond to the optimal model.

- Name: The problem of searching characters in images
- Problem description: This The problem in one of the formulation options can be reduced to two sequential operations: 1) searching for objects in the image and determining their class 2) searching the database for information about the symbolic meaning of the found objects. The main difficulty in solving the problem lies in the search for objects in the image. However, the following classification may also be difficult due to the fact that the image of the object may be incomplete, unusually stylized, and the like.

- Title: Automatic construction of a neural network of optimal complexity
- Problem: The problem of finding a stable (and not redundant in terms of parameters) neural network structure is considered. The neural network is considered as a computational graph, the edges of which are primitive functions, and the vertices are intermediate representations of the sample obtained under the action of these functions. It is required to choose a subgraph of the model, in which the final neural network will give an acceptable classification quality with a small number of parameters.

- Title: Finding paraphrases.
- Problem description: Paraphrases are different variations of the same and the same text, identical in meaning, but differing lexically and grammatically, for example: "Where did the car go" and "Which direction did the car go". The problem of detecting paraphrases is to select clusters in a set of texts, such that each cluster contains only paraphrases of the same and the same sentence. The easiest way to extract paraphrases is to cluster texts, where each text is represented by a "bag of words".
- Data: There are open datasets of questions for testing and training on kaggle.com, there are open datasets for testing from semeval conferences.
- Base algorithm: Use one of the document clustering algorithms to extract paraphrases, where each document is represented by a bag of words or tf-idf.
- Solution: Use neural network architectures to search for paraphrases, use phrases extracted with parsers as features, use multilevel clustering.
- Novelty: Lack of implementations for the Russian language that will use parsers for a similar The problem, all current solutions are quite "simple".

- Title: On conformational changes of proteins using collective motions in torsion angle space and L1 regularization.
- Problem description: Torsion angles are the most natural degrees of freedom for describing motions of polymers, such as proteins. This is because bond lengths and bond angles are heavily constrained by covalent forces. Thus, multiple attempts have been done to describe protein dynamics in the torsion angle space. For example, one of us has developed an elastic network model (ENM) [1] in torsion angle space called Torsional Network Model (TNM) [2]. Functional conformational changes in proteins can be described in the Cartesian space using just a subset of collective coordinates [3], or even a sparse representation of these [4]. The latter requires a solution of a LASSO optimization problem [5]. The goal of the current project is to study if a sparse subset of collective coordinates in the torsion subspace can describe functional conformational changes in proteins. This will require a solution of a ridge regression problem with a L1 regularization constraint. The starting point will be the LASSO formulation.
- Data: Experimental conformations will be extracted from the Protein Docking Benchmark v5 (https://zlab.umassmed.edu/benchmark/) and a few others. The TNM model can be downloaded from https://ub.cbm.uam.es/tnm/tnm_soft_main.php

- Name: Study of the dependence of the quality of recognition of ontological objects on the depth of hyponymy.

- Basic algorithm: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1709.09686.pdf or its simplified version can be used as an algorithm, studies are performed using the DeepPavlov library.
- Solution: It is necessary to collect a dataset of hyponymy (nesting of concepts) of objects using WordNet, to automatically mark up ontological objects of texts of various domains for several levels of generalization of concepts, to conduct a series of experiments to determine the quality of recognition of ontological objects for different levels of nesting.
- Novelty: Similar studies have not been carried out, there are no ready-made datasets with a hierarchical markup of objects. Recognition of ontological objects at various levels of hyponymy can be used to produce additional features when solving various NLP (Natural language processing) The problems, as well as determining whether objects are a hyponym-hypernym pair.

- Title: High order convex optimization methods
- Problem description: High-order methods are effectively (up to n ~ 10^3 sometimes even up to n ~ 10^4) used for convex problems of not very large dimensions. Until recently, it was generally accepted that these are second-order methods (using the second derivatives of the function being optimized). However, at the beginning of 2018 Yu.E. Nesterov [1] proposed an efficient third-order method in the theory, which works according to almost optimal estimates. In the manual [3] in exercise 1.3, an example of a "bad" convex function proposed by Yu.E. Nesterov, on which I would like to compare the Nesterov method of the second and third order [1], the method from [2] of the second and third order and the usual fast gradient methods (of the first order). It is worth comparing both by the number of iterations and by the total running time.

- Title: Fractal analysis and synthesis of optical images of sea waves
- Problem description: A variety of physical processes and phenomena are studied with the help of images obtained remotely. An important The problem is to obtain adequate information about the processes and phenomena of interest by measuring certain image characteristics. Lines of equal brightness (isolines) on the images of many natural objects are fractal, that is, they are sets of points that cannot be represented by lines of finite length and occupy an intermediate position between lines and two-dimensional flat figures. Such sets are characterized by the fractal dimension D, which generalizes the classical concept of the dimension of a set and can take fractional values. For a solitary point on the image D=0, for a smooth curve D=1, for a flat figure D=2. The fractal isoline has the dimension 1<D<2. The algorithm for calculating D is given, for example, in [1]. The fractal dimension of the sea surface isolines can serve to estimate the spatial spectra of sea waves according to remote sensing data [1]. The problem is as follows. It is necessary to conduct a numerical study of the relationship between the characteristics of the spatial spectra of sea waves and the fractal dimension of satellite images of the Earth in the solar glare region. For the study, the method of numerical synthesis of optical images of sea waves, described in [2], should be used. Numerical modeling should be done with different characteristics of sea waves, as well as with different positions of the Sun and spatial resolution of images.

- Name Entropy maximization for various types of image transformations
- Problem description: Pansharpening is an algorithm for upscaling multispectral images using a reference image. The problem of pansharpening is formulated as follows: having a panchromatic image of the required resolution and a multispectral image of reduced resolution, it is required to restore the multispectral image in the spatial resolution of the panchromatic one. From empirical observations based on a large number of high-resolution images, it is known that the spatial variability of the reflected radiation intensity for objects of the same nature is much greater than the variability of their spectrum. In other words, one can observe that the spectrum of reflected radiation is homogeneous within the boundaries of one object, while even within one object the intensity of reflected radiation varies. In practice, good results can be achieved using a simplified approach, in which it is assumed that if the intensity of neighboring regions differ significantly, then these regions probably belong to different objects with different reflected spectra. This is the basis for the developed probabilistic algorithm for increasing the resolution of multispectral images using a reference image [1]
- It is necessary to conduct a study on maximizing the entropy for various types of transformations on the image. Show that entropy can serve as an indicator of the loss of information contained in the image during transformations over it. Formulation of the inverse problem for image restoration: Condition 1: Correspondence of the intensity (at each point) of the restored image with the intensity of the panchromatic image. Condition 2: Correspondence of the low-frequency component of the reconstructed image with the original multispectral image. Condition 3: Homogeneity (similarity) of the spectrum within one object and the assumption of an abrupt change in the spectrum at the border of two homogeneous regions. Condition 4: Under the first three conditions, the local entropy of the reconstructed image must be maximized.

- Title: Automatic detection and recognition of objects in images
- Problem description: Automatic detection and recognition of objects in images and videos is one of the main The problems of computer vision. As a rule, these The problems are divided into several subThe problems: preprocessing, extraction of the characteristic properties of the object image and classification. The pre-processing stage usually includes some operations on the image such as filtering, brightness equalization, geometric corrective transformations to facilitate robust feature extraction.
The characteristic properties of an image of an object are understood as a set of features that approximately describe the object of interest. Features can be divided into two classes: local and integral. The advantage of local features is their versatility, invariance with respect to uneven changes in brightness and illumination, but they are not unique. Integral features that characterize the image of the object as a whole are not resistant to changes in the structure of the object and difficult lighting conditions. There is a combined approach - the use of local features as elements of an integral description, when the desired object is modeled by a set of areas, each of which is characterized by its own set of features - a local texture descriptor. The totality of such descriptors characterizes the object as a whole. Classification is understood as determining whether an object belongs to a particular class by analyzing the feature vector obtained at the previous stage, dividing the feature space into subdomains indicating the corresponding class. There are many approaches to classification: neural network, statistical (Bayesian, regression, Fisher, etc.), decision trees and forests, metric (nearest K-neighbors, Parzen windows, etc.) and nuclear (SVM, RBF, method of potential functions), compositional (AdaBoost). For The problem of detecting an object in an image, membership in two classes is evaluated - the class of images containing the object, and the class of images that do not contain the object (background images).

- Solution: One of the options for generalizing LBP can be to use instead of histograms of distribution of points by LBP code, histograms of distribution of modules of point gradients in a block by LBP code (HG-LBP). It is proposed to use the OpenCV library for the basis of experiments, in which the HOG and LBP algorithms are implemented. It is necessary to modify the source code of the LBP implementation and insert the calculation of the modules of the gradient and the accumulation of the corresponding histogram over the LBP. It is necessary to write a program for reading the INRIA base, learning the linear SVM method on the original and modified descriptors, collecting detection statistics and plotting FAR/FRR DET plots.
- Novelty: The development of computationally simple methods for extracting the most informative features in recognition The problems is relevant in the field of creating embedded systems with low computing resources. Replacing the composition of descriptors with one that is more informative than each individually can simplify the solution of the problem. The use of gradient values in LPB descriptor histograms is new.

- Solution: One of the options for generalizing the HOG algorithm can be to use another classifier instead of the linear SVM algorithm, for example, some kind of neural network. It is proposed to use the OpenCV library for the basis of experiments, which implements the HOG algorithm and the SVM classifier. It is necessary to analyze the source code of the HOG implementation, formalize the internal structure of the descriptor HOG vector in the form of a three-dimensional tensor — two spatial and one spectral dimensions. It is necessary to write a program for reading the INRIA base, learning the linear SVM method on HOG descriptors from it, collecting detection statistics and plotting FAR/FRR DET plots. Based on some neural network training system (for example, mxnet), it is necessary to assemble a shallow (no more than 2-3 convolutional layers) convolutional neural network of known architecture, train it on the basis of INRIA and on HOG tensor descriptors, build the corresponding FAR / FRR graphs.
- Novelty: The development of computationally simple methods for extracting the most informative features in recognition The problems is relevant in the field of creating embedded systems with low computing resources. Using a small number of the most informative descriptors can reduce computational complexity compared to using a large composition of simple features, such as in a deep convolutional neural network. Typically, classifiers use the HOG descriptor as a vector as a whole, however, information about the local spatial structure and feature spectrum is lost. The novelty lies in the use of the block locality property in the HOG descriptor and the representation of the HOG as a 3D tensor. The use of this information makes it possible to achieve detection resistance to pedestrian overlap.

Similarly, we believe that it is possible to recognize the symmetry of a 3D object with a very high reliability, when the object is represented as a density map. The optimization problem includes i) multiclass classification of 3D data. The output is the order of symmetry. The number of classes is ~10-20 ii) multioutput regression of 3D data. The output is the symmetry axis (a 3-vector). The input data are typically 24x24x24 meshes. The total amount of these meshes is of order a million. Biological motivation : Symmetry is an important feature of protein tertiary and quaternary structures that has been associated with protein folding, function, evolution, and stability. Its emergence and ensuing prevalence has been attributed to gene duplications, fusion events, and subsequent evolutionary drift in sequence. Methods to detect these symmetries exist, either based on the structure or the sequence of the proteins, however, we believe that they can be vastly improved.
- Data: Synthetic data are obtained by ‘symmetrizing’ folds from top8000 library (http://kinemage.biochem.duke.edu/databases/top8000.php).
- References: Our previous 3D CNN: [63] Invariance of CNNs (and references therein): 01630265/document, [64]
- Base algorithm: A prototype has already been created using the Tensorflow framework [4], which is capable of detecting the order of cyclic structures with about 93% accuracy. The main goal of this internship is to optimize the topology of the current neural network prototype and make it rotational and translational invariant with respect to input data. [4] [65]
- Solution: The network architecture needs to be modified according to the invariance properties (most importantly, rotational invariance). Please see the links below [66],
[67] The code is written using the Tensorflow library, and the current model is trained on a single GPU (Nvidia Quadro 4000)of a desktop machine.
- Novelty: Applications of convolutional networks to 3D data are still very challenging due to large amount of data and specific requirements to the network architecture. More specifically, the models need to be rotationally and transnationally invariant, which makes classical 2D augmentation tricks loosely applicable here. Thus, new models need to be developed for 3D data.

- Title: Semi-supervised representation learning with attention
- Problem: training of vector representations using the attention mechanism, thanks to which the quality of machine translation has increased significantly. It is proposed to use it in the encoder-decoder architecture network to obtain vectors of text fragments of arbitrary length.
- Data: It is proposed to consider two samples: Microsoft Paraphrase Corpus (a small set of proposals, https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52398) and PPDB (a set of short segments, not always correct markup. http://sitem.herts.ac.uk/aeru/ppdb/en/)

As an internal quality functional, it is proposed to use the improved error function from [2]. As an applied problem, we can consider the problem of detecting paraphrases and sentiment analysis. Moreover, based on the results obtained in [1], it can be assumed that the attention mechanism has a greater influence on obtaining universal vectors for phrases than the network architecture. It is proposed to test this hypothesis using two different architectures - a standard recurrent and feed-forward network.

- Title: Selection of Interpreted Multi-Models in Credit Scoring The problems
- Problem: The problem of credit scoring is to determine the level of creditworthiness of the borrower. For this, a borrower's questionnaire is used, containing both numerical (age, income) and categorical features (gender, profession). It is required, having historical information about the repayment of loans by other borrowers, to determine whether the borrower will return the loan. The data can be heterogeneous (example, if there are different income regions in a country), and several models will be needed to adequately classify. It is necessary to determine the optimal number of models. Based on the set of model parameters, it is necessary to draw up a portrait of the borrower.
- Data: It is proposed to consider five samples from the UCI and Kaggle repositories, with a capacity of 50,000 objects or more.

- Title: Generation of features that are invariant to changes in the frequency of the time series.
- Problem: Informally: there is a set of time series of a certain frequency (s1), and the information we are interested in is distinguishable and at a lower sampling rate (in the example, the samples occur every millisecond, and the events of interest to us occur at an interval of 0.1 s). These series are integrated reducing the frequency by a factor of 10 (i.e. every 10 values are simply summed) and a set of time series s2 is obtained. be described in the same way. Formally: Given a set of time series s1, .., sNS with a high sampling rate 1. Target information (example, hand movement/daily price fluctuation/…) is distinguishable and at a lower sampling rate 2 < 1. It is necessary to find such a mapping f: S G, - the frequency of the series, that it will generate similar feature descriptions for series of different frequencies. Those.
f* = argminf E(f1(s1) -f2(s2)) , where E is some error function.
- Data: Sets of time series of people's physical activity from accelerometers; human EEG time series; time series of energy consumption of cities/industrial facilities. Sample link: UCI repository, our EEG and accelerometer samples.
- References: See above for Accelerometers
- Base algorithm: Fourier transform.
- Solution: Building an autoencoder with a partially fixed internal representation as the same time series with a lower frequency.
- Novelty: For time series, there is no “common approach” to analysis, in contrast, in the example, to image analysis. If you look at the problem abstractly, now the cat is defined as well as and the cat, which takes up half the space in the image. An analogy with time series suggests itself. Moreover, the nature of data in pictures and in time series is similar: in pictures there is a hierarchy between values along two axes (x and y), and in time series - one at a time - along the time axis. The hypothesis is that methods similar to image analysis will provide qualitative results. The resulting feature representation can be further used for classification and prediction of time series.

- Title: Classification of superpositions of movements of physical activity
- Problem: Human behavior analysis by mobile phone sensor measurements: detect human movements from accelerometer data. The accelerometer data is a signal without precise periodicity, which contains an unknown superposition of physical models. We will consider the superposition of models: body + arm/bag/backpack.
Classification of human activities according to measurements of fitness bracelets. According to the measurements of the accelerometer and gyroscope, it is required to determine the type of activity of the worker. It is assumed that the time series of measurements contain elementary movements that form clusters in the space of time series descriptions. (Development: The characteristic duration of movement is seconds. Time series are marked with activity type marks: work, rest. The characteristic duration of activity is minutes. It is required to restore the type of activity by the description of the time series and cluster.)

- Title: Creation of ranking models for information retrieval systems. Algorithm for Predicting the Structure of Locally Optimal Models
- Problem: It is required to predict a time series using some parametric superposition of algebraic functions. It is proposed not to cost the prognostic model, but to predict it, that is, to predict the structure of the approximating superposition. A class of considered superpositions is introduced, and on the set of such structural descriptions, a search is made for a locally optimal model for the problem under consideration. The problem consists in 1) searching for a suitable structural description of the model 2) describing the search algorithm for the structure that will correspond to the optimal model 3) describing the algorithm for inverse construction of the model according to its structural description. For an already existing example of the answer to questions 1-3, see the works of A. A. Varfolomeeva.
- Data:
- Collection of text documents TREC (!)
- A set of time series, which implies the restoration of functional dependencies. It is proposed to first use synthetic data or immediately apply the algorithm to forecasting time series 1) electricity consumption 2) physical activity with subsequent analysis of the resulting structures.

- Base algorithm: Specifically, there is no basic algorithm for the proposed problem. It is proposed to try to repeat the experiment of A.A. Varfolomeeva for a different structural description in order to understand what is happening.
- Solution: The superposition of algebraic functions defines an ortree, on the vertices of which the labels of the corresponding algebraic functions or variables are given. Therefore, the structural description of such a superposition can be its DFS-code. This is a string consisting of vertex labels, written in the order in which the tree is traversed by depth-first search. Knowing the arities of the corresponding algebraic functions, we can restore any such DFS-code in O(n) and get back the superposition of functions. On the set of similar string descriptions, it is proposed to search for the string description that will correspond to the optimal model.

- Title: Definition of neural network parameters to be optimized.
- Problem: The problem of neural network optimization is considered. It is required to divide the model parameters into two groups:
- a) Model parameters to be optimized
- b) Model parameters whose optimization has been completed. Further optimization of these parameters will not improve the quality of the model.
It is proposed to consider the optimization of parameters as a stochastic process. Based on the history of the process, we find those parameters whose optimization is no longer required.
- Data: A selection of handwritten MNIST digits
- Basic algorithm: Random choice of parameters.

- Novelty: The resulting algorithm will significantly reduce the computational cost of optimizing neural networks. A possible further development of the method is to obtain estimates for the parameters of the network obtained from the original operations of expansion, compression, adding and removing layers.

- Title: Obtaining likelihood estimates using autoencoders
- Problem: it is assumed that the objects under consideration obey the manifold hypothesis (manifold learning) - high-dimensional vectors are concentrated around some subspace of lower dimension. Works [1, 2] show that some modifications of autoencoders are looking for a k-dimensional manifold in the object space, which most fully conveys the data structure. In [2], an estimate of the probability density of data is derived using an autoencoder. It is required to obtain this estimate for the plausibility of the model.

- Title: Predict properties and types of atoms in molecular graphs using convolutional networks.
- Problem: Multilabel classification using convolutional neural networks (CNN) on graphs.
To predict the interaction of molecules with each other, it is often necessary to correctly describe their constituent atoms by assigning certain types to them. For small molecules, not many descriptors are available: the coordinates and chemical elements of atoms, the lengths of bonds and the magnitude of the angles between them. Using these features, we successfully predict atomic hybridizations and bond types. In this approach, each atom is considered "individually", the information about neighboring atoms necessary to determine the type of an atom is practically not used, and the types of atoms are determined by checking a large number of conditions. At the same time, molecules are represented as 3D molecular graphs, and it would be interesting to use this to predict their types with machine learning methods, for example, using CNNs. It is necessary to predict the types of vertices and edges of molecular graphs:
- atom type (graph vertex type, about 150 classes),
- atom hybridization (auxiliary feature, vertex type, 4 classes),
- connection type (auxiliary feature, edge type, 5 classes).
The type of an atom (graph vertex) is based on information about its hybridization and the properties of neighboring atoms. Therefore, in the case of a successful solution of the classification problem, clustering can be carried out to find other ways to determine the types of atoms.
- Data: About 15 thousand molecules represented as molecular graphs. For each vertex (atom), 3D coordinates and a chemical element are known. Additionally, bond lengths, angles and dihedral angles between atoms (3D graph coordinates), binary signs reflecting whether an atom is included in the cycle and whether it is terminal are calculated. The sample is labeled, but the labeled data may contain ~5% errors.
If there is not enough data, it is possible to increase the sample (up to 200 thousand molecules), associated with an increase in inaccuracies in labeling.
- References:
- Base algorithm: Prediction of hybridizations and link orders using a multiclass non-linear SVM with a small number of descriptors. https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01381010/document
- Solution: Proposed solution to the problem and ways of conducting research.
Methods for presenting and visualizing data and conducting error analysis, analyzing the quality of the algorithm. At the first stage, it will be necessary to determine the operations on the graphs necessary to build the network architecture. Next, you will need to train the network for multi-class classification of the types of vertices (and edges) of the input graph. To assess the quality of the algorithm, it is supposed to evaluate the accuracy using cross-validation. For the final publication (in a specialized journal), it will be necessary to make a specific test for the quality of predictions: based on the predicted bond types, the molecule is written as a string (in SMILES format) and compared with a sample. In this case, for each molecule, the prediction will be considered correct only if the types of all bonds in it were predicted without errors.
- Novelty: The proposed molecular graphs have a 3D structure and internal hierarchy, making them an ideal CNN application.

- Title: Formulation and solution of an optimization problem combining classification and regression to estimate the binding energy of a protein and small molecules. The problem description [78]
- Problem:
From the point of view of bioinformatics, The problem is to estimate the free energy of protein binding to a small molecule (ligand): the best ligand in its best position has the \textbf{lowest free energy} of interaction with the protein. (Following a large text, see the file at the link above.)
- Data:
- Data for binary classification.
Approximately 12,000 protein-ligand complexes: for each of them there is 1 native position and 18 non-native ones. The main descriptors are histograms of distributions of distances between different atoms of the protein and ligand, the dimension of the vector of descriptors is ~ 20,000. In the case of continued research and publication in a specialized journal, the set of descriptors can be expanded. The data will be provided as binary files with a python script to read.
- Data for regression.
For each of the presented complexes, the value of the quantity is known, which can be interpreted as the binding energy.
In the classification problem, we used an algorithm similar to linear SVM, whose relationship with the energy estimate, which is outside the scope of the classification problem, is described in the above article. Various loss functions can be used in a regression problem.
- Solution: It is necessary to connect the previously used optimization problem with the regression problem and solve it using standard methods. Cross-validation will be used to check the operation of the algorithm.
There is a separate test set consisting of (1) 195 complexes of proteins and ligands, for which it is necessary to find the best ligand pose (the algorithm for obtaining ligand positions differs from that used in training), (2) complexes of proteins and ligands, for which native poses it is necessary to predict the energy binding, and (3) 65 proteins for which the most strongly binding ligand is to be found.
- Novelty:' First of all, the interest is combining classification and regression problems.
The correct assessment of the quality of protein and ligand binding is used in drug development to search for molecules that interact most strongly with the protein under study. Using the classification problem described above to predict the binding energy results in an insufficiently high correlation of predictions with experimental values, while using the regression problem alone leads to overfitting.

- Title: Construction of an approximating description of a scalogram in the problem of predicting movements using an electrocorticogram.
- Problem: As part of solving the problem of decoding ECoG signals, The problem of classifying movements by time series of electrode readings is solved. The tools for extracting features from ECoG time series are the coefficients of the wavelet transform of the signal under study [Makarchuk 2016], on the basis of which a scalogram is built for each electrode - a two-dimensional array of features in frequency-time space. Combining scalograms for each electrode gives signs of a time series in the spatio-frequency-time domain. The feature description constructed in this way obviously contains multicorrelated features and is redundant. It is required to propose a method for reducing the dimension of the feature space.

- Title: Multiple Manifold Learning (Joint diagonalization for 3D shapes - AJD on Hessian matrices).
- Problem: Building an optimal algorithm for the Multiple Manifold Learning The problem. Two protein conformations (two tertiary structures) are given. In the vicinity of each state, a model of an elastic body is specified (oscillations of the structure in the vicinity of these states). The problem is to build a general model of an elastic body to find intermediate states with the maximum match with these models in the vicinity of given conformations. The space of motion of an elastic body is given by the Hessian eigenvectors. It is required to find a common low-rank approximation of the space of motions of two elastic bodies.

- Title: Convex relaxations for multiple structure alignment (synchronization problem for SO(3)).
- Problem: Find transformations to align protein tertiary structures simultaneously (in simple words: find orthogonal transformations that align data in R^3 molecules that have the same chemical formula). If the structures are the same (the RMSD is equal to zero after alignment, the structures are aligned exactly), then you can align in pairs. However, if this is not the case, then the Basic algorithm, generally speaking, does not find the optimum of the original problem with a loss function for simultaneous equalization.
- Data: Protein structures in PDB format in various states and coordinate systems.

- Title: Adaptive relaxations of NP hard problems through machine learning
- Problem: Modern problems of optimizing power flows in power networks lead to non-convex optimization The problems with a large number of restrictions. Statements similar in structure also arise in a number of other engineering problems and in classical The problems of combinatorial optimization. The traditional approach to solving such NP hard problems is to write their convex relaxations (semidefinite/SDP, second order conic/SOCP, etc), which usually have a much larger set of feasible solutions than in the original problem. and by the subsequent projection of the obtained solution into the region where the constraints of the original problem are satisfied. In many practical cases, the quality of the solution obtained in this way is not high. Alternative approaches, for example MILP (mixed integer linear programming) relaxation, are substantially more time consuming but result in a more accurate answer.
The main problem is the impossibility of using known methods for solving large-scale problems (networks of 1000 nodes and more). One of the key obstacles is not so much the dimension of the problem as a large number of restrictions. At the same time, in real The problems it is possible to single out a small set of restrictions such that the sets of admissible points in the selected set and in the original one are very close. This will allow us to replace The problem with another one with fewer restrictions, which will increase the speed of the algorithms used. It is proposed to use machine learning methods to build the indicated set of the most important constraints.

- Title: Optimal Algorithm for Reconstruction of Dynamic Models.
- Problem: A standard machine learning problem statement in the context of unsupervised learning assumes that the examples are independent and come from the same probability distribution. However, often observed data are of dynamic origin and are correlated. The problem is to develop an efficient method for restoring a dynamic graphical model (graph and model parameters) from observed correlated dynamic configurations. This The problem is theoretically important and has many applications. The basis of the algorithm will be the adaptation of a new optimal method of screening interactions (interaction screening), developed for the Ising model. The solution process will combine familiarity with computer science/machine learning theoretical methods and numerical experiments.

- Problem: Test the hypothesis that a large sample of transactions between firms is adequately described by a relatively small set of economic activities (aka topics). The problem is reduced to decomposing the matrix of transactional data "buyers × sellers" into the product of three non-negative matrices "buyers × topics", "topics × topics", "topics × sellers", while the middle matrix describes a directed graph of financial flows in the industry. It is required to compare several methods for constructing such expansions and find the number of topics for which the observed set of transactions is modeled with sufficient accuracy.
- Data: selection of transactions between firms, such as "buyer, seller, volume".

- Title: Generating and selecting features when building a credit scoring model.
- Problem: Credit scoring models are built step by step. In particular, a number of independent transformations of individual features are performed, and new features are generated. Each step uses its own quality criterion. It is required to build a scoring model that adequately describes the sample. Maximizing the quality of the model at each step does not guarantee the maximum quality of the resulting model. It is proposed to abandon the step-by-step construction of the scoring model. To do this, the quality criterion must include all the optimized parameters of the model.
- Data: The computational experiment will be performed on 5-7 samples to be found. It is desirable that the samples be of the same nature, for example, the samples of consumer credit questionnaires.

- Title: Optimal algorithm for recovering block Hamiltonians (XY and Heisenberg models).
- Problem: The problem is to reconstruct block Hamiltonians with continuous spins (a generalization of the Ising model to two- and three-dimensional spins) from the observed data. This setting is a special case of a field of machine learning known as unsupervised learning. Reconstruction of a graphical spin model from observational data is an important problem in physics. The basis of the algorithm will be the adaptation of a new optimal method of screening interactions (interaction screening), developed for the Ising model. The solution process will combine familiarity with computer science/machine learning theoretical methods and numerical experiments.
- Data: Simulated block spin model configurations.

- Title: Estimated binding energy of protein and small molecules.
- Problem: Modeling the binding of a protein and a small molecule (hereinafter referred to as a ligand) is based on the fact that the best ligand in its best position has the lowest free energy of interaction with the protein. It is necessary to estimate the free energy of protein and ligand binding. Complexes of proteins with ligands can be used for training, and for each protein there are several positions of the ligand: 1 correct, "native", for which the energy is minimal, and several generated incorrect ones. For a third of the data set, values are known that are proportional to the desired binding energy of ligands in native positions with the protein. There is a separate test set consisting of 1) complexes of proteins and ligands, for which it is necessary to find the best ligand position (the algorithm for obtaining ligand positions differs from that used in training), 2) complexes of proteins and ligands, for whose native positions it is necessary to predict the binding energy, and 3) proteins for which it is necessary to find the most strongly binding ligand.
- Data: About 10000 complexes: for each of them there is 1 native pose and 18 (more can be generated) non-native ones. The main descriptors are histograms of distributions of distances between different atoms of the protein and ligand, the dimension of the vector of descriptors is ~ 20,000. The set of descriptors can be extended (you can generate poses with different deviations and use it as a descriptor, you can add the properties of small molecules: the number of bonds around which rotation is possible in a molecule, its surface area, its surface division by a Voronoi diagram. The data will be provided in the form of binary files with a python script to read.
- References: PEPSI-Dock: a detailed data-driven protein–protein interaction potential accelerated by polar Fourier correlation Predicting Binding Poses and Affinities in the CSAR 2013―2014 Docking Exercises Using the Knowledge-Based Convex-PL Potential
- Base algorithm: We used a linear SVM (these are just lecture notes, I see no reason to give Vapnik here, especially since all this, including these lecture notes, is googled), the connection of which with an energy estimate that goes beyond scope of the classification The problem is described in the articles listed above. To take into account experimentally known values proportional to energy, it is proposed to use linear regression SVR .
- Solution: It is necessary to reduce the previously used SVM problem to a regression problem and solve it using standard methods. To check the operation of the algorithm, both the test described above and several other test sets with similar The problems but different data will be used.
- Novelty: Proper assessment of the quality of protein and ligand binding is used in drug development to find molecules that interact most strongly with the protein under study.
Of particular importance is the assessment of the values of the binding energy of the protein with the ligand: the coefficient of correlation (Pearson) of the energy with its experimental values determined by different groups on the proposed test does not exceed 0.7. Prediction of the most strongly binding ligand from a large number of non-protein-binding molecules is also difficult. The aim of this work is to obtain a method that allows a fairly accurate assessment of protein binding to ligands. From the point of view of machine learning and optimization, it is of interest to combine classification and regression problems.
- Appendix Given several data sets describing an atom in a molecule or a bond between atoms, with a small feature vector (usually 3-10 descriptors) and several classes corresponding to the atom's hybridization or bond order. The data itself can be from ~100 to 20,000 vectors depending on the type of atom. You need to test some kind of multiclass machine learning on this (random forests, neural network, something else), you can do anything with descriptors. We are currently using SVM. Not only the accuracy is important, but also the computational complexity of the prediction.

- Title: Creation of delay-operators for multiscale forecasting by means of symbolic regression
- Problem: Suppose that one needs to build a forecasting machine for a response variable. Given a large set of time series, one can advance a hypothesis that they are related to this variable. Relying upon this hypothesis, we can use given time series as features for the forecasting machine. However, the values of time series could be produced with different frequencies. Therefore, we should take into account not only the values, but the delays as well. The simplest model for forecast is a linear one. In the presence of large set of features this model can approximate the response quite well. To avoid the problem of multiscaling, we introduce a definition of delay-operators. Each delay-operator corresponds to one time series and represents continuous correlation function. This correlation function shows a dependence between the response variable and corresponding time series. Therefore, each delay-operator put weights on the values of corresponding time series depending on the greatness of the delay. Having these delay-operators, we avoid the problem of multiscaling. To find them, we use genetic programming and symbolic regression. If the resulted weighted linear regression model would produce poor approximation, we can use a nonlinear one instead. To find good nonlinear function, we would use symbolic regression as well.
- Data: Any data from the domain of multiscalse forecating of time series. See the full version of this introduction.

- Data: Synergy of classification algorithms. Data from the UCI repository so that it can be compared directly with other works, in particular the work of Vapnik.
- References: There are different approaches to combining SVMs: on example, bagging (http://www.ecse.rpiscrews.us/~cvrl/FaceProject/Homepage/Publication/ICPR04_final_cameraready_v4.pdf), also try and boosting (http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Hong-Mo_Je/publication/3974309_Pattern_classification_using_support_vector_machine_ensemble/links/09e415091bdc559051000000.pdf).
- Base algorithm: Described in the problem statement
- Solution: a modification of the basic algorithm, or simply the Basic algorithm itself. The main thing is to compare with other methods and draw conclusions, in particular, about the relationship between the presence of an improvement in the quality and diversity of sets of reference objects built by different SVMs.
- Novelty: It is known (for example, from Konstantin Vyacheslavovich's lectures) that it is not possible to build short compositions from strong classifiers (for example, SVM) using boosting (although they still try (see literature)). Therefore, it is proposed to build a nonlinear combination instead of a linear one. It is assumed that such a composition can give an increase in quality compared to a single SVM.

- Title: Coordination of logical and linear classification models in the information analysis of electrocardiosignals.
- Problem: There are logical classifiers based on the identification of diagnostic standards for each disease and built by the Expert in semi-manual mode. For these classifiers, estimates of disease activities are determined, which have been used in the diagnostic system for many years and satisfy physician users. We build linear classifiers that are trained completely automatically and are ahead of logical classifiers in terms of classification quality. However, a direct transfer of the activity estimation technique to linear classifiers turned out to be impossible. It is required to build a linear activity model, setting it to reproduce the known activity estimates of the logical classifier.

- Title: Thematic classification model for diagnosing diseases by electrocardiogram.
- Problem: Technology of information analysis of electrocardiosignals according to V.M.Uspensky is based on ECG conversion into a character string and selection of informative sets of words - diagnostic standards for each disease. The linear classifier builds one diagnostic standard for each disease. The Screenfax screening diagnostic system now uses four standards for each disease, built in a semi-manual mode. It is required to fully automate the process of constructing diagnostic standards and to determine their optimal number for each disease. To do this, it is supposed to finalize the thematic classification model of S. Tsyganova, to perform a new implementation under BigARTM, to expand computational experiments, to improve the quality of classification.

- Title: Thematic models of distributive semantics for highlighting ethno-relevant topics in social networks.
- Problem: Thematic modeling of social media text collections faces the problem of ultra-short documents. It is not always clear where to draw the boundaries between documents (possible options: a single post, a user's wall, all posts by a given user, all posts for a given day in a given region, and so on). Topic models give interpretable vector representations of words and documents, but their quality depends on the distribution of document lengths. The word2vec model is independent of document lengths, since it takes into account only the local contexts of words, but the coordinates of vector representations do not allow thematic interpretation. The objective of the project is to build a hybrid model that combines the advantages and is free from the disadvantages of both models.
- Data: Collections of social networks LJ and VK.
- References: will issue :)
- Base algorithm: Topic models previously built on this data.
- Solution: Implementation of a distributive semantics regularizer similar to the vord2vec language model in the BigARTM library.

- Title: Building scoring models in the SAS system (or MATLAB).
- Problem: Describe the main steps in building scoring models. At the stage of data preparation, The problem of filtering choices (removing noise objects) is solved. Since the sample contains a significant number of features that do not correlate with solvency, it is necessary to solve the problem of feature selection. In addition, due to the heterogeneity of the data (by example, by region), it is proposed to build a mixture of models, in which each model describes its own subset of the sample. At the same time, different sets of features can correspond to different components of the mixture.

- Title: Approximation of combinatorial overfitting estimates for feature selection in the problem of medical diagnostics.
- Problem: Technology of information analysis of electrocardiosignals according to V. M. Uspensky is used to diagnose diseases of internal organs by electrocardiogram. The linear naive bayesian classifier with feature selection performs well in this The problem. However, only very simple greedy strategies have been used so far for feature selection. It is proposed to use more intensive enumeration strategies to find better and shorter diagnostic feature sets. However, the more intense the search, the higher the probability of overfitting. To reduce overfitting, it is proposed to use combinatorial estimates of overfitting of threshold decision rules. For efficient calculation of these estimates, it is proposed to use surrogate modeling.
- Data: Samples of vectors of ECG feature descriptions obtained using the Screenfax screening diagnostics system. Will be issued.

- Title: Algorithm for predicting the structure of locally optimal models
- Problem: It is required to predict a time series using some parametric superposition of algebraic functions. It is proposed not to cost the prognostic model, but to predict it, that is, to predict the structure of the approximating superposition. A class of considered superpositions is introduced, and on the set of such structural descriptions, a search is made for a locally optimal model for the problem under consideration. The problem consists in 1) searching for a suitable structural description of the model 2) describing the search algorithm for the structure that will correspond to the optimal model 3) describing the algorithm for inverse construction of the model according to its structural description. For an already existing example of the answer to questions 1-3, see the work of A. A. Varfolomeeva.
- Data: A set of time series, which implies the restoration of functional dependencies. It is proposed to first use synthetic data or immediately apply the algorithm to forecasting time series 1) electricity consumption 2) physical activity with subsequent analysis of the resulting structures.
- References:
- Base algorithm: Specifically, there is no basic algorithm for the proposed problem. It is proposed to try to repeat the experiment of A. A. Varfolomeeva for a different structural description in order to understand what is happening.
- Solution: The superposition of algebraic functions defines an ortree, on the vertices of which the labels of the corresponding algebraic functions or variables are given. Therefore, the structural description of such a superposition can be its DFS-code. This is a string consisting of vertex labels, written in the order in which the tree is traversed by depth-first search. Knowing the arities of the corresponding algebraic functions, we can restore any such DFS-code in O(n) and get back the superposition of functions. On the set of similar string descriptions, it is proposed to search for the string description that will correspond to the optimal model.

- Title: Stability of sampling of electrocardiosignals relative to frequency filtering.
- Problem: Technology of information analysis of electrocardiosignals according to V.M.Uspensky is based on the transformation of the electrocardiogram into a character string (codogram) and the selection of informative sets of words - diagnostic standards for each disease.

- Title: Improving the quality of demand forecasting using product groups
- Problem description:
Given:
- Time series of sales for several product groups in one hypermarket. Also, for each product, periods of shortage, periods of influence on the demand of calendar holidays and periods of holding are known. marketing promotions. A product classifier is also known: a tree of product groups, where the products themselves are leaves.
- Forecasting algorithm that is used to generate demand forecasts for these products: self-adaptive exponential smoothing (Trigg-Leach model, see [1])
- Loss function by which the quality of forecasts is measured: MAPE.
- Requirements for building forecasts: forecasts must be built weekly for 4 weeks ahead (at the beginning of the current week, you need to build a forecast of total demand for the next week, a week in one, two, and 3).
Hypothesis: Demand for individual goods is too volatile to reveal their characteristic seasonality. It is proposed to use data on product groups in order to more accurately determine the parameters of seasonality. Note: there are other options for improving the quality of forecasting by working with groups of goods. The problem is to improve the quality of forecasting within the framework of The problem by taking into account the effect of the interchangeability of goods, in comparison with the Basic algorithm The result can be considered achieved if a statistically significant increase in quality is shown when building a series of forecasts (at least 20) for each time series using a sliding control.

- Base algorithm: It is proposed to use the seasonality model [3] in combination with the Trigg-Leach model as a non-seasonal series prediction algorithm ([1] and [2]). In this case, 3 variants of the algorithm are possible, depending on the method of assessing seasonality:
- Seasonality is estimated by the very series of sales. For products with a "short" history, seasonality is not assessed.
- Seasonality is estimated for a group of goods, based on the classifier of commodity groups (lower level of the classifier)
- Seasonality is estimated by clusters, based on the methodology [3], [4].
- Solution: It is required to implement the combination of the seasonality model [3] and the Trigg-Leach model as a non-seasonal series prediction algorithm ([1] and [2]), with the 3 variants of seasonality analysis described above. When constructing seasonal profiles, it is necessary to exclude periods of marketing campaigns (otherwise, there may be a significant distortion of seasonality). Next, you need a series of experiments with quality analysis on real data. When analyzing quality, you can exclude periods of holidays and marketing campaigns. Based on the results of the experiments, it may be necessary to adapt the clustering algorithm.
- Novelty: Building a self-adaptive forecasting algorithm taking into account seasonality, identified by cluster analysis.

- Title: Checking the compliance of the electrocardiograph with the requirements of the diagnostic system "Screenfax" and assessing the quality of electrocardiograms.
- Problem description: The problem of checking the compliance of an arbitrary electrocardiograph with the requirements of the "Screenfax" diagnostic system [1—4] is solved based on a comparison of electrocardiograms (ECG) of the same and the same patients recorded by both devices according to the ABAB scheme, where A is the first device, B - the second. The problem of automatic detection of low-quality electrocardiograms that do not meet the requirements of the diagnostic system is also solved.

- Base algorithm: ECG quality estimation – [4], R-peak detection – [5], noise level estimation in data – [6].
- Solution: The problem of checking the compliance of an arbitrary electrocardiograph with the requirements of the "Screenfax" diagnostic system is proposed to be solved by constructing permutation statistical tests by comparing the values of RR-intervals and R-amplitudes and detected code sequences (calculated by amplitudes and intervals) for each diseases. This is where The problem of detecting R peaks comes in. In The problem of detecting low-quality electrocardiograms, The problem of estimating the noise level arises. In addition, it is necessary to learn how to filter out ECG with non-informative amplitude values or a large spread of interval values, since the method of analyzing electrocardiographic signals is not applicable to the diagnosis of arrhythmia.
- Novelty: The problem of checking the compliance of the electrocardiograph with the requirements of the diagnostic system can be considered as The problem of comparing ECG recording devices that arise, for example, when comparing different types of electrodes, and the noise level in the values of electrocardiosignals, the presence of baseline drift are selected as criteria and some other features [7].

- Title: Simplification of the IR models structure
- Problem: To achieve the acceptable quality of the information retrieval models, modern search engines use models of very complex structure. In current research we propose to simplify the model structure and make it interpretable without decreasing the model accuracy. To do this, we follow the idea from (Goswami et al., 2014) of constructing the set of nonlinear IR functions of simple structure and admissible accuracy. However, each of these functions is expected to have lower accuracy while comparing with the best IR model of complex structure. Thus, we propose to approximate this complex model with the linear combination of simple nonlinear functions and expect to obtain the comparable quality of solution.

- Title: Testing non-parametric time series forecasting algorithms under non-stationary conditions
- Problem: One of the key assumptions about the distribution of data in non-parametric is the assumption that the time series is stationary. The adequacy of forecasts if this requirement is not met is not guaranteed. It is required to develop a method for determining the fulfillment of the condition of local stationarity of the time series to study the applicability of the main algorithms of nonparametric forecasting in the absence of stationarity. Consider the main methods of nonparametric regression, such as kernel smoothing, spline smoothing, autoregression, moving average, etc.

- Title: Building a hierarchical topic model of a large conference
- Problem: Every year, the program committee of a major EURO conference (more than 2000 reports) is faced with The problem of building a hierarchical model of conference abstracts. Due to the fact that the structure of the conference changes little from year to year, it is proposed to build a thematic model of the future conference using expert models of conferences of previous years. This raises the following subThe problems:

- Title: Regularization of the linear naive bayes classifier.
- Problem: Building a linear classifier is one of the classic and most well studied machine learning The problems. A linear naive bayesian (LNB) classifier has the strong advantage that it builds in time that is linear in sample length, and the strong limitation that it assumes that the features are independent in its derivation. On some data, LNB performs surprisingly well, despite a clear violation of the feature independence hypothesis. The Linear Support Vector Machine (SVM) is considered to be a very successful method, but takes a long time on large samples. Both of these methods work in the same space of linear classifiers. The idea of the study is to bring LNB closer to SVM in terms of quality, but without loss of efficiency, by means of minor corrections.
- Data: One of the three data sets, optional: classification of texts into scientific and non-scientific, classification of abstracts by fields of science, classification of ECG codograms for sick and healthy.

ROC-curves and dependences of Hold-out AUC on the iteration number are built.

- Title: Thematic model of the interests of regular users of the mobile application.
- Problem: The mobile app for learning English words offers the user words one by one. The user can either add a word to the studied ones, or discard it. To start learning words, you need to type at least 10 words. It is required to build a probabilistic word generation model that adapts to the interests of the user.
- Data: There are lists of added and dropped words for each user. In addition, it is intended to use a large external collection of texts, for example, Wikipedia, for sustainable topic definition.

- Base algorithm: Random word selection algorithm.
- Solution: The topic model for each user determines the topic profile of his interests p(t|u). To generate words, word distributions from the distributions p(w|t) of the topics of the given user are used. Dependences of the quality functionals of the thematic model on the iteration number are constructed. The main functionality of quality is the ability of the model to predict which words the user will leave and which ones they will discard.
- Novelty: A feature of the model is the presence of discarded words. The developed methods can also be applied in recommender systems with likes and dislikes.

in documents
through latent topics
We need to test the hypothesis that by imposing constraints on the
matrix using the string sparse regularizer, it is possible to determine the optimal number of topics.
- Data: The collection of documents is specified by word frequencies. Since to solve the problem it is necessary to know the <<true>> number of topics, experiments are performed on realistic model or semi-model data.

- Differential diagnosis of diseases by electrocardiogram
- Problem: It is proposed to solve a typical classification problem. Signs are 216 characteristics calculated from the electrocardiogram. It is necessary to evaluate the quality of the classification on a delayed control sample. To do this, the fractions of errors of the first and second kind are calculated. Under the error of the first kind is meant the assignment of healthy people to the class of patients, the second kind - the assignment of patients to the class of healthy people. Preference is given to minimizing Type II errors.
- Data: For each of the 5 diseases, there are 2 types of samples. Reference - more reliable, specially selected cases. The rest are cases when the diagnoses were established by doctors less reliably; these samples are proposed to be used for control.

- Building predictive models as superpositions of expert-specified functions
- consultant: Ivkin Nikita
- Problem: Required to assign a set of time series to one of several classes. It is proposed to do this using the automated feature generation procedure. To do this, Expert creates a set of generating functions that 1) transform the time series (by example, smooth, decompose into principal components), 2) extract its aggregated descriptions from the time series (by example, mean, variance, number of extrema). It is possible to generate a significant number of features by constructing superpositions of generating functions. The resulting features are used to classify a set of time series (for example, by the nearest neighbor method).

- Interpretation of multimodels in the processing of sociological data
- consultant: Alexander Aduenko
- Problem: The problem of credit scoring is to determine the level of creditworthiness of the borrower who applied for a loan. To do this, a borrower's questionnaire is used, containing both numerical data (age, income, time of residence in the country) and categorical features (gender, profession). It is required, having historical information on loan repayments by other borrowers, to determine whether the client in question will return the loan. Thus, it is required to solve the problem of classification. Since the data can be heterogeneous (for example, if there are different income regions in the country), the data can be described not by one, but by several models. In this paper, we propose to compare two methods for constructing multimodels: mixtures of logistic models and gradient boosting.

- Identification of a person by the image of the iris
- consultant: Matveev I. A.
- Problem: In the problem of identifying a person by the image of the iris (iris), the most important role is played by the selection of the region of the iris in the original image (segmentation of the iris). However, the iris image is usually partially obscured (shaded) by eyelids, eyelashes, highlights, that is, part of the iris cannot be used for recognition and moreover, the use of data from shaded areas can generate false signs and reduce accuracy. Therefore, one of the important steps in the segmentation of the iris image is the rejection of shaded areas.
- Data: bitmap monochrome image, typical size 640*480 pixels (however, other sizes are possible) and coordinates of centers and radii of two circles approximating pupil and iris.

- Local prediction methods with choice of transformation
- Time series forecasting problems have many applications in various fields such as economics, physics, and medicine. Their solution is a forecast for the near future based on the already known values of the predicted series at previous points in time. In the work, a local forecasting algorithm will be built taking into account transformations, which allows, without human intervention, to identify visually similar sections of the time series.

- Non-parametric forecasting: kernel selection, parameter tuning
- The paper describes the method of nuclear smoothing of the time series, as one of the types of nonparametric regression. The essence of the method
consists in restoring the function of time as a weighted linear combination of points from some neighborhood. A continuous bounded symmetric real weight function is called a kernel. The resulting kernel estimate is used to predict the next point in the series. The dependence of the quality of prediction on the parameters of the kernel and the superimposed noise is investigated.

- Exponential Smoothing and Prediction
- The paper investigates the application of the exponential smoothing algorithm to time series forecasting. The algorithm is based on taking into account the previous values of the series with weights decreasing as you move away from the studied section of the time series. The behavior of the algorithm on model data in various models of weights is studied. An analysis of the operation of the algorithm on real data - stock indices was carried out.

- Isolation of the periodic component of the time series
- The project examines the time series for the presence of a periodic component, builds a trigonometric interpolation of the proposed time series using the least squares method. The parameters of the function of the least squares method are estimated depending on the quality of forecasting. In a computational experiment, the results of the work of the correlation function and the least squares method on a noisy model sine and a real time series of an electrocardiogram are presented.

- Multivariate caterpillar, choice of length and number of caterpillar components (comparison of smoothed and unsmoothed time series)
- The paper describes the caterpillar method and its application for time series forecasting. The algorithm is based on the selection of its informative components from the studied time series and the subsequent construction of a forecast. The dependence of the accuracy of forecasts on the choice of the caterpillar length and the number of its components is investigated. In a computational experiment, the results of the algorithm's operation on periodic series with different patterns within a period, on series with violation of periodicity, as well as on real time series of hourly temperature, are presented.

- Prediction by Discrete Argument Functions
- The paper investigates short time series on the example of monophonic musical melodies. There is a prediction of one note by exponential smoothing, a local method, as well as a method of searching for constant patterns. The computational experiment is carried out on two melodies, one of which has exactly repeating fragments.

- Local forecasting methods, search for metrics
- The time series is divided into separate sections, each of which is associated with a point in the n-dimensional feature space. The local model is calculated in three successive stages. The first one finds the k-nearest neighbors of the observed point. The second one builds a simple model using only these k neighbors. The third - using this model, predicts the next one based on the observed point. Many researchers use the Euclidean metric to measure distances between points. This work is intended to compare the accuracy of forecasting when using different metrics. In particular, it is required to investigate the optimal set of weights in the weighted metric to maximize the prediction accuracy.

- Local prediction methods, search for invariant transformation
- The project uses local forecasting methods time series. There is no temporary representation in these methods series in the class of given functions of time. Instead, the prediction is made on the basis of data about some part of the time series (local information is used). In this paper, we study in detail the following method (a generalization of the classical "nearest neighbour").
- Let there be a time series and The problem should continue it. It is assumed that such a continuation is determined
prehistory, i.e. in a series you need to find the part that after some transformation of A becomes similar to the part we are trying to predict. Finding such a transformation A and is the goal of this project. To determine the degree of similarity, the function B is used - the function of the proximity of two segments time series. This is how we find the closest neighbor to our backstory. In general, we are looking for several nearest neighbors. The continuation will be written as their linear combination.

- Time Series Flattening: Forecasting with DTW
- Time series is a sequence of time-ordered values of some real variable
. The problem that accompanies the appearance of time series is the comparison of one data sequence with another. Comparison of sequences is greatly simplified after the deformation of the time series along one of the axes and its alignment. Dynamic time warping (DTW) is a technique for effectively leveling time series. DTW methods are used in speech recognition, information analysis in robotics, industry, medicine and other areas.
- The purpose of the work is to give an example of alignment, to introduce a comparison functional for two time series, which has the natural properties of commutativity, reflexivity and transitivity. The functional should take two time series as input, and at the output give a number characterizing the degree of their "similarity".

- Choosing an Activation Function for Predicting Neural Networks
- The aim of the project is to study the dependence of the quality of prediction by neural networks without feedback (single- and multilayer perceptrons) on the chosen activation function of neurons in the network, as well as on the parameters of this function.
- The result of the project is to evaluate the quality of forecasting by neural networks depending on the type and parameters of the activation function.

- Investigation of Convergence in Prediction by Neural Networks with Feedback
- The dependence of the convergence rate in time series forecasting on the parameters of a neural network with feedback is investigated. The concept of feedback is typical for dynamic systems in which the output signal of some element of the system affects the input signal of this element. The output signal can be represented as an infinite weighted the sum of the current and previous input signals. The Jordan network is used as a neural network model. It is proposed to investigate the rate of convergence depending on the choice of the activation function (sigmoid, hyperbolic tangent), on the number of neurons in the intermediate layer and on the width of the sliding window. We also explore a way to increase the rate of convergence using the generalized delta rule.

- Multidimensional caterpillar, choice of length and number of caterpillar components
- The work is devoted to the study of one of the methods for analyzing multivariate time series - the "caterpillar" method, also known as Singular Spectrum Analysis or SSA. The method can be divided into four stages - the representation of the time series in the form of a matrix using a shift procedure, the calculation of the covariance matrix of the sample and its singular value decomposition, the selection of principal components related to various components of the series (from slowly changing and periodic to noise), and, finally, line restoration.
- The scope of the algorithm is The problems of both meteorology and geophysics, and economics and medicine. The purpose of this work is to find out the dependence of the efficiency of the algorithm on the choice of time series used in its work.

- Using the Granger Test in Time Series Forecasting
- When predicting a series, it can be useful to determine whether a given series is "dependent" on some other series. The Granger test, based on statistical tests, helps to identify such a relationship (in this case, the method does not guarantee an accurate result - when comparing two rows that depend on another row, an error is possible). The method is used in forecasting economic and natural phenomena (for example, earthquakes).
- The purpose of the work is to propose an algorithm that makes the best use of this method; investigate the effectiveness of the method depending on the predicted series.
