This article analyzes data processing problems for training a neural network. The first stage of model training - feature extraction - is discussed in detail. The article discusses the method of mel-frequency cepstral coefficients. The spectrum of the voice signal was plotted. By multiplying the vectors of the signal spectrum and the window function, we found the signal energy that falls into each of the analysis windows. Next, we calculated the mel-frequency cepstral coefficients. The use of a chalk scale helps in audio analysis tasks and is used in training neural networks when working with speech. The use of mel-cepstral coefficients significantly improved the quality of recognition due to the fact that it made it possible to see the most informative coefficients. These coefficients have already been used as input to the neural network. The method with mel-frequency cepstral coefficients made it possible to reduce the input data for training, increase productivity, and improve recognition clarity.

This article describes the first stage of the research work on the development of an FPGA-based camera for vehicle identification tasks, which are widely used in automated weight and size control points. Since the FPGA is an alternative to conventional processors, which features the ability to perform multiple tasks in parallel, an FPGA-equipped camera will be able to perform the functions of detecting and identifying vehicles at the same time.Thus, the camera will not only transmit the image, but also transmit the result of processing for problem-oriented control systems, decision-making and optimization of data flow processing, after which the server will only need to confirm or deny the results of the camera, which will significantly reduce the image processing time from all automated points of weight and size control.In the course of development, a simple VGA port board, a static image program for displaying it on a monitor in 640x480 resolution, and a pixel counter program were implemented. EP4CE6E22C8 is used as FPGA, the power of which is more than enough to achieve the result.

The method of analyzing hierarchies has long been described, studied and applied in practice. In order to reduce the factor of subjectivity inherent in many decisions, we are considering the option of using the hierarchy analysis method, in which the assessment is carried out not by the decision maker, but by a group of independent experts. Thus, we propose a method for solving multicriteria optimization problems based on mixing (combination) of two methods - the method of analyzing hierarchies and the method of expert assessment.

Often in practice, construction times are estimated using deterministic methods, for example, based on a network schedule of the construction plan with deterministic values for the timing of specific works. This approach does not reflect the reality associated with the probabilistic nature of risks and leads to a systematic underestimation of the time and, as a consequence, the cost of construction. The research proposes to use a Markov discrete heterogeneous Markov chain to assess the risks of non-completion of construction in due time. The states of the Markov process are proposed to correspond to the stages of construction of the object. Probabilities of system transitions from state to state are proposed to be estimated on the basis of empirical data on previously implemented projects and/or expertly, taking into account the risks characterising construction conditions in dynamics. The dynamic model of the construction plan development allows to determine such characteristics as: the probability of the construction plan realisation within the established terms, the probability that the object will ever be completed, the time of construction to the stage of completion with a given degree of reliability; unconditional probabilities of the system states (construction stage) in a given period of time relative to the beginning of construction. The model has been tested. The proposed model allows us to estimate the time of completion of construction, to assess the risks of failure to complete construction within the established deadlines in the planned conditions of construction realisation, taking into account the dynamics of risks.

The purpose of the study is to improve the efficiency of Dijkstra's algorithm by using the shared memory model with OpenMP library and working on the principle of parallel execution in the implementation of the algorithm. Using Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest path between two nodes in a graph is quite common. However, the time complexity of the algorithm increases as the size of the graph increases, resulting in longer execution time, so parallel execution is a good option to solve the time complexity problem. In this research work, we propose a parallel computing method to improve the efficiency of Dijkstra's algorithm for large graphs.The method involves dividing the array of paths in Dijkstra's algorithm into a specified number of processors for parallel execution. We provide an implementation of the parallelized Dijkstra algorithm and access its performance using actual datasets and with different number of nodes. Our results show that Dijkstra's parallelized algorithm can significantly speed up the process compared to the sequential version of the algorithm, while reducing execution time and continuously improving CPU efficiency, making it a useful choice for finding shortest paths in large graphs.

It is estimated that more than 9% of the Russian population is hearing impaired, and the development of dactyl recognition systems is becoming critical to facilitate their social communication. The introduction of dactyl recognition systems will improve communication for these people, providing them with equal opportunities and improving their quality of life. The research focused on learning the characters of the dactyl alphabet, as well as developing a labeled dataset and training a neural network for gesture recognition. The aim of the work is to create tools capable of recognizing the signs of the Russian dactyl alphabet. Within the framework of this research the method of computer vision was applied. The process of gesture recognition consists of the following steps: first the camera captures the video stream, after the images of hands are preprocessed. Then a pre-trained neural network analyzes these images and extracts important features. Next, gesture classification takes place, where the model determines whether the sign belongs to a certain letter of the alphabet. Finally, the recognition results are interpreted into a suitable symbol associated with the gesture. During the research process, the signs of the dactyl alphabet and interaction features of people with auditory impairment were studied and a dataset of more than 25000 trained data was also created. A model was developed and trained based on the most appropriate architecture for the task of the work. The model was tested and optimized to improve its accuracy. The results of this work can be used in the creation of devices to compensate for poor hearing, providing people with hearing impairment comfort in society.

A new mathematical apparatus is proposed for monitoring the adequacy of the choice of signal sampling interval from the point of view of taking into account the main high-frequency components and identifying the possibilities of increasing it. It is based on the construction of special aliasing grams based on measured signal samples. Aliasing grams are graphs of standard deviations of the amplitude spectra of a conventionally reference discrete signal, specified with the highest sampling frequency, and auxiliary discrete signals obtained over the same observation interval, but with lower sampling frequencies. By analyzing such graphs, it is easy to identify sampling frequencies that lead to the appearance of the aliasing effect in the case of sampling, and, consequently, to distortion of the signal spectrum. To speed up and simplify the construction of aliasinggrams, it is proposed to use as auxiliary signals obtained from the reference one by thinning. It has been shown that this device is also effective in the case of the spectrum spreading effect. It can be used in self-learning measuring systems.
