• Scientist Evgeny Belyaev on the Challenges of Video Encoding, Limits of Compression, and Future of Streaming

  …andard is getting harder and harder to achieve. At some point, we will either have to invent something completely new to revolutionize the field or we will have to focus on specific applications, where some additional knowledge about a video source is available. For example, I'm working on a task of inspecting various infrastructures with aerial drones. A camera is m…

  …as well as to optimize the obtained results via machine learning methods. The second is to develop systems for the recognition of time complexity and high-speed response of specific classes of physical algorithms of quantum random walk on graphs based on machine learning methods. This last question falls into the remit of Alexey Melnikov’s work. “The project wil…

• What Are Vernacular Regions and Why Study Them?

  …lp of a sociological study and an analysis of pedestrian connectivity. It’s worth mentioning that apart from social likeness, vernacular regions also have common functional specificity, i.e. the type of venues that form a cluster.

• Science Communicator Daria Dvorzhitskaya on How to Measure the Effectiveness of Science Pop Events

  …ct for CERN. Could you tell us what that’s about? I first came to CERN in 2017, to do an internship aimed at studying its staff’s attitudes to science communication as a specific theoretical model. The following year, I returned to CERN to do some research for my thesis. I was measuring the effectiveness of Microcosm, one of CERN’s regular exhibitions, and made a …
