• ITMO’s Andrey Filchenkov: How To Train Neural Networks To Identify Debtors Based on Their Expenses

  …an algorithm based on an autoencoder, which is a type of neural network that can produce reduced dimensionality representations of objects that have the most significant characteristics. To put it simply, at the start we have accumulated spendings of the bank’s clients in 13 categories. Then, the autoencoder has to compress this data to have a two-dimensional represe…

• Researchers Highlight Inbreeding Among Amur Leopards Through Whole Genome Sequencing

  …apers, we demonstrated that Amur leopards from zoos have greater genetic potential than their wild counterparts. Proper matching of animals might provide appropriate genetic material that’ll help improve the health of the wild population. Moreover, the creation of additional re-introduced natural  population in the former natural habitats of leopards would be an addi…

• Picture of the Week: Formation of Thin Glass Spheres

  … According to the study, the spheres are formed when water vapors seeping into porous ceramics squeeze the hot melted glass out of the affected area. As a result, the molten material expands, cools, and solidifies into a spherical shape with walls up to 100 nm thick. The formation of these spheres triggers a complex set of thermophysical, hydrodynamic, and optical…
