Why Design Programs: Anatoliy Shalyto on Automata-Based Programming
…s in perceiving programming as engineering, not as some art, as they do it now. To achieve that, one can make use of the automatic control systems that are used in engineering sciences. This approach, proposed by Anatoliy Shalyto as early as in 1991, is called automata programming. This implies not only using such mathematical abstractions as automatons, but a who…

Teaching the Machine: The Prospects of Neural Networks
…s later, Frank Rosenblatt presented the simplest neural network that could already discern objects in two-dimensional space. Yet, the turning point happened later: in 2007, scientists from Toronto University created machine learning algorithms for neural networks, and in 2012, researchers from the same university applied deep neural networks which could recognize …

New Program for Crowd Behavior Analysis
…To describe crowd behavior using mathematics, the scientists use multimodel agent-based simulations. This approach implies that behavior of a crowd is determined by a trajectory and speed of single agents. AI systems are used here to control the behavior of each participant of the crowd. The researchers from ITMO’s eScience Research …

ITMO’s Bioengineering Center Presents Research on New Bio-Compatible Implants
…ction. Gold has a similar effect, though we still don't know the mechanism behind it. There are still few research articles on using nanoparticles in medical polymers. All the scientific results are made experimentally, but it is some fundamental principles that we need", comments Maria Fokina, associate professor of the Department of IT in the Fuel and Energy Indust…

A Semester in China: ITMO Student Shared his Impressions
…istry department. There are modern and well-equipped labs — the government of China invests a lot in education. I visited several of them, and despite the fact that I am not a science person, I appreciated the infrastructure of the university and opportunities that it gives to senior students. It also has lots of extra-curricular activities, so you will never get …
