• The New Google Translate: What is the Future of Neural Networks?

  …simulate. For instance, the network has to recognize a letter from a digital image. It analyzes the "A" letter, but gets "L" as the result. When such errors occur, the network rolls back and starts making mathematical corrections to every preceding layer to get a correct answer as a result. This is called backpropagation, and can be repeated as many times as necessar…

• A Glimpse of the Future: Open Day at the School of Computer Technologies and Controls

  …One's expectations of the future may differ from the reality — reminded Oleg Borisov, a PhD Student for the School of Computer Technologies and Controls. On October 21st, it became a year since the scientists failed to invent one of "greatest expectations" of 2015 — the hoverboard from the "Back to the Future" movie. Still, many other technologies came into being — a…

• Nonlinear Metamaterials in Making Computers More Effective

  …ural crystals. This property can become crucial for creating fully optical systems of information processing, as addition and subtraction of signal frequencies, as well as controlling the distribution of light is only possible in nonlinear structures. Still, a fundamental problem arises: how to describe the properties of the electromagnetic response of such materi…

• Expert Opinion: How to Predict the Behavior of a 75 Million- Crowd

  …to study crowds by comparing them with a flow of liquid or comparing pedestrians with gas molecules. However all experiments based on these approaches were conducted under control when trajectories of crowd movements were known in advance. It means that it is difficult to repeat the situations and take into account all possible ways of behavior. "We are likely to b…

  …so the less you rely on people, the better. Use the statistics as much as you can. Use any indexes to detect bugs, even the most unconventional ones. And don’t forget quick rollbacks — that will save you both time and trouble. Just roll the system back and study the problem to find a solution. If you do it fast, most users won't even…
