The New Google Translate: What is the Future of Neural Networks?
…the information goes from the sides to the center. So, who defines if the result is correct? The neural network has its own reference examples which it tries to 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 ma…

Academic Mobility: ITMO’s New Collaborations in France
…peaking of Paris Saclay, the schools will unite not only formally, but also geographically. They are already building a common university campus where most of the consortium's institutions and schools will move. The students will gain access to all of the university's territory, not just a particular school. "Recently, Guillaume Garreta, formerly head of the "Pô…

A Solar Lab: What Mysteries are Hidden in the Sun?
…anks to seismology one can also understand what happens under the Sun’s surface -it is also called helioseismology and when one deals with stars it is called asteroseismology. Instead of aimed explosion we use convection: when a convection cell appears it provokes a small explosion, which causes a heat wave. By estimating waves we can detect their depth and estimate …

Pokémon and Headaches: What is Big Data?
…e'll be hyper-converged infrastructure and the possibility to make different inquiries. Also, Big Data calls for high accuracy and data input security. Some serious analytical instruments are to be used to process them. Serious means that they allow taking the whole data and getting some results for an inquiry. Also, Big Data technologies are generally so complex tha…

Indexes That Matter: Elsevier’s Consultant on How to Use Bibliographic Databases
… understand what this source is. Some aim to make headlines, so even if the source article was from a trusted scientific journal, it can be interpreted in some wrong way — for instance, the significance may be exaggerated or something like this. Surely, it's not always easy to decide if you can trust a particular media. Most know of Cell or The Lancet, but it all get…

Researchers Find Way to Enhance Photon Entanglement
…Entangled photons are frequently used in quantum data transmission, quantum teleportation and are considered to be instrumental to the rise of optical computing. Quantum entanglement occurs when entangled particles are united by a single quantum state and therefore retain correlation at distance. For example, by measuring the state of one entangled photon, scientists…

How Customs Correlate with Physics, Chemistry and Analytics
…through customs: jewelry, rare animals, works of art, offending drugs and so forth. Each item has its' unique peculiarities that determine the approach to working with it. For instance, dealing with counterfeit goods includes many issues such as trademark imitation, fake medical drugs and many others. Smugglers always develop new technologies and methods, so customs …

Nonlinear Metamaterials in Making Computers More Effective
…Metamaterials, or artificial composite structures, have several unusual electromagnetic properties. For instance, the nonlinear response of metamaterials can be a lot more powerful than that of natural crystals. This property can become crucial for creating fully optical systems of information processing, as addition and subtraction of signal frequencies, as well as …

Grants of 2016: ITMO Gets 90 Millions on Hybrid Light-Matter States Research
…ects with low mass obey the laws of quantum physics. The lesser the mass, the more evident the quantum properties are, and that's what we expect in hybrid state objects", explains Ivan Shelykh. Research of hybrid light-matter conditions allows for studying collective quantum phenomena from the fundamental physics point of view. On the other hand, hybrid light-ma…
