Person Re-Identification Using Maintain Translation Invariance and F-triplet Loss

Pedestrian re-identification involves matching pedestrian images or videos across different cameras. The goal is to retrieve the same pedestrian given a query image from a gallery of images captured by various surveillance devices. As a cross-view task, the spatial position of individuals in images often changes for pedestrian re-identification. Maintaining spatial position invariance is crucial for pedestrian re-identification. Besides, focusing on pedestrians and minimizing the influence of background noise remain unresolved issues in pedestrian re-identification. Deep learning models are often used, however, there is a low-frequency preference phenomenon. Deep learning models tend to learn low-frequency features during the training process, neglecting high-frequency features. Hence, simultaneously learning high and low-frequency features is particularly important in pedestrian re-identification tasks. This paper proposes the design of a novel module to maintain translational invariance in the network architecture. The original loss function is modified using the Fourier transform to better learn high-frequency and low-frequency features. By concurrently learning high and low-frequency features, the specific region of the pedestrian in the image can be accurately determined, thereby improving the accuracy of pedestrian re-identification. In this way, we can improve robustness of pedestrian re-identification in complex cross-view scenarios. Superior experimental performance is achieved on two large-scale Market-1501 and DukeMTMC datasets.
Research on Aspect-based Sentiment Analysis Based on XLNet-GCN

Aspect-level sentiment analysis is a sub-task of fine-grained sentiment analysis, which aims to predict the sentiment polarity of specific entities or aspects in the identified text to provide richer sentiment information. In recent years, notable advancements have been achieved in the realm of aspect-level text sentiment analysis research. However, the existing methods still have the problems that the traditional pre-trained model cannot solve the problem of multiple meanings of a word, and the existing attention mechanism model cannot recognize context words as sentiment aspect words accurately. Therefore, an aspect-level text sentiment analysis model based on XLNet-GCN is proposed in this paper. Firstly, XLNet is used to generate dynamic word vector representations of text sequences. Then, the text vectors are inputted into BiLSTM to extract text features, and atop the BiLSTM output, multi-layer graph convolution is executed to acquire aspect-specific features. Finally, the sentiment polarity is computed as the model output. Compared with the classical aspect-specific graph convolutional neural network model (ASGCN), our proposed model has improved the accuracy and F1 value by 0.08%∼1.55% and 0.84%∼2.01% in five benchmark datasets.
Optimization of an Autonomous Mobile Robot Path Planning Based on Improved Genetic Algorithms

Mobile robots are intended to operate in a variety of environments, and they need to be able to navigate and travel around obstacles, such as objects and barriers. In order to guarantee that the robot will not come into contact with any obstacles or other objects during its movement, algorithms for path planning have been demonstrated. The basic goal while constructing a route is to find the fastest and smoothest route between the starting point and the destination. This article describes route planning using the improvised genetic algorithm with the Bezier Curve (GA-BZ). This study carried out two main experiments, each using a 20x20 random grid map model with varying percentages of obstacles (5%, 15%, and 30% in the first experiment, and 25% and 50% in the second). In the initial experiments, the population (PN), generation (GN), and mutation rate (MR) of genetic algorithms (GA) will be altered to the following values: (PN = 100, 125, 150, or 200; GN = 100, 125, 150; and MR = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7) respectively. The goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of AMR in terms of travel distance (m), total time (s), and total cost (RM) in comparison to traditional GA and GA-BZ. The second experiment examined robot performance utilising GA, GA-BZ, Simulated Annealing (SA), A-Star (A*), and Dijkstra's Algorithms (DA) for path distance (m), time travel (s), and fare trip (RM). The simulation results are analysed, compared, and explained. In conclusion, the project is summarised.

Organizing Research in Libraries: Framing the Problem

On September 27—28, 2023, the Russian National Library (RNL) hosted the First All-Russian Meeting of Deputy Directors of Libraries for Scientific and Methodological Work, organized on behalf of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation together with the Russian State Library (RSL) and the Russian Library Association. The main purpose of the meeting was to improve the organization of research work in central libraries of the Russian Federation subjects for more active participation of libraries in the implementation of the tasks set out in the “Fundamentals of State Cultural Policy”. The meeting was the next stage in the consistent work of national libraries to support, intensify and institutionalize research work in Russian libraries: the RNL developed a normative-recommendatory act “Sample Provision on Organization of Research Activities of the Central Library of the Subject of the Russian Federation”, adopted on June 15, 2023 at the All-Russian Library Congress; together with the RSL, courses were held as part of additional professional education on “Organization of Research Activities in Libraries”; a collection of articles “Research Activities in Regional Libraries: Content and Organization” was published. In the course of the meeting the issues of paramount importance for the central regional libraries were discussed: state scientific policy, the problem field of library research, experience in organizing research work in libraries of different types, methodology and techniques of library research, organization of interaction between central regional libraries and the RNL and the RSL within the framework of forming a unified system of scientific and methodological work of libraries. The main attention was paid to the central libraries of the subjects of the Russian Federation, which play the role of scientific and methodological centers for the libraries of the region. Based on the results of the meeting, further necessary measures were outlined to strengthen the scientific functions of libraries, which are important for the development of the country’s culture.
The 20th International Scientific Readings in Memory of N.F. Fedorov: Prologue to the 200th Anniversary of the Philosopher in 2029

A scientific review of the problems and content of the 20th International Scientific Readings in Memory of N.F. Fedorov is presented. The event took place on June 7—10, 2023 in Moscow and was devoted to the ideas, projects, and heritage of Nikolai Fedorovich Fedorov (1829—1903), an outstanding Russian philosopher, theorist of library and museum studies, pedagogue and innovator. The relevance of the Forum is conditioned both by the necessity of forming the programme of celebrating the 200th anniversary of N.F. Fedorov’s birth, which will be celebrated in 2029, and by the large-scale work on the creation of an encyclopedic online resource dedicated to the philosopher. Its goals: to present in a systematized form the main achievements of Fedorov studies of the 20th—21st centuries in Russia and abroad, to give a coherent and authoritative body of knowledge about N.F. Fedorov, to become a guide to his creative heritage and Fedorovianism of the 20th century, to show the significance of N.F. Fedorov’s ideas for modernity. The opening and plenary session of the event took place in the Russian State Library. The reports delivered during the readings contain the latest results of research in the field of N.F. Fedorov’s biography, introduce new archival data into the scientific turnover, make a significant contribution to the analytical description of N.F. Fedorov’s philosophical system, his language and poetics, aesthetics, pedagogy, and museology. As part of the readings, a round table was held devoted to the programme of celebrating the 200th anniversary of N.F. Fedorov’s birth. It presented current memorial, educational, creative projects of libraries, museums, schools, cultural centers working with the name and heritage of the philosopher of the “universal cause”. In addition to the scientific agenda, the programme of the readings included the ceremony of awarding the N.F. Fedorov Medal to librarians who embody his model of a “library open to all”.
Interdisciplinary Knowledge in Library and Bibliographic Classification and Universal Decimal Classification

Library classification was originally created for the purpose of thematic arrangement of books on the shelves in libraries on the basis of classification systems. The creation of the latter, in turn, is closely related to the classification of sciences, as works devoted to certain fields of knowledge or spheres of human activity are classified. Throughout their history, classification schemes have been transformed and structurally changed, based on the basic principles and levels of scientific knowledge. Originating in the ancient period, science has been developing for centuries according to the disciplinary principle. However, in the process of evolution of scientific knowledge there is interdisciplinary integration, which involves both natural, technical and social sciences. Complex fields of study are formed as a result of interscientific interaction, when the most distant sciences can discover a direct connection. This is a joint cognitive activity of specialists from different scientific disciplines, involving not only research, but also other types of activity (organizational, communicative, journalistic, etc.). Thus, the sphere of interdisciplinarity is formed. The article considers the representation of the problems of interdisciplinary research in the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) and in the Library and Bibliographic Classification (LBC), recognized as the national classification system of Russia.
The adequacy and variability of the translation of terms in technical texts

This article describes some of the problems encountered in the translation of scientific and technical terms that are currently relevant and their causes. In fact, not only students, but also specialists face a number of difficulties when translating scientific and technical texts, because it is important to learn the terms of that particular field along with a set of general words in the translation. And it also gives some information about the adequacy in the field of translation and ways of using it in the technical texts. Different views and theories of the equivalence and adequacy concepts are revealed. The problem of technical translation is of great importance nowadays, therefore common difficulties that a translator faces are identified in the article. Moreover, recommendations on technical translation are given.
Current Trends of Naming in the Corporate Network of Public Libraries of St. Petersburg

The informatization of modern society motivates library management and staff to modernize their professional activities and apply various strategies to position a new, relevant image. As a consequence, libraries and many other cultural institutions are striving to move from faceless number designations to a strategically justified name, as it is one of the most important tools for forming a vivid brand. These phenomena are referred to by experts as “naming”. A successful library name, if successfully positioned in general, attracts new audiences to the library and can increase the effectiveness of the cultural institution. There is a growing number of studies of the history and current activities of named libraries. Despite the large volume of thematic materials, the problem of terminological disunity in the researched topic is increasing. In this regard, the author justified the use of the term “naming” as a universal and the most accurate designation of the activity on creation and functioning of an effective name of an organisation, product or service. The author’s generalised classification of approaches to the formation of names of public libraries (personified, toponymic and conceptual), which formed the basis for the study of current trends in naming in the Corporate Network of Public Libraries of St. Petersburg (CNPL SPb), is proposed. Personalised names are given to libraries named after writers and other important representatives of culture and art. Toponymic names characterize the relationship with the territory where the library is located. The conceptual variant of the name is connected with the reflection of the priority direction of the cultural institution’s activity, as well as with associative names, the basis of which is a certain image. The study concluded that the concept of “named library” is increasingly used by specialists in the context of toponymic and conceptual naming. It was found that there are more named libraries in the CNPL SPb than numbered libraries, the prevalence of personified and conceptual naming was found, and the trend towards the further spread of named libraries was noted. The article is of interest to librarians, librarians, specialists and students of higher education institutions of culture.
Brocade Papers in the Collection of Russian Books of Civil Printing of the 18th Century of the Russian State Library Book Museum

Among the decorative binding papers of the 18th century, brocade papers, so called because of their resemblance to expensive gold woven fabrics, can be recognized as particularly spectacular. The rich relief pattern, the combination of gold and silver lustre with a multi-coloured paper backing was the secret of their popularity in European countries for a whole century. The technique of paper gilding and embossing originated in the early 18th century in Augsburg. Subsequently, brocade papers were produced in various cities in Germany and mainly spread throughout Europe from there. Although brocade papers were also used by Russian masters, there are no special works about this binding material in the Russian historiography. The article is devoted to the description of the collection of brocade papers preserved as covers and forzats in Russian civil books of the 18th century in the collection of the Book Museum of the Russian State Library (RSL). The questions of terminology, production technology and systematization of brocade papers are considered. The main types of domestic publications characterized by the use of this material are calendars, published annually at the Academy of Sciences printing house in St. Petersburg, and descriptions of various celebrations, speeches “on occasion”, odes, “instructive words” and “reasonings”, produced by different printing houses and usually small in volume. The collection provides rich material for a more accurate understanding of the role of the printing house and the aesthetic preferences of the reading public in the external design of books in the period of the birth of bookbinding in Russia. Decorative binding papers are valuable not only for the researcher of old-printed books, librarian, collector or restorer, but also for the cultural historian in a broad sense, as content, stylistically and technologically they reflect general trends in the production of wallpapers, fabrics, furniture and trade packaging. On the basis of the description of the quantitative and qualitative composition of the collection of the RSL Book Museum a methodology of working with brocade papers is proposed, which can be applied to the collections of other fund holders as well.

Radar-based path planning of autonomous surface vehicle with static and dynamic obstacles in a Frenet Frame

Abstract Navigation safety at sea is vital for each autonomous surface vehicle (ASV), which involves the problem of motion planning in dynamic environments and their robust tracking through feedback control. We present a practical path-planning method that generates smooth trajectories for a marine vehicle traveling in an unknown environment, where obstacles are detected in real time by millimetre wave (mmWave) radar. Our approach introduces a polynomial curve to describe the lateral and longitudinal trajectories in the Frenet frame, known as the ‘motion primitives’, whose combination ensures that the planning area is properly covered. In addition, we can select a feasible, optimal and collision-free trajectory from such a set of motion primitives that is generated by considering the vehicle dynamics and comfort. The capabilities of proposed algorithm are demonstrated in the experiment with static and dynamic obstacles.
Digital open educational resources: teachers’ perceptions of the pedagogical implications

The educational paradigm has been changing, impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, that made witness the field's strengths, weaknesses, and lack of readiness making the transition from traditional classroom teaching to Online Remote Teaching and Learning (ORTL). While pre-pandemic studies state that teachers were willing to change, post-pandemic studies still show that teachers have a basic or medium level of digital competencies, still feeling insecure about how to effectively and efficiently use digital tools in their educational practices. The study presented here is being conducted at a Portuguese Higher Education Institution, to students of a master's degree in Digital Education Resources, after they were trained in the development and implementation of digital Open Educational Resources (OER). This paper presents preliminary findings concerning teachers' perceptions about the pedagogical implications of using OER after having received specific training on how to prepare, adapt, create, and implement them. This study methodology consisted of the application of questionnaires, at the end of the unit on Digital Educational Resources. The results are preliminary, concerning the first implementation of the questionnaires. Our goal is to consistently apply them, to gain a better understanding of the knowledge gained over the course, and positive and negative implications on their pedagogical experience.
