Nowadays chatbots are becoming very popular in many areas, such as business, banking, healthcare, study, travel tips, etc. The popularity of messaging platforms such as Telegram, Messenger, Whatsapp, and others has made chatbots not only popular but also become a trend in the future. Since the end of December 2019, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a major global health crisis. Therefore, it is extremely important to provide information about the epidemic to all people. Many governments and organizations have launched chatbots to inform the public about COVID-19. However, these chat rules are limited as they understand a limited set of questions entered by users. Thereby, creating a chatbot based on machine learning for coronavirus information is an urgent task. The purpose of the study is the development of a chatbot for searching for information about COVID-19 coronavirus infection. The method of designing and developing a chatbot on the RASA framework, as well as testing of the developed prototype, are described. Three chatbot models were created: the baseline model (B), the baseline model with synonyms (BS), and the baseline model with synonyms and noises (BSS). The effectiveness of three models was evaluated based on the following indicators: accuracy, precision, and F-measure. The analysis results showed that the BS and BSS models are better than the B model.

Keywords:chat bot, natural language processing, serverless, intent, entities, RASA, COVID-19.

The article discusses a method of counteracting destructive electromagnetic effects, based on the transfer of the signal spectrum using wavelet transforms in special communication networks (SS SN), operating on the basis of the WIMAX standard for mobile broadband access. A Gaussian bipolar pulse is selected as a model of destructive electromagnetic influence that affects the operation of a special purpose communication network. When this type of interference is affected by a WIMAX system signal, the normal operation of the CC SN is disrupted. The MHAT wavelet was chosen as the modulating function, since it is described in the time-frequency half-plane and its parameters depend on certain coefficients of the scaling factor and the time shift. Thus, it is possible to change the parameters of the modulated signal by changing the coefficients of the wavelet function by which it is modulated. MHAT wavelet, obtained as a result of double differentiation of the Gauss function. This method finds its application primarily due to the fact that the wavelet operates in the time-frequency half-plane and its parameters depend on certain coefficients (scaling factor and time shift). Thus, it is possible to change the parameters of the modulated signal by changing the coefficients of the wavelet function by which it is modulated. The results of this method are the transfer of the spectrum of the WIMAX signal to another frequency band, where the SS SN also functions by modulating the wavelet function, as well as increasing its power and expanding the spectrum.

Keywords:broadband communication system, WIMAX communication systems, modeling of functioning under conditions of destructive electromagnetic influences, а method of counteracting destructive electromagnetic influences using wavelet transform, MHAT-wavelet.

Due to the rapid development of wireless technologies, the optimal choice of network types and routing protocols is an urgent task. The current state of traffic models in terms of routing protocols in wireless sensor networks (WSN) is considered. The class of corresponding low-power network (LLN) provides efficient routing when transmitting data packets in small local networks. The AODV (Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector) dynamic routing protocol in the BSS minimizes the length of the traffic route. Modeling traffic in the FSU is considered using color images as an example. For aggregated heterogeneous traffic flows in the network, the Kolmogorov criterion is applied, and dependences are obtained that allow one to calculate the Hurst coefficient using analysis of the variant variable . The same parameter is calculated as optimal for a packet of images on a sensor field of depending on the number of transmitting nodes and is equal to . For the WSN, various connection options with various connection options for the client and operator in the presence or absence of a base station are considered. Also, for wireless sensor networks, the RPL and AODV protocols are compared by simulation. Shown, the first is optimal. From the perspective of the 5th generation networks, it is possible to use D2D (device-to-device) connections. In this version of the two protocols (AODV, DSDV), AODV is more preferable both for the minimum total delay time and the minimum number of steps in data transfer. The development of 5th generation wireless networks will bring traffic to the level of broadband wired Internet and provide a qualitatively new level of opportunities for customers of these networks.

Keywords:wireless sensor network, RPL protocol, AODV protocol, D2D connections, Hurst coefficient, Kolmogorov criterion, 5G network.

Scientific and technical progress has contributed to a rapid increase in the complexity of systems and their functions, which is especially characteristic of various fields of modern industry. Here, the cost of failure of equipment can be very high and sometimes lead to invaluable losses associated with the loss of life. Maintenance of such systems requires high material costs, but still does not exclude the possibility of failures. This indicates that the problem of ensuring the reliability of complex multi-object systems is still far from being solved. In this regard, the task of ensuring reliable operation of systems while minimizing the cost of their maintenance and maintenance is now in the first place. The solution of this problem is impossible without the development and implementation of intelligent systems that perform the functions of predictive analytics and predictive maintenance. This article proposes a hybrid neural network model for predicting failures of complex multi-object systems based on the classification approach, aimed at improving the operational reliability of equipment at minimal cost. The results of computational experiments confirming the high efficiency of the proposed solution are presented

Modern medical practice is characterized by the universal use of technical means of diagnosis and treatment of diseases. One of the most rapidly developing trends in medicine is dentistry, in particular the aesthetic dentistry. The key problem in the aesthetic dentistry is the selection of an adequate color of dentures. To solve this problem, an information model was developed for synthesis of color components of metal-plastic dentures. A graph was developed to select the components that make up the mass of dyes for the selection of a given spectral component of the front part of prosthetic tooth. Regression analysis was used as the main method of analyzing the process of powder synthesis, which is a data analysis tool that allows investigate the influence of one or more independent variables on a dependent variable. Thus, a regression type mathematical model was developed in which the change of color components takes place in correlation; making it possible to compile interpolation equations and, based on them, to analyze and consider a single system for all sublevels of color gradations. To verify the operation of the developed information model, an algorithm and specialized software were developed. The conducted clinical studies have shown the full adequacy of the developed model.

Keywords:modeling, computer science, graph, regression model, algorithm, dentistry, denture, aesthetics.

User engagement is one of the key indicators of the quality of interactive software (software), which is characterized by intense user interaction with the system. Training software belongs to the category of products, which, by definition, are based on interaction with the user, so the user’s involvement in the process of his interaction with the training system directly affects the quality of the system. Modern trends in the development of educational software are associated with the personification of the processes of user interaction with the system, which has led to the emergence of adaptive educational systems that can monitor user actions and adapt to their capabilities and needs. User involvement has a significant impact on learning and directly affects the result, therefore, the level of user involvement in the process of its interaction with the training system, as an indirect assessment of the user’s knowledge level, is applicable as a characteristic of the adaptation model in the development of adaptive learning systems. The results of the engagement analysis can be used to adapt the system aimed at retaining and increasing user engagement in the process of its interaction with the system, and thus improve its quality. The paper considers methods for assessing involvement and the possibility of their application to assessing the quality of educational software at different stages of its life cycle. The features of the use of online-assessment of engagement to adapt the learning process to the user in adaptive learning games are shown, related to the need to distinguish between involvement in the game and involvement in the learning process, and correlation of involvement and success in mastering knowledge in the game. Some possible combinations of assessments of the involvement and effectiveness of the user’s knowledge level in the process of interaction with the educational game and their possible interpretations are proposed.

Keywords: engagement, engagement assessment, educational software quality, learning system, engagement online-assessment, adaptive learning game.

This paper considers the technological process of vulcanization of automobile tires from the point of view of a potentially dangerous process. Currently, technological processes are becoming more complex, evolving most of the time in conditions of uncertainty, incompleteness and indistinctness of information. One of the most common methods of process control today is still PID controllers, due to their ease of implementation, low cost and their satisfactory results in the control of linear systems. In order to adequately control potentially dangerous technological processes, it is necessary to develop new models and algorithms based on new intelligent approaches. One of the most promising approaches to process control is models based on fuzzy logic and fuzzy sets. The paper presents the General mathematical structure of the vulcanization process control system. This paper presents the synthesis of a fuzzy controller of heating steam temperature of the car tire vulcanization process. .

Keywords:fuzzy inference systems (FIS), fuzzy logic, vulcanization, technological process, potentially dangerous objects.
