The paper considers the problem of velocity model acquisition for a complex media based on boundary measurements. The acoustic model is used to describe the media. We used an open-source dataset of velocity distributions to compare the presented results with the previous works directly. Forward modeling is performed using the grid-characteristic numerical method. The inverse problem is solved using deep convolutional neural networks. Modifications for a baseline UNet architecture are proposed to improve both structural similarity index measure quantitative correspondence of the velocity profiles with the ground truth. We evaluate our enhancements and demonstrate the statistical significance of the results.

Modern large-scale data-farms consist of hundreds of thousands of storage devices that span distributed infrastructure. Devices used in modern data centers (such as controllers, links, SSD- and HDD-disks) can fail due to hardware as well as software problems. Such failures or anomalies can be detected by monitoring the activity of components using machine learning techniques. In order to use these techniques, researchers need plenty of historical data of devices in normal and failure mode for training algorithms. In this work, we challenge two problems: 1) lack of storage data in the methods above by creating a simulator and 2) applying existing online algorithms that can faster detect a failure occurred in one of the components. We created a Go-based (golang) package for simulating the behavior of modern storage infrastructure. The software is based on the discrete-event modeling paradigm and captures the structure and dynamics of high-level storage system building blocks. The package's flexible structure allows us to create a model of a real-world storage system with a configurable number of components. The primary area of interest is exploring the storage machine's behavior under stress testing or exploitation in the medium- or long-term for observing failures of its components. To discover failures in the time series distribution generated by the simulator, we modified a change point detection algorithm that works in online mode. The goal of the change-point detection is to discover differences in time series distribution. This work describes an approach for failure detection in time series data based on direct density ratio estimation via binary classifiers.

The number of space objects will grow several times in a few years due to the planned launches of constellations of thousands microsatellites. It leads to a significant increase in the threat of satellite collisions. Spacecraft must undertake collision avoidance maneuvers to mitigate the risk. According to publicly available information, conjunction events are now manually handled by operators on the Earth. The manual maneuver planning requires qualified personnel and will be impractical for constellations of thousands satellites. In this paper we propose a new modular autonomous collision avoidance system called "Space Navigator". It is based on a novel maneuver optimization approach that combines domain knowledge with Reinforcement Learning methods.
