Computing Methodologies and Applications
Theory of Data
When modeling social processes and phenomena, it is often necessary to process data related to categorized features, identify cause-and-effect relationships between such data, and determine the most significant indicators. A study of existing approaches to analyzing dependencies between categorized variables revealed several problems when applying these methods to multidimensional categorized data (tensors). Therefore, this article proposes an approach to studying dependencies between such variables using multidimensional component analysis. This approach involves applying tensor unfolding matrices obtained for each of its axes (categorized features). The method allows for the construction of integral characteristics (components) based on the elements of the original tensor, the formation of component loading matrices, and the calculation of the tensor core, which has fewer gradations of categorized features (lower number of dimensions in the tensor axes) than the original tensor. The article proposes a method for ranking the gradations of categorized variables by the degree of cumulative influence of component loadings, based on the calculation of vector norms. The described approach to studying dependencies between multidimensional categorized variables is demonstrated using a three-dimensional tensor with the shape (4;10;10) and categorized features: nosology group, field of activity, and group of professionally significant qualities. The algorithm for analyzing multidimensional categorized data using multidimensional component analysis, discussed in this article, is intended to be incorporated as an analytical tool into the regional information and analytical portal "PERSPEKTIVA-PRO." This tool can be used to develop a digital support trajectory for people with disabilities and special needs, taking into account their personal and variable characteristics.
Discrete Mathematics in Relation to Computer Science
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) models can fully or partially automate the assessment of student assignments, making assessment methods more accurate and objective. The performance of such models depends not only on the underlying algorithms and training data but also on the effectiveness of the queries they formulate. The aim of the work is to investigate the possibility of using open artificial intelligence models to evaluate students' answers for compliance with the teacher's standard answer, as well as to increase the quality of problem solving using prompt engineering. The method for determining this quality was selected by statistical characteristics of the results of classifying answer texts into four categories: correct, partially correct, incorrect, inappropriate to the topic of the question, by GAI models using the following prompt options: simple prompt, role-playing prompt, "chain of thoughts" prompt, prompt generated by artificial intelligence. Models available for open use were selected for the study: ChatGPT o3-mini, DeepSeek V3, Mistral-Small-3.1-24B-Instruct-2503-IQ4_XS and Grok 3. Testing of the models was carried out on a corpus of student texts collected by teachers of Demidov Yaroslavl State University, from 507 answers to 8 questions. The best quality of answer assessment was shown by the ChatGPT o3-mini model. with the prompt it generated. The accuracy rate was 0.82, the mean square error (MSE) was 0.2, and the F-score reached 0.8, demonstrating the potential of GAI as not only an assessment tool but also a means of automatically generating instructions. The Fleiss coefficient was used to assess the consistency of the model's responses across 10 identical queries. For this model-prompt pair, it ranged from 0.48 for complex questions to 0.69 for simple questions.
