Credit risk evaluation modeling using evolutionary linear SVM classifiers and sliding window approach
AbstractThis paper presents a study on credit risk evaluation modeling using linear Support Vector Machines (SVM) classifiers, combined with evolutionary parameter selection using Genetic Algorithms and Particle Swarm Optimization, and sliding window approach. Discriminant analysis was applied for evaluation of financial instances and dynamic formation of bankruptcy classes. The possibilities of feature selection application were also researched by applying correlation-based feature subset evaluator. The research demonstrates a possibility to develop and apply an intelligent classifier based on original discriminant analysis method evaluation and shows that it might perform bankruptcy identification better than original model
Visual analysis of self-organizing maps
In the article, an additional visualization of self-organizing maps (SOM) has been investigated. The main objective of self-organizing maps is data clustering and their graphical presentation. Opportunities of SOM visualization in four systems (NeNet, SOM-Toolbox, Databionic ESOM and Viscovery SOMine) have been investigated. Each system has its additional tools for visualizing SOM. A comparative analysis has been made for two data sets: Fisherâs iris data set and the economic indices of the European Union countries. A new SOM system is also introduced and researched. The system has a specific visualization tool. It is missing in other SOM systems. It helps to see the proportion of neurons, corresponding to the data items, belonging to the different classes, and fallen in the same SOM cell
Globalistics and globalization studies big history and global history
This yearbook is the fourth in the series with the title Globalistics and Globalization Studies.
The subtitle of the present volume is Global History & Big History. The point is that today our
global world really demands global knowledge. Thus, there are a few actively developing
multidisciplinary approaches and integral disciplines among which one can name Global Studies,
Global History and Big History. They all provide a connection between the past, present, and
future. Big History with its vast and extremely heterogeneous field of research encompasses all
the forms of existence and all timescales and brings together constantly updated information from
the scientific disciplines and the humanities. Global History is transnational or world history
which examines history from a global perspective, making a wide use of comparative history and
of the history of multiple cultures and nations. Global Studies express the view of systemic
and epistemological unity of global processes. Thus, one may argue that Global Studies and
Globalistics can well be combined with Global History and Big History and such a multidisciplinary
approach can open wide horizons for the modern university education as it helps to
form a global view of various processes

The Democratization of Artificial Intelligence: Net Politics in the Era of Learning Algorithms
After a long time of neglect, Artificial Intelligence is once again at the center of most of our political, economic, and socio-cultural debates. Recent advances in the field of Artifical Neural Networks have led to a renaissance of dystopian and utopian speculations on an AI-rendered future. Algorithmic technologies are deployed for identifying potential terrorists through vast surveillance networks, for producing sentencing guidelines and recidivism risk profiles in criminal justice systems, for demographic and psychographic targeting of bodies for advertising or propaganda, and more generally for automating the analysis of language, text, and images. Against this background, the aim of this book is to discuss the heterogenous conditions, implications, and effects of modern AI and Internet technologies in terms of their political dimension: What does it mean to critically investigate efforts of net politics in the age of machine learning algorithms

Evolution: From Big Bang to Nanorobots
The present volume is the fourth issue of the Yearbook series entitled âEvolutionâ.
The title of the present volume is âFrom Big Bang to Nanorobotsâ. In this way we demonstrate
that all phases of evolution and Big History are covered in the articles of the present
Yearbook. Several articles also present the forecasts about future development.
The main objective of our Yearbook as well as of the previous issues is the creation
of a unified interdisciplinary field of research in which the scientists specializing in different
disciplines could work within the framework of unified or similar paradigms, using the
common terminology and searching for common rules, tendencies and regularities. At the
same time for the formation of such an integrated field one should use all available opportunities:
theories, laws and methods. In the present volume, a number of such approaches
are used
