Overview and investigate time complexity of computer vision algorithms for face recognition. Main article idea is to compare two popular computer vision librarieobjs, they are OpenCV and dlib, explore features, analyze pros and cons each of them and understand in what situation each of them suit the best.Method. The technologies of computer vision, which are used for face recognition was worked out. Research of two popular computer vision libraries was conducted. Their features are analyzed and the advantages and disadvantages of each of them are estimated. Examples of building recognition application based on histogramoriented gradients for face finding, face landmark estimation for face orientation, and deep convolutional neural network to compare with known faces. The article generalizes the concept of face recognition. The scientific basis for facial recognition and the construction of a complete recognition system was described. The basic principles of the programs for face recognition are formulated. A comparative analysis of the productivity of both libraries in relation to -the time of execution to the number of iterations of the applied algorithms was presented. Also built two simple applications for face recognition based on these libraries and comparing their performance.

The problem of effective intellectual analysis in the case of handling short datasets is topical in various application areas. Such problems arise in medicine, economics, materials science, science, etc. This paper deals with a new additive input-doubling method designed by the authors for processing short and very short datasets. The main steps of the method should include the procedure of data augmentation within the existing dataset both in rows and columns (without training), the use of nonlinear SVR to implement the training procedure, and the formation of the result based on the author’s procedure. The authors show that the developed data augmentation procedure corresponds to the principles of axial symmetry. The training and application procedures of the method developed are described in detail, and two algorithmic implementations are presented. The optimal parameters of the method operation were selected experimentally. The efficiency of its work during the processing of short datasets for solving the prediction task was established experimentally by comparison with other methods of this class. The highest prediction accuracy based on both proposed algorithmic implementations of a method among all of the investigated ones was defined. The main areas of application of the developed method are described, and its shortcomings and prospects of further research are given.

In connection with the significant complication of research objects of technological systems and the considerable increase in expenses for carrying out experimental research, improving the mathematical modeling methods of these systems is a current problem. By using the means of mathematical modeling and optimization, the calculation of the main technological parameters of the formation method of film hydrogel products based on silver-filled copolymers of 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate with polyvinylpyrrolidone was performed. The technological parameters of the polymerization processes, chemical reduction of silver ions, and centrifugal formation of the film cloth were substantiated. These are the components of the technological process, which occurs in one stage in the form of a centrifugal unit. By using the obtained results, silver-filled films were obtained, which are characterized by unique properties and can be used in the treatment of trophic ulcers of lower limbs.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a hybrid model Ukrainian language sentiment analyzer, which should improve the accuracy of the mood definition to expand the Ukrainian language among the instruments on the market. The object of research is the processes of determining the language of the text and predicting its sentiment score. The subject of the study is Ukrainian comments posted by Google Maps users. The following text categories are taken into account: food, hotels, museums, and shops. The new method was built as an ensemble of support vector machine, logistic regression, and XGBoost, in combination with a rule-based algorithm. The practical use of the algorithm makes it possible to analyze the Ukrainian text in accordance with the category with the visualization of the research results. The accuracy of the proposed method is bigger than 0.88 in the worst case. The mining procedure of the positive and negative sides of service providers based on users’ feedback is developed. It allows electronics business to make improvements based on frequent positive and negative words.

<abstract> <p>Starting from December 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has globally strained medical resources and caused significant mortality. It is commonly recognized that the severity of SARS-CoV-2 disease depends on both the comorbidity and the state of the patient's immune system, which is reflected in several biomarkers. The development of early diagnosis and disease severity prediction methods can reduce the burden on the health care system and increase the effectiveness of treatment and rehabilitation of patients with severe cases. This study aims to develop and validate an ensemble machine-learning model based on clinical and immunological features for severity risk assessment and post-COVID rehabilitation duration for SARS-CoV-2 patients. The dataset consisting of 35 features and 122 instances was collected from Lviv regional rehabilitation center. The dataset contains age, gender, weight, height, BMI, CAT, 6-minute walking test, pulse, external respiration function, oxygen saturation, and 15 immunological markers used to predict the relationship between disease duration and biomarkers using the machine learning approach. The predictions are assessed through an area under the receiver-operating curve, classification accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score performance metrics. A new hybrid ensemble feature selection model for a post-COVID prediction system is proposed as an automatic feature cut-off rank identifier. A three-layer high accuracy stacking ensemble classification model for intelligent analysis of short medical datasets is presented. Together with weak predictors, the associative rules allowed improving the classification quality. The proposed ensemble allows using a random forest model as an aggregator for weak repressors' results generalization. The performance of the three-layer stacking ensemble classification model (AUC 0.978; CA 0.920; F1 score 0.921; precision 0.924; recall 0.920) was higher than five machine learning models, viz. tree algorithm with forward pruning; Naïve Bayes classifier; support vector machine with RBF kernel; logistic regression, and a calibrated learner with sigmoid function and decision threshold optimization. Aging-related biomarkers, viz. CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD22+ were examined to predict post-COVID rehabilitation duration. The best accuracy was reached in the case of the support vector machine with the linear kernel (MAPE = 0.0787) and random forest classifier (RMSE = 1.822). The proposed three-layer stacking ensemble classification model predicted SARS-CoV-2 disease severity based on the cytokines and physiological biomarkers. The results point out that changes in studied biomarkers associated with the severity of the disease can be used to monitor the severity and forecast the rehabilitation duration.</p> </abstract>
