Context-Aware Semantic Fusion for Mathematical Formula Equivalence Detection

By Andrii Dyriv Olga Lozynska Victoria Vysotska Dmytro Uhryn Yuriy Ushenko

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijem.2026.04.06, Pub. Date: 8 Aug. 2026

 The paper investigates the problem of automatically detecting equivalent mathematical formulas in scientific texts. The authors propose a novel hybrid approach that combines structural analysis of formulas (normalisation, Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) construction, and vectorisation) with deep semantic analysis of the surrounding publication text using transformer models such as SciBERT and Sentence Transformers. During the study, a software implementation was developed that uses cosine similarity to assess context proximity and a Siamese neural network for equivalence classification. Evaluated on a custom dataset of 12,500 formula-context pairs from academic papers, the proposed hybrid model achieved an F1-score of 0.88, significantly outperforming baseline models that rely solely on structural (F1: 0.71) or textual (F1: 0.59) features. The experimental results were further visualised using heat maps, dendrograms, and UMAP projections, confirming the model's ability to identify equivalent expressions even when their syntactic notation differs significantly. The proposed framework is promising for use in anti-plagiarism systems, intelligent search services, and digital scientific libraries.

Modelling of an Intelligent Geographic Information System for Population Migration Forecasting

By Dmytro Uhryn Yuriy Ushenko Vasyl Lytvyn Zhengbing Hu Olga Lozynska Victor Ilin Artur Hostiuk

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijmecs.2023.04.06, Pub. Date: 8 Aug. 2023

A generalized model of population migration is proposed. On its basis, models of the set of directions of population flows, the duration of migration, which is determined by its nature in time, type and form of migration, are developed. The model of indicators of actual migration (resettlement) is developed and their groups are divided. The results of population migration are described, characterized by a number of absolute and relative indicators for the purpose of regression analysis of data. To obtain the results of migration, the author takes into account the power of migration flows, which depend on the population of the territories between which the exchange takes place and on their location on the basis of the coefficients of the effectiveness of migration ties and the intensity of migration ties. The types of migration intensity coefficients depending on the properties are formed. The lightgbm algorithm for predicting population migration is implemented in the intelligent geographic information system. The migration forecasting system is also capable of predicting international migration or migration between different countries. The significance of conducting this survey lies in the increasing need for accurate and reliable migration forecasts. With globalization and the connectivity of nations, understanding and predicting migration patterns have become crucial for various domains, including social planning, resource allocation, and economic development. Through extensive experimentation and evaluation, developed migration forecasting system has demonstrated results of human migration based on machine learning algorithms. Performance metrics of migration flow forecasting models are investigated, which made it possible to present the results obtained from the evaluation of these models using various performance indicators, including the mean square error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE) and R-squared (R2). The MSE and RMSE measure the root mean square difference between predicted and actual values, while the R2 represents the proportion of variance explained by the model.

Information Technologies for Decision Support in Industry-Specific Geographic Information Systems based on Swarm Intelligence

By Vasyl Lytvyn Olga Lozynska Dmytro Uhryn Myroslava Vovk Yuriy Ushenko Zhengbing Hu

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijmecs.2023.02.06, Pub. Date: 8 Apr. 2023

A method of choosing swarm optimization algorithms and using swarm intelligence for solving a certain class of optimization tasks in industry-specific geographic information systems was developed considering the stationarity characteristic of such systems. The method consists of 8 stages. Classes of swarm algorithms were studied. It is shown which classes of swarm algorithms should be used depending on the stationarity, quasi-stationarity or dynamics of the task solved by an industry geographic information system. An information model of geodata that consists in a formalized combination of their spatial and attributive components, which allows considering the relational, semantic and frame models of knowledge representation of the attributive component, was developed. A method of choosing optimization methods designed to work as part of a decision support system within an industry-specific geographic information system was developed. It includes conceptual information modeling, optimization criteria selection, and objective function analysis and modeling. This method allows choosing the most suitable swarm optimization method (or a set of methods).
