The RUDN University Faculty of Artificial Intelligence has developed a "Smart Report" system to automate data processing.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The RUDN University Faculty of Artificial Intelligence (FAI) laboratory has developed an intelligent system called "Smart Report." The project combines advanced natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning technologies to automate document and database management.

Smart Report can understand queries in plain English, extract key information from massive documents, and instantly transform it into visual graphs and charts. The system doesn't just search for data; it understands the context, ensuring visualizations are as relevant as possible to the user's query.

The development's application areas cover key areas of the digital economy:

Full automation of corporate reporting; in-depth business analytics without the need for programmers; intelligent processing of large volumes of text; dynamic visualization of complex data.

An international team of researchers led by Anton Aleksandrovich Poddubsky, Dean of the Faculty of Artificial Intelligence, worked on the project.

The authors' team:

Anton Aleksandrovich Poddubskiy, Dean of the Faculty of Artificial Intelligence, Candidate of Technical Sciences; Naim Rezaian, Head of the Laboratory of the Faculty of Artificial Intelligence; Nikita Grechannikov, second-year undergraduate student (major in Fundamental Informatics and Information Technology); Arseniy Knyazev, second-year undergraduate student (major in Fundamental Informatics and Information Technology); Evgeny Rozhdestvensky, first-year master's student (major in Data Management and Artificial Intelligence).

The results of the research have already received official confirmation: the development team has obtained a state registration certificate for the computer program. This not only protects the university's intellectual property but also confirms the innovative nature of the development. The Dean of the Faculty of Information Sciences emphasized the project's importance for the university's development.

"At RUDN University, we always focus on interdisciplinary research and the practical application of it. 'Smart Report' was born at the intersection of linguistics, data analysis, and programming. Our goal is to blur the line between humans and complex databases, making analytics accessible to everyone. It's especially valuable that our team includes not only experienced researchers but also students," says Anton Poddubsky.

Nikita Grechannikov, a second-year undergraduate student and one of the system's developers, shared his impressions of participating in the project.

"Working on 'Smart Report' was my first experience participating in such a serious research project. It's amazing to realize that after just a year and a half of training, you can already apply the knowledge you've gained to creating a truly functional product, one that's even state-registered. This wasn't just a learning exercise—we were solving a real-world problem of human-machine interaction," says Nikita Grechannikov.

Summary: Vladimir Putin called the attack on the Russian gas tanker terrorist, Russia reserves the right to take political and diplomatic measures

Moscow, March 5 (Xinhua) — Russian President Vladimir Putin called the attack on the Russian gas carrier Arctic Metagaz in the Mediterranean Sea a terrorist attack. The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that the country reserves the right to take political and diplomatic measures in connection with the incident.

"This is a terrorist attack. This isn't the first time we've encountered something like this," Vladimir Putin said in an interview with Vesti correspondent Pavel Zarubin.

Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Transport reported that a Russian gas carrier was attacked the previous day in the Mediterranean Sea by unmanned Ukrainian boats in close proximity to Maltese territorial waters.

"The only thing that surprises me is that this is worsening the situation on global energy markets, including gas markets, and in this case, especially for Europe," Putin said. He added that Kyiv is biting Europe's hand with such actions. "The European Union provides the Kyiv regime with endless aid, both weapons and money, while the Kyiv regime creates one problem after another for the EU," he emphasized.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated that Russia reserves the right to take political and diplomatic measures in connection with the incident, including in the context of the threat to international peace and security.

"Such actions, if confirmed, constitute an act of terrorism, a flagrant violation of international law, and pose a direct threat to shipping safety. Since this involved a gas carrier carrying cargo, the consequences of an attack on it would also entail colossal damage to the environment," she emphasized.

It was previously reported that a Russian gas tanker was attacked in the Mediterranean Sea by unmanned Ukrainian boats off the coast of Libya. The attack occurred in close proximity to the territorial waters of the European Union member state of Malta. According to the Ministry of Transport, the tanker was carrying cargo, cleared in accordance with all international regulations, from the port of Murmansk. The Ministry of Transport called the attack an act of international terrorism and piracy. According to the ministry, two sailors out of the 30-member crew were injured.

During the interview, Vladimir Putin also stated that Russian intelligence agencies have information that Kiev is preparing to blow up the Black Sea gas pipelines with the support of Western intelligence agencies. "According to information available to our intelligence agencies, just as Nord Stream was once blown up, Kyiv is now preparing to blow up Blue Stream and Turkish Stream with the support of certain Western intelligence agencies. We have already informed our Turkish friends about this matter," the president said.
