 At the beginning of November Moscow authorities announced plans to launch a MaaS-platform (Mobility-as-a-Service, “mobility as a service”) in the city; it will combine all city and several private transport services. By the end of 2021, the concept of multimodality will be implemented, which means that types of transport will be combined in a single digital space, and routes and fares will be personalised for users.

 
 This ambition of Moscow corresponds to the global trend in the field of transport - gradual implementation of MaaS concept in the city. To understand the current state of things and the prospects for the development and application of MaaS in the world, ICT.Moscow studied the experience of the development of this concept by megacities of the world, and also discussed its key features and barriers with experts.

The integrator of solutions based on artificial intelligence <a target="_blank" href="https://ict.moscow/en/card/marketplace-cleverbots/">Cleverbots</a> has raised $1 million from the AST Group of companies, one of the Russian agroindustrial conglomerates.

 
 Cleverbots plans to use the funds received to scale the business and further develop it in the Russian and international markets. 

 
 According to the director of strategy of the company, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/adam.turaev.3" style="background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);">Adam Turaev</a>, offices in Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates, where AST has already opened its offices, can become launching sites.

 
 In addition, the startup intends to expand the development team fivefold and the sales team threefold. Participation in government tenders and development of its own product solutions will also become key areas of the company's development.

Machine learning developers explain how LO-shot can revolutionize the field

Longread: will LO-shot revolutionize machine learning?

Geropharm and Cleverbots launched a widget for testing children speech defects using artificial intelligence.<a target="_blank"></a><a target="_blank"></a>

 
 To implement the
project, a machine learning model that analyzes recorded speech in the form of
audio files and identifies pronunciation defects in children, was used. This allows to hold initial consultation and make diagnosis. The Spectrogram widget looks like a test
in a chatbot that can record audio files, and
the child is tested in the form of games.<a target="_blank"></a><a target="_blank"></a>

 
 Currently the
neural network automatically determines the probability that there
is a speech defect in the audio recording and presents the corresponding information to the speech therapist
in the administrator panel to speed up the process of checking the audio
recordings.<a target="_blank"></a><a target="_blank"></a>

 
 Several hundred
testing questionnaires have already been collected with the help of the widget, and the accuracy of speech defects
recognition is more than 80% for high-quality audio. In the future, the plans include a complete transition from the human-in-the-loop
model, where a person’s participation in diagnostics is necessary, to the complete automation of the process with the help of a retrained model.<a target="_blank"></a><a target="_blank"></a>
