Thematic magazines. Types of magazines and their typology

At the moment there are a huge number of magazine publications in the world. There are various classifications of magazines based on the following criteria: readership, geographic coverage, nature of information, publishing body, method of presenting information, thematic focus, purpose. The most important distinctive features are thematic focus, purpose and readership. Let's look at existing types of magazines based on these characteristics. In modern publishing practice, the following types of journals are distinguished:

Scientific - journals published by the scientific community for the exchange of scientific and technical information between scientists, contain publications about scientific discoveries and achievements. They have a narrow readership focus.

Popular science - magazines containing articles and materials about the fundamentals of science, theoretical and (or) experimental research in the field of science, culture and practical activity. Their functional purpose is to serve the dissemination of knowledge and self-education, to contribute to the formation of a scientific worldview and broaden the reader’s horizons, to popularize the achievements of science, technology, culture, and art. Unlike scientific journals, they publish materials of practical, entertaining, literary and artistic content, which once again emphasizes their wide readership.

Popular - magazines that publish various materials on issues of culture, sports, everyday life, leisure and are also aimed at a wide readership. Their topics cover a wide range of issues from various spheres of life and activity of society. They are very diverse in design methods, designed to be attractive and practical.

Socio-political is a magazine that publishes articles and materials on current socio-political topics, intended for a wide range of readers. It may include satirical and humorous works, as well as information of an industry and popular science nature. It has a broad target orientation and is designed for a diverse mass readership.

Literary and artistic magazine - the main place in it is occupied by works of fiction of various genres, as well as journalistic and critical articles and materials.

Special - magazines whose purpose is the dissemination of special, business information, as opposed to generally significant information (i.e., aimed at the general reader). They are intended for scientific communication among specialists in the interests of their professional activities.

The typology of periodicals is still under development and therefore does not have a clear interpretation. However, an analysis of the few works devoted to this problem creates approaches to its solution.

For example, in the textbook “Russian Mass Media System” the main type-forming features are: the nature of the audience, subject-thematic focus, purpose, release time, frequency.

Based on the nature of the audience, the following main types of publications are distinguished:

  • - international;
  • - all-Russian;
  • - interregional;
  • - territorial (regional, regional, city, district);
  • - ethnic communities;
  • - professional groups;
  • - age groups;
  • - for women and men;
  • - for believers.

By subject and thematic focus:

  • - universal;
  • - specialized.

By purpose:

  • - artistic;
  • - journalistic;
  • - entertaining;
  • - scientific;
  • - advertising;
  • - informational.

The textbook by S. Korkonosenko proposes the following division of periodicals:

  • - by region of distribution (transnational, national, regional, local press);
  • - by founder (state and non-state press);
  • - according to classroom characteristics (age, gender, professional, religious characteristics);
  • - according to publishing characteristics (frequency, circulation, format, volume);
  • - by legitimacy (from the point of view of having permission to publish);
  • - by content (quality and mass).

Dividing journal publications into types is necessary for constructing a clear work of publishing houses; it allows them to concentrate on any specific topic, provide higher quality material, more detailed and with more comments. The typology also helps readers to make it easier for readers to find the information they need in magazines, for example, when reading a popular magazine, the consumer will not come across scientific articles that are not interesting to him and vice versa.

The journal is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of AI workers in academic and industrial research.

FOCAL TOPICS OF COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Machine learning - including in particular symbolic multistrategy and cognitive learning. Multistrategy learning systems integrate two or more inference types and/or representational mechanisms. These systems take advantage of the strengths of individual learning strategies, and therefore can be applied to a wider range of problems. Human learning is clearly not limited to any single strategy, but can involve any type of strategy, or a combination of them, depending on the task at hand. Research on multistrategy learning is therefore key to understanding learning processes in general, to making progress in machine learning, as well as to extending the applicability of current machine learning methods to new practical domains.

Web intelligence and semantic web. Web intelligence is concerned with the application of AI to the next generation of web systems, services and resources. These include better search/retrieval algorithms, client side systems (e.g. more effective agents) and server side systems (e.g. effective ways to present material on web pages and throughout web sites, including adaptive websites and personalized interfaces).

The semantic web is an extension to the World Wide Web, in which web content is expressed in a form that is accessible to programs (software agents), following the vision of the web as universal medium for data, information and knowledge exchange.

Discovery science and knowledge mining. Discovery science (also known as discovery-based science) is a scientific methodology which emphasizes analysis of large volumes of experimental data or text data with the goal of finding new patterns or correlations, leading to hypothesis formation and other scientific methodologies. Tools of interest include: Data Mining: looking for associations or relationships in operational or transactional data; Text Mining and Information Extraction: looking for concepts and their associations or relationships in natural language text; Structured, semi-structured and unstructured text mining; Text Summarization: extracting terms and phrases from large text document collections that summarize their content; Web mining: Web structure, content and usage mining; Ontology Learning from Text and Data bases.

Agents and multiagent systems. Agents as a computational abstraction have replaced "objects," and have provided the necessary ingredients to move to societies of interacting intelligent entities, based on things like the belief-desire-intention (BDI) model of agent societies, market economies, e-commerce models and game theory. Such abstractions are dispersed throughout the scientific world, depending largely on applications. Multiagent systems (MAS) are systems in which many intelligent autonomous agents interact with each other. Agents can be either cooperative, pursuing a common goal, or selfish, going after their own interests. Architectures, interaction protocols and languages ​​must be developed for multiagent systems. Topics of interest include: Autonomy-oriented computing; Agent systems methodology and language; Agent-based simulation and modeling; Agent-based applications; Agent-based negotiation and autonomous auction; Distributed problem solving.

Modern knowledge-based systems. Knowledge-based systems aim to make expertise available for decision making, and information sharing, when and where needed. The next generation of such systems needs to tap into large knowledge bases of domain-specific knowledge, which combine machine learning and structured background knowledge representation, such as ontology, and causal representations and reasoning. Information sharing is concerned with creating collaborative knowledge environments for sharing and disseminating information.

Key application areas of AI. Entertainment and Gaming, Software Engineering, Business, Finance, Commerce and Economics, Knowledge-based and Personalized User Interfaces.

We aim to make the journal the focus of key application areas, where AI is making a significant impact, but lack a coherent publication venue. These include: Entertainment and Game Development, i.e. building game engines using AI techniques; Software Engineering, including program understanding, software repositories and reverse engineering; Business, Finance, Commerce and Economics: learning aggregate behaviors (e.g. stock market trends) or modeling individual and group demographics (e.g. web mining); Knowledge-based and Personalized User Interfaces, to make interaction clearer to the user and more efficient, with better support for the users" goals, and efficient presentation of complex information.
