    INFORMATIONAL WARFARE – INFLUENCE ON INFORMATIONAL STRUCTURES
    The concept of information warfare encompasses the use of information and communication technologies to gain an advantage over a potential opponent. The information warfare is the manipulation with the information that trusts the goal, so that the goal should make decisions about its interests in the interests of opponents. Information structures are treated as systems that process different types of information, provide storage and access to users. Such structures may enclose neural networks, self-learning systems etc. They need to be ready to learn, respond to threats and ensure their safety, which is topical in today's information warfare. This paper will address aspects related to the security of information systems from a system theory point of view. The knowledge base of information structures can be elements of artificial intelligence, which security must be protected against various threats. The authors considers artificial neural networks to be one of the potential threats in the context of information warfare.

    EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHMS LEARNING METHODS IN STUDENT EDUCATION
    Teaching experience shows that during educational process student perceive graphical information better than analytical relationships. As a possible solution, there could be the use of package Matlab in realization of different algorithms for IT studies. Students are very interested in modern data mining methods, such as artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, clustering and evolution methods. Series of research were carried out in order to demonstrate the suitability of the Matlab for the purpose of visualization of various simulation models of some data mining disciplines – particularly genetic algorithms. Nowadays the possibilities of evolutionary algorithms are widely used in many optimization and classification tasks. There are four paradigms in the world of evolutionary algorithms: evolutionary programming, evolution strategies, genetic algorithms and genetic programming. This paper analyses present-day approaches of genetic algorithms and genetic programming and examines the possibilities of genetic programming that will be used in further research. Genetic algorithm learning methods are often undeservedly forgotten, although the implementation of their algorithms is relatively strong and can be implemented even for students. In the research part of the study the modelling capabilities in data mining studies were demonstrated based on genetic algorithms and real examples. We assume that students already have prior knowledge of genetic algorithms.

    LATVIAN SIGN LANGUAGE RECOGNITION CLASSIFICATION POSSIBILITIES
    There is a lack of automated sign language recognition system in Latvia while many other countries have been already equipped with such a system. Latvian deaf society requires support of such a system which would allow people with special needs to enhance their communication in governmental and public places. The aim of this paper is to recognize Latvian sign language alphabet using classification approach with artificial neural networks, which is a first step in developing integral system of Latvian Sign Language recognition. Communication in our daily life is generally vocal, but body language has its own significance. It has many areas of application like sign languages are used for various purposes and in case of people who are deaf and dumb, sign language plays an important role. Gestures are the very first form of communication. The paper presents Sign Language Recognition possibilities with centre of gravity method. So this area influenced us very much to carry on the further work related to hand gesture classification and sign’s clustering.

    The Influence of Hidden Neurons Factor on Neural Nework Training Quality Assurance
    The work shows the role of hidden neurons in the multilayer feed-forward neural networks. The numeric expression of hidden neurons is usually determined in each case empirically. The methodology for determining the number of hidden neurons are described. The neural network based approach is analyzed using a multilayer feed-forward network with backpropagation learning algorithm. We have presented neural network implementation possibility in bankruptcy prediction (the experiments have been performed in the Matlab environment). On the base of bankruptcy data analysis the effect of hidden neurons to specific neural network training quality is shown. The conformity of theoretical hidden neurons to practical solutions was carried out.

    SAFETY OF ARTIFICIAL SUPERINTELLIGENCE
    The paper analyses an important problem of cyber security from human safety perspective which is usually described as data and/or computer safety itself without mentioning the human. There are numerous scientific predictions of creation of artificial superintelligence, which could arise in the near future. That is why the strong necessity for protection of such a system from causing any farm arises. This paper reviews approaches and methods already presented for solving this problem in a single article, analyses its results and provides future research directions.

    DATA MINING TEACHING POSSIBILITIES USING MATLAB
    The teaching experience in the study process shows that students are better at perceiving graphical information rather than analytical relationships. Many training courses run on models that were previously available only in mathematics or physics. The use of Matlab package for the implementation of various algorithms in the Information Technology fields could be a possible solution. Often, the analytical solution is much simpler than the visual Matlab model, but for the purposes of perspective training it gives understanding of the usefulness of using such models. In the previous articles the authors had given examples of how Matlab's possibilities could be used for economic research purposes (optimal tax rate searching and modelling market equilibrium price). Students are very interested in modern data mining methods, such as artificial neural networks. In the research part of the study, the modelling capabilities in data mining studies are demonstrated by neural network examples.

    Artificial Neural Networks and Human Brain: Survey of Improvement Possibilities of Learning
    There are numerous applications of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) at the present time and there are different learning algorithms, topologies, hybrid methods etc. It is strongly believed that ANN is built using human brain’s functioning principles but still ANN is very primitive and tricky way for real problem solving. In the recent years modern neurophysiology advanced to a big extent in understanding human brain functions and structure, however, there is a lack of this knowledge application to real ANN learning algorithms. Each learning algorithm and each network topology should be carefully developed to solve more or less complex problem in real life. One may say that almost each serious application requires its own network topology, algorithm and data pre-processing. This article presents a survey of several ways to improve ANN learning possibilities according to human brain structure and functioning, especially one example of this concept – neuroplasticity – automatic adaptation of ANN topology to problem domain.
