When Pictures Hinder Understanding: Illustrations May Impede Learning of Abstract Ideas
Illustrations can help remember specific actions but do not always make abstract ideas easier to learn. Researchers from HSE University and Humboldt University compared how people learn from texts with different levels of abstractness. They found that participants remembered illustrations better and performed better on related tasks after reading a multimedia text about yoga asanas than after reading an abstract text about the Nash equilibrium. The findings could help improve the selection of illustrations for educational and informational materials. The study has been published in Learning and Instruction.

'I Wish That People Would Place Greater Trust in Science'
When Tatiana Eremicheva chose Fundamental and Computational Linguistics as her field of study, she thought it would be about learning languages. Instead, she discovered it was about helping people. In this interview for the HSE Young Scientists project, she discusses science as a way of understanding the world, billiards as a team-building activity, and why learning to read is not always as easy as it seems.

Immunity to Chaos: How Personal Resources Help Us Cope with the Challenges of a Turbulent World
International conflicts, crises and digital overload—the modern world puts our minds to the test every day. Traditional psychology often focuses on the consequences: anxiety, depression, and psychosomatic disorders. But what if we looked at the problem differently—through the lens of the resources that prevent us from breaking down? Psychological immunity is precisely this set of resources. Alena Zolotareva and her group, Psychological Immunity as a Resource for Positive Functioning, are developing an integrative model of this phenomenon, adapting diagnostic tools and preparing for large-scale empirical research. Why do psychologists need to collaborate with medical professionals, and how could their research transform preventive care in clinics and corporations?

Language Exercise Generation: Emulating Cambridge Open Cloze

International Journal of Conceptual Structures and Smart Applications (IJCSSA). 2014. Vol. 2. No. 2. P. 20–35.
Malafeev A.

This article presents an approach to the automatic generation of open cloze exercises based on arbitrary English text. The exercise format is similar to the open cloze test used in Cambridge English certificate exams (FCE, CAE, CPE). The presented method also makes it possible to adjust the difficulty of the resulting exercises to better suit specific proficiency levels. Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the usefulness of the machine-generated exercises, compare them with authentic Cambridge English tests and study the difficulty-setting capabilities. The experiments showed that the generation method used was quite effective. With some customization, the method can be applied to generating similar exercises for other languages.

Improvement in Microbial Classification Quality Using Synthetic Microscopic Images Generated by Large Visual-Language Models
Aleksei Samarin, Alexander Savelev, Aleksei Toropov et al., Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis 2026 Vol. 36 No. 2 P. 302–312
The lack of annotated microscopic datasets remains a major obstacle to training robust deep learning models for microbial classification. In this paper, a novel data augmentation pipeline that uses visual–linguistic large-scale models to generate synthetic microscopic images of six different bacterial and nonbacterial classes has been proposed. Synthetic samples have gradually been added to the ...

Flow-Guided Neural Pruning: Signal-Flow Framework for Multi-Architecture Model Compression
Aleksei Samarin, Nazarenko A., Kotenko E. et al., Machine Learning and Knowledge Extraction 2026 Vol. 8 No. 8 P. 1–26
This paper presents a novel method for pruning deep neural networks based on the concept of flow, derived from the continuous modeling of signal propagation across layers. We derive flow functions for fully connected, convolutional, and self-attention architectures, and we propose a new iterative pruning algorithm, Iterative Flow-Aware Pruning (IFAP), that leverages these measures to ...

FROM LECTURER TO CHATBOT: EVALUATING A HYBRID TEACHING MODEL
Ravedovskaya U., Didenko A., Journal of Teaching English for Specific and Academic Purposes 2025 Vol. 13 No. 3 P. 529–538
Emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is revolutionizing teaching and evaluation in higher education. Early adopters have already demonstrated how large language model (LLM) conversational agents can serve as on-demand tutors, yet empirical evidence regarding their effectiveness in facilitating conceptual learning in non-computational domains is scant. Based on constructivist learning theory, this paper presents a ...

Concrete images, diverse ideas: The role of pictures in learning from multimedia texts of varying abstractness
Blinova E., Sherbakova O., Learning and Instruction 2026 Vol. 106 Article 102432
Abstract Background Knowledge abstractness is one of the factors affecting learning outcomes, particularly in learning from multimedia texts. However, most previous studies on multimedia learning have focused on manipulating pictorial abstractness, while the role of text topic abstractness remains largely unexplored. Aims 1. Examine how topic abstractness influences multimedia learning outcomes when pictorial abstractness remains constant. 2. Investigate how ...

Shabanov N., Kuricheva O., Kurbatova J. et al., / Series Working Papers SSRN "Department of Economics Ca’ Foscari University of Venice". 2026.
The carbon balance of an ecosystem is the difference between Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (Reco) as expressed by Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE). While remote sensing retrievals of GPP have reached maturity, Reco estimation remains underexplored and ultimately cast bias on NEE. Here we present an end-to-end multi-scale analysis of the mechanism of ...

Three Algorithms for Merging Hierarchical Navigable Small World Graphs
Ponomarenko A., / Series Computer Science "arxiv.org". 2025.
This paper addresses the challenge of merging hierarchical navigable small world (HNSW) graphs, a critical operation for distributed systems, incremental indexing, and database compaction. We propose three algorithms for this task: Naive Graph Merge (NGM), Intra Graph Traversal Merge (IGTM), and Cross Graph Traversal Merge (CGTM). These algorithms differ in their approach to vertex selection ...

A noncommutative projective variety is defined, following Artin and Zhang, by a graded coherent algebra 𝐴. The category of coherent sheaves is then the quotient qgr(𝐴) of the category of finitely presented graded modules by the subcategory of torsion modules. We consider the categorical and polynomial entropies of the Serre twist, that is, of the ...
