Biologists Discover 'Molecular Fingerprint' of Preeclampsia
Researchers at HSE University employed a new method to model hypoxia in placental cells during pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia and identified molecular markers of tissue hypoxia. Since hypoxia is one of the key mechanisms underlying preeclampsia, these findings are important for a more accurate and timely diagnosis of the disease and for the development of effective treatment methods. The paper has been published in Placenta.

‘Speech, Facial Expressions, and Gestures Cannot Lie
Would you like to know whether a speaker’s trembling voice or an accidental gesture can give them away? At HSE University in Nizhny Novgorod, researchers are developing an algorithm that analyses speech, facial expressions, and gestures, and determines whether information is truthful with 92% accuracy. The project has applications ranging from forensic examination and bank recruitment to fundamental research. Anna Khomenko, head of the research group and Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Language and Brain at the HSE Faculty of Humanities in Nizhny Novgorod, explains how students and researchers are working together to create a corpus of video recordings, train a classifier, and prepare to introduce computer vision technology.

Gaussian processes with multidimensional distribution inputs via optimal transport and Hilbertian embedding

Electronic journal of statistics. 2020. Vol. 14. No. 2. P. 2742–2772.
Bachoc F., Suvorikova A., Ginsbourger D., Loubes J., Spokoiny V.

In this work, we propose a way to construct Gaussian processes indexed by multidimensional distributions. More precisely, we tackle the problem of defining positive definite kernels between multivariate distributions via notions of optimal transport and appealing to Hilbert space embeddings. Besides presenting a characterization of radial positive definite and strictly positive definite kernels on general Hilbert spaces, we investigate the statistical properties of our theoretical and empirical kernels, focusing in particular on consistency as well as the special case of Gaussian distributions. A wide set of applications is presented, both using simulations and implementation with real data.

Зуенко Д. О., Trofimova E., Хайдарова И., IEEE Access 2026 Vol. 14 P. 121339–121357
Oil spill segmentation in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images is limited by noisy annotations in publicly available datasets and by architectural choices that interact with label quality in opposing directions. First, we introduce a manually refined version of the Deep-SAR Oil Spill (SOS) dataset, in which 36.25% of masks are corrected for false positives, missed ...

Scalable machine learning approach to disordered s-wave superconductors
Неверов В. Д., Красавин А. В., Vagov A. et al., Physical Review B: Condensed Matter and Materials Physics 2026 Vol. 113 P. 1–6
We develop a neural network approach to solve the self-consistent Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations in strongly disordered s-wave superconductors. The method accurately reproduces inhomogeneous gap distributions and generalizes to system sizes far larger than those used in training. It reduces computational scaling from O(N6 ) to O(N2), enabling quantitative analysis of percolation phenomena and the superconductor-insulator ...

On the rate of Gaussian approximation for online linear regression problems
Sheshukova M., Durmus A., Khusainov M. et al., Statistics 2026 P. 1–25
In this paper, we consider the problem of Gaussian approximation for the online linear regression task. We derive the corresponding rates for the setting of a constant stepsize and study the explicit dependence of the convergence rate on the problem dimension d and quantities related to the design matrix. When the number of iterations n is known in advance, ...

Изучаются законы взаимности, связанные с комплексными линейными расслоениями на расслоениях на ориентируемые окружности. В частности, доказывается следующий закон взаимности. Пусть B – комплексное многообразие и πi:Mi→B – расслоение на ориентируемые окружности, где индекс i пробегает конечное множество. Пусть Li и Ni – комплексные линейные расслоения на каждом многообразии Mi. Закон взаимности утверждает, что сумма всех элементов (πi)∗(c1(Li)∪c1(Ni)), где (πi)∗ – ...

A unified frequency-domain framework for tilted slice localization and ischemic stroke detection
Khodadoust J., Kulikova S., Khodadoust F., Biomedical Signal Processing and Control 2027 Vol. 129 P. 111284–111284
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) analysis from two-dimensional (2D) clinical imaging is hindered by uncontrolled slice tilt and geometric inconsistencies that violate the assumptions of pose-agnostic deep learning (DL) models. This paper proposes a unified geometry-aware, frequency-domain framework for tilted slice localization and ischemic stroke segmentation that explicitly decouples pose estimation from lesion analysis. The method ...

Non-axiomatizability of modal predicate logics of Dedekind-complete linear orders with constant domains
Rybakov M., Shkatov D., Journal of Logic and Computation 2026 Vol. 36 No. 6 Article exag026
We prove Pi-1-1-hardness, and thus lack of recursive axiomatizability, of constant-domain modal predicate logics defined by a class of Dedekind complete linear Kripke frames containing a frame with an infinitely increasing chain of worlds. The result holds even for the language with one unary predicate letter, one propositional letter, and two individual variables. ...

Semi-Interlaced Polytopes
Селянин Ф. И., Moscow Mathematical Journal 2026 Vol. 26 No. 2 P. 167–187
Minkowski mixed volume of n subpolytopes D1,…,Dn of a polytope P⊂Rn clearly does not exceed the normalized volume n!Vol(P). Equality holds if and only if the subpolytopes are interlaced, i.e., each proper face F⊊P intersects at least dim(F)+1 of the polytopes Di. Efficiently computing mixed volumes for more general collections of subpolytopes is crucial for estimating the complexity of numerically solving polynomial systems. Motivated by relaxing the bound dim(F)+1 to dim(F), we ...

Global Optimisation of Black-Box Functions with Generative Models in the Wasserstein Space
Ramazyan T., Hushchyn M., Derkach D., , in: ECAI 2024. 27th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence, October 19 – 24 October 2024, Santiago de Compostela, Spain – Including 13th Conference on Prestigious Applications of Intelligent Systems (PAIS 2024).: IOS Press, 2024. P. 2394–2401.
We propose a new uncertainty estimator for gradient-free optimisation of black-box simulators using deep generative surrogate models. Optimisation of these simulators is especially challenging for stochastic simulators and higher dimensions. To address these issues, we utilise a deep generative surrogate approach to model the black box response for the entire parameter space. We then leverage ...

Machine learning models play a vital role in time series forecasting. These models, however, often overlook an important element: point uncertainty estimates. Incorporating these estimates is crucial for effective risk management, informed model selection, and decision-making.To address this issue, our research introduces a method for uncertainty estimation. We employ a surrogate Gaussian process regression model. ...

Kantorovich–Rubinstein–Wasserstein distance between overlapping attractor and repeller
Chigarev V., Kazakov A., Пиковский А., Chaos 2020 Vol. 30 No. 7 Article 073114
We consider several examples of dynamical systems demonstrating overlapping attractor and repeller. These systems are constructed via introducing controllable dissipation to prototypic models with chaotic dynamics (Anosov cat map, Chirikov standard map, and incompressible three-dimensional flow of the ABC-type on a three-torus) and ergodic non-chaotic behavior (skew-shift map). We employ the Kantorovich–Rubinstein–Wasserstein distance to characterize the ...

High extremes of Gaussian chaos processes: a discrete time approximation approach
A. I. Zhdanov, V. I. Piterbarg, Theory Probability and its Applications 2018 Vol. 63 No. 1 P. 1–21
Let $\mathbf{\boldsymbol{\xi}}(t)=(\xi_{1}(t),\ldots,\xi_{d}(t))$ be a Gaussian zero mean stationary a.s. continuous vector process. Let $g\colon{\mathbb{R}}^{d}\to {\mathbb{R}}$ be a homogeneous function of positive degree. We study probabilities of high extrema of the Gaussian chaos process $g(\mathbf{\boldsymbol{\xi}}(t))$. Important examples are products of Gaussian processes, $\prod_{i=1}^{d}\xi_{i}(t)$, and quadratic forms $\sum_{i,j=1}^{d}a_{ij}\xi_{i}(t)\xi_{j}(t)$. Methods of our studies include the Laplace saddle point ...

Let $(X(t),Y(t))$, $t\ge0$, be a zero-mean stationary Gaussian vector process with a covariance functions for components $r_i(t)$ satisfying Pickand's condition $r_i(t)=1-c_i|t|^{\alpha_i}(1+o(1))$, $t\to 0$, $c_i>0$, $0<\alpha_i\le2$, $i=1,2.$ Let $r_i(t)<1$, $i=1,2$, $t>0.$ Assuming that $r\equiv {\bf E}\,X(t)Y(t)\in(-1,1)$ and $\lim_{t,s\rightarrow0}({\bf E}\,X(t)Y(s)-r)/|t-s|^{\min(\alpha_1,\alpha_2)}$ exists, we study the behavior of probability ${\bf P}(\max_{t\in\lbrack0,p]}X(t)Y(t)>u)$ as $u\rightarrow\infty$ for any $p$.

We develop an automated variational inference method for Bayesian structured prediction problems with Gaussian process (GP) priors and linear-chain likelihoods. Our approach does not need to know the details of the structured likelihood model and can scale up to a large number of observations. Furthermore, we show that the required expected likelihood term and its ...
