Researchers from the AI and Digital Science Institute at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science and the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics at the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences have developed RLABC (Reinforcement Learning for Accelerator Beamline Control), a framework that uses reinforcement learning to identify optimal settings for a particle accelerator. In a computer simulation, RLABC optimised the accelerator's parameters to achieve a particle transmission rate of 70%. The study has been published in Computer Physics Communications.
The Laboratory of Molecular Physiology at the HSE Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology investigates how molecular regulators known as microRNAs control gene expression and contribute to the development of diseases, including cancer, viral and inflammatory conditions, and pregnancy complications. At HSE University, researchers develop organ-on-a-chip models: miniature devices containing living cells that mimic the functions of human organs, such as the placenta and intestines. These models help researchers understand how diseases develop and how drugs affect them. HSE News Service spoke with Evgeny Knyazev, Head of the Laboratory.
Researchers at HSE MIEM have shown that widely used simulators of vehicle-to-vehicle communication significantly overestimate its reliability because they assume flat terrain. When terrain features, bridges, and tunnels are taken into account, the outage rate on a mountain serpentine road rises from 21% to 30%, on an overpass from 20% to 33%, and in a tunnel from 0% to 80%. The results have been published in Future Transportation.

Two tendencies define one of the “master-currents” (Ch. Innes) in the XXth century drama, epitomized by Antonin Artaud’s “theatre of cruelty”: revival of ritual practices and search for a “new myth”. Artaud perceives the Myth both as the end and the means: by creating a new myth, theatre reveals and heals illnesses of modernity; by ...
Modern social sciences have developed a new concept of communicative, and not
representational, mimesis, in which not two objects (the original and the copy) are
involved, but two subjects (the imitated and the imitator), transmitting psychological
affects to each other. This article discusses some episodes of the history of
that concept: the aesthetic theories of Leo Tolstoy (What is ...
