HSE Economists Use Search Queries to Forecast Birth Rates
Researchers from the HSE Faculty of Economic Sciences have shown that the accuracy of birth rate forecasts for Russia can be improved by almost 50% by incorporating the dynamics of online search queries related to pregnancy and childbirth into forecasting models. In the best-performing models, the forecasting error fell from 4.6% to 3.2%. The findings have been published in Populations and Economics.

HSE Researchers Discover Who Eats Out in Russia-And Why
Around one-third of Russians (31.3%) rarely eat out or buy ready-made meals. The core group of active consumers—those who eat out or purchase prepared food almost every day or several times a week—accounts for only about 9% of the population. These are the findings of a study conducted by the HSE Institute for Social Policy. According to the researchers eating out is no longer a marker of high social status in Russia.

Robust PLSA Performs Better Than LDA

P. 784–787.
Anna Potapenko, Konstantin Vorontsov

In this paper we introduce a generalized learning algorithm for probabilistic topic models (PTM). Many known and new algorithms for PLSA, LDA, and SWB models can be obtained as its special cases by choosing a subset of the following “options”: regularization, sampling, update frequency, sparsing and robustness. We show that a robust topic model, which distinguishes specific, background and topic terms, doesn’t need Dirichlet regularization and provides controllably sparse solution.

Screen-Cam Imitation Module for Improving Data Hiding Robustness
Dzhanashia K., Aleksandr Fedosov, Oleg Evsutin, Sensors 2025 Vol. 25 No. 23 Article 7726
Using an attack-simulation module is a well-recognized approach to improving the robustness of end-to-end neural-network-based data-hiding schemes. However, most proposed attack simulators are limited in the types of attacks they cover, usually handling only a basic set of digital transformations. Real, in-demand use cases for data-hiding methods may involve modifications that cannot be modeled by ...

As small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) strive for expansion beyond their domestic borders, the appeal of international markets is undoubtedly attractive. However, there are often numerous obstacles to this journey, which can be complex for companies without experience in international expansion. This article aims to fill the existing gap in the literature by thoroughly analyzing ...

Dynamic Robustification of Trading Management Strategies for Unstable Immersion Environments
Musaev A., Makshanov A., Dmitry Grigoriev, Montenegrin Journal of Economics 2023 Vol. 19 No. 1 P. 19–30
The paper considers the problem of constructing channel management strategies for market chaos conditions. The nature of dynamic chaos violates the probabilistic-statistical paradigm's fundamental principle of experiment repeatability. Under these conditions, the traditional statistical methods of evaluation are not effective, and the generated management decisions are unstable. There is a need to create management strategies that produce ...

From productivity to wellbeing? Topic modelling of doctoral education research
Smirnov N., Higher Education 2026 Vol. 91 No. 3 P. 993–1021
Doctoral education has undergone significant transformations over the past two decades, driven by massification, internationalization, and the diversification of training models. These shifts have led to a growing body of research on doctoral education, yet little is known about the overarching thematic and geographical trends shaping this field. This study applies computational natural language processing ...

Topic modeling is a widely used instrument for the analysis of large text collections. In the last few years, neural topic models and models with word embeddings have been proposed to increase the quality of topic solutions. However, these models were not extensively tested in terms of stability and interpretability. Moreover, the question of selecting the number of topics ...

In reliable decision-making systems based on machine learning, models have to be robust to distributional shifts or provide the uncertainty of their predictions. In node-level problems of graph learning, distributional shifts can be especially complex since the samples are interdependent. To evaluate the performance of graph models, it is important to test them on diverse ...
