Researchers Develop Methodology to Assess the Quality of Legal Representation in Criminal Proceedings
Having a good defence attorney in criminal proceedings can largely determine whether a defendant retains their freedom, health and good name. Researchers at HSE University propose a method for predicting an attorney’s performance based on the outcomes of their previous cases. The methodology takes into account the severity of the charges, the complexity of the cases, and the most likely outcome, drawing on judicial statistics.

Algebra, Geometry, and AI: Russian and Vietnamese Mathematicians Discuss Current Research
A delegation of scientists from Hanoi visited the HSE Faculty of Computer Science and then took part in a Russian-Vietnamese conference in St Petersburg. The events were part of the three-year project ‘Flexibility and Computational Methods.’ Over the course of the project, the researchers have prepared joint publications and obtained new mathematical results.

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.

A Note on the Effectiveness of the Least Squares Consensus Clustering

.
Mirkin B., Shestakoff A.

We develop a consensus clustering framework proposed three decades ago in Russia and experimentally demonstrate that our least squares consensus clustering algorithm consistently outperforms several recent consensus clustering methods.

This paper reports of theoretical and computational results related to an original concept of consensus clustering involving what we call the projective distance between partitions. This distance is defined as the squared difference between a partition incidence matrix and its image over the orthogonal projection in the linear space spanning the other partition incidence matrix. ...

A Lattice-based Consensus Clustering Algorithm
Бочаров А. А., Gnatyshak D. V., Ignatov D. I. et al., , in: CLA 2016: Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Conference on Concept Lattices and Their Applications. CEUR Workshop ProceedingsVol. 1624.: M.: Higher School of Economics, National Research University, 2016. P. 45–56.
We propose a new algorithm for consensus clustering, FCA-Consensus, based on Formal Concept Analysis. As the input, the algorithm takes T partitions of a certain set of objects obtained by k-means algorithm after T runs from different initialisations. The resulting consensus partition is extracted from an antichain of the concept lattice built on a formal ...

Summary and semi-average similarity criteria for individual clusters
Mirkin B., , in: Models, Algorithms, and Technologies for Network AnalysisVol. 59.: NY: Springer, 2013. P. 101–126.
There exists much prejudice against the within-cluster summary similarity criterion which supposedly leads to collecting all the entities in one cluster. This is not so if the similarity matrix is pre-processed by subtraction of ``noise'', of which two ways, the uniform and modularity, are mentioned in the paper. Another criterion under consideration is the semi-average ...

Individual approximate clusters: methods, properties, applications
Mirkin B., , in: Rough Sets, Fuzzy Sets, Data Mining, and Granular ComputingIssue 8170: Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence.: Heidelberg: Springer, 2013. P. 26–37.
A least-squares data approximation approach to finding individual clusters is advocated. A simple local optimization algorithm leads to suboptimal clusters satisfying some natural tightness criteria. Three versions of an iterative extraction approach are considered, leading to a portrayal of the cluster structure of the data. Of these, probably most promising is what is referred to ...

Additive spectral method for fuzzy cluster analysis of similarity data including community structure and affinity matrices
Mirkin B., Nascimento S., Information Sciences 2012 No. 183 P. 16–34
An additive spectral method for fuzzy clustering is proposed. The method operates on a clustering model which is an extension of the spectral decomposition of a square matrix. The computation proceeds by extracting clusters one by one, which makes the spectral approach quite natural. The iterative extraction of clusters, also, allows us to draw several ...
