HSE Researchers Show How Congenital Motor Disorders Affect Brain Development
Researchers from HSE University’s Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience have synthesised the findings of their previous studies on brain development in children with obstetric brachial plexus palsy and arthrogryposis. Their analysis shows that impaired motor function in early childhood not only limits children’s motor experience but also affects memory, categorical thinking, and information processing. The study has been published in Frontiers in Psychology.

Window into the Body: Scientists Develop Neural Network to Detect Risk of 15 Diseases from Retinal Images
Russian universities, with the participation of HSE University, Sber, and Z-union, have developed a neural network that can simultaneously assess the risk of 15 types of pathology from retinal photographs, including not only eye diseases but also cardiovascular conditions. The AI system can help clinicians detect potentially concerning changes at an early stage, identify signs reflecting the condition of retinal blood vessels, and determine whether a patient may need further examination. The paper has been published in Frontiers in Medicine.

'We Did Not Limit the Time for Questions'
The International Laboratory for Supercomputer Atomistic Modelling and Multi-Scale Analysis at HSE University held a major conference on molecular dynamics. Participants had the opportunity to attend all the presentations, while speakers were given as much time as they needed to answer questions. The HSE News Service interviewed Grigory Smirnov, Head of the Laboratory, and Genri Norman, Chief Research Fellow, about the conference preparations and the discussions it generated.

Bayesian Sparsification of Gated Recurrent Neural Networks

P. 1–6.
Lobacheva E., Chirkova N., Vetrov D.

Bayesian methods have been successfully applied to sparsify weights of neural networks and to remove structure units from the networks, e. g. neurons. We apply and further develop this approach for gated recurrent architectures. Specifically, in addition to sparsification of individual weights and neurons, we propose to sparsify preactivations of gates and information flow in LSTM. It makes some gates and information flow components constant, speeds up forward pass and improves compression. Moreover, the resulting structure of gate sparsity is interpretable and depends on the task.

Which Model Families Pay? Econometric, Gradient Boosting and Recurrent Neural Network Volatility Forecasts in Active Trading Strategies on the Russian Stock Market
Nikita I. Lysenok, International Journal of Computer Information Systems and Industrial Management Applications 2026 Vol. 18 No. 17s P. 533–549
This paper asks which families of volatility forecasting models create economic value in active trading, and through which integration channel that value is transmitted. Seven models drawn from four families — econometric (GJR-GARCH, HAR-J), gradient boosting (XGBoost, LightGBM), recurrent neural networks (LSTM, GRU) and a hybrid combining HAR-J with boosting — are compared on the ...

Comparative Study of Training Methods and Architectures of Echo State Networks
Androsov I., Proceedings of the Institute for System Programming of the RAS 2026 Vol. 38 No. 3 P. 87–114
This paper examines echo state networks (ESNs), one of the most prevalent approaches to implementing reservoir computing. An ESN consists of a recurrent neural network with fixed (untrained) weights and a readout layer that is typically linear and trainable. This approach enables the creation of energyefficient and computationally efficient neural networks capable of real-time learning. However, since ...

Using a Recurrent Neural Network To Inform the Use of Prostate- specific Antigen (PSA) and PSA Density for Dynamic Monitoring of the Risk of Prostate Cancer Progression on Active Surveillance
Sushentsev N., Abrego L., Colarieti A. et al., EUROPEAN UROLOGY OPEN SCIENCE 2023 Vol. 52 P. 36–39
The global uptake of prostate cancer (PCa) active surveillance (AS) is steadily increasing. While prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) is an important baseline predictor of PCa progression on AS, there is a scarcity of recommendations on its use in follow-up. In particular, the best way of measuring PSAD is unclear. One approach would be to use ...

Self-supervised recurrent depth estimation with attention mechanisms
Makarov I., Bakhanova M., Nikolenko S. et al., PeerJ Computer Science 2022 Vol. 8 Article e865
Depth estimation has been an essential task for many computer vision applications, especially in autonomous driving, where safety is paramount. Depth can be estimated not only with traditional supervised learning but also via a self-supervised approach that relies on camera motion and does not require ground truth depth maps. Recently, major improvements have been introduced ...

On the Embeddings of Variables in Recurrent Neural Networks for Source Code
Chirkova N., , in: 2021 Annual Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Human Language Technologies (NAACL 2021).: Association for Computational Linguistics, 2021. P. 2679–2689.
Source code processing heavily relies on the methods widely used in natural language processing (NLP), but involves specifics that need to be taken into account to achieve higher quality. An example of this specificity is that the semantics of a variable is defined not only by its name but also by the contexts in which ...

Deep learning approach for predicting functional Z-DNA regions using omics data
Beknazarov N., Jin S., Poptsova M., Scientific Reports 2020 Vol. 10 P. 19134
Computational methods to predict Z-DNA regions are in high demand to understand the functional role of Z-DNA. The previous state-of-the-art method Z-Hunt is based on statistical mechanical and energy considerations about B- to Z-DNA transition using sequence information. Z-DNA CHiP-seq experiment results showed little overlap with Z-Hunt predictions implying that sequence information only is not ...

Recurrent neural networks have proved to be an effective method for statistical language modeling. However, in practice their memory and run-time complexity are usually too large to be implemented in real-time offline mobile applications.

Bayesian Sparsification of Recurrent Neural Networks
Lobacheva E., Chirkova N., Vetrov D., , in: 1st Workshop on Learning to Generate Natural Language, International Conference on Machine Learning.: [б.и.], 2017. P. 1–8.
Recurrent neural networks show state-of-the-art results in many text analysis tasks but often require a lot of memory to store their weights. Recently proposed Sparse Variational Dropout (Molchanov et al., 2017) eliminates the majority of the weights in a feed-forward neural network without significant loss of quality. We apply this technique to sparsify recurrent neural ...

SEARNN: Training RNNs with global-local losses
Leblond R., Alayrac J., Osokin A. et al., , in: Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR 2018).: [б.и.], 2018. P. 1–16.
We propose SEARNN, a novel training algorithm for recurrent neural networks (RNNs) inspired by the "learning to search" (L2S) approach to structured prediction. RNNs have been widely successful in structured prediction applications such as machine translation or parsing, and are commonly trained using maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). Unfortunately, this training loss is not always an ...
