'Cultural Studies Seeks to Understand What Lies Beneath the Surface of Everyday Things'
Maxim Zhiganov has been exploring different aspects of sound for many years—first in relation to his native Perm and then on a broader, global scale. In this interview for the HSE Young Scientists project, he talks about sound maps, the special issue of the journal Logos, and why it is important to make the familiar less clear and obvious.

At HSE University–St Petersburg, Experts Discuss How AI Changes Tourist Routes and Cultural Heritage
Neural networks are no longer simple travel assistants; now they decide what to include on the route and what to skip. Artificial intelligence changes how people perceive a place and shapes the image of tourist centres. At the II International Scientific and Practical Conference ’Information Technologies in the Preservation and Promotion of Cultural Heritage,’ researchers discussed who controls algorithmic solutions and in what ways, and whether authentic traditions get lost in them.

Road Injuries Leading Cause of Death Among Men Aged 10 to 39
Worldwide, road injuries are the leading cause of death among males aged 10–39. An international team of researchers reached this conclusion as part of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023, analysing data from 204 countries between 1990 and 2023. Their findings have been published in The Lancet Public Health, with HSE University Professor Vasily Vlassov listed among the collaborators.

Modeling Network Dynamics of MOOC Discussion Interactions at Scale

P. 336–337.
Zhang J., Skryabin M.

This paper attempts to model network dynamics of MOOC discussion interactions. It contributes to providing alternatives to conducting null hypothesis significance testing in educational studies. Using data collected from two successive psychology MOOCs in 2014 and 2015, the probabilistic longitudinal network analysis was performed by employing stochastic actor-based models with statistical accuracy. Understanding the mechanisms that drive the dynamics of discussions shed light on the design of a self-generated and learner-supported learning environment to meet the challenges of accommodating a massive and global student body.

Models of Similarity in Complex Networks
Швыдун С. В., PeerJ Computer Science 2023 Vol. 9 Article e1371
The analysis of networks describing many social, economic, technological, biological and other systems has attracted a lot of attention last decades. Since most of these complex systems evolve over time, there is a need to investigate the changes, which appear in the system, in order to assess the sustainability of the network and to identify ...

Generalized synchronization in a conservative and nearly conservative systems of star network
Srinivasan S., Prasad A., Chaos 2018 Vol. 28 No. 113107 Article 113107
We report the coexistence of synchronized and unsynchronized states in a mutually coupled star network of nearly conservative non-identical oscillators. Generalized synchronization is observed between the central oscillator with the peripherals, and phase synchronization is found among the peripherals in weakly dissipative systems. However, the basin size of the synchronization region decreases as dissipation strength ...

This study attempts to make inferences about the mechanisms that drive network change over time. It adopts simulation investigation for empirical network analysis to examine the patterns and evolution of relationships formed in the context of a massive open online course (MOOC) discussion forum. Four network effects—homophily, reciprocity, transitivity, and preferential attachment—were tested to explain the dynamic mechanisms of ...

Exponential machines
Novikov A., Trofimov M., Oseledets I., / Series stat :: arxiv :: Cornell University "stat :: arxiv :: Cornell University". 2017.
Modeling interactions between features improves the performance of machine learning solutions in many domains (e.g. recommender systems or sentiment analysis). In this paper, we introduce Exponential Machines (ExM), a predictor that models all interactions of every order. The key idea is to represent an exponentially large tensor of parameters in a factorized format called Tensor ...
