‘In the Age of Technology, It Is Interesting to Look into the Past and Think about What We Can Take from It

Polina Tabakova decided to apply for a Philology degree at HSE in Nizhny Novgorod because she grew up in Mari El and did not want to move far away from the Russian forests. In an interview for the Young Scientists of HSE University project, she spoke about the genre of the campus novel, the existential drama of Kolobok, and a blackout version of Eugene Onegin.

HSE Scientists Develop Method to Compress Large Language Models Without Losing Quality

Researchers from the AI and Digital Science Institute at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science have developed a new compression method for large language models such as GPT and LLaMA that reduces their size by 25–36% without additional training or significant loss of accuracy. This is the first approach to use mathematical transformations—specifically, rotations of model weights—to make models more amenable to compression with structured matrices. The study results have been published in ACL Findings 2025. The code is available on GitHub.

Machine Learning Models Can Help Reduce Volatility and Boost Stock Market Returns

The use of machine learning models makes it possible to achieve greater accuracy in predicting risks in the Russian stock market compared to classical econometric approaches. The predictive power of these models increases by 23%, while the average investor’s return can reach up to 13% per annum. These conclusions were drawn by Nikita Lysenok from the Department of Financial Market Infrastructure at the HSE Faculty of Economic Sciences. The paper has been published in Fundamental and Applied Mathematics.

"Дары многы с любовию": к вопросу о символической стороне даров на Руси первой половины XII в.

С. 163–181.

Гребенников Н. Ю.

The practice of gift-giving was actively used in the Medieval Europe by representatives of different nobles houses as a meaning to interact with each other. The author of the article aims to scrutinize the examples of describing the
practice of gift exchange in the context of the relationship between the Rurikids and their diplomatic relations to identify the symbolic subtext behind the exchange of gifts. In his observations, the author relies on the concept proposed
by M. Moss: any exchange of gifts in pre-industrial societies has a hidden, symbolic meaning. The novelty of the paper is formed by the stated theme – in no study have the chronicle evidence of the fi rst half of the 12th century been
considered for symbolic communication between the Rurikids.
