How to Assess Students Knowledge in the Age of AI
A researcher at HSE University has proposed a flowchart to help lecturers decide how to assess students who use artificial intelligence. It shows where the use of AI should be restricted and where it can be incorporated into the learning process. The article has been published in IT Professional.

‘Balkan Hospitality Opens Doors: Studying Dialects on the Verge of Extinction
You cannot study spoken dialects from books. Instead, you need to go to a village, seek out its elders, and earn the trust of local residents before you can record hours of spontaneous stories. This is how Natalia Muravleva, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Humanities, conducts her research. Her internship in Serbia continued her long-standing study of dialects spoken by Macedonian settlers. In this interview, she discusses how diaspora cultural centres help researchers reach informants, why native speakers need to be interviewed only in their own language (otherwise, as she puts it, they may 'break'), and how a single field season helped her finalise her monograph. She also shares warm memories of autumn in Belgrade and of colleagues with whom grammar can be discussed in three languages at once.

Scientists Train Neural Network to Generate Process Plans from 3D Models
Researchers at the HSE FCS AI and Digital Science Institute have developed CAD2TechSpec, a framework that converts 3D models of mechanical parts into machining process plans—step-by-step instructions for machine tools. The solution aims to reduce the time required for the design and preparation of technical process documentation in mechanical engineering, aircraft manufacturing, and other high-tech industries. The study findings have been published in PeerJ Computer Science.

Neo-Aramaic Texts in the New Alphabet Published in the Soviet Union 1929–1938

Ch. 13. P. 365–384.
Lyavdansky A.

The purpose of this contribution is to present the corpus of Neo-Aramaic Texts in the New Alphabet in its entirety, summarize what has been done in the field, and demonstrate how the nascent digitized corpus of Christian Urmi in Latinized orthography can contribute to research into this idiom. To this end, several linguistic features are discussed: orthography; synharmonism (pharyngealization); classicisms in orthography, morphology, and syntax; demonstrative pronouns; the qam qāṭəlle construction; serial verbs; and the lexicon.

Adnominal Possession in Turoyo: New Evidence from the Kfarze Dialect
Кашинцева К. В., , in: From Moscow to Baghdad: Studies on Middle Eastern Christianity in Memory of Nikolai Seleznyov.: Brill, 2026.
This article explores the marking of adnominal possession in the Turoyo language. The language employs two sets of possessive suffixes (see Table 1 below) the distribution of which has been somewhat unclear. On the one hand, it has been suggested that these sets could be used interchangeably with nouns denoting body parts, kinship terms, and inherent ...

Локус маркирования в атрибутивных посессивных конструкциях с частицей ət в урмийском новоарамейском
Russkih A., В кн.: Девятнадцатая конференция по типологии и грамматике для молодых исследователей: тезисы докладов.: СПб.: ИЛИ РАН, 2022. С. 123–126.
Настоящее исследование посвящено установлению локуса маркирования синтаксической связи в атрибутивных посессивных конструкциях с релятором ət в урмийском новоарамейском. Конструкция с релятором в урмийском новоарамейском является основным способом выражения как прототипических, так и ти- пологически периферийных значений посессивной зоны [Русских 2021]. В исследовании показано, что несмотря на то, что фонетически частица ət ассоциируется с вершиной посессивной конструкции, синтаксически она образует одну ...

In Proto-Aramaic, the passive of transitive verbs belonging to all three principal stems—G, D and C—was formed internally. Some verbs of the G- and D-stems also possessed detransitive derivatives. Transitive verbs of the G-, D- and C-stems lost their internal passives early on, and the passives of G- and D-verbs were encoded by their respective ...
