'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.

Designing the Uncanny: Architectural Form and Artificial Imagination

REIA. Revista Europea de Investigation en Architectura. 2025. Vol. 26. P. 18–38.
Pirari G., Battelli C.

This paper investigates the relationship between artificial intelligence and architectural imagination by examining the uncanny dimension (Freud, Vidler) inherent in machine-generated images and spatial configurations. Drawing upon Freud’s concept of the Unheimlich and Baudelaire’s poetics of the double, it interprets AI-driven architectures as manifestations of disturbed familiarity, emerging from a syncretic combinatorial logic that challenges human rationality and control. Emerging generative technologies (e.g., Midjourney, large language models, text-to-3D synthesis) are conceptualized not merely as tools but as imaginative apparatuses capable of evoking hybrid visions situated between dream and design, symbol and reality. Engaging with Neoplatonic philosophy, this paper proposes that AI functions as a novel form of impersonal nous, revealing deep structures of human thought and desire, thereby transforming architectural design into an open, adaptive, and mythopoietic process. Consequently, AI generated architecture is framed not as simple replication or simulation but as a performative medium wherein space, body, and memory hybridize to generate new modes of inhabiting the world

Mean-field reduction of networks of bursting neurons
Inês G., Скороход С. Н., Matteo d. V. et al., Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation 2027 Vol. 164 P. 1–13
The collective dynamics of spiking networks of neurons has been of central interest to both computational neuroscience and network science. Over the past years, a new generation of neural population models based on exact reductions (ER) of spiking networks have been developed. However, most of these efforts have been limited to networks of neurons with simple dynamics (e.g. the ...

Психометрические свойства опросника профессиональной депрессии (the Occupational Depression Inventory, ODI)

Background: existing tools for assessing depression do not take into account its contextualized nature. One of the prevailing spheres of human activity is labor activity, which may cause the occurrence of depression associated with professional activity. Occupational depression is a depressive state associated with chronic work stress. Because occupational activity may be a significant factor ...

Proceedings of the 11th Workshop on Automated Knowledge Base Construction (AKBC 2026)
Association for Computational Linguistics, 2026.
While Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized NLP, they remain prone to hallucinations, reasoning “mode-collapse” in open-ended generation, and a lack of factual provenance. The Automated Knowledge Base Construction (AKBC) workshop addresses a key missing piece of the generative era: structured knowledge. Knowledge Bases (KBs) serve as ground truth for fact verification, the semantic backbone ...

Hypothesis:Accurate determination of interfacial tension values is crucial for many modeling applications in the oil and gas industry. However, many of the presently used empirical and theoretical models show poor prediction accuracy and do not allow for direct consideration of the concentrations of gases and salts dissolved in the system as well as the specific ...

Accurate prediction of complex formulation viscosity is crucial for the lubricant industry and engineering processes. However, developing generalizable models remains challenging due to the complexity of industrial mixtures and the scarcity of public experimental data, often resulting from corporate proprietary restrictions. This study presents a machine-learning workflow for viscosity estimation from a proprietary pseudonymized dataset, ...

The concept of representative volume (REV, or RVE in material sciences) is the cornerstone of continuum scale models – one needs to get the volume big enough so that it could be represented with an averaged value (scalar, vector or tensorial, etc.). While REV should be established in all larger scale simulations, this is rarely ...

The issue of adolescent values is becoming increasingly important. Value orientations largely determine a teenager’s life position and worldview. Research into the values that are significant for schoolchildren requires consideration of the agerelated changes that occur in their value-moral sphere during the transition from early to late adolescence. Puberty is particularly significant, as processes related ...

Amplifying Latent Safety in Large Language Models via Gated Activation Steering
Roman Prosvirnin, Suslov A., Aleksei Soldatov et al., Computation 2026 Vol. 14 No. 10 Article 261
Abstract Safety-aligned language models often encode that a request is harmful yet still comply with it. We turn this gap between internal recognition and observable behavior into an inference-time defense. The proposed activation-steering method uses a multiplicative operator that amplifies the residual-stream component along a harm-recognition direction. Intervention strength scales with the model’s own assessment of ...

Databases with emotional ratings of words are essential for studying emotional information processing in psychology, psycholinguistics, neuroscience, and related disciplines. The emotional content of stimuli is traditionally described within two approaches: dimensional (rating words on continuous scales such as valence and arousal) and categorical (rating associations of words with discrete emotion categories). Databases with emotional ...
