Scientists Develop Algorithm for More Reliable Processors in Data Centres
Researchers from HSE MIEM and Samara University have developed the LRF-3D algorithm to automatically bypass idle nodes in three-dimensional networks-on-chip. Thanks to its hierarchical architecture, the algorithm outperforms existing solutions in both speed and path accuracy, improving processor reliability for use in data centres, supercomputers, and AI computing. The source code and test results are publicly available.

Researchers Develop Method for Direct Generation of Regulatory DNA
Researchers at HSE University have developed a model for generating promoters and enhancers—DNA sequences that regulate gene activity. The model works directly with DNA nucleotides, without first transforming them into a continuous numerical representation. This solution could be useful for applications in synthetic biology and gene therapy. The study results were presented at the ICLR 2026 Workshop ‘Generative AI in Genomics (Gen^2): Barriers and Frontiers.’

Quantifying lexical distances among Nudiz, Mahmudi, and Verin Dvin Urmi (North-Eastern Neo-Aramaic)

Journal of Language Relationship. 2025. Vol. 23. No. 3–4. P. 207–275.
Shvedova E., Koryakov Y., Elizaveta Zabelina

This study documents and analyzes lexical data from four Christian North-Eastern Neo-Aramaic varieties: Mahmudi, Nudiz, Verin Dvin Urmi, and Urmia Urmi, focusing on the previously undescribed Mahmudi and Nudiz. We provide correspondences from these lects for an extended 226-item basic vocabulary list collected for this study with etymologies, cognates from earlier Aramaic, and loanword sources. Cognate share calculations reveal that all four varieties belong to a single language. Notably, Mahmudi and Verin Dvin Urmi—spoken in the same village for 67 years—exhibit stronger convergence than with their genealogical relatives (Nudiz and Urmia Urmi respectively), highlighting contact-driven divergence from inherited patterns.

Variation and Diachronic Change in Epistemic Stance: Testing Promotional Trends in NSF Grant Proposal Abstracts.

Although epistemic stance in academic discourse has been extensively researched in linguistics, relatively little is known about diachronic change and variation in its expression across disciplines, and still less about the grant proposal abstract, a genre produced under strong promotional pressure. The present paper addresses this gap by testing whether the widely reported trend towards research “hype” is ...
