HSE Scientists Train Neural Network to 'Hear' Faults in Electric Motors
Researchers at the AI and Digital Science Institute of the HSE Faculty of Computer Science have developed a new method—the Signature-Guided Data Augmentation (SGDA) framework—that achieves 99% accuracy in motor fault detection and 86% accuracy in fault classification. The application of this approach can reduce industrial equipment repair costs, minimise downtime, and improve production safety. The study results have been published in Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence.

Is It Possible to Predict a Citys Life Based on the Shape of Its Neighbourhoods?
Is it possible to predict, based on the configuration of streets and buildings, where a café will open or where traffic congestion will occur? Participants in the Spatial Analysis and Modelling of Urban Processes research and study group use open data and machine learning to identify universal patterns. Alexander Sheludkov and Eduard Somov discuss the purpose of comparing cities, the need for new forms of urban statistics, and how open data is transforming approaches to urban studies.

The Invalidity of the 1999 Russia Bombings Conspiracy Theory

Russian Politics. 2025. Vol. 10. No. 2. P. 241–273.
Royce D. P.

This article, partly on the basis of previously-unconsidered primary sources and contemporary reporting, reexamines the conspiracy theory that developed regarding the 1999 Russian apartment bombings. It concludes, first, that the Russian government had net-negative incentive to carry out the conspiracy of which it is accused. Second, had the alleged conspiracy nevertheless been undertaken, it would have very likely unraveled; its failure to do so indicates that it probably was not undertaken in the first place. And third, the overwhelming bulk of the evidence indicates that there was not a real bomb at Ryazan.
