When Pictures Hinder Understanding: Illustrations May Impede Learning of Abstract Ideas
Illustrations can help remember specific actions but do not always make abstract ideas easier to learn. Researchers from HSE University and Humboldt University compared how people learn from texts with different levels of abstractness. They found that participants remembered illustrations better and performed better on related tasks after reading a multimedia text about yoga asanas than after reading an abstract text about the Nash equilibrium. The findings could help improve the selection of illustrations for educational and informational materials. The study has been published in Learning and Instruction.

'I Wish That People Would Place Greater Trust in Science'
When Tatiana Eremicheva chose Fundamental and Computational Linguistics as her field of study, she thought it would be about learning languages. Instead, she discovered it was about helping people. In this interview for the HSE Young Scientists project, she discusses science as a way of understanding the world, billiards as a team-building activity, and why learning to read is not always as easy as it seems.

Immunity to Chaos: How Personal Resources Help Us Cope with the Challenges of a Turbulent World
International conflicts, crises and digital overload—the modern world puts our minds to the test every day. Traditional psychology often focuses on the consequences: anxiety, depression, and psychosomatic disorders. But what if we looked at the problem differently—through the lens of the resources that prevent us from breaking down? Psychological immunity is precisely this set of resources. Alena Zolotareva and her group, Psychological Immunity as a Resource for Positive Functioning, are developing an integrative model of this phenomenon, adapting diagnostic tools and preparing for large-scale empirical research. Why do psychologists need to collaborate with medical professionals, and how could their research transform preventive care in clinics and corporations?

The labor market is undergoing rapid changes, with increasing demands on job seekers and a surge in job openings. Identifying essential skills and competencies from job descriptions is challenging due to varying employer requirements and the omission of key skills. This study addresses these challenges by comparing traditional Named Entity Recognition (NER) methods based on ...

Kak že kak že! Russian discourse formula of confirmation as a marker of recognition
Ekaterina Rakhilina, Bychkova P., , in: Constructions with lexical repetitions in East Slavic.: De Gruyter Mouton, 2024. P. 197–222.
The chapter presents a case study of the repetition mechanism within the development of discourse formulae, i.e., multi-word formulaic replies similar to yes and no. It closely examines the process of pragmaticalization in the Russian formula Kak že! (‘how part’) and its duplicated counterpart. The diachronic corpus data shows that the formula Kak že! emerged ...

Everyday Conversations: a Comparative Study of Expert Transcriptions and ASR Outputs at a Lexical Level
Sherstinova T., Михайловский Н. Э., Kolobov R., Lecture Notes in Computer Science 2023 Vol. 14338 P. 43–56
The study examines the outcomes of automatic speech recognition (ASR) applied to field recordings of daily Russian speech. Everyday conversations, captured in real-life communicative scenarios, pose quite a complex subject for ASR. This is due to several factors: they can contain speech from a multitude of speakers, the loudness of the conversation partners’ speech signals ...

Text complexity assessment is one of the urgent problems of our time. Many modern texts, including classroom books and legislative acts, prove to be too difficult and as such cannot cater to readers’ needs. This also applies to legal, financial, banking documents. Although the first methods of measuring text complexity were suggested over 70 years ...

We systematize the theoretical approaches towards assessment of school textbooks, analyze the existing practice of textbook evaluation, and justify the need to formalize the assessment criteria in order to improve objectivity. We also suggest a system of diagnosable (measureable) criteria for textbook assessment. The criteria are ranged depending on their functional load. Level-one criteria are ...
