AI Users Earn Up to 41.8% More Than Non-Users
Research conducted by economists at HSE University has revealed a significant correlation between the regular use of GenAI in the workplace and higher pay among Russian employees. The study found that individuals who frequently use GenAI in their professional activities earn notably more than those who reject these new tools or resort to them occasionally. The salary premium for highly qualified specialists reaches 41.8%. The article was published in the Voprosy Ekonomiki journal.

‘Feedback and Constructive Criticism Are Essential in Our Profession
Vincent Fardeau, Associate Professor at HSE ICEF, has reached a major career milestone: he recently published his paper ‘Asymmetric Thin Markets’ in the Journal of Financial Economics, successfully passed his major academic review, and received tenure. In this interview, Vincent discusses the story behind the paper, explains the concept of asymmetric thin markets, and shares his advice for young scholars aiming to publish in top-tier journals.

Personal Interest in Doctoral Thesis Topic Most Important for Confidence in Successful Defence
A researcher at HSE University analysed data on 1,539 doctoral students from 161 Russian universities to identify which features of a thesis topic are associated with academic success and engagement. The most important factor was found to be personal interest in the research topic, which was associated with almost all key aspects of doctoral programme experience—from engaging with the academic supervisor to research activity and confidence about successfully defending the thesis. The findings have been published in Higher Education.

FiMMIA: scaling semantic perturbation-based membership inference across modalities
Emelyanov A., Sergei Kudriashov, Alena Fenogenova, , in: Proceedings of the 19th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (Volume 3: System Demonstrations)Vol. 3: System Demonstrations.: Rabat: Association for Computational Linguistics, 2026. Ch. 11 P. 139–153.
Membership Inference Attacks (MIAs) aim to determine whether a specific data point was included in the training set of a target model. Although there are have been numerous methods developed for detecting data contamination in large language models (LLMs), their performance on multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) falls short due to the instabilities introduced through multimodal component ...

Weighted boxes fusion: Ensembling boxes from different object detection models
Соловьёв Р. А., Габрушева Т., Ванг В., Image and Vision Computing 2021 Vol. 107 P. 104117–0
We present a novel method for combining predictions in ensembles of different object detection models: weighted boxes fusion. This method significantly improves the quality of the fused predicted rectangles for an ensemble. We tested the method on several datasets and evaluated it in the context of the Open Images and COCO Object Detection challenges. It helped ...

Reinforcement learning competitions advance the field by providing appropriate scope and support to develop solutions toward a specific problem. To promote the development of more broadly applicable methods, organizers need to enforce the use of general techniques, the use of sample-efficient methods, and the reproducibility of the results. While beneficial for the research community, these ...

Soft Margin Spectral Normalization for GANs
Rogachev A., Ratnikov F., Computing and Software for Big Science 2024 Vol. 8 No. 1 Article 12
In this paper, we explore the use of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to speed up the simulation process while ensuring that the generated results are consistent in terms of physics metrics. Our main focus is the application of spectral normalization for GANs to generate electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) response data, which is a crucial component of ...

Real-time detection of hogweed: UAV platform empowered by deep learning
Menshchikov A., Shadrin D., Prutyanov V. et al., IEEE Transactions on Computers 2021 Vol. 70 No. 8 P. 1175–1188
The Hogweed of Sosnowskyi (lat. Heracleum sosnowskyi) is poisonous for humans, dangerous for farming crops, and local ecosystems. This plant is fast-growing and has already spread all over Eurasia: from Germany to the Siberian part of Russia, and its distribution expands year-by-year. In-situ detection of this harmful plant is a tremendous challenge for many countries. ...

Generative design of physical objects using modular framework
Nikita O. Starodubcev, Nikitin N., Andronova E. et al., Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence 2023 Vol. 119 Article 105715
In recent years generative design techniques have become firmly established in numerous applied fields, especially in engineering. These methods are crucial for automating the initial stages of the engineering design of various structures, which reduces the amount of routine work. However, existing approaches are limited by the specificity of the problem under consideration. In addition, ...

The paper deals with the problem of controlling the state of industrial devices according to the readings of their sensors. The current methods are based on an approach to feature extraction in which the prediction occurs. We propose an interaction method of multiple blocks of different complexity, which aggregate information differently over time, to create ...

TabDDPM: Modelling Tabular Data with Diffusion Models
Kotelnikov A., Baranchuk D., Ivan Rubachev et al., , in: Proceedings of the 40th International Conference on Machine Learning: Volume 202: International Conference on Machine Learning, 23-29 July 2023, Honolulu, Hawaii, USAVol. 202: International Conference on Machine Learning, 23-29 July 2023, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA.: PMLR, 2023. P. 17564–17579.
Denoising diffusion probabilistic models are becoming the leading generative modeling paradigm for many important data modalities. Being the most prevalent in the computer vision community, diffusion models have recently gained some attention in other domains, including speech, NLP, and graph-like data. In this work, we investigate if the framework of diffusion models can be advantageous ...

Leveraging Recursive Gumbel-Max Trick for Approximate Inference in Combinatorial Spaces

Structured latent variables allow incorporating meaningful prior knowledge into deep learning models. However, learning with such variables remains challenging because of their discrete nature. Nowadays, the standard learning approach is to define a latent variable as a perturbed algorithm output and to use a differentiable surrogate for training. In general, the surrogate puts additional constraints ...

Estimating latent traits from expert surveys: an analysis of sensitivity to data-generating process
Marquardt K., Pemstein D., POLITICAL SCIENCE RESEARCH AND METHODS 2021 P. 1–10
Models for converting expert-coded data to estimates of latent concepts assume different data-generating processes (DGPs). In this paper, we simulate ecologically valid data according to different assumptions, and examine the degree to which common methods for aggregating expert-coded data (1) recover true values and (2) construct appropriate coverage intervals. We find that the mean and ...

How and how much does expert error matter? Implications for quantitative peace research
Marquardt K., Journal of Peace Research 2020 Vol. 57 No. 6 P. 692–700
Expert-coded datasets provide scholars with otherwise unavailable data on important concepts. However, expert coders vary in their reliability and scale perception, potentially resulting in substantial measurement error. These concerns are acute in expert coding of key concepts for peace research. Here I examine (1) the implications of these concerns for applied statistical analyses, and (2) ...

Constraining governments: New indices of vertical, horizontal, and diagonal accountability
Lührmann A., Marquardt K., Mechkova V., American Political Science Review 2020 Vol. 114 No. 3 P. 811–820
Accountability—constraints on a government’s use of political power—is one of the cornerstones of good governance. However, conceptual stretching and a lack of reliable measures have limited cross-national research on this concept. To address this research gap, we use V-Dem data and innovative Bayesian methods to develop new indices of accountability and its subtypes: the extent ...
