‘Our Team Consists of True Leaders in Their Respective Academic Disciplines
The HSE International Centre of Decision Choice and Analysis studies a wide range of methods for analysing decision-making and possible scenarios for the development of natural, socio-economic, and political phenomena using various mathematical models. The application of advanced mathematical methods to forecasting helps to prevent negative outcomes and avoid erroneous decisions. The HSE News Service spoke to the centre’s director, Prof. Fuad Aleskerov, about its work.

International N5 Symposium ‘Neural Networks and Nonlinearity in Nizhny Novgorod Brings Together Scientists from Russia and Serbia
The International N5 Symposium ‘Neural Networks and Nonlinearity in Nizhny Novgorod’ was held at the Nizhny Novgorod House of Scientists from September 23 to 26. The event was organised by HSE University–Nizhny Novgorod and the Nizhny Novgorod House of Scientists, with the participation of Sberbank and the Institute of Physics Belgrade. The symposium was held for the second time: the first conference took place in 2025 and attracted considerable interest from the academic community.

A Note on the Effectiveness of the Least Squares Consensus Clustering

.
Mirkin B., Shestakoff A.

We develop a consensus clustering framework proposed three decades ago in Russia and experimentally demonstrate that our least squares consensus clustering algorithm consistently outperforms several recent consensus clustering methods.

This paper reports of theoretical and computational results related to an original concept of consensus clustering involving what we call the projective distance between partitions. This distance is defined as the squared difference between a partition incidence matrix and its image over the orthogonal projection in the linear space spanning the other partition incidence matrix. ...

A Lattice-based Consensus Clustering Algorithm
Бочаров А. А., Gnatyshak D. V., Ignatov D. I. et al., , in: CLA 2016: Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Conference on Concept Lattices and Their Applications. CEUR Workshop ProceedingsVol. 1624.: M.: Higher School of Economics, National Research University, 2016. P. 45–56.
We propose a new algorithm for consensus clustering, FCA-Consensus, based on Formal Concept Analysis. As the input, the algorithm takes T partitions of a certain set of objects obtained by k-means algorithm after T runs from different initialisations. The resulting consensus partition is extracted from an antichain of the concept lattice built on a formal ...

Summary and semi-average similarity criteria for individual clusters
Mirkin B., , in: Models, Algorithms, and Technologies for Network AnalysisVol. 59.: NY: Springer, 2013. P. 101–126.
There exists much prejudice against the within-cluster summary similarity criterion which supposedly leads to collecting all the entities in one cluster. This is not so if the similarity matrix is pre-processed by subtraction of ``noise'', of which two ways, the uniform and modularity, are mentioned in the paper. Another criterion under consideration is the semi-average ...

Individual approximate clusters: methods, properties, applications
Mirkin B., , in: Rough Sets, Fuzzy Sets, Data Mining, and Granular ComputingIssue 8170: Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence.: Heidelberg: Springer, 2013. P. 26–37.
A least-squares data approximation approach to finding individual clusters is advocated. A simple local optimization algorithm leads to suboptimal clusters satisfying some natural tightness criteria. Three versions of an iterative extraction approach are considered, leading to a portrayal of the cluster structure of the data. Of these, probably most promising is what is referred to ...

Additive spectral method for fuzzy cluster analysis of similarity data including community structure and affinity matrices
Mirkin B., Nascimento S., Information Sciences 2012 No. 183 P. 16–34
An additive spectral method for fuzzy clustering is proposed. The method operates on a clustering model which is an extension of the spectral decomposition of a square matrix. The computation proceeds by extracting clusters one by one, which makes the spectral approach quite natural. The iterative extraction of clusters, also, allows us to draw several ...
