Scientists Create Open Dataset for Studying Concentration
A team of Russian researchers, including scientists from HSE University–St Petersburg, has developed the first open multimodal dataset containing recordings of brain activity, heart function, and video observations to help researchers understand what happens in the human brain during deep concentration. In the future, the dataset could accelerate the development of neural interfaces, rehabilitation technologies, and AI systems. The article has been published in Scientific Data.

‘Science Is Universal-It Knows No Borders
Fuad Aleskerov, Tenured Professor and Director of the International Centre of Decision Choice and Analysis at HSE University, together with his colleagues, has developed methods of network analysis in bibliometrics that have made it possible to identify patterns in the appearance and citation of publications in academic journals, as well as their influence on each other. When one or a number of studies are frequently cited by a wide range of journals, this is an indicator that the research is of high quality. By contrast, extensive cross-citation within a limited group of journals increases the likelihood of identifying a network of predatory publications.

Putting MRFs on a Tensor Train

P. 811–819.
Vetrov D., Osokin A., Novikov A., Rodomanov A.

In the paper we present a new framework for dealing with probabilistic graphical models. Our approach relies on the recently proposed Tensor Train format (TT-format) of a tensor that while being compact allows for efficient application of linear algebra operations. We present a way to convert the energy of a Markov random field to the TT-format and show how one can exploit the properties of the TT-format to attack the tasks of the partition function estimation and the MAP-inference. We provide theoretical guarantees on the accuracy of the proposed algorithm for estimating the partition function and compare our methods against several state-of-the-art algorithms.

Tensor decomposition methods have recently proven to be efficient for compressing and accelerating neural networks. However, the problem of optimal decomposition structure determination is still not well studied while being quite important. Specifically, decomposition ranks present the crucial parameter controlling the compression-accuracy trade-off. In this paper, we introduce MARS - a new efficient method for ...

On the rank of a Latin tensor
Shitov Y., Linear Algebra and its Applications 2018 Vol. 544 P. 299–305
An n×n matrix A is called permutative if the rows of A are distinct permutations of a family of n distinct elements. For all n⩾3, we show that the minimal rank of a non-negative permutative matrix equals 3. The minimal rank of a generic permutative n×n matrix equals the smallest integer r such that r!⩾n. ...

We propose a method (TT-GP) for approximate inference in Gaussian Process (GP) models.

A Principled Deep Random Field Model for Image Segmentation
Kohli P., Osokin A., Jegelka S., , in: Proceedings of the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR 2013).: Portland: IEEE, 2013. P. 1971–1978.
We discuss a model for image segmentation that is able to overcome the short-boundary bias observed in standard pairwise random field based approaches. To wit, we show that a random field with multi-layered hidden units can encode boundary preserving higher order potentials such as the ones used in the cooperative cuts model of [11] while ...

Minimizing sparse high-order energies by submodular vertex-cover
Delong A., Veksler O., Osokin A. et al., , in: Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 26 (NIPS 2012).: Lake Tahoe: Curran Associates, Inc., 2012.
Inference in high-order graphical models has become important in recent years. Several approaches are based, for example, on generalized message-passing, or on transformation to a pairwise model with extra 'auxiliary' variables. We focus on a special case where a much more efficient transformation is possible. Instead of adding variables, we transform the original problem into ...
