‘In the Age of Technology, It Is Interesting to Look into the Past and Think about What We Can Take from It
Polina Tabakova decided to apply for a Philology degree at HSE in Nizhny Novgorod because she grew up in Mari El and did not want to move far away from the Russian forests. In an interview for the Young Scientists of HSE University project, she spoke about the genre of the campus novel, the existential drama of Kolobok, and a blackout version of Eugene Onegin.

HSE Scientists Develop Method to Compress Large Language Models Without Losing Quality
Researchers from the AI and Digital Science Institute at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science have developed a new compression method for large language models such as GPT and LLaMA that reduces their size by 25–36% without additional training or significant loss of accuracy. This is the first approach to use mathematical transformations—specifically, rotations of model weights—to make models more amenable to compression with structured matrices. The study results have been published in ACL Findings 2025. The code is available on GitHub.

Machine Learning Models Can Help Reduce Volatility and Boost Stock Market Returns
The use of machine learning models makes it possible to achieve greater accuracy in predicting risks in the Russian stock market compared to classical econometric approaches. The predictive power of these models increases by 23%, while the average investor’s return can reach up to 13% per annum. These conclusions were drawn by Nikita Lysenok from the Department of Financial Market Infrastructure at the HSE Faculty of Economic Sciences. The paper has been published in Fundamental and Applied Mathematics.

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.

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. ...

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 ...

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 ...
