'Cultural Studies Seeks to Understand What Lies Beneath the Surface of Everyday Things'
Maxim Zhiganov has been exploring different aspects of sound for many years—first in relation to his native Perm and then on a broader, global scale. In this interview for the HSE Young Scientists project, he talks about sound maps, the special issue of the journal Logos, and why it is important to make the familiar less clear and obvious.

At HSE University–St Petersburg, Experts Discuss How AI Changes Tourist Routes and Cultural Heritage
Neural networks are no longer simple travel assistants; now they decide what to include on the route and what to skip. Artificial intelligence changes how people perceive a place and shapes the image of tourist centres. At the II International Scientific and Practical Conference ’Information Technologies in the Preservation and Promotion of Cultural Heritage,’ researchers discussed who controls algorithmic solutions and in what ways, and whether authentic traditions get lost in them.

Road Injuries Leading Cause of Death Among Men Aged 10 to 39
Worldwide, road injuries are the leading cause of death among males aged 10–39. An international team of researchers reached this conclusion as part of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023, analysing data from 204 countries between 1990 and 2023. Their findings have been published in The Lancet Public Health, with HSE University Professor Vasily Vlassov listed among the collaborators.

Looking for contextual cues to differentiating modal meanings: A corpus-based study

P. 51–78.
Lyashevskaya O., Ovsjannikova M., Szymor N., Divjak D.

The domain of modality is structurally diverse and may be described in multiple ways (for example, see Perkins, 1983; Wierzbicka, 1987; Hengeveld, 1988/2004; Sweetser, 1990; Bondarko, 1990; Bybee et al., 1994; van der Auwera and Plungian, 1998; Palmer, 2001; Hansen, 2004; Nuyts, 2006; Khrakovsky, 2007). The article reports on the Russian part of a larger survey of Slavic modal words and elucidates the role of formal and semantic context of modal words in a new way. The availability of large corpus data paves the way for study of the empirical reliability of existing classifications originally proposed by philosophers. An important property of the modal words is that they are largely ambiguous, developing new modal meanings both diachronically and from the synchronic point of view.

Bert for Classification of Russian Functional Styles
Solovyev V. D., Ten A. M., Солнышкина М. И. et al., Computacion y Sistemas 2025 Vol. 29 No. 2 P. 633–641
This paper tests the hypothesis that texts belonging to different functional styles possess distinct quantitative and linguistic parameters specific to each style. These parameters allow for quantitative classification using BERT. The research aims to develop a BERT classification model based on linguistic features of texts in five main functional styles: scientific, literary, official-business, journalistic, and ...

Can AI Agents Do Diachronic Linguistics? LLMs Meet the Russian National Corpus
Kharlamova D. S., Yakuboy A., Vasilev K. et al., , in: Компьютерная лингвистика и интеллектуальные технологии: По материалам ежегодной международной конференции «Диалог». Выпуск 24Issue 24.: M.: Max press, 2026. P. 181–190.
This paper introduces an integration of Large Language Models with the Russian National Corpus via the Model Context Protocol. We developed an MCP server that acts as an intelligent adapter, abstracting the complexity of the RNC API and enabling models to independently formulate and execute lexico-grammatical searches. To evaluate this system, we conducted a case study using the ...

Роль порядка контролера и мишени в обработке согласования по роду и числу: экспериментальное исследование на материале русского языка
Slioussar N., Antropova D., В кн.: Компьютерная лингвистика и интеллектуальные технологии: По материалам ежегодной международной конференции «Диалог». Выпуск 24Issue 24.: M.: Max press, 2026. С. 590–597.
Agreement feature processing is one of the core issues of psycholinguistics. Previous studies mainly focused on number and gender features and obtained controversial results: in some studies, gender was more salient in processing, while in others number was more salient. The studies relied on different languages, used different constructions and different methods. The goal of ...

Comparing Large Language Models for Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis of Student Experience from Russian-Language Online Course Reviews
Kalicheva V., Kirina M., , in: Speech and Computer. 28th International Conference, SPECOM 2026, Ohrid, North Macedonia, September 17–18, 2026, Proceedings, Part I.: Springer, 2026. P. 320–337.
The rapid expansion of the online education market has produced large volumes of unstructured data—course reviews containing detailed evaluations of specific educational components. Aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) makes it possible to move from a holistic assessment of the educational experience to an analysis of its individual constituents, identifying particular aspects of learning and students’ attitudes ...

Constructions Built of Constructions: Intensified Comparatives
Zhukova V., Ekaterina Rakhilina, Akhapkina Y., Zeitschrift fur Slawistik 2026 Vol. 71 No. 2 P. 259–284
This study examines the most numerous type of construction presented in the Russian Constructicon, namely intensifiers. We studied intensifiers in the context of comparative constructions of inequality like Х bol’še Y‘X is bigger than Y’ –> Х gorazdo bol’še Y‘X is much bigger than Y’. Comparative constructions and intensifiers are usually studied separately since they ...

Методы компьютерной лингвистики для идентификации маркеров языка травмы
Попова Т. И., Наумова В. В., Вестник Новосибирского государственного университета. Серия: Лингвистика и межкультурная коммуникация 2026 Т. 24 № 2 С. 97–111
В работе исследуется язык травмы — вербальные и невербальные стратегии, использованные при описании пережитых трагических событий. На материале интервью бывших заложников теракта в театральном центре на Дубровке (2002) анализируются лексические и хезитационные закономерности, которые могут служить индикаторами рассказа о пережитом трагическом событии, который предположительно отличается от повседневного нарратива. Были использованы такие методы, как составление частотных ...

Технологии автоматического распознавания речи (АРР) к настоящему моменту стали базовым компонентом бэкенд-инфраструктуры различных голосовых и когнитивных ассистентов, обеспечивая доступ пользователей к коммерческим сервисам и государственным платформам. Однако из-за неравномерного распределения данных, на которых модели АРР обучаются, острой становится проблема предвзятости моделей при работе с атипичной речью. Цель исследования заключается в оценке качества распознавания и сравнении ...
