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.

Modelling uncertainty with generalized credal sets: application to conjunction and decision.

International Journal of General Systems. 2018. Vol. 27. No. 1. P. 67–96.
Bronevich A., Rozenberg I.

To model conflict, non-specificity and contradiction in information,
upper and lower generalized credal sets are introduced. Any upper
generalized credal set is a convex subset of plausibility measures
interpreted as lower probabilities whose bodies of evidence consist of
singletons and a certain event. Analogously, contradiction is modelled
in the theory of evidence by a belief function that is greater than
zero at empty set. Based on generalized credal sets, we extend the
conjunctive rule for contradictory sources of information, introduce
constructions like natural extension in the theory of imprecise
probabilities and show that the model of generalized credal sets
coincides with the model of imprecise probabilities if the profile of
a generalized credal set consists of probability measures. We give
ways how the introduced model can be applied to decision problems.

Algorithmic overlaps as thermodynamic variables: from local to cluster Monte Carlo dynamics in critical phenomena
Pilé I., Deng Y., Shchur L., / Series arXiv "math". 2026. No. 2604.10254.
We investigate the spatial overlap of successive spin configurations in Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations using the local Metropolis algorithm and the Svendsen-Wang and Wolff cluster algorithms. We examine the dynamics of these algorithms for two models in different universality classes: the Ising model and the Potts model with three components. The overlap of two ...

Using predefined vector systems to speed up neural network multimillion class classification
Gabdullin N., Androsov I., / Series Computer Science "arxiv.org". 2026.
Label prediction in neural networks (NNs) has O(n) complexity proportional to the number of classes. This holds true for classification using fully connected layers and cosine similarity with some set of class prototypes. In this paper we show that if NN latent space (LS) geometry is known and possesses specific properties, label prediction complexity can ...

Community detection in complex networks is a fundamental problem, open to new approaches in various scientific settings. We introduce a novel community detection method, based on Ricci flow on graphs. Our technique iteratively updates edge weights (their metric lengths) according to their (combinatorial) Foster version of Ricci curvature computed from effective resistance distance between the ...

Implementing Transport Coding in OMNeT++ for Message Delay Reduction
Petrovanov I., Sergeev A., / Series Computer Science "arxiv.org". 2025. No. 2512.18332.
Transport coding reduces message delay in packet-switched networks by introducing controlled redundancy at the transport layer:  original packets are encoded into  coded packets, and the message is reconstructed after the first  successful deliveries, effectively shifting latency from the maximum packet delay to the -th order statistic. We present a concise, reproducible discrete-event implementation of transport coding in OMNeT++, including ...

We investigate the boundary separating regular and chaotic dynamics in the generalized Chirikov map, an extension of the standard map with phase-shifted secondary kicks. Lyapunov maps were computed across the parameter space (K,K(α, τ)) and used to train a convolutional neural network (ResNet18) for binary classification of dynamical regimes. The model reproduces the known critical ...

The contradiction between belief functions: Its description, measurement, and correction based on generalized credal sets
Bronevich A., Rozenberg I., International Journal of Approximate Reasoning 2019 Vol. 112 P. 119–139
In the paper, we formalize the notion of contradiction between belief functions: we argue that belief functions are not contradictory if they provide non-contradictory models for decision-making. To elaborate on this idea, we take the decision rule from imprecise probabilities and show that sources of information described by belief functions are not contradictory iff the ...

Recently, generalized credal sets have been introduced for modeling contradiction (incoherence) in the information. In previous papers, we did not discuss how such information could be updated if some events occur. In this paper, we show that it can be done by the conjunctive rule based on generalized credal sets.We show that the application of generalized credal sets results in ...

While making decisions we meet different types of uncertainty. Recently the concept of generalized credal set has been proposed for modeling conflict, imprecision and contradiction in information. This concept allows us to generalize the theory of imprecise probabilities giving us possibilities to process information presented by contradictory (incoherent) lower previsions.

In the paper we argue that aggregation rules in the theory of belief functions should be in accordance with underlying decision models, i.e. aggregation produced in conjunctive manner has to produce the order embedded to the union of partial orders constructed in each source of information; and if we take models based on imprecise probabilities, ...

In the paper we consider the generalization of the conjunctive rule in the theory of imprecise probabilities. Let us remind that the conjunction rule, produced on credal sets,gives their intersection and it is not defined if this intersection is empty. In the last case the sources of information are called contradictory1. Meanwhile, in the Dempster-Shafer ...
