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.

Why Do Mathematicians Need Different Ways to Present Mathematical Objects? The Case of Cayley Graphs

Topoi. 2010. Vol. 29. No. 1. P. 41–51.
Irina S.

This paper investigates the role of pictures in mathematics in the particular case of Cayley graphs—the graphic representations of groups. I shall argue that their principal function in that theory—to provide insight into the abstract structure of groups—is performed employing their visual aspect. I suggest that the application of a visual graph theory in the purely non-visual theory of groups resulted in a new effective approach in which pictures have an essential role. Cayley graphs were initially developed as exact mathematical constructions. Therefore, they are legitimate components of the theory (combinatorial and geometric group theory) and the pictures of Cayley graphs are a part of practical mathematical procedures.

Audio-Visual Speech Recognition In-The-Wild: Multi-Angle Vehicle Cabin Corpus and Attention-Based Method
Axyonov Alexandr, Ryumin Dmitry, Ivanko D. et al., , in: IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP 2024).: IEEE, 2024. P. 8195–8199.
Audio-visual speech recognition (AVSR) gains increasing attention as an important part of human-machine interaction. However, the publicly available corpora are limited, particularly in driving conditions with prevalent background noise. Research so far has been collected in constrained environments, and thus cannot reflect the true performance of AVSR systems in real-world scenarios. Moreover, data for languages ...

Analyzing the Robustness of Vision & Language Models
Shirnin A., Andreev N., Potapova S. et al., IEEE/ACM Transactions on Speech and Language Processing 2024 Vol. 32 P. 2751–2763
We present an approach to evaluate the robustness of pre-trained vision and language (V&L) models to noise in input data. Given a source image/text, we perturb it using standard computer vision (CV) / natural language processing (NLP) techniques and feed it to a V&L model. To track performance changes, we explore the problem of visual ...

Embedded ArUco: a novel approach for high precision UAV landing
Khazetdinov A., Zakiev A., Tsoy T. et al., , in: 2022 International Siberian Conference on Control and Communications (SIBCON).: IEEE, 2022. Ch. 9438855.
This paper presents a novel approach for precise UAV landing using visual sensory data. A new type of fiducial marker called embedded ArUco (e-ArUco) was developed specially for a task of a robust marker detection for a wide range of distances. E-ArUco markers are based on original ArUco markers approach and require only ArUco detection ...

Роковая метафора: зрение и слух в рефлексивном опыте культур Запада и Востока
Maliavin V., Ячин С. Е., Вестник Московского университета. Серия 7: Философия 2021 № 2 С. 80–95
Western culture tends towards panoptical vision of the world where human being (1)  occupies the place of a lonely and tragic observer of the “world picture”.  Though culture’s relying on visual perspective may be quite efficient in matters of technology, it is not immune to a certain kind of optical illusion, which asserts the essential ...

Концепция риска и визуализация его изменений в докладах Межправительственной группы экспертов по изменению климата
Инсаров Г. Э., Мендес К. Л., Semenov S. et al., Фундаментальная и прикладная климатология 2020 Т. 2 С. 6–34
Decision making in the field of limiting anthropogenic impacts on the climate system, including climate itself, requires the estimates of consequences. The assessment of the confidence of estimates is important for the reliable justification of the decisions, in particular for the risk analysis. Such an approach was developed in scientific reports of the Intergovernmental Panel ...

Mathematical Knowledge: Intuition, Visualization, and Understanding
Irina S., Horsten L., Topoi 2010 Vol. 29 No. 1 P. 1–2
According to the orthodox conception, mathematicalknowledge is obtained by a combination of mathematicalintuition and deduction: the truth of the axioms is intui-tively given, and theorems are obtained from axioms bylogical inference. Intuition and deduction are viewed astwo separate modules of mathematical thought, and theycan be studied largely independently of each other. Butthere are reasons why this view has come under increasingpressure. ...

A System for Knowledge Discovery in Big Dynamical Text Collections
Kuznetsov S., Neznanov A., Poelmans J., , in: Proceedings, Workshop “What can FCA do for Artificial Intelligence?” of the ECAI 2012 conference.: M.: CEUR Workshop Proceedings, 2012. Ch. 12 P. 81–87.
Software system Cordiet-FCA is presented, which is designed for knowledge discovery in big dynamic data collections, including texts in natural language. Cordiet-FCA allows one to compose ontology-controlled queries and outputs concept lattice, implication bases, association rules, and other useful concept-based artifacts. Efficient algorithms for data preprocessing, text processing, and visualization of results are discussed. Examples ...
