Researchers Develop Method for Direct Generation of Regulatory DNA
Researchers at HSE University have developed a model for generating promoters and enhancers—DNA sequences that regulate gene activity. The model works directly with DNA nucleotides, without first transforming them into a continuous numerical representation. This solution could be useful for applications in synthetic biology and gene therapy. The study results were presented at the ICLR 2026 Workshop ‘Generative AI in Genomics (Gen^2): Barriers and Frontiers.’

Bayesian Sparsification of Gated Recurrent Neural Networks

P. 1–6.
Lobacheva E., Chirkova N., Vetrov D.

Bayesian methods have been successfully applied to sparsify weights of neural networks and to remove structure units from the networks, e. g. neurons. We apply and further develop this approach for gated recurrent architectures. Specifically, in addition to sparsification of individual weights and neurons, we propose to sparsify preactivations of gates and information flow in LSTM. It makes some gates and information flow components constant, speeds up forward pass and improves compression. Moreover, the resulting structure of gate sparsity is interpretable and depends on the task.

Which Model Families Pay? Econometric, Gradient Boosting and Recurrent Neural Network Volatility Forecasts in Active Trading Strategies on the Russian Stock Market
Lysenok N., International Journal of Computer Information Systems and Industrial Management Applications 2026 Vol. 18 No. 17s P. 533–549
This paper asks which families of volatility forecasting models create economic value in active trading, and through which integration channel that value is transmitted. Seven models drawn from four families — econometric (GJR-GARCH, HAR-J), gradient boosting (XGBoost, LightGBM), recurrent neural networks (LSTM, GRU) and a hybrid combining HAR-J with boosting — are compared on the ...

Comparative Study of Training Methods and Architectures of Echo State Networks
Androsov I., Proceedings of the Institute for System Programming of the RAS 2026 Vol. 38 No. 3 P. 87–114
This paper examines echo state networks (ESNs), one of the most prevalent approaches to implementing reservoir computing. An ESN consists of a recurrent neural network with fixed (untrained) weights and a readout layer that is typically linear and trainable. This approach enables the creation of energyefficient and computationally efficient neural networks capable of real-time learning. However, since ...

Using a Recurrent Neural Network To Inform the Use of Prostate- specific Antigen (PSA) and PSA Density for Dynamic Monitoring of the Risk of Prostate Cancer Progression on Active Surveillance
Sushentsev N., Abrego L., Colarieti A. et al., EUROPEAN UROLOGY OPEN SCIENCE 2023 Vol. 52 P. 36–39
The global uptake of prostate cancer (PCa) active surveillance (AS) is steadily increasing. While prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) is an important baseline predictor of PCa progression on AS, there is a scarcity of recommendations on its use in follow-up. In particular, the best way of measuring PSAD is unclear. One approach would be to use ...

Self-supervised recurrent depth estimation with attention mechanisms
Makarov I., Bakhanova M., Nikolenko S. et al., PeerJ Computer Science 2022 Vol. 8 Article e865
Depth estimation has been an essential task for many computer vision applications, especially in autonomous driving, where safety is paramount. Depth can be estimated not only with traditional supervised learning but also via a self-supervised approach that relies on camera motion and does not require ground truth depth maps. Recently, major improvements have been introduced ...

Source code processing heavily relies on the methods widely used in natural language processing (NLP), but involves specifics that need to be taken into account to achieve higher quality. An example of this specificity is that the semantics of a variable is defined not only by its name but also by the contexts in which ...

Deep learning approach for predicting functional Z-DNA regions using omics data
Beknazarov N., Jin S., Poptsova M., Scientific Reports 2020 Vol. 10 P. 19134
Computational methods to predict Z-DNA regions are in high demand to understand the functional role of Z-DNA. The previous state-of-the-art method Z-Hunt is based on statistical mechanical and energy considerations about B- to Z-DNA transition using sequence information. Z-DNA CHiP-seq experiment results showed little overlap with Z-Hunt predictions implying that sequence information only is not ...

Bayesian Sparsification of Recurrent Neural Networks
Lobacheva E., Chirkova N., Vetrov D., , in: 1st Workshop on Learning to Generate Natural Language, International Conference on Machine Learning.: [б.и.], 2017. P. 1–8.
Recurrent neural networks show state-of-the-art results in many text analysis tasks but often require a lot of memory to store their weights. Recently proposed Sparse Variational Dropout (Molchanov et al., 2017) eliminates the majority of the weights in a feed-forward neural network without significant loss of quality. We apply this technique to sparsify recurrent neural ...

SEARNN: Training RNNs with global-local losses
Leblond R., Alayrac J., Osokin A. et al., , in: Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR 2018).: [б.и.], 2018. P. 1–16.
We propose SEARNN, a novel training algorithm for recurrent neural networks (RNNs) inspired by the "learning to search" (L2S) approach to structured prediction. RNNs have been widely successful in structured prediction applications such as machine translation or parsing, and are commonly trained using maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). Unfortunately, this training loss is not always an ...
