Neural Network Maps as a Method for Constructing Mathematical Models
Scientists from HSE University–Nizhny Novgorod and the Institute of Physics Belgrade, Serbia, are jointly exploring the application of machine learning techniques and neural networks to the study of nonlinear dynamics. Natalya Stankevich, Leading Research Fellow at the Laboratory of Topological Methods in Dynamics of the Faculty of Informatics, Mathematics, and Computer Science at HSE University–Nizhny Novgorod, spoke to the HSE News Service about this international project.

‘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.

Measuring Alertness: The Readiness of a Social Group to Participate in Protest Activity

P. 1–5.
Akhremenko A. S., Yureskul E., Petrov A.

In this paper, we propose a theory-based measure of alertness, the ability of a protest event to facilitate further contentious activity and attract higher numbers of protesters for further events. Our measure allows to pinpoint key features of contentious events and distinguish protest that leads to political instability. We use political protest in Ukraine as an empirical example to demonstrate our measure’s sensitivity to protest scale, activity and the nature of protesters’ demands

THe book by Benjamin Nathans suggests an innovative approach to the study of Soviet dissidence of the 1960s and 1970s . Political protest is presented as a multifaceted communication in which such important concepts as freedom, law, civil rights, responsibility, and political participation are redefined between the dissidents, repre- sentatives of party and state power, ...

Agent-Based Model of Protest Campaign with Dynamic Network
Petrov A., Sergey Zheglov, Akhremenko A. S., , in: 2024 17th International Conference on Management of Large-Scale System Development (MLSD).: IEEE, 2024. Ch. 1 P. 1–4.
Agent-based models on networks most often assume static networks. However, in some contexts political science provides arguments that the dynamical character of the network should be taken into account. Specifically, during a protest campaign, new social ties between the participants may occur. Here we present an agent-based model of protest campaign and some numerical experiments with it. It is shown that ...

Протестные студенческие движения в странах Латинской Америки. На примере Венесуэлы, Мексики, Чили
Клещенко Л. Л., Латинская Америка 2021 № 1 С. 22–34
Данное исследование посвящено изучению роли студенческих движений в странах Латинской Америки на современном этапе. За минувшее десятилетие молодежные протесты потрясли многие государства континента.

Помимо таких традиционных требований, как расширение доступа к образованию, студенты последовательно выступают за демократизацию политического процесса в своих странах. ...

Отключение интернета как теоретическая проблема политической науки, или что мы (не) понимаем в сетевой протестной мобилизации
Akhremenko A. S., Полис. Политические исследования 2024 № 2 С. 118–134
The influence of Internet communication on “street” protest activity is the focus of this paper. In recent years, there has been some stagnation in this area of research: a shortage of breakthrough works that indicate new research directions or at least significantly strengthen the empirical foundation of already established hypotheses. The paradox is that when ...

Petrov A., Sergey Zheglov, Akhremenko A. S., , in: 16th International Conference Management of large-scale system development (MLSD).: IEEE, 2023. Ch. 1 P. 1–5.
The paper studies protest campaigns consisting of both days with protest activity and days without activity. A dynamical agent-based model has been constructed. Numerical experiments showed that repression reduces the surviving probability of the campaign, but moderate repression may increase the turnout for the campaigns that survive. ...

Semyonov A., Snarski Y., Tkacheva T., Социологические исследования 2024 № 2 С. 62–74
The environmental movement in Russia has been a most institutionalized form of collective action. Originating from the Soviet period and gaining momentum in late 1980s, it survived the 1990s’ dramatic transformations as well as the changes in political opportunity structure in the 2000–2010s. Extant scholarship on environmental activism in Russia has been largely focused on ...

Dual Identity in Repressive Contexts: An Agent-Based Model of Protest Dynamics
Alexander Petrov, Andrei Akhremenko, Sergey Zheglov, Social Science Computer Review 2023 Vol. 41 No. 6 P. 2249–2273
Protest campaign movements are often carried out by coalitions rather than by homogeneous groups. Accordingly, an opposition member has both a narrow partisan identity and a broad allopposition identity. Seeking to prevent mass political participation, autocracies can repress protesters regardless of their group membership or apply the “divide and conquer” principle, targeting specific groups. Any ...
