Artificial intelligence is a working tool based on a balanced combination of algorithms and engineering. Experts and doctoral students from the HSE Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics explain how AI technologies can improve an application, device, or system, and what engineering tasks are solved in the process.
Whatever task Saraa Ali, Junior Research Fellow at the Laboratory of Methods for Big Data Analysis (LAMBDA) of the AI and Digital Science Institute (HSE Faculty of Computer Science), is working on, she thinks about how it can benefit people. She told the Young Scientists of HSE University project about her large family, diagnosing three-phase motors, and her dream of building a children’s home in her native country.
The Dunning–Kruger effect, which describes a sharp surge in self-confidence among beginners followed by an equally rapid decline as they gain experience, can be explained by the nature of the learning process and the acquisition of new knowledge. This conclusion was reached by Andrey Vorchik of the HSE Faculty of Economic Sciences together with independent researcher Murat Mamyshev. They developed a mathematical model of learning and demonstrated how subjective confidence is formed and changes as knowledge accumulates, as well as how teachers can reduce the ‘valley of despair’ experienced by learners.

The purpose of this study was to systematically investigate language comprehension in individuals with left and
right temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) at different language levels— single word (noun and verb), sentence, and discourse.
Neither of the groupswith TLE showed difficulties with noun comprehension, whereas verb comprehension
performance was significantly lower in individuals with left, but not right TLE ...

This paper explores language comprehension and production in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy, a neurological
disorder characterized by an epileptogenic focus near language areas or their homologues in the brain. Behavioral studies have shown that language processing in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy could be impaired across language domains — from single words to discourse. Neuroimaging ...

The goal of the present study was to investigate speech comprehension in patients with left or right temporal epilepsy at three language levels: single words, sentences and discourse. According to the results, no difference was found between patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and healthy Russian speakers in single word comprehension. However, patients with temporal lobe ...
