Scientists Develop Algorithm for Accurate Financial Time Series Forecasting
Researchers at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science benchmarked more than 200,000 model configurations for predicting financial asset prices and realised volatility, showing that performance can be improved by filtering out noise at specific frequencies in advance. This technique increased accuracy in 65% of cases. The authors also developed their own algorithm, which achieves accuracy comparable to that of the best models while requiring less computational power. The study has been published in Applied Soft Computing.

Fair Division: How Mathematics Helps to Divide the Indivisible
How can items be allocated among participants so that no one feels short-changed? Alexander Karpov, Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Economic Sciences, and his Singaporean colleague, Prof. Warut Suksompong, set out to find a mathematical answer to this question. In this interview, they discuss how a model of rational preferences is constructed, why one cannot rely on a simple sum of values, and where an algorithm that asks a minimal number of questions can be useful.

Electronics of the Future: Why Superconductors and Spintronics Work Together
It was once believed that superconductivity and magnetism avoided each other like the devil avoids holy water. However, modern nanostructures prove the opposite. A Russian theoretical physicist and Indian experimentalists have joined forces to create the electronics of the future—free from energy losses. Nataliya Pugach, Professor at the School of Electronic Engineering at HSE MIEM and Leading Research Fellow at the Quantum Nanoelectronics Laboratory, explains how a long-standing acquaintance in Cambridge grew into a mirror laboratory project with the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay), how superconducting spintronics works, and what surprises a researcher in India beyond the university campus.

Symbolic Interaction as a Sociology of Concern: Revisiting the Theory of Reflexivity Methodologically
Zaichenko L., Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour 2026 Vol. 56 No. 1
This paper attempts to revisit the critical realist theory of reflexivity, derived from the pragmatist tradition of symbolic interactionism (SI). It discusses how interactionist sociology, with its emphasis on investigating microstructures through meaning‐making, has formed a critical realist theory of reflexivity that serves as a theoretical bridge between the micro and macro levels—specifically, between ‘subjective ...

This study adopts a sensitive ethnographic lens to examine how bodily sensations relate to sociality, of- fering insight into the social order of the marketplace and an individual’s position within it. What markers evoke comfort ...

Balatsyuk E., Володин Д. М., ИНТЕРакция. ИНТЕРвью. ИНТЕРпретация 2025 Т. 17 № 3 С. 79–95
The article addresses the problem of delineating the boundaries of research subjectivity in the course of ethnographic work. Separating the roles of the researcher-as-fieldworker and the researcher-as-theorist is proposed as a methodological experiment that enables a deeper analysis of empirical material. As an empirical case, the authors draw on observation diaries collected during fieldwork in ...

Promoting the inclusion, rights and participation of diverse young people is a global policy and practice challenge.
