HSE Researchers Show How Congenital Motor Disorders Affect Brain Development
Researchers from HSE University’s Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience have synthesised the findings of their previous studies on brain development in children with obstetric brachial plexus palsy and arthrogryposis. Their analysis shows that impaired motor function in early childhood not only limits children’s motor experience but also affects memory, categorical thinking, and information processing. The study has been published in Frontiers in Psychology.

Window into the Body: Scientists Develop Neural Network to Detect Risk of 15 Diseases from Retinal Images
Russian universities, with the participation of HSE University, Sber, and Z-union, have developed a neural network that can simultaneously assess the risk of 15 types of pathology from retinal photographs, including not only eye diseases but also cardiovascular conditions. The AI system can help clinicians detect potentially concerning changes at an early stage, identify signs reflecting the condition of retinal blood vessels, and determine whether a patient may need further examination. The paper has been published in Frontiers in Medicine.

'We Did Not Limit the Time for Questions'
The International Laboratory for Supercomputer Atomistic Modelling and Multi-Scale Analysis at HSE University held a major conference on molecular dynamics. Participants had the opportunity to attend all the presentations, while speakers were given as much time as they needed to answer questions. The HSE News Service interviewed Grigory Smirnov, Head of the Laboratory, and Genri Norman, Chief Research Fellow, about the conference preparations and the discussions it generated.

Exploring Semantic Concreteness and Abstractness for Metaphor Identification and Beyond

P. 33–47.
Badryzlova Y.

The paper presents a method for computing indexes of semantic concreteness and abstractness in two languages (Russian and English). These indexes are used in metaphor identification experiments in both languages; the results are either comparable to or surpass pervious work and the baselines. We analyze the obtained indexes of concreteness and abstractness to see how they align with the linguistic intuitions about the corresponding semantic categories. The results of the analysis may have broader implications for computational studies of the semantics of concreteness and abstractness.

Scalable machine learning approach to disordered s-wave superconductors
Неверов В. Д., Красавин А. В., Vagov A. et al., Physical Review B: Condensed Matter and Materials Physics 2026 Vol. 113 P. 1–6
We develop a neural network approach to solve the self-consistent Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations in strongly disordered s-wave superconductors. The method accurately reproduces inhomogeneous gap distributions and generalizes to system sizes far larger than those used in training. It reduces computational scaling from O(N6 ) to O(N2), enabling quantitative analysis of percolation phenomena and the superconductor-insulator ...

Can Humor Reveal Dark Personalities? Machine-Learning Detection of the Dark Tetrad
Glinkina L. S., Doptan E., Kosonogov V., Journal of Individual Differences 2026 No. 47(3) P. 132–143
This study investigates a novel method for assessing Dark Tetrad personality traits (Machiavellianism, Narcissism, Psychopathy, Everyday Sadism) through humor evaluation. Traditional self-report measures are limited by response biases, creating a need for indirect behavioral assessment. We hypothesized that individual differences in these traits would correlate with distinct patterns in evaluating visual humor (funniness, perceived kindness/cruelty, ...

Measuring the semantic priming effect across many languages
Buchanan E., Cuccolo K., Heyman T. et al., Nature Human Behaviour 2025 Vol. 10 No. 1 P. 182–201
Semantic priming has been studied for nearly 50 years across various experimental manipulations and theoretical frameworks. Although previous studies provide insight into the cognitive underpinnings of semantic representations, they have suffered from small sample sizes and a lack of linguistic and cultural diversity. In this Registered Report, we measured the size and the variability of ...

In this work, we developed a straightforward data-driven approach to predict the cytotoxicity of metal complexes based entirely on their (metal + ligands) composition. To this end, we have manually curated MetalCytoToxDB─a comprehensive experimental database comprising 26,500 IC50 values for 7050 metal complexes against 754 cell lines from 1921 articles. Based on these, machine learning ...

Artificial intelligence plays a significant role in automation, minimizing human intervention in fields such as medicine, art, and law. Despite the historically close relationship between art and technology, generative AI has expanded the potential for creative activity. A significant catalyst for this process has been the proliferation of pre-trained AI systems, which have accelerated the ...

Textual metaphtonymy as opposed to lexical metaphtonymy
Trofimova N., Pesina S., Vinogradova S. et al., Brazilian Journal of Education, Technology and Society - BRAJETS 2025 Vol. 17 No. 3 P. 126–136
n this article, we have proposed to differentiate textual and lexical metaphtonymy as different phenomena. We have considered the phenomenon of metaphtonymy at the level of text, a chain of words the length of a sentence, a phrase, and a separate meaning. We propose to reserve the term “metaphtonymy” for cases when we are talking ...
