Scientists Create Open Dataset for Studying Concentration
A team of Russian researchers, including scientists from HSE University–St Petersburg, has developed the first open multimodal dataset containing recordings of brain activity, heart function, and video observations to help researchers understand what happens in the human brain during deep concentration. In the future, the dataset could accelerate the development of neural interfaces, rehabilitation technologies, and AI systems. The article has been published in Scientific Data.

Gaussian processes with multidimensional distribution inputs via optimal transport and Hilbertian embedding

Electronic journal of statistics. 2020. Vol. 14. No. 2. P. 2742–2772.
Bachoc F., Suvorikova A., Ginsbourger D., Loubes J., Spokoiny V.

In this work, we propose a way to construct Gaussian processes indexed by multidimensional distributions. More precisely, we tackle the problem of defining positive definite kernels between multivariate distributions via notions of optimal transport and appealing to Hilbert space embeddings. Besides presenting a characterization of radial positive definite and strictly positive definite kernels on general Hilbert spaces, we investigate the statistical properties of our theoretical and empirical kernels, focusing in particular on consistency as well as the special case of Gaussian distributions. A wide set of applications is presented, both using simulations and implementation with real data.

Maps preserving two small values of λ-th upper scrambling index
Kulev Y., Maksaev A., Promyslov V., Linear Algebra and its Applications 2026 Vol. 730 P. 51–72
The notion of λ-th upper scrambling index was introduced by Huang and Liu in 2010, as a generalization of a notion considered by Akelbek and Kirkland in 2009. For a primitive digraph D, it is defined as the smallest positive integer k such that for every λ vertices of D there exist directed paths of lengths k from these vertices to a common vertex. This ...

On the Matchings-Jack and Hypermap-Jack Conjectures for Labelled Matchings and Star Hypermaps
Kanunnikov A., Promyslov V., Vassilieva E., Electronic Journal of Combinatorics 2024 Vol. 31 No. 3 Article P3.6
Introduced by Goulden and Jackson in their 1996 paper, the matchings-Jack conjecture and the hypermap-Jack conjecture (also known as the b-conjecture) are two major open questions relating Jack symmetric functions, the representation theory of the symmetric groups and combinatorial maps. They show that the coefficients in the power sum expansion of some Cauchy sum for ...

Knowledge graphs are widely used in Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and Explainable AI (XAI), since they can illustrate semantic relationships generated by Large Language Models (LLMs). Recent studies focus on generating knowledge graphs from unstructured data to improve RAG performance; however, they do not explain the underlying graph structure. The analysis of synthetic graphs behind ...

From hyperbolic to complex Euler integrals
Spiridonov V. P., Belousov N. M., Sarkissian G. A., Analysis and Mathematical Physics 2026 Vol. 16 Article 96
Hyperbolic hypergeometric integrals are defined as Barnes-type integrals of products of hyperbolic gamma functions. Their reduction to ordinary hypergeometric functions is well known. We study in detail their degeneration to complex hypergeometric functions. Namely, using uniform bounds on the integrands, we prove that the univariate hyperbolic beta integral and the conical function degenerate to two-dimensional ...

Mathematical methods of reinforcement learning
Belomestny D., Gasnikov A., Gladin E. et al., Russian Mathematical Surveys 2026 Vol. 81 No. 4(490) P. 3–90
Reinforcement learning (RL) is increasingly grounded in tools from probability, optimization, and operator theory. This survey organizes the mathematical structures that underpin the design and analysis of modern algorithms in RL. We begin from Markov decision processes (MDPs) and the Bellman operators, emphasizing contraction mappings, monotonicity, and fixed-point theory that yield convergence guarantees and rates ...

Sums Related to Euler's Totient Function
A. Radomskii, Mathematical notes 2026 Vol. 119 No. 6 P. 1136–1147
We obtain an upper bound for the sum $\sum_{n\leq N} (a_{n}/\varphi (a_{n}))^{s}$, where $\varphi$ is Euler's totient function, $s\in\mathbb{N}$, and $a_{1},\ldots, a_{N}$ are positive integers (not necessarily distinct) with some restrictions. As applications, for any $t>0$, we obtain an upper bound for the number of $n\in [1,N]$ such that $a_{n}/ \varphi (a_{n})> t$. ...

This paper addresses the challenge of merging hierarchical navigable small world (HNSW) graphs, a critical operation for distributed systems, incremental indexing, and database compaction. We propose three algorithms for this task: Naive Graph Merge (NGM), Intra Graph Traversal Merge (IGTM), and Cross Graph Traversal Merge (CGTM). These algorithms differ in their approach to vertex selection ...

EEG evidence for reproducible neural states during Buddhist Highest Yoga Tantra meditation
Mikhaylets E. V., Razorenova A. М., Chernyshev V. L. et al., Scientific Reports 2026 Vol. 16 Article 23560
Meditation offers a naturalistic paradigm for studying introspection, yet the neural dynamics of advanced tantric practices remain largely unexplored. Buddhist Highest Yoga Tantra (BHYT) comprises a sequence of eight dissolution stages culminating in the “clear light” state. We recorded EEG during eyes-closed BHYT meditation performed in monasteries and hermitages (51 sessions from 36 male practitioners; ...

Global Optimisation of Black-Box Functions with Generative Models in the Wasserstein Space
Ramazyan T., Hushchyn M., Derkach D., , in: ECAI 2024. 27th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence, October 19 – 24 October 2024, Santiago de Compostela, Spain – Including 13th Conference on Prestigious Applications of Intelligent Systems (PAIS 2024).: IOS Press, 2024. P. 2394–2401.
We propose a new uncertainty estimator for gradient-free optimisation of black-box simulators using deep generative surrogate models. Optimisation of these simulators is especially challenging for stochastic simulators and higher dimensions. To address these issues, we utilise a deep generative surrogate approach to model the black box response for the entire parameter space. We then leverage ...

Surrogate uncertainty estimation for your time series forecasting black-box: learn when to trust

Machine learning models play a vital role in time series forecasting. These models, however, often overlook an important element: point uncertainty estimates. Incorporating these estimates is crucial for effective risk management, informed model selection, and decision-making.To address this issue, our research introduces a method for uncertainty estimation. We employ a surrogate Gaussian process regression model. ...

Kantorovich–Rubinstein–Wasserstein distance between overlapping attractor and repeller
Chigarev V., Kazakov A., Пиковский А., Chaos 2020 Vol. 30 No. 7 Article 073114
We consider several examples of dynamical systems demonstrating overlapping attractor and repeller. These systems are constructed via introducing controllable dissipation to prototypic models with chaotic dynamics (Anosov cat map, Chirikov standard map, and incompressible three-dimensional flow of the ABC-type on a three-torus) and ergodic non-chaotic behavior (skew-shift map). We employ the Kantorovich–Rubinstein–Wasserstein distance to characterize the ...

High extremes of Gaussian chaos processes: a discrete time approximation approach
A. I. Zhdanov, V. I. Piterbarg, Theory Probability and its Applications 2018 Vol. 63 No. 1 P. 1–21
Let $\mathbf{\boldsymbol{\xi}}(t)=(\xi_{1}(t),\ldots,\xi_{d}(t))$ be a Gaussian zero mean stationary a.s. continuous vector process. Let $g\colon{\mathbb{R}}^{d}\to {\mathbb{R}}$ be a homogeneous function of positive degree. We study probabilities of high extrema of the Gaussian chaos process $g(\mathbf{\boldsymbol{\xi}}(t))$. Important examples are products of Gaussian processes, $\prod_{i=1}^{d}\xi_{i}(t)$, and quadratic forms $\sum_{i,j=1}^{d}a_{ij}\xi_{i}(t)\xi_{j}(t)$. Methods of our studies include the Laplace saddle point ...

Let $(X(t),Y(t))$, $t\ge0$, be a zero-mean stationary Gaussian vector process with a covariance functions for components $r_i(t)$ satisfying Pickand's condition $r_i(t)=1-c_i|t|^{\alpha_i}(1+o(1))$, $t\to 0$, $c_i>0$, $0<\alpha_i\le2$, $i=1,2.$ Let $r_i(t)<1$, $i=1,2$, $t>0.$ Assuming that $r\equiv {\bf E}\,X(t)Y(t)\in(-1,1)$ and $\lim_{t,s\rightarrow0}({\bf E}\,X(t)Y(s)-r)/|t-s|^{\min(\alpha_1,\alpha_2)}$ exists, we study the behavior of probability ${\bf P}(\max_{t\in\lbrack0,p]}X(t)Y(t)>u)$ as $u\rightarrow\infty$ for any $p$.
