‘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.

Banking the Unbanked: Innovative Business Models Championing the Financial Inclusion of Latin America’s MoP

Ch. 6. P. 157–192.
Eileen D., Ljubica J.
Editor of translation: C. Alvaro, M. Miguel

In this chapter, we present business opportunities emerging from the problems faced by the large number of the unbanked in the middle-income population of LAC. We continue by elaborating the challenges facing companies tackling these opportunities, and we provide a series of case studies presenting innovative solutions used by successful companies as solutions to these challenges. We complete the chapter by providing constructive conclusions and recommendations for practitioners, with emphasis on the opportunity in attending to the unbanked, who lack access to credit to make the purchases they aspire to and need but don’t have the means.

Information Flow in Times of Crisis: The Case of the European Banking and Sovereign Sectors
Dungey M., Hurn S., Shi S. et al., Econometrics 2019 P. 1–20
Crises in the banking and sovereign debt sectors give rise to heightened financial fragility. Of particular concern is the development of self-fulfilling feedback loops where crisis conditions in one sector are transmitted to the other sector and back again. We use time-varying tests of Granger causality to demonstrate how empirical evidence of connectivity between the banking and sovereign sectors ...

A mixed-integer network DEA with shared inputs and undesirable outputs for performance evaluation: Efficiency measurement of bank branches
Omrani H., Oveysi Z., Emrouznejad A. et al., Journal of the Operational Research Society 2023 Vol. 74 No. 4 P. 1150–1165
Conventional DEA performs like a “black box” and provides no information about sub-processes. In some cases, such as banks, providing services is made up of interactive and interdependent processes. Also, in real world applications, inputs could be shared among these sub-processes. Moreover, due to the characteristics of some variables, such as number of employees, only integer values could be assigned to ...
