‘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.

Accuracy of Rats in Discriminating Visual Objects Is Explained by the Complexity of Their Perceptual Strategy

Current Biology. 2018. Vol. 28. No. 7. P. 1005–1015.
Djurdjevic V., Ansuini A., Bertolini D., Macke J. H., Zoccolan D.

As the popularity of rodents in the vision research continues to grow, some questions remain unanswered. One of the key questions is - can rodents perform a "proper" higher level vision task such as object recognition. In our paper we present the new research findings which demonstrate that, despite having much poorer visual abilities compared to humans or monkeys, rats are capable of advanced processing of shape information, making them an ideal candidate for investigating the neuronal underpinnings of visual object recognition and other high-level visual functions

Universal Comparison Methodology for Hough Transform Approaches
Kazimirov D., Vitalii Gulevskii, Kroshnin A. et al., Mathematics 2026 Article 1136
The Hough transform (HT) is widely used in computer vision, tomography, and neural networks. Numerous algorithms for HT computation have been proposed, making their systematic comparison essential. However, existing comparative methodologies are either non-universal and limited to certain HT formulations, or task-oriented, relying on application-specific criteria that do not fully capture algorithmic properties.

Sweet-taste liking is associated with preference for less risky and immediate rewards in economic decision-making
Anna Davidovich, Anna N. Shestakova, Arzumanyan N. et al., Frontiers in Psychology 2026 Vol. 17 Article 1764306
Background:  Delay discounting refers to the tendency to choose sooner, smaller rewards over larger, later rewards. Many previous studies link this tendency positively to reward sensitivity, yet the specific mechanisms behind this association remain poorly understood. Reward sensitivity may relate to delay discounting through at least three possible pathways: increased sensitivity to reward size, increased sensitivity ...
