‘Science Is Universal-It Knows No Borders
Fuad Aleskerov, Tenured Professor and Director of the International Centre of Decision Choice and Analysis at HSE University, together with his colleagues, has developed methods of network analysis in bibliometrics that have made it possible to identify patterns in the appearance and citation of publications in academic journals, as well as their influence on each other. When one or a number of studies are frequently cited by a wide range of journals, this is an indicator that the research is of high quality. By contrast, extensive cross-citation within a limited group of journals increases the likelihood of identifying a network of predatory publications.

Rank‑Turbulence Delta and interpretable approaches to stylometric Delta measures
Dmitry Pronin, Evgeny Kazartsev, Digital Scholarship in the Humanities 2026 P. 1–15
This article repositions Burrows’s Delta as a flexible family of distance measures for exploratory and unsupervised stylometry, where interpretability and stability are as important as predictive accuracy. We introduce two probabilistic extensions, Rank-Turbulence Delta and Jensen–Shannon Delta, by reinterpreting uncentred standardized word-frequency vectors as non-negative representations that can be normalized into probability distributions and compared ...

Mechanistic Permutability: Match Features Across Layers
Balagansky N., Maximov I., Gavrilov D., , in: Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR 2025).: ICLR, 2025. P. 57940–57957.
Understanding how features evolve across layers in deep neural networks is a fundamental challenge in mechanistic interpretability, particularly due to polysemanticity and feature superposition. While Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) have been used to extract interpretable features from individual layers, aligning these features across layers has remained an open problem. In this paper, we introduce SAE Match, ...

LLM-Microscope: Uncovering the Hidden Role of Punctuation in Context Memory of Transformers
Anton R., Mikhalchuk M., Rahmatullaev T. et al., , in: Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: NAACL 2025.: Association for Computational Linguistics, 2025. P. 7757–7764.
We introduce methods to quantify how Large Language Models (LLMs) encode and store contextual information, revealing that tokens often seen as minor (e.g., determiners, punctuation) carry surprisingly high context. Notably, removing these tokens — especially stopwords, articles, and commas — consistently degrades performance on MMLU and BABILong-4k, even if removing only irrelevant tokens. Our analysis ...

The study is devoted to the humans and artificial intelligence (AI) interaction. The authors view this interaction as mediated by interfaces that both simplify it and hide the real mechanisms of encoding and decoding messages (according to Shannon). In such a situation, the characteristics of the actor of communication are blurred, and it is not ...

User-controllable Multi-texture Synthesis with Generative Adversarial Networks
Alanov A., Kochurov M., Volkhonskiy D. et al., , in: Proceedings of the 15th International Joint Conference on Computer Vision, Imaging and Computer Graphics Theory and Applications (VISAPP 2020)Vol. 4.: SciTePress, 2020. P. 214–221.
We propose a novel multi-texture synthesis model based on generative adversarial networks (GANs) with a user-controllable mechanism. The user control ability allows to explicitly specify the texture which should be generated by the model. This property follows from using an encoder part which learns a latent representation for each texture from the dataset. To ensure ...

A Simple Method to Evaluate Support Size and Non-uniformity of a Decoder-Based Generative Model
Struminsky K., Vetrov D., Lecture Notes in Computer Science 2019 Vol. 11832 P. 81–93
Theoretical analysis in [1] suggested that adversarially trained generative models are naturally inclined to learn distribution with low support. In particular, this effect is caused by the limited capacity of the discriminator network. To verify this claim, [2] proposed a statistical test based on the birthday paradox that partially confirmed the analysis. In this paper, ...

We propose a way to simulate Cherenkov detector response using a generative adversarial neural network to bypass low-level details. This network is trained to reproduce high level features of the simulated detector events based on input observables of incident particles. This allows the dramatic increase of simulation speed. We demonstrate that this approach provides simulation ...

Consider a continuous word embedding model. Usually, the cosines between word vectors are used as a measure of similarity of words. These cosines do not change under orthogonal transformations of the embedding space. We demonstrate that, using some canonical orthogonal transformations from SVD, it is possible both to increase the meaning of some components and ...
