Researchers Develop Method for Direct Generation of Regulatory DNA

Researchers at HSE University have developed a model for generating promoters and enhancers—DNA sequences that regulate gene activity. The model works directly with DNA nucleotides, without first transforming them into a continuous numerical representation. This solution could be useful for applications in synthetic biology and gene therapy. The study results were presented at the ICLR 2026 Workshop ‘Generative AI in Genomics (Gen^2): Barriers and Frontiers.’

Social Integration: At the Crossroads of Knowledge and Values

The International Laboratory for Social Integration Research (ILSIR) at HSE University studies the challenges faced by vulnerable groups and explores ways to help them participate fully in everyday life. To develop effective solutions, the laboratory’s researchers combine cutting-edge methods with practical fieldwork. In this interview with the HSE News Service, Laboratory Head Elena Iarskaia-Smirnova discusses the laboratory’s work.

Black-Box Testing of Financial Virtual Assistants

P. 684–685.

Itkin I., Treshcheva E., Konnova L., Braslavski P., Yavorskiy R.

We propose a hybrid technique of black-box testing of virtual assistants (VAs) in the financial sector. The specifics of the highly regulated industry imposes numerous limitations on the testing process: GDPR and other data protection requirements, the absence of interaction logs with real users, restricted access to internal data, etc. These limitations also decrease the applicability of a few VA testing methods that are widely described in the research literature. The approach suggested in this paper consists of semi-controlled interaction logging from the trained testers and subsequent augmenting the collected data for automated testing.

Method of Performance Analysis of Time-Critical Applications Using DB-Nets

Rigin A., Shershakov Sergey Andreevich, Proceedings of the Institute for System Programming of the RAS 2021 Vol. 33 No. 3 P. 109–122

These days, most of time-critical business processes are performed using computer technologies. As an example, one can consider financial processes including trading on stock exchanges powered by electronic communication protocols such as the Financial Information eXchange (FIX) Protocol. One of the main challenges emerging with such processes concerns maintaining the best possible performance since any ...
