Neural Network Maps as a Method for Constructing Mathematical Models
Scientists from HSE University–Nizhny Novgorod and the Institute of Physics Belgrade, Serbia, are jointly exploring the application of machine learning techniques and neural networks to the study of nonlinear dynamics. Natalya Stankevich, Leading Research Fellow at the Laboratory of Topological Methods in Dynamics of the Faculty of Informatics, Mathematics, and Computer Science at HSE University–Nizhny Novgorod, spoke to the HSE News Service about this international project.

‘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.

On Suboptimality of GreConD for Boolean Matrix Factorisation of Contranominal Scales

P. 87–98.
Ignatov D. I., Yakovleva A.

In this paper we study certain properties of the GreConD algorithm for Boolean matrix factorisation, a popular technique in Data Mining with binary relational data. This greedy algorithm was inspired by the fact that the optimal number of factors for the Boolean matrix factorisation can be chosen among the formal concepts of the correspond- ing formal context. In particular, we consider one of the hardest cases (in terms of the numerous of possible factors), the so-called contranominal scales, and show that the output of GreConD is not optimal in this case. Moreover, we formally analyse its output by means of recurrences and generating functions and provide the reader with the closed form for the returned number of factors. An algorithm generating the optimal num- ber of factors and the corresponding product matrices P and Q is also provided by us for the case of contranominal scales.

The model described in this article imitates two processes simultaneously: road deterioration and road maintenance. The main assumption is that the destruction of roads depends on the betweenness centrality of the city’s graph. The ...

Formal Concept Analysis for Evaluating Intrinsic Dimension of a Natural Language
Kuznetsov S., Gromov V., Borodin N. et al., Lecture Notes in Computer Science 2023 P. 331–339
Some results of a computational experiment for determining the intrinsic dimension of linguistic varieties for the Bengali and Russian languages are presented. At the same time, both sets of words and sets of bigrams in these languages were considered separately. The method used to solve this problem was based on formal concept analysis algorithms. It ...

On the Number of Maximal Antichains in Boolean Lattices for 𝑛 up to 7
Ignatov D. I., Lobachevskii Journal of Mathematics 2023 No. 44 P. 137–146
We consider two ways how to compute the number of maximal antichains in the Boolean lattice on 𝑛 elements. The first one is based on full direct enumeration, while the second ones relies on concept lattices or Galois lattices (studied in Formal Concept Analysis, an applied branch of lattice theory) and the Dedekind–MacNeille completion of a partial ...

Intrinsically Interpretable Document Classification via Concept Lattices
Parakal E. G., Kuznetsov S., , in: Proceedings of the 10th International Workshop "What can FCA do for Artificial Intelligence?"Vol. 3233.: CEUR Workshop Proceedings, 2022. Ch. 2 P. 9–22.
Explanations for the predictions made by Machine Learning (ML) models are best framed in terms of abstract, high-level concepts that are easily comprehensible to human beings. The use of such concepts constitutes a subfield of interpretability methods known as concept-based explanations. This work uses concept-based explanations to build an intrinsically interpretable document classifier using a combination of Formal Concept ...

Constellations and τ-functions for rationally weighted hurwitz numbers
Harnad J., Runov B. A., Annales de l'Institut Henri Poincare (D) Combinatorics, Physics and their Interactions 2021 Vol. 8 No. 1 P. 119–158
Weighted constellations give graphical representations of weighted branched coverings of the Riemann sphere. They were introduced to provide a combinatorial inter-pretation of the 2D Toda τ-functions of hypergeometric type serving as generating functions for weighted Hurwitz numbers in the case of polynomial weight generating functions. The product over all vertex and edge weights of a ...

We show that the multivariate generating function of appropriately normalized moments of a measure with homogeneous polynomial density supported on a compact polytope P subset of R-d is a rational function. Its denominator is the product of linear forms dual to the vertices of P raised to the power equal to the degree of the ...

We consider a cooperative game based on a network in which nodes represent players and the characteristic function is defined using a maximal covering by the pairs of connected nodes. Problems of this form arise in many applications such as mobile communications, patrolling, logistics and sociology. The Owen value, which describes the significance of each node in the network, ...

Topology of nerves and formal concepts
Ayzenberg A., / Series arXiv "math". 2019.
The general goal of this paper is to gather and review several methods from homotopy and combinatorial topology and formal concepts analysis (FCA) and analyze their connections. FCA appears naturally in the problem of combinatorial simplification of simplicial complexes and allows to see a certain duality on a class of simplicial complexes. This duality generalizes ...

Cluster assessment remains one of the most actual problems in data mining.

The new approach incorporates easily expert understanding of “interestingness” of clusters and does not require pre-defined parameters and thresholds. The subset ...
