When Pictures Hinder Understanding: Illustrations May Impede Learning of Abstract Ideas
Illustrations can help remember specific actions but do not always make abstract ideas easier to learn. Researchers from HSE University and Humboldt University compared how people learn from texts with different levels of abstractness. They found that participants remembered illustrations better and performed better on related tasks after reading a multimedia text about yoga asanas than after reading an abstract text about the Nash equilibrium. The findings could help improve the selection of illustrations for educational and informational materials. The study has been published in Learning and Instruction.

'I Wish That People Would Place Greater Trust in Science'
When Tatiana Eremicheva chose Fundamental and Computational Linguistics as her field of study, she thought it would be about learning languages. Instead, she discovered it was about helping people. In this interview for the HSE Young Scientists project, she discusses science as a way of understanding the world, billiards as a team-building activity, and why learning to read is not always as easy as it seems.

Immunity to Chaos: How Personal Resources Help Us Cope with the Challenges of a Turbulent World
International conflicts, crises and digital overload—the modern world puts our minds to the test every day. Traditional psychology often focuses on the consequences: anxiety, depression, and psychosomatic disorders. But what if we looked at the problem differently—through the lens of the resources that prevent us from breaking down? Psychological immunity is precisely this set of resources. Alena Zolotareva and her group, Psychological Immunity as a Resource for Positive Functioning, are developing an integrative model of this phenomenon, adapting diagnostic tools and preparing for large-scale empirical research. Why do psychologists need to collaborate with medical professionals, and how could their research transform preventive care in clinics and corporations?

Automated detection of wolf howls using audio spectrogram transformers
Makarov N., Savchenko A., Zemtsova I. et al., Scientific Reports 2025 Vol. 15 Article 26641
The grey wolf (Canis lupus) is a pivotal species for ecological studies. As a key participant in ecosystem processes, it also serves as a model for investigating social structure formation and ecological adaptation. However, the species’ complex social behavior, spatial dynamics, and expansive habitats make monitoring and population assessments across large areas particularly challenging. In recent years, audio traps ...

Multimodal graph, surface, and language-based model for protein protein interaction prediction
Arteaga Moreano B. D., Chervov N., Poptsova M., Scientific Reports 2026 Vol. 16 No. 1 Article 4772
Accurate prediction of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) is fundamental to understanding biological processes and disease mechanisms. While deep learning offers a powerful alternative to costly experimental methods, existing approaches often overlook critical protein-surface information and rely on simplistic feature fusion techniques, thereby limiting performance. To address this, we introduce GSMFormer-PPI, a novel multimodal framework that integrates ...

Segmentation of Vertebral Arteries on the MR Images
Prikhodko R., Moshkin A., Romanov A., , in: 2025 International Russian Automation Conference (RusAutoCon).: IEEE, 2025. P. 273–278.
The vertebral arteries are one of the most important sources of blood supply to the brain, therefore any pathological changes in them can be the reason behind serious diseases. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) allows diagnosticians to examine main arteries, which is exceptionally important for effective diagnosis. However, because of the small size of arteries relative ...

Analyzing the Robustness of Vision & Language Models
Shirnin A., Andreev N., Potapova S. et al., IEEE/ACM Transactions on Speech and Language Processing 2024 Vol. 32 P. 2751–2763
We present an approach to evaluate the robustness of pre-trained vision and language (V&L) models to noise in input data. Given a source image/text, we perturb it using standard computer vision (CV) / natural language processing (NLP) techniques and feed it to a V&L model. To track performance changes, we explore the problem of visual ...

Grammar in Language Models: BERT Study
Chistyakova K., Kazakova Tatiana, / NRU HSE. Series WP BRP "Linguistics". 2023. No. 115.
The problem of language models’ interpretation is extensively inspected, but no universal answers have been found. Our study offers to combine widely accepted probing methods with a novel approach to a neural network under investigation. We propose to break grammatical forms on the pre-training step in order to get two "sibling" models, as it casts ...

Medical research has made tremendous progress in detecting various pathologies in the human body. There is still the problem of the speed of the process, and the lack of a sufficient number of trained professionals in this field. Detection of prostate cancer, in particular, without surgery is a very labor- intensive process. A neural network-based ...

Many traffic accidents happen on the roads every day and a lot of them are captured on traffic or dashboard cameras. This data could be used to train machine learning models to predict dangerous situations so that they can be prevented. For that, it should be organized into datasets.

CrowdChecked: Detecting Previously Fact-Checked Claims in Social Media
Hardalov M., Chernyavskiy A., Koychev I. et al., , in: Proceedings of the 2nd Conference of the Asia-Pacific Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics and the 12th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing (Volume 1: Long Papers).: Association for Computational Linguistics, 2022. P. 266–285.
While there has been substantial progress in developing systems to automate fact-checking, they still lack credibility in the eyes of the users. Thus, an interesting approach has emerged: to perform automatic fact-checking by verifying whether an input claim has been previously fact-checked by professional fact-checkers and to return back an article that explains their decision. ...

Fine-Tuning Transformers: Vocabulary Transfer
Samenko I., Tikhonov A., Kozlovskii B. et al., / Series Computer Science "arxiv.org". 2021.
Transformers are responsible for the vast majority of recent advances in natural language processing. The majority of practical natural language processing applications of these models is typically enabled through transfer learning. This paper studies if corpus-specific tokenization used for fine-tuning improves the resulting performance of the model. Through a series of experiments, we demonstrate that ...
