The HSE International Centre of Decision Choice and Analysis studies a wide range of methods for analysing decision-making and possible scenarios for the development of natural, socio-economic, and political phenomena using various mathematical models. The application of advanced mathematical methods to forecasting helps to prevent negative outcomes and avoid erroneous decisions. The HSE News Service spoke to the centre’s director, Prof. Fuad Aleskerov, about its work.
The International N5 Symposium ‘Neural Networks and Nonlinearity in Nizhny Novgorod’ was held at the Nizhny Novgorod House of Scientists from September 23 to 26. The event was organised by HSE University–Nizhny Novgorod and the Nizhny Novgorod House of Scientists, with the participation of Sberbank and the Institute of Physics Belgrade. The symposium was held for the second time: the first conference took place in 2025 and attracted considerable interest from the academic community.
Olga Blinova, Tarasov N., Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence 2022 Vol. 5 Article 1008530
This article proposes a hybrid model for the estimation of the complexity of legal documents in Russian. The model consists of two main modules: linguistic feature extractor and a transformer-based neural encoder. The set of linguistic metrics includes both non-specific metrics traditionally used to predict complexity, as well as style-specific metrics developed in order to ...

The paper describes the metrics-based model for assessing complexity of Russian legal texts. The architecture of the model implies the use of 130 metrics divided into following categories: “basic metrics”, “readability formulas”, “words of different part-of-speech classes”, “n-grams of part-of-speech tags”, “frequency of lemmas”, “word-building patterns”, “grammes”, “lexical and semantic features, multi-word expressions”, “syntactic features”, ...
