Doctoral Student at HSE University Reveals Hidden Layout of Ancient Parion
İdil Malgil, a researcher at HSE University, conducted a UAV-based LiDAR survey of the ancient Roman city of Parion in present-day Turkey. The high density of the scans allowed the team to detect subtle terrain features concealed beneath the ground and vegetation. The survey revealed traces of entire neighbourhoods, terraced structures, and walls that had remained invisible during routine excavations and could not be identified through aerial photography. The findings have been published in Ancient Civilizations from Scythia to Siberia.

Neurolinguists Assist in Awake Surgery on 11-Year-Old Patient with Epilepsy
Researchers at the HSE Centre for Language and Brain took part in a rare awake neurosurgical procedure performed on an 11-year-old patient with drug-resistant epilepsy. Working alongside surgeons at the Voyno-Yasenetsky Centre of Specialised Medical Care for Children in Solntsevo, they monitored the resection of a portion of the left temporal lobe, where the epileptic focus had been identified.

Organizing Contexts as a Lattice of Decision Trees for Machine Reading Comprehension

P. 75–87.
Galitsky B., Ilvovsky D., Goncharova E.

Supported decision trees that have been first proposed to boost the performance and the explainability of the expert systems built upon the texts can become a great basis for the machine reading comprehension (MRC) systems. The supported decision tree is based on building and combining the corresponding discourse trees for the text passage. In this work, we build an environment of supported decision trees for the MRC task. Each answer is represented by a path of a supported decision tree and the whole corpus of answers is then form a lattice of supported decision trees. This environment gives a boost to MRC performance, handling cases where it is nontrivial to determine which document/passage MRC needs to be applied to.

In Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), concept reduction serves as an important means of simplification. The application scenarios of concept reduction cover various aspects such as data mining, knowledge discovery, strategic decision-making, and rule learning. For symmetric formal contexts, a specialized class of concept reduction exists that can fully recover all knowledge. However, most existing concept ...

In this paper we introduce and study description quivers as compact representations of concept lattices and respective ensembles of decision trees. Formally, description quivers are directed multigraphs where vertices represent concept intents and (multiple) edges represent generators of intents. We study some properties of description quivers and shed light on their use for describing state-of-the-art symbolic machine ...

Studies on Explainable Artificial Intelligence show that a model should be small in order to be human understandable. The restriction on the size of a model drastically reduces the space of possible solutions. Many rule learning models still rely on greedy algorithms for generating ensembles of decision trees. This paper discusses FCA-inspired mathematical and engineering ...

On the Decision Tree Complexity of Threshold Functions
Chistopolskaia A., Podolskii V. V., Theory of Computing Systems 2022
In this paper we study decision tree models with various types of queries. For a given function it is usually not hard to determine the complexity in the standard decision tree model (each query evaluates a variable). However in more general settings showing tight lower bounds is substantially harder. Threshold functions often have non-trivial complexity ...
