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.

Reconstruction of manifold embeddings into Euclidean spaces via intrinsic distances

ESAIM - Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations. 2024. Vol. 30. Article 3.
Nikita Puchkin, Vladimir Spokoiny, Eugene Stepanov, Trevisan D.

We consider the problem of reconstructing an embedding of a compact connected Riemannian manifold in a Euclidean space up to an almost isometry, given the information on intrinsic distances between points from its “sufficiently large” subset. This is one of the classical manifold learning problems. It happens that the most popular methods to deal with such a problem, with a long history in data science, namely, the classical Multidimensional scaling (MDS) and the Maximum variance unfolding (MVU), actually miss the point and may provide results very far from an isometry; moreover, they may even give no bi-Lipshitz embedding. We will provide an easy variational formulation of this problem, which leads to an algorithm always providing an almost isometric embedding with the distortion of original distances as small as desired (the parameter regulating the upper bound for the desired distortion is an input parameter of this algorithm).

Kh. Kh. Abdullin, D. B. Mokeev, D. S. Taletskii, Mathematical notes 2026 Vol. 119 No. 1 P. 3–7
By the Ramsey number R(K1,s,Pt) one means the least positive integer n such that, for every n-vertex graph G, the following condition holds: either G contains a vertex of degree at least s or the complement of G contains a simple t-path. In this paper, we fi nd precise values of R(K1,s,Pt) for certain values ...

TreeDQN: Sample-efficient off-policy reinforcement learning for combinatorial optimization
Sorokin D., Kostin A., Savchenko L. et al., Knowledge-Based Systems 2026 Vol. 348 Article 116258
A convenient approach to optimally solving combinatorial optimization tasks is the Branch-and-Bound method. Its branching heuristic can be learned to solve a large set of similar tasks. The promising results here are achieved by the recently appeared on-policy reinforcement learning method based on the tree Markov Decision Process. To overcome its main disadvantages, namely, very large training time ...

Microbial diversity and production of milk spirit using traditional Buryat fermentation and distillation technologies
Namsaraev Z., Kozlova A., Toshchakov S., Scientific Reports 2026 Vol. 16 No. 17769
Distilled fermented milk beverages are rare in food technology, despite the global prevalence of plant-based spirits. Currently, the production of distilled strong alcoholic beverages from fermented milk using traditional technologies is known only among Mongolic-speaking peoples and their Siberian neighbors. This study provides the first interdisciplinary analysis of darasun, a traditional Buryat spirit made from fermented ...

Artificial intelligence and digital twins for failure prediction in data center cooling systems: a comprehensive literature review (2018–2026)
Hushchyn M., Butorova A., Bobakov V. et al., European Physical Journal: Special Topics 2026 P. 1–19
This paper presents a review of artificial intelligence (AI) methods for failure prediction in data center cooling systems, with a focus on the integration of digital twins (DTs), physics-informed learning, and graph-based models. Positioned within complex network science, this review addresses a limitation of conventional graph approaches—their reliance on pairwise connectivity—whereas real-world failures often arise ...

Wave dynamics within the Whitham-Ostrovsky equation
Flamarion M. V., Pelinovsky E., Nonlinear Dynamics 2026 Vol. 114 Article 784
In this article, we investigate wave packet and solitary wave dynamics in the Whitham–Ostrovsky (WO) equation. By means of a multiple-scales expansion, we formally derive a nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation governing the envelope evolution.The corresponding modulational stability diagram is then obtained using the Lighthill criterion. We show that sufficiently large values of the low-frequency dispersive term render ...

On structural stability of 3-diffeomorphisms with the Smale solenoid attractor–repeller dynamics
Medvedev T. V., Pochinka O., Chaos 2026 Vol. 36 No. 6 Article 063107
We consider 3-diffeomorphisms with source–sink dynamics where Smale solenoids play the role of the source and the sink (NSSS-diffeomorphisms). It is known that such diffeomorphisms exist only on lens spaces. On the 3-sphere, every NSSS-diffeomorphism is associated with an exchangeable braid. An exchangeable braid with the strand number n was constructed for each n   3 in such a way ...

A model exhibiting all possible types of hyperbolic chaos on the 2-torus
Kazakov A., Mints D., Petrova I. et al., Chaos 2026 Vol. 36 No. 6 Article 063112
We study hyperbolic chaotic dynamics for maps of a two-dimensional torus. We introduce a two-parameter family of diffeomorphisms which, as we show, demonstrates all types of hyperbolic chaotic dynamics that can appear in the two-dimensional case. In addition, we describe all the bifurcations responsible for the transitions between these chaotic regimes. ...

Об эквивалентности по надстройке декартовых произведений регулярных гомеоморфизмов с гомеоморфизмами Данжуа
Nozdrinova E., Pochinka O., Shmukler V., Математический сборник 2026 Т. 217 № 6 С. 71–89
Гомеоморфизмы топологических пространств называются эквивалентными по надстройке, если надстройки над ними топологически эквивалентны. В частности, топологически сопряженные гомеоморфизмы эквивалентны по надстройке. Известно, что для гомологически неприводимых гомеоморфизмов их топологическая сопряженность является необходимым и достаточным условием их эквивалентности по надстройке. Тогда как инварианты топологической сопряженности гомологически приводимых гомеоморфизмов во многих случаях являются избыточными для эквивалентности по ...

For a given metric measure space (X, d, μ) we consider finite samples of points, calculate the matrix of distances between them and then reconstruct the points in some finite-dimensional space using the multidimensional scaling (MDS) algorithm with this distance matrix as an input. We show that this procedure gives a natural limit as the number ...

Structure-adaptive Manifold Estimation
Puchkin N., Spokoiny V., Journal of Machine Learning Research 2022 Vol. 23 No. 40 P. 1–62
We consider a problem of manifold estimation from noisy observations. Many manifold learning procedures locally approximate a manifold by a weighted average over a small neighborhood. However, in the presence of large noise, the assigned weights become so corrupted that the averaged estimate shows very poor performance. We suggest a structure-adaptive procedure, which simultaneously reconstructs ...

User-controllable Multi-texture Synthesis with Generative Adversarial Networks
Alanov A., Kochurov M., Volkhonskiy D. et al., , in: Proceedings of the 15th International Joint Conference on Computer Vision, Imaging and Computer Graphics Theory and Applications (VISAPP 2020)Vol. 4.: SciTePress, 2020. P. 214–221.
We propose a novel multi-texture synthesis model based on generative adversarial networks (GANs) with a user-controllable mechanism. The user control ability allows to explicitly specify the texture which should be generated by the model. This property follows from using an encoder part which learns a latent representation for each texture from the dataset. To ensure ...

One of the ultimate goals of Manifold Learning (ML) is to reconstruct an unknown nonlinear low-dimensional Data Manifold (DM) embedded in a high-dimensional observation space from a given set of data points sampled from the manifold. We derive asymptotic expansion and local lower and upper bounds for the maximum reconstruction error in a small neighborhood ...
