Researchers Develop Methodology to Assess the Quality of Legal Representation in Criminal Proceedings
Having a good defence attorney in criminal proceedings can largely determine whether a defendant retains their freedom, health and good name. Researchers at HSE University propose a method for predicting an attorney’s performance based on the outcomes of their previous cases. The methodology takes into account the severity of the charges, the complexity of the cases, and the most likely outcome, drawing on judicial statistics.

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.

A complete complexity dichotomy of the edge-coloring problem for all sets of 8-edge forbidden subgraphs

Journal of Applied and Industrial Mathematics (перевод журналов "Сибирский журнал индустриальной математики" и "Дискретный анализ и исследование операций"). 2023. Vol. 17. No. 4. P. 791–801.
Malyshev D., Duginov O. I.

For a given graph, the edge-coloring problem is to minimize the number of colors sufficient to color all the graph edges so that any adjacent edges receive different colors. For all classes defined by sets of forbidden subgraphs, each with 7 edges, the complexity status of this problem is known. In this paper, we obtain a similar result for all sets of 8-edge prohibitions.

Some rigidity results for static three-manifolds with boundary and positive scalar curvature
Medvedev V., Annals of Global Analysis and Geometry 2026 Vol. 70 No. 2 P. 8–23
This paper studies three-dimensional compact static manifolds with boundary and positive scalar curvature. We prove that, under a suitable bound on the Ricci curvature, the orientable quotient of the Nariai static manifold with boundary  is the only such manifold with connected boundary, provided that the zero-level set of the potential is connected and does not intersect ...

The lack of annotated microscopic datasets remains a major obstacle to training robust deep learning models for microbial classification. In this paper, a novel data augmentation pipeline that uses visual–linguistic large-scale models to generate synthetic microscopic images of six different bacterial and nonbacterial classes has been proposed. Synthetic samples have gradually been added to the ...

On efficient algorithms for bottleneck path problems with many sources
Kirill V. Kaymakov, Dmitry S. Malyshev, Optimization Letters 2024 Vol. 18 P. 1273–1283
For given edge-capacitated connected graph and two its vertices s and t, the bottleneck (or max min ) path problem is to find the maximum value of path-minimum edge capacities among all paths, connecting s and t. It can be generalized by finding the bottleneck values between s and all possible t. These problems arise ...

Comparative Analysis of Logic Reasoning and Graph Neural Networks for Ontology-Mediated Query Answering with a Covering Axiom
Gerasimova O., Makarov I., Severin N., IEEE Access 2023 Vol. 11 P. 88074–88086
The problem of query answering over incomplete attributed graph data is a challenging field of database management systems and artificial intelligence. When there are rules on data structure expressed in the form of the ontology, the theoretical complexity of finding exact solution satisfying ontology constraints increases. Logic-based methods use theoretical constructions to obtain efficient rewritings ...

The discrete Fourier transform over the binary finite field
Sergei Valentinovich Fedorenko, IEEE Access 2023 Vol. 11 P. 62771–62779
The novel methods for binary discrete Fourier transform (DFT) computation over the finite field have been proposed. The methods are based on a binary trace calculation over the finite field and use the cyclotomic DFT. The direct DFT computational complexity has been reduced due to using the binary trace function over the finite field and ...

Complexity function and complexity of validity of modal and superintuitionistic propositional logics
Rybakov M., Shkatov D., Journal of Logic and Computation 2023 Vol. 33 No. 7 P. 1566–1595
We consider the relationship between the algorithmic properties of the validity problem for a modal or superintuitionistic propositional logic and the size of the smallest Kripke countermodels for non-theorems of the logic. We establish the existence, for every degree of unsolvability, of a propositional logic whose validity problem belongs to the degree and whose every ...

Complexity of finite-variable fragments of propositional temporal and modal logics of computation
Rybakov M., Shkatov D., Theoretical Computer Science 2022 Vol. 925 P. 45–60
We prove that branching-time temporal logics CTL and CTL* are polynomial-time embeddable into their single-variable fragments. It follows that satisfiability for CTL and CTL*, and therefore also for alternating-time temporal logics ATL and ATL*, in languages with one propositional variable is as algorithmically hard as satisfiability for the full logic: EXPTIME-complete for CTL and ATL, and 2EXPTIME-complete for CTL* and ATL*. We discuss applicability of the technique used in the proofs to other ...

An intractability result for the vertex 3-colourability problem
Malyshev D. S., Приставченко О. В., Optimization Letters 2022 Vol. 16 P. 1403–1409
The vertex 3-colourability problem is to decide whether the vertex set of a given graph can be split into three subsets of pairwise non-adjacent vertices. This problem is known to be NP-complete in a certain class of graphs, defined by an explicit description of allowed 5-vertex induced subgraphs in them. In the present paper, we improve this result by ...

On computational complexity of set automata
Rubtsov A. A., Vyalyi M., Information and Computation 2021 Vol. 281 Article 104797
We consider a computational model which is known as set automata. The set automata are one-way finite automata with additional storage-the set. There are two kinds of set automata-deterministic (DSA's) and nondeterministic (NSA's). The model was introduced by Kutrib, Malcher, Wendlandt in 2014. It was shown that DSA-recognizable languages look similar to DCFL's and NSA-recognizable ...

Traditionally, description logic has focused on represent- ing and reasoning about classes rather than relations (roles), which has been justified by the deterioration of the computa- tional properties if expressive role inclusions are added. The situation is even worse in the temporalised setting, where monodicity is viewed as an almost necessary condition for decidability. We ...

No-Rainbow Problem and the Surjective Constraint Satisfaction Problem
Zhuk D., , in: 2021 36th Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS).: [б.и.], 2021. P. 1–7.
The Surjective Constraint Satisfaction Problem (SCSP) is the problem of deciding whether there exists a surjective assignment to a set of variables subject to some specified constraints, where a surjective assignment is an assignment containing all elements of the domain. In this paper we show that the most famous SCSP, called No-Rainbow Problem, is NP-Hard. ...
