HSE Researchers Show How Congenital Motor Disorders Affect Brain Development
Researchers from HSE University’s Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience have synthesised the findings of their previous studies on brain development in children with obstetric brachial plexus palsy and arthrogryposis. Their analysis shows that impaired motor function in early childhood not only limits children’s motor experience but also affects memory, categorical thinking, and information processing. The study has been published in Frontiers in Psychology.

Window into the Body: Scientists Develop Neural Network to Detect Risk of 15 Diseases from Retinal Images
Russian universities, with the participation of HSE University, Sber, and Z-union, have developed a neural network that can simultaneously assess the risk of 15 types of pathology from retinal photographs, including not only eye diseases but also cardiovascular conditions. The AI system can help clinicians detect potentially concerning changes at an early stage, identify signs reflecting the condition of retinal blood vessels, and determine whether a patient may need further examination. The paper has been published in Frontiers in Medicine.

'We Did Not Limit the Time for Questions'
The International Laboratory for Supercomputer Atomistic Modelling and Multi-Scale Analysis at HSE University held a major conference on molecular dynamics. Participants had the opportunity to attend all the presentations, while speakers were given as much time as they needed to answer questions. The HSE News Service interviewed Grigory Smirnov, Head of the Laboratory, and Genri Norman, Chief Research Fellow, about the conference preparations and the discussions it generated.

Efficient Incorporation of New Interactions in Graph Recommenders via Folding-In
Yusupov V., Sukhorukov N., Frolov E., User Modelling and User-Adapted Interaction 2026 Vol. 36 Article 2
Graph-based recommender systems have emerged as a powerful paradigm for personalized recommendations. However, their reliance on full model retraining to incorporate new users or new interactions creates scalability barriers. The task becomes infeasible in real-life recommender systems due to excessive time and resource costs involved. To address this limitation, we propose a fast and efficient ...

Autoregressive generation strategies for Top-K sequential recommendations
Anna Volodkevich, Danil Gusak, Klenitskiy A. et al., User Modelling and User-Adapted Interaction 2025 No. 35 Article 13
The goal of modern sequential recommender systems is often formulated in terms of next-item prediction. In this paper, we explore the applicability of transformer-based generative models for the Top-K sequential recommendation task, where the goal is to predict items that a user is likely to interact with in the “near future.” This goal aligns with ...

Your Transformer is Secretly Linear
Razzhigaev A., Mikhalchuk M., Goncharova E. et al., , in: Proceedings of the 62nd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (Volume 1: Long Papers) 2024Vol. 1: Long Papers.: Bangkok: Association for Computational Linguistics, 2024. P. 5376–5384.
This paper reveals a novel linear characteristic exclusive to transformer decoders, including models like GPT, LLaMA, OPT, BLOOM and others. We analyze embedding transformations between sequential layers, uncovering an almost perfect linear relationship (Procrustes similarity score of 0.99). However, linearity decreases when the residual component is removed, due to a consistently low transformer layer output ...

Transformer-based Multi-Party Conversation Generation using Dialogue Discourse Acts Planning
Alexander Chernyavskiy, Ilvovsky D., , in: Proceedings of the 24th Meeting of the Special Interest Group on Discourse and Dialogue.: Association for Computational Linguistics, 2023. P. 519–529.
Recent transformer-based approaches to multi-party conversation generation may produce syntactically coherent but discursively inconsistent dialogues in some cases. To address this issue, we propose an approach to integrate a dialogue act planning stage into the end-to-end transformer-based generation pipeline. This approach consists of a transformer fine-tuning procedure based on linearized dialogue representations that include special ...

Recent transformer-based approaches to NLG like GPT-2 can generate syntactically coherent original texts. However, these generated texts have serious flaws: global discourse incoherence and meaninglessness of sentences in terms of entity values. We address both of these flaws: they are independent but can be combined to generate original texts that will be both consistent and ...
