HSE Scientists Develop Method to Compress Large Language Models Without Losing Quality
Researchers from the AI and Digital Science Institute at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science have developed a new compression method for large language models such as GPT and LLaMA that reduces their size by 25–36% without additional training or significant loss of accuracy. This is the first approach to use mathematical transformations—specifically, rotations of model weights—to make models more amenable to compression with structured matrices. The study results have been published in ACL Findings 2025. The code is available on GitHub.

Unraveling the Complexities of Motor Imagery and Its Impact on the Brain's Capabilities

P. 140 – 143.
Perevoznyuk G., Ragimova A., Batov A., Пономарева Д. С., Саламатин М. И., Feurra M.

This study is dedicated to identifying differences in 4 types of motor imagery: first-person visual imagery, third-person visual imagery, kinesthetic imagery and sensory imagery. The research task includes Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) over the motor cortex, during which Motor Evoked Potentials over 3 arm muscles will be measured. Also, correlations will be calculated between MEP amplitude and motor imagery vividness, as well as with some individual characteristics of the subjects (such as depression, anxiety, handedness, footedness, alexithymia and tendency for maladaptive daydreaming).
