‘Our Team Consists of True Leaders in Their Respective Academic Disciplines
The HSE International Centre of Decision Choice and Analysis studies a wide range of methods for analysing decision-making and possible scenarios for the development of natural, socio-economic, and political phenomena using various mathematical models. The application of advanced mathematical methods to forecasting helps to prevent negative outcomes and avoid erroneous decisions. The HSE News Service spoke to the centre’s director, Prof. Fuad Aleskerov, about its work.

International N5 Symposium ‘Neural Networks and Nonlinearity in Nizhny Novgorod Brings Together Scientists from Russia and Serbia
The International N5 Symposium ‘Neural Networks and Nonlinearity in Nizhny Novgorod’ was held at the Nizhny Novgorod House of Scientists from September 23 to 26. The event was organised by HSE University–Nizhny Novgorod and the Nizhny Novgorod House of Scientists, with the participation of Sberbank and the Institute of Physics Belgrade. The symposium was held for the second time: the first conference took place in 2025 and attracted considerable interest from the academic community.

‘The Climate Transition Is Not Necessarily a Limitation for Business
Linara Khadimullina works in the field of low-carbon development. In an interview with the Young Scientists of HSE project, she spoke about why nature is not just a beautiful backdrop, her research on the role of sustainable corporate governance in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and growing plants as a source of inspiration.

Least-squares consensus clustering versus: (a) other consensus approaches and (b) k-means

.
Mirkin B., Andrey Shestakov

We develop a consensus clustering framework proposed three decades ago in Russia and experimentally demonstrate that our least squares consensus clustering algorithm consistently outperforms several recent consensus clustering methods.

This paper reports of theoretical and computational results related to an original concept of consensus clustering involving what we call the projective distance between partitions. This distance is defined as the squared difference between a partition incidence matrix and its image over the orthogonal projection in the linear space spanning the other partition incidence matrix. ...

Optimizing connectivity-driven brain parcellation using ensemble clustering
Kurmukov A., Mussabaeva A., Denisova Y. et al., Brain Connectivity 2020 Vol. 10 No. 4 P. 183–194
This work addresses the problem of constructing a unified, topologically optimal connectivity-based brain atlas. The proposed approach aggregates an ensemble partition from individual parcellations without label agreement, providing a balance between sufficiently flexible individual parcellations and intuitive representation of the average topological structure of the connectome. The methods exploit a previously proposed dense connectivity representation, ...

The paper covers mathematical and heuristic approaches for solution the image restoration problem. Attention is paid to the least squares method, least absolute deviations, Tikhonov regularization, total variation, Wiener and Kalman filters, as well as matched filter. A description of a new method for constructing the maximum likelihood estimate is given. Such heuristic approaches as ...

A Lattice-based Consensus Clustering Algorithm

We propose a new algorithm for consensus clustering, FCA-Consensus, based on Formal Concept Analysis. As the input, the algorithm takes T partitions of a certain set of objects obtained by k-means algorithm after T runs from different initialisations. The resulting consensus partition is extracted from an antichain of the concept lattice built on a formal ...

Summary and semi-average similarity criteria for individual clusters
Mirkin B., , in: Models, Algorithms, and Technologies for Network AnalysisVol. 59.: NY: Springer, 2013. P. 101–126.
There exists much prejudice against the within-cluster summary similarity criterion which supposedly leads to collecting all the entities in one cluster. This is not so if the similarity matrix is pre-processed by subtraction of ``noise'', of which two ways, the uniform and modularity, are mentioned in the paper. Another criterion under consideration is the semi-average ...

Individual approximate clusters: methods, properties, applications
Mirkin B., , in: Rough Sets, Fuzzy Sets, Data Mining, and Granular ComputingIssue 8170: Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence.: Heidelberg: Springer, 2013. P. 26–37.
A least-squares data approximation approach to finding individual clusters is advocated. A simple local optimization algorithm leads to suboptimal clusters satisfying some natural tightness criteria. Three versions of an iterative extraction approach are considered, leading to a portrayal of the cluster structure of the data. Of these, probably most promising is what is referred to ...
