HSE University to Host ‘Fall into ML 2023’ Machine Learning Conference
Machine Learning (ML) is a field of AI that examines methods and algorithms that enable computers to learn based on experience and data and without explicit programming. With its help, AI can analyse data, recall information, build forecasts, and give recommendations. Machine learning algorithms have applications in medicine, stock trading, robotics, drone control and other fields.

‘The African Students Association Believes in Fostering an Inclusive and Diverse Atmosphere’
Russia is becoming an increasingly popular study destination for African students, and HSE University is actively seeking to attract more students from African countries. Bakary S. Sonko, from Gambia, is a master’s student at the Graduate School of Business and an active member of the volunteering community both at HSE University and beyond. In this interview, Bakary recounts his achievements as a volunteer and talks about how African students at HSE have built a supportive and welcoming community for each other.
‘Our University Pays Great Attention to Protecting Cultural and Historical Heritage’
The regional programme of the VI Heritage Youth Forum, co-organised by HSE University, has opened at Durasov House. The goal of the educational project by the Moscow Department of Cultural Heritage is to engage undergraduates, graduate students, and young professionals in work to preserve and integrate cultural monuments into the modern urban space.
HSE Faculty of Computer Science Launches ‘AI in Mathematical Finance’ Laboratory
At the end of September, the HSE University Faculty of Computer Science launched the laboratory ‘Artificial Intelligence in Mathematical Finance’, which brought together more than 70 participants. Representatives of the laboratory told students and staff about the key tasks and goals of the new research department.
Machines with Common Sense
'Intelligence is ten million rules,' said Douglas Lenat, one of the creators of artificial intelligence (AI). For nearly four decades, he worked to instil 'common sense' in computers, painstakingly describing hundreds of thousands of concepts and millions of relationships between them.

Mikhail Zadornov on the Russian Economy: ‘It is a Completely Different Picture’
The Russian economy has suffered due to sanctions, but has also adapted and begun to grow, compensating for last year’s losses. Mikhail Zadornov, Russia’s former Minister of Finance and member of HSE University’s Supervisory Council, spoke to students of HSE University’s International College of Economics and Finance (ICEF) about the economic situation in the country and the development of the financial sector in the new environment. The event was moderated by HSE University President and Head of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP) Alexander Shokhin. The lecture was the continuation of a series of meetings among well-known Russian practical economists and entrepreneurs and ICEF students.

Scientists Have Developed a Model of Malignant Prostate Tumour and Used It to Test Drug Efficacy
Researchers from HSE University and the Russian Ministry of Health National Medical Research Radiological Centre have successfully generated a three-dimensional laboratory model of prostate cancer and used the model for testing an anti-tumour drug. In the future, this approach has the potential to significantly enhance the efficacy of cancer treatment for patients. The study’s findings have been published in Cancer Urology.
The Brain Is a Network of Networks. Scientists Have Found a Way to Unravel Them
A team of researchers from HSE University and the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (AIRI) have demonstrated the effectiveness of the PSIICOS method they had previously developed for non-invasive mapping the neural networks in the brain based on its electrical activity. Unlike other methods, it does not search for individual neuronal sources to be then combined into networks but instead looks directly for the functional networks of interconnected neuronal populations—and does so swiftly and accurately. The study findings have been published in NeuroImage.
