HSE University and Nauka Publishers Join Forces to Advance Science Communication and Creative Economy
HSE University and Nauka Publishers have signed a cooperation agreement. Nauka Publishers, Russia’s oldest scientific publishing house, which will celebrate its 300th anniversary next year, is also one of the largest in the world. Under the agreement, the parties will work together to promote the results of HSE University’s research and to advance science communication.
The parties agreed to organise joint events—such as seminars, conferences, round tables, and symposiums—and to implement collaborative projects, expeditions, and research initiatives.
One of the key areas of cooperation will be will be support for the promotion of Creative Industries R&D, a scientific journal headed by its editor-in-chief Tatiana Rivchun, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Creative Industries and Director of the Institute for Creative Industries Development at HSE University.
'Our agreement envisions the promotion of Creative Industries R&D within both the academic community and the real sector of the economy. Advancement of the creative industries is currently one of the priorities of government policy. In this context, highlighting the results of research through Creative Industries R&D is an important shared objective,' according to Mikhail Fomin, Head of Nauka Publishers.
Modern science is inconceivable without scientific journals, which serve as the primary platform for publishing, reviewing, and archiving research, Tatiana Rivchun emphasises. 'Scientific journals have long played a key role in disseminating knowledge, validating research, and shaping the scientific community. Today, in the era of digitalisation, traditional journals continue to fulfil this role while adapting to open access and new formats of scholarly communication. For this reason, we have launched Creative Industries R&D, a new academic journal where we plan to publish articles by researchers from around the world in both Russian and English. The journal will be of interest not only to scholars specialising in the creative industries but also to a broader audience interested in the development of this integral sphere of modern society,' she said.
Creative Industries R&D is devoted to the study of mechanisms, methodologies, trends, and developments in the creative economy. The journal is intended for researchers, practitioners, educators, and students interested in understanding the role of creativity in driving global GDP growth through the advancement of the creative economy.

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.
Machine Learning Models Can Help Reduce Volatility and Boost Stock Market Returns
The use of machine learning models makes it possible to achieve greater accuracy in predicting risks in the Russian stock market compared to classical econometric approaches. The predictive power of these models increases by 23%, while the average investor’s return can reach up to 13% per annum. These conclusions were drawn by Nikita Lysenok from the Department of Financial Market Infrastructure at the HSE Faculty of Economic Sciences. The paper has been published in Fundamental and Applied Mathematics.
HSE Study Reveals Imbalance in the Generative AI Market
Researchers at HSE University analysed how effectively the global generative artificial intelligence market converts investment into real revenue, concluding that AI is currently developing faster than it is paying off. The results have been published in the journal Foresight and STI Governance.
‘Entering Robotics Now Means Growing with the Area’
Unmanned vehicles, courier robots, and smart speakers are rapidly becoming a part of our lives. In 2026, the HSE Faculty of Computer Science opens its new Bachelor’s Programme ‘Design of Intelligent Robotic Systems’ (DIRS). It will train specialists at the intersection of IT, artificial intelligence, and robotics. Academic Supervisor of DIRS Vadim Morgachev explains how studies are organised and why graduates of the programme ‘will definitely be accepted into the future.’
HSE Scientists Train Neural Network to 'Hear' Faults in Electric Motors
Researchers at the AI and Digital Science Institute of the HSE Faculty of Computer Science have developed a new method—the Signature-Guided Data Augmentation (SGDA) framework—that achieves 99% accuracy in motor fault detection and 86% accuracy in fault classification. The application of this approach can reduce industrial equipment repair costs, minimise downtime, and improve production safety. The study results have been published in Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence.
MIEM Tech Day at Pokrovka: Exploring HSE’s Engineering DNA Together
On May 26, 2026, the central atrium of the building at 11 Pokrovsky Bulvar will host the annual large-scale festival of engineering developments created by project teams from the HSE Tikhonov Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics (HSE MIEM). The programme includes presentations of the best student technological projects, stands from partner companies and joint workshops, a lecture series featuring practising engineers, a round table on the development of engineering education, and presentations of MIEM master’s degree programmes.
HSE Students Among Winners of Yandex High-Tech Startup Accelerator
Yandex has announced the results of its Yandex AI Startup Lab accelerator, whose final round featured 12 IT projects. Over the course of three months, their creators—students and young entrepreneurs—worked alongside the company’s experts to develop their products. Four startups in digital marketing, medicine, and robotics were named the best, with their teams receiving cash prizes and cloud resource grants. Among them was Gradius, a startup founded by students from HSE University.
Researchers Find More Effective Approach to Revealing Majorana Zero Modes in Superconductors
An international team of researchers, including physicists from HSE MIEM, has demonstrated that nonmagnetic impurities can help more accurately reveal Majorana zero modes—quantum states considered promising building blocks for quantum computing. The researchers found that these impurities shift the energy levels that typically obscure the Majorana signal, while leaving the mode itself largely unaffected, thereby making its spectral peak more distinct. The study has been published in Research.
New Development by HSE Scientists Helps Design Reliable Electronics Faster at a Lower Cost
Scientists from HSE MIEM have developed a new approach to modelling electrothermal processes in high-power electronic circuits on printed circuit boards (PCB). The method allows engineers to quickly and accurately predict how electronic components heat up during operation, helping prevent overheating and potential failures. The results have been published in Russian Microelectronics.
The Future of Cardiogenetics Lies in Artificial Intelligence
Researchers from the AI and Digital Science Institute at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science have developed a program capable of analysing regions of the human genome that were previously inaccessible for accurate interpretation in genetic testing. The program adapts large generative AI (GenAI) models for cardiogenetics to predict how specific mutations affect the function of individual genes.
