Two HSE University Projects Receive Support for Commercialisation

Two HSE University Projects Receive Support for Commercialisation
At the end of August 2024, the first projects to receive funding as part of the commercialisation support measure were announced. Starting in September 2024, two projects from the HSE Faculty of Computer Science — CardioLife and Melange — were selected for financial support to aid in the commercialisation of their products and services, enabling them to enter the market.

Try Your Hand at Predicting the 2024 Nobel Prize Winner in Economics

Like many laureates before her, Claudia Goldin signed a chair at the laureates' Get together at the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm on 6 December 2023.
The Faculty of Economic Sciences is launching its annual prediction contest. On October 14, the Nobel Committee will announce the winners of the Sveriges Riksbank Alfred Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences live on air. You have time to prepare and explore the landscape of contemporary economic thought. What topics and areas are considered particularly important and promising at the moment? Anyone can win.

Beauty in Details: HSE University and AIRI Scientists Develop a Method for High-Quality Image Editing

Andy Warhol. Marilyn Diptych, 1962
Researchers from theHSE AI Research Centre, AIRI, and the University of Bremen have developed a new image editing method based on deep learning—StyleFeatureEditor. This tool allows for precise reproduction of even the smallest details in an image while preserving them during the editing process. With its help, users can easily change hair colour or facial expressions without sacrificing image quality. The results of this three-party collaboration were published at the highly-cited computer vision conference CVPR 2024.

HSE Scientists Have Examined Potential Impact of Nuclear Power on Sustainable Development

HSE Scientists Have Examined Potential Impact of Nuclear Power on Sustainable Development
Researchers at HSE University have developed a set of mathematical models to predict the impact of nuclear power on the Sustainable Development Index. If the share of nuclear power in the global energy mix increases to between 20% and 25%, the global Sustainable Development Index (SDI) is projected to grow by one-third by 2050. In scenarios where the share of nuclear power grows more slowly, the increase in the SDI is found to be lower. The study has been published in Nuclear Energy and Technology.

‘We Bring Together the Best Russian Scientists and AI Researchers at HSE University Site’
On October 25–26, 2024, HSE University’s AI and Digital Science Institute and the AI Research Centre hold the Fall into ML 2024 conference in Moscow. This year’s event will focus on the prospects in development of fundamental artificial intelligence, with SBER as its conference title partner.

Neural Network for Assessing English Language Proficiency Developed at HSE University

Neural Network for Assessing English Language Proficiency Developed at HSE University
The AI Lingua Neural Network has been collaboratively developed by the HSE University’s AI Research Centre, School of Foreign Languages, and online campus. The model has been trained on thousands of expert assessments of both oral and written texts. The system evaluates an individual's ability to communicate in English verbally and in writing.

HSE Scientists Have Developed a New Model of Electric Double Layer

HSE Scientists Have Developed a New Model of Electric Double Layer
This new model accounts for a wide range of ion-electrode interactions and predicts a device's ability to store electric charge. The model's theoretical predictions align with the experimental results. Data on the behaviour of the electric double layer (EDL) can aid in the development of more efficient supercapacitors for portable electronics and electric vehicles. The study has been published in ChemPhysChem

Psychologists from HSE University Discovered How Love for Animals Affects Relationships with People

Psychologists from HSE University Discovered How Love for Animals Affects Relationships with People
Researchers from HSE University have identified a connection between attachment to pets and attitudes toward nature and other people. The study found that the more joy people derive from interacting with their pets, the more they want to help others. However, love for animals is not always associated with concern for nature. The findings were published in the Social Psychology and Society journal.
