The AI Journey international conference hosted a session led by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko highlighting the achievements of Russian research centres in artificial intelligence. Alexey Masyutin, Head of the HSE AI Research Centre, showcased the centre’s key developments. 

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 University, in collaboration with Sber, have conducted a foresight study on artificial intelligence (AI). Its early results were discussed by the participants of a strategic foresight session on exploratory research in AI, held at the Coordination Centre of the Russian Government, headed by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko. The results from the foresight study will inform the Unified Research and Development Programme in the Field of AI.

The HSE Artificial Intelligence Centre has developed software for modelling radio channels in 5G and 6G wireless networks, based on ray tracing and machine learning techniques. Their software solutions enable modelling radio wave propagation between transmitters and receivers and can convert ray tracing data into a frame sequence format, configure and train neural networks based on this data, and subsequently save the trained models. 

Researchers from the HSE AI Research Centre have built a system for the automated control of manual operations, which finds application in industrial production. The system facilitates the process of monitoring objects and actions, as well as controlling the quality of their execution.

Two researchers from the HSE Faculty of Computer Science—Aibek Alanov, Junior Research Fellowat the Centre of Deep Learning and Bayesian Methods, Research Fellow at AIRI; and Pavel Braslavski, Associate Professor, Senior Research Fellow at the Laboratory for Models and Methods of Computational Pragmatics—are among the winners of the 2023Yandex ML Prize (formerly the Ilya Segalovich Award).

Staff members of the HSE Faculty of Computer Science will present 12 of their works at the 37th Conference and Workshop on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS), one of the most significant events in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning. This year it will be held on December 10–16 in New Orleans (USA).

On November 17-19, The HSE Faculty of Computer Science, SBER and cloud technology provider Cloud.ru organised HSE Sber ML Hack, a hackathon based around machine learning. More than 350 undergraduate and graduate students from 54 leading Russian universities took part in the competition.

On October 26–28, HSE University’s Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Sciences at the Faculty of Computer Science will hold a conference titled Fall into ML 2023 withsupport from the HSE University AI Research Centre . The event is dedicated to promising directions of fundamental AI development.

From July 18 to October 15, 2023, the HSE University Faculty of Computer Science and AI Centre invite those interested to take part in the online Binary Super Resolution Challenge (BSRC-2023). The top 50 teams will receive prizes, and the top three will receive cash prizes.
