Group and Shuffle: Researchers at HSE University and AIRI Accelerate Neural Network Fine-Tuning

Group and Shuffle: Researchers at HSE University and AIRI Accelerate Neural Network Fine-Tuning
Researchers at HSE University and the AIRI Institute have proposed a method for quickly fine-tuning neural networks. Their approach involves processing data in groups and then optimally shuffling these groups to improve their interactions. The method outperforms alternatives in image generation and analysis, as well as in fine-tuning text models, all while requiring less memory and training time. The results have been presented at the NeurIPS 2024 Conference.

When Thoughts Become Movement: How Brain–Computer Interfaces Are Transforming Medicine and Daily Life

When Thoughts Become Movement: How Brain–Computer Interfaces Are Transforming Medicine and Daily Life
At the dawn of the 21st century, humans are increasingly becoming not just observers, but active participants in the technological revolution. Among the breakthroughs with the potential to change the lives of millions, brain–computer interfaces (BCIs)—systems that connect the brain to external devices—hold a special place. These technologies were the focal point of the spring International School ‘A New Generation of Neurointerfaces,’ which took place at HSE University.

‘We Demonstrated That HSE University Can Not Only Build a Satellite, but Maintain Its Operation’

CubeSX-Sirius-HSE Satellite
The first HSE University satellite has completed its work in orbit after more than 35,000 hours of trouble-free operation, one billion kilometres travelled (24,600 orbits around the Earth), and hundreds of full-frame shots taken of the Earth's surface across an area of 320,000 km2.

Researchers from HSE University in Perm Teach AI to Analyse Figure Skating

Researchers from HSE University in Perm Teach AI to Analyse Figure Skating
Researchers from HSE University in Perm have developed NeuroSkate, a neural network that identifies the movements of skaters on video and determines the correctness of the elements performed. The algorithm has already demonstrated success with the basic elements, and further development of the model will improve its accuracy in identifying complex jumps.
