Sharing research results

This year, our International Center for Decision Analysis and Choice at the National Research University Higher School of Economics celebrates its 15th anniversary. This HSE division carries out work that is at the forefront of scientific research in various fields, and we also interact a lot with various universities around the world. And almost every year we hold schools such as the autumn school “Advances in Decision Analysis”. Its goal is for scientists to learn what is being done in science around the world. Science is not Russian or American, English, science is international, it is aimed at the benefit of all humanity. We must constantly exchange research results. And within the framework of the school, we receive the very latest scientific work of the highest level. This is of great importance for our students and teachers. Lagging behind is dangerous, and our school exists to prevent it.

Comfortable format

The online format is convenient for our school. During Covid, we mastered this technology because people could not travel. In the current political situation, there are also restrictions, but the respect for our school is very high, so many foreign colleagues agreed to give presentations online. As part of the autumn school, we made several broadcasts on the Internet, which were joined by participants from various universities in Russia and around the world.

List of speakers

The first speaker was Professor Arunava Sen, one of India’s leading scientists who works at the Indian Statistical Institute. Some schools in India have an excess supply of teachers, while others have a shortage, and the speaker explained how to effectively reassign teachers, taking into account their wishes and the needs of the schools. Then Ahmed Alkan from Sabanci University, Turkey, one of the largest specialists in the field of generalized matchings, spoke – also completely new work related to representing these matchings in the form of lattices. The next speaker, Mario Guarracino from the University of Cassino, Italy, gave an amazing overview of neural network analysis methods and how neural networks operate. Eric Maskin, an employee of our center and a Nobel laureate, also spoke; I was delighted by his work on classical voting models. But he made very significant progress here. Alexey Myachin, also our employee, gave a report on completely new models in pattern analysis. This is a direction that has been developing for us for 20 years. Very high-quality new results have been obtained. The next talk is by Michel Grabisch from the Panthéon-Sorbonne University in Paris, who spoke about the possibility of generating linear orders. Then Vladimir Makarenkov, head of the bioinformatics department at the University of Quebec in Montreal, Canada, spoke about bioinformatics and practical applications. One of the world’s leading experts in the field of data analysis, Boris Mirkin, also spoke, who spoke about new models of K-means algorithms for data analysis. Colleagues from Sberbank Dzhangir Dzhangirov and Andrey Vashevnik spoke about large linguistic models and new visions for risk assessments.
