NRU HSE International Laboratory for Applied Network Research

Anyone interested in network science, welcome to our lab! Here we share ideas, research updates, events' news. Join us and bring a friend; let's network!

The NRU HSE International laboratory for Applied Network Research was created in the Spring of 2014, with Stanley Wasserman of Indiana as a scientific supervisor. Our general goal is development and testing of new network data analysis methods in different fields (branches of science). Network research is multidisciplinary in nature, and our lab members work in the field of mathematics, statistics, education, sociology and management. This page is designed to share our research ideas, generate discussions on the topic of network science, promote scientific events, and build a community of scholars and non-scholars interested in networks.

Я почти не пишу здесь, хотя и читаю посты друзей - так и не смогла найти нужный баланс почти два года спустя. Но исключения все-таки есть, и чаще всего они вызваны гордостью и радостью за бывших студентов и коллег.

Вот и сейчас - гордости пост за Valerii Klimov, коллегу и выпускника MASNA (самой лучшей в России программы по прикладной аналитике, и уже давно не потому, что она единственная), создателя лучшего в России (думаю, скоро будет и в мире!) приложения знакомств Twinby. Когда-то этот проект был даже не проектом, а мечтой, и мы себе такого тогда напридумывали... по нашим мечтам, старт-ап должен был стать настоящим единорогом, которых один на миллионы! Сколько таких мечт никогда не сбывается.... наша мечта стала реальностью меньше, чем за три года, и это просто невероятно.

Вот такой пост написали о Валерии руководители, преподаватели, и студенты программы. Поздравляю Валерия и прошу поддержать его кандидатуру!

***************

Выпускник MASNA Валерий Климов номинирован на "Премию выдающихся выпускников '23" ВШЭ 🤩

Валерий Климов основал быстрорастущий дейтинг-сервис Twinby, базирующийся на принципах психологической совместимости, алгоритмы работы которого были разработаны в партнерстве с НИУ ВШЭ, который всего за 6 месяцев после запуска привлек аудиторию в 2 миллиона пользователей и собравший $1.5 млн венчурных инвестиций от группы из 40 отечественных инвесторов.

При регистрации в приложении каждый пользователь проходит адаптированные научные тесты, позволяющие составить психологический портрет и определить ключевые характеристики взаимодействия с другими людьми. Математические алгоритмы высчитывают процент совместимости анкет на основе пройденных тестов и отображают результаты в ленте. Научно-исследовательские и опытно-конструкторские работы (НИОКРы) для создания этих алгоритмов были проведены на базе Международной лаборатории прикладного сетевого анализа ВШЭ по заказу Климова, а некоторые сотрудники и выпускники ВШЭ являются консультантами проекта или же получили трудоустройство в самой компании.

Поддержите Валерия и проголосуйте за него в категории "Прорыв года" здесь (https://alumni.hse.ru/awards/polls/876753705.html).

Congratulations to ANR-Lab research assistant Aryuna Kim on being accepted into the Young Faculty Support Program (Group of Young Academic Professionals) to the "New Researchers" category.

The Group of Young Academic Professionals (https://academics.hse.ru/hipo/about) is a program to support the professional development of teachers and researchers at the initial and transitional stages of their academic careers. The program involves participation in field seminars, internships in world research centers, and academic English courses. In addition, young professionals receive a scholarship and can participate in competitions for financial support of initiative projects.

To be admitted to the Young Faculty Support Program, an employee must be recommended by their department and meet the requirements for one of three categories: New Researchers, New Teachers, and Future Professors. For the “New Researchers” category, Aryuna was enrolled; it was necessary to provide a preprint in a foreign language. Accordingly, Aryuna provided a preprint with the results of her joint study with Daria Maltseva of the Russian sociological online community: Stability evaluation of the Russian sociologists online community: 2011-2018 years (https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.08756).

We wish Aryuna successful completion of the program and the rapid development of her academic career!

ANR-Lab research assistant and MASNA student Maria Vorobeva have started her student exchange program in KU Leuven for the spring semester (from January to July)

We asked Maria a few questions about the selection at a university-wide competition and her expectations from the semester abroad.

🔹What was the competition like? Did you receive a scholarship?

The competition was eight people per place. There was one place with an Erasmus scholarship and one without a scholarship. I originally went to the place without a scholarship. But after reviewing my documents, the host university granted me an Erasmus scholarship. That is, instead of one place with a scholarship for our university, it provided two. It was very unexpected.

🔹Why did you decide to participate in the exchange program?

I need an exchange program to get the required number of credits in economic disciplines to then continue my studies, receiving a Ph.D. in economics.

🔹What courses will you study at KU Leuven?

I will have about six courses. Most of the courses will be in economics. I specifically applied for those programs where I could choose economics courses. It may be difficult since these are master's courses in economics, which require economic background. But I hope that I will master it, I challenge myself.

According to The World University Rankings, KU Leuven is the Top 1 university in Belgium and Top 42 in the world https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/2022/world-ranking #!/page/0/length/25/sort_by/rank/sort_order/asc/cols/stats.

Congratulations to Maria on passing the selection process and receiving a scholarship! We wish you success!
