‘Our Result Was Recognised Not Only Within the Project Defence but Also on International Scale’

This year, the European AI Conference (ECAI 2025) accepted an article titled ‘Multi-Agent Path Finding for Large Agents is Intractable’ by Artem Agafonov, a second-year student of the Applied Mathematics and Information Science Bachelor’s programme at HSE University’s Faculty of Computer Science. The work was co-authored by Konstantin Yakovlev, Head of the Joint Department with Intelligent Technologies of System Analysis and Management at the Federal Research Centre ‘Informatics and Management’ of the RAS and Associate Professor at the Faculty of Applied Sciences. In the interview, Artem Agafonov explained how he came up with the idea for the article and how he was able to present it at an A-level conference.

Faculty of Computer Science to Offer Courses during HSE Summer University

Computer Science programme of the Summer University provides unique opportunities for students from around the world. The programme covers various topics in Computer Science from purely theoretical to applied and practical. Theoretical side of the programme includes both a detailed introduction to the theory of computations and more advanced topics in Artificial Intelligence and Statistical Diagnosis. Practical aspects of the programme are tightly integrated with theoretical material. Participants of the programme will have an opportunity to apply the new knowledge in their own programming experience, for example, in processing of natural languages, creating a distributed computing system or implementing a compiler for a programming language.
