Results of the work of interns 2023
Anastasia Kireicheva 3nd year student of Economics
Киреечева Анастасия Дмитриевна
The year 2023 was memorable for me with interesting tasks in the Laboratory. I performed various tasks: collected data, described the results of calculations, wrote reports, translated articles and searched for information. It was interesting to attend IDlab seminars and listen to colleagues' speeches. I also liked the brown bag format, where everyone talked about their achievements, ideas and exchanged opinions.
The most interesting thing was working with ICT profiles of different companies, namely, describing calculations and interpreting results.
Mikhail Usanin, 4nd year student of Economics
During my internship I remember most of all the conferences, where I was able to get acquainted with the laboratory staff and their scientific interests, as well as to feel myself a part of the research world.
In 2023, I was able to participate in three conferences: II Student Scientific and Practical Conference named after L.L. Lyubimov (L.L. Lyubimov). L.L. Lyubimov (8.11.2023, Perm) and the Fifth Russian Economic Congress (11-15.09.2023, Yekaterinburg) with the topic: "Modeling prices in the framework of shearing economics", as well as the 10th International GSOM Economy&Management conference 2023 (3-7.10.2023, St. Petersburg) with the topic: Exploring the Evolution of ESG Reports in S&P 500 Companies: a Data-driven Analysis. An article on the topic of the presentation at the last conference is in the works and has been sent to prufriedding.
Irina Maximova, 3nd year student of Business Management
In 2023 I managed to take part in many interesting projects: to participate in the student seminar "Cooking up my first research", to take part in writing a paper and even to perform at the GSOM EMC conference in St. Petersburg. What I like most of all is that there is an opportunity to do projects together with experienced researchers and professors, to learn from them and have an unforgettable academic experience! I would like to thank the IDlab for such a unique opportunity!
Timofey Shvaya 3nd year student of HSE/NES Programme in Economics
The year 2023 in the IDlab was very eventful for me. First of all, my colleagues and I wrote a paper in which we investigated the resilience of teams to exogenous shocks on cybersports data. While working on the project, we managed to acquire and develop various skills, including data collection and processing, literature search and writing a full-fledged academic text. Over the course of a year, we went from an outline idea to a completed project that is now in the publication stage. We managed to present this article as a speaker at three conferences and workshops. The experience was very positive: I got invaluable experience of public speaking and useful feedback. In addition to this article, I had to work on other projects of the laboratory, the largest of which was an auto-classifier for BI.ZON. On it, I mainly had to do analytical work to evaluate various technologies used by competitors and present in the academic literature. It was especially memorable because it was outside the usual "economic" tasks, thus allowing me to seriously broaden my horizons in cybersecurity. To summarize, I would like to say a huge thank you to the lab and its people for the interesting challenges and support - I have learned a lot this year and hopefully will learn a lot more in the future!
Darya Usmanova, 3rd year student of Economics
Working in the laboratory as a research intern taught me a lot.
In my motivation letter there was a phrase: "I think that only by trying, you can understand what is really close to you and gives you pleasure".
At the end of my internship period in the lab, I was convinced of its truth. And I would also add "...regardless of the fear of being wrong." This is one of the key discoveries in 2023. I also gained very valuable experience in the scientific field: I participated in writing a paper, presented at the IDlab workshop, attended a conference in St. Petersburg, collected data, translated text, and participated in writing news for the IDlab's website. Many things were new, but that's what I enjoyed the later on!
Egor Ivanov, Master's student of Business Analytics
During 2023, I had time to work on a couple of strategic projects: SP1 and SP4. In the first project, my role was to create a tool to show the results of our division's work to the user - a chat bot in Telegram @skills_for_jobs_bot. This bot allows users to find out which IT profession they can expect to get with their skills or to find out the necessary skills to move to the desired IT profession. In the second project, my role was to form associative rules based on a database of technology adoption by Russian companies collected from the Internet by our IDlab. Associative rules in this context represent a probabilistic assessment of the adoption of several specific technologies by one company. The results of this work allow us to draw conclusions about the level of technological development. This project has created the basis for two research papers co-authored with other IDlab members, and they are already in the review stage.
In 2024, I entered the talent pool in the "New Researchers" program. This program provides excellent opportunities for young scientists: mentoring support for projects aimed at developing the academic environment, additional financial support, the opportunity to learn new things at field seminars, and, most importantly, to get acquainted with other similar guys from different campuses, different departments, doing research in different disciplines. So far I have only been to the first, introductory, retreat in New Moscow at the Voronovo Center. It was interesting to get to know the vision of current problems of the university among different speakers!
Ekaterina Marmysh
Speaking about the results of my work in the laboratory in 2023, I would like to note that I was able to participate in a number of projects implemented by IDlab. For example, I took part in the preparation of passports of Directions, Organizations and Specialists within the framework of the project "Analysis of ICT profiles of Russian companies using machine learning methods". In addition, I performed tasks related to data comparison for the project "Navigator of Professions and Skills - an intellectual tool to support decision-making in the labor market", as well as participated in the preparation of the CFI report. In addition, during my work in the laboratory, I was involved in the organization of scientific seminars, including preparation of event announcements and posting news on the IDlab website. I can say that it was interesting to experience the atmosphere of "academic development".
Alexei Smirnov, 4nd year student of Economics
As a result of my work in the lab in 2023, I managed to participate in two major projects. The first one is "Analyzing ICT profiles of Russian companies using machine learning methods", for which I prepared a dashboard in the form of a web application. The results of this project are planned to be published. The second one is "Analyzing the determinants of state support for small and medium-sized enterprises in Russia", for which I performed calculations. The result of this project will be an article in the near future. In addition to projects, thanks to the laboratory, the past year was full of academic travels. We were in Yekaterinburg, St. Petersburg and Moscow. In memory of my presentation at REC-2023, I was left with a collection of conference abstracts, which included my work. And, of course, we should not forget about all the tea conversations that led to the solution of the unsolvable and improvement of the unimprovable. It was a wonderful year!
Irina Polyakova, 4nd year student of Economics
I am glad that I managed to work at IDlab: new ideas and heated discussions are constantly being born here.
Mostly I worked on the topic related to my course work: theoretical modeling of tournaments.
I was able to share my results and developments at a workshop on the economics of sport, as well as at the Russian Economic Congress in Yekaterinburg.
It is very difficult for me to tell and share with other people what I do. However, after working in the lab, presentations by colleagues and friendly feedback, collaboration and discussion seem to be the main part of my job as a researcher.
I would also like to mention the trip to Fall into ML, where I was able to listen to talks on the latest developments in machine learning. It was very, very interesting (and challenging).
And of course, the best thing about the lab is the people: mentors, teachers, and interns like you.
