• Russia Proposes First Competence Model for Physical AI Specialists

  In collaboration with ITMO, HSE, MAI, MEPhI, and MIPT, Yandex has launched Russia’s first competence model for specialists in physical AI – a comprehensive roadmap that outlines the essential knowledge and skills that specialists need to produce robots and other AI-assisted autonomous vehicles. The developed model became the basis for Yandex Physical AI Garage – a collaborative program by Yandex and its partner universities. At ITMO, the program will be implemented as a separate track within the Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Bachelor’s program.

• Russian Scientists Help Recommendation Systems Understand Users Better

  Researchers from ITMO University, Sberbank’s Practical AI Center, AIRI Institute, and Innopolis University have found a way to distill deep semantic knowledge from large language models (LLMs) into lightweight recommendation systems. For users, this means more accurate recommendations for products, movies, and other content and a stable service performance, with recommendations being generated as quickly as with the original compact model. The findings of the study were reported at ECIR 2026.

• Automated Chemical Research Made Possible Thanks To ITMO-Developed Datasets

  ITMO researchers have released ChemX, a new dataset collection that analyzes the performance of existing information extraction methods for the scientific literature. With this toolkit, scientists can now systematically analyze the capabilities of large language models and multiagent systems in processing complex academic data, expose their shortcomings, and define areas of growth for aspiring researchers in the field. The collection was hand-assembled by experts from ITMO’s Center for Artificial Intelligence in Chemistry and contains ten datasets from the key branches of chemistry – nanomaterials and small molecules. The findings were revealed at the conference NeurIPS 2025.
