In December, Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University completed a pilot project to provide internships for teachers in local government bodies. "Open Municipality: Best Practices in St. Petersburg."

The internship program was implemented jointly with the Council of Municipalities of St. Petersburg, which celebrated its 20th anniversary on December 17. The long-standing collaboration between the Council and the Polytechnic University is aimed at developing the human resources potential of municipal services, implementing modern management practices, and improving the quality of training for local government specialists.

The purpose of the internship was to improve and enhance the professional skills of teachers in the field of local government, as well as to integrate current municipal management practices into the university's educational process.

As part of the program, participants studied the theoretical foundations of local self-government in the Russian Federation and St. Petersburg, including the regulatory and financial aspects of local government activities. They analyzed the practices of St. Petersburg municipalities in the areas of public improvement, public relations, interdepartmental collaboration, the use of information and analytical technologies, and the development of leisure, sports, and educational initiatives.

The event was attended by teachers of the Higher School of Public and Municipal Administration of the Institute of Meteorology and Technology, as well as heads of municipalities and representatives of the Council of Municipalities of St. Petersburg, including: Deputy Executive Director of the Council of Municipalities of St. Petersburg Yulia Slav, Head of the MO "Akademicheskoe" Igor Pyzhik, Head of the MA MO "Akademicheskoe" Elena Korotkova, Head of the MO "Liteyny Okrug" Pavel Daynyak, Member of the Youth Council of the MO "Liteyny Okrug" Andrey Zaretsky, Head of the Department of Improvement of the MA VMO SPb MO "Polyustrovo" Mikhail Artemenok, Chief Specialist of the Department of Improvement of the MA VMO SPb MO "Polyustrovo" Anton Baranov, Deputy Director of the MKU "Improvement Service" of the MO "Vasilievsky" Anastasia Zakimatova.

The work was conducted using the "World Café" technology. Participants developed solutions to key municipal development issues, such as landscaping, organizing interdepartmental cooperation, and building effective dialogue with the public.

Following the discussions, three comprehensive projects were developed, providing for the full implementation of the principle of subsidiarity, a clearer distribution of powers among government bodies, the creation of a unified information environment with elements of artificial intelligence, the implementation of lean management principles in the activities of local government bodies, and the development of practice-oriented interdisciplinary educational programs in the field of urban management.

The "Open Municipality" project is an important step toward bringing the university closer to real-world management practices. "It's crucial for us that faculty have the opportunity to directly interact with local governments, understand the current needs of their territories, and translate this practical experience into the educational process. This format of collaboration improves the quality of training and develops students' practical understanding of the modern urban governance system," said Maxim Ivanov, IPMEIT Deputy Director for Promising Projects and Youth Policy.

At the end of the event, the participants summarized the results of the pilot internship and agreed on further development of their cooperation. Plans include developing methodological recommendations for key areas of local government activity, implementing joint educational programs, promoting municipal service, and launching the next phase of the project—"Open Municipality 2.0."

Internship participants—HSSU lecturers Yulia Slav, Igor Pyzhik, and Pavel Daynyak—were awarded certificates of completion from the Council of Municipalities of St. Petersburg.

The "Open Municipality" internship has become an effective platform for professional dialogue between representatives of municipalities and the university community. It's important for us not only to share best practices from St. Petersburg's local governments but also to collaborate with the university to develop modern approaches to training specialists for municipal service. I am confident that the results of this internship will find practical application both in the educational process and in the activities of the city's municipalities," noted Yulia Slav, Deputy Executive Director of the Council of Municipalities of St. Petersburg.

By the end of January, the participants will be developing teaching materials for the subjects taught, based on the data obtained during the internship. Real-life cases and best municipal practices will be incorporated into the training of specialists for local governments. A collection of best practices from St. Petersburg municipalities is also planned for publication.

Participating in the "Open Municipality" internship allowed me to gain a fresh perspective on the work of local government in St. Petersburg. Live interaction with municipal leaders, analysis of real-life management cases, and joint project work provided valuable practical insights that will soon be integrated into the educational process. This format of interaction between the university and municipalities makes the training of future specialists more practical and responsive to modern requirements, shared Tamara Selentyeva, Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Public Administration.

The implementation of the "Open Municipality" project opens new horizons for collaboration between the Polytechnic University and the city's municipalities, strengthens the connection between education and practice, and improves the quality of training for local government personnel.

Researchers from the RUDN University Faculty of Artificial Intelligence conducted a large-scale study that uncovered systematic errors in large-scale language models (LLMs) used to diagnose depression from text. This work, conducted jointly with colleagues from AIRI, the Federal Research Center for Control and Management of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Systematic Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, and the Moscow Branch of the International Association of Zoological Research (MBZUAI), not only identifies the problem but also lays the foundation for the development of more reliable and secure tools for detecting depression and anxiety.

"Our research is an important step toward trusted AI in medicine. We don't simply point out the shortcomings of AI tools; we propose approaches to overcoming them. The key challenge today is not blind trust in algorithms, but their integration into physician workflows as a proven and understandable decision-support tool. Patient safety and understanding the limitations of this technology are our absolute priority," noted Anton Poddubsky, Dean of the Faculty of Artificial Intelligence at RUDN University.

The main value of the study is its detailed comparison of existing large-scale language models (LLMs), as well as methods for their use and retraining for the tasks of detecting depression and anxiety from text, and an analysis of AI errors and "hallucinations" in these tasks with the participation of psychology experts. The work of the RUDN University scientists received recognition and was presented at the highly regarded international conference "Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing" (EMNLP). We spoke with the authors of the article to learn how the idea for the study came about, what AI "hallucinations" they identified, and the prospects for further development of the research.

How did the idea for research on this topic arise and why is it relevant and important?

In recent years, there has been growing interest in text-based mental health diagnostics and the use of AI in this field, as well as in the application of LLM in medicine in general. However, most studies rely on English-language data and ML models; comprehensive comparisons for the Russian language have not yet been conducted. This prompted us to explore LLM and other machine learning models for detecting depression and anxiety from text. We compared various models for both tasks and demonstrated which ones perform best in each case. We also conducted additional experiments to evaluate the quality of LLM generation from the perspective of expert psychologists. It turned out that, at this stage, LLMs produce answers of low quality. Specifically, in one experiment, we used LLM not only to determine the presence or absence of depression in a text author but also to generate an explanation for why the model reached this conclusion. It was in this experiment that we established that the explanations provided by modern models contain a significant number of errors from an expert perspective.

What is the main danger of such errors?

The danger lies in the fact that LLMs can produce unfounded or false conclusions ("hallucinations") that appear plausible to the end user. Such errors are difficult to detect without expert assistance, but they can lead to misinterpretation of depression symptoms.

What causes of AI errors have you identified? What is it about mental health conversations that so confuses even the most advanced language models?

Clinical psychologists analyzed the LLM responses and identified errors from an expert perspective. We identified six main types of errors: tautology, unfounded generalizations, false conclusions, confabulations, misrepresentation of medical concepts of depression, and incomplete listing of its symptoms. It's worth noting that, from a machine learning perspective, all of these errors can be described as "hallucinations," but in psychology-related tasks, a more precise categorization is needed. A characteristic of the texts used to detect depression is the difficulty of interpreting them. People often describe their condition indirectly, using metaphors, and text does not always directly reflect signs of mental disorders. Furthermore, the task of detecting depression from text is challenging for non-specialized models, as most of them are not trained on psychological or medical data.

What are the prospects for the development of this research?

The next step could be specialized retraining of LLMs on large datasets for depression and anxiety detection. The current experiments used a relatively small amount of data, which could limit the final quality of the models.
