Pyatigorsk State University (PSU)

The date of foundation of Pyatigorsk State University is considered to be June 27, 1939, when the Pedagogical School officially became a higher educational institution. Since then, the university has undergone various changes and transformations - an increase in the number of years of study, several renamings - and officially became known as Pyatigorsk State University in 2016. Since 2005, the head of the university is Professor Gorbunov Alexander Pavlovich. By 2009, 10 faculties were formed at the university. Further, on their basis, institutes and higher schools were created, having one of the faculties in their composition. In addition, PSU is actively developing the system of pre-university, postgraduate and additional education. It has a branch in Novorossiysk. Currently, the university has 34 departments. Now Pyatigorsk State University has more than 5,500 students and 3,000 students from different regions of Russia and foreign countries. All the peoples of the Caucasus are also represented in PSU.

Pyatigorsk State University has developed a platform called CorpusTensor—a "digital microscope" designed for analyzing large volumes of text without the need for programming.

The sheer quantity of text—ranging from social media content to archival records—makes manual analysis impossible, while neural networks often yield results that cannot be verified.

The Laboratory for Computational Linguistics and Network Topology of Discourse at Pyatigorsk State University has created an end-to-end pipeline that handles everything from text cleaning to the generation of semantic maps and graphs illustrating the relationships between words. The platform operates entirely within a web browser and requires no coding. It was developed by Associate Professor A. G. Monogarova.

This platform will prove useful for linguistic expert analysis, media monitoring, the evaluation of educational texts, and the training of students in the humanities.
