Serokell Is a Top Writer in Artificial Intelligence on Medium

Serokell blog is a place for our specialists to talk about things that matter them. We frequently cover areas like functional programming, machine learning, and blockchain. We also feature the best blog posts on our [Medium page](https://medium.com/@Serokell). 

Recently, we have been awarded the Top Writer in Artificial Intelligence badge on Medium. It’s great to see that repeated work and activity gets rewarded on the platform. 

If you want to read some of our best articles on artificial intelligence and machine learning, here are a few:

Serokell at AiML 2020

Advances in Modal Logic is one of the most popular conferences on modal logic. Read about the conference and Danya Rogozin's participation in it.

[Advances in Modal Logic](http://www.aiml.net) is one of the most popular conferences on modal logic. AiML covers the whole landscape of modal logic and its current state of affairs. Topics are not restricted to only abstract questions of modal logic but also includes the aspects related to artificial intelligence, philosophy, topology, algebra, etc. This year, the conference was online due to the pandemic – the University of Helsinki did a great job in organising it via Zoom.

## AiML talks

The AiML talks were split into three categories. The first category was plenary talks. This year, invited speakers were Bahareh Afshari (the University of Amsterdam), Nick Bezhanishvili (the University of Amsterdam), Melvin Fitting (City University of New York), and Nina Gierasimczuk (Technical University of Denmark), all great talks indeed. 

Out of those, I would like to emphasise the talk by Nick Bezhanishvili called ‘Filtrations, Canonical Formulas, and Axiomatisations of Superintuitionistic and Modal Logics’. The talk was quite close to my current research on model-theoretic aspects of Boolean algebras with operators.
 
There were also talks based on full papers. Topics of those papers represent a variety of trends in modal logic that include technical, applied, philosophical, and historical problems. Moreover, this conference is my debut as a paper reviewer. One of the accepted papers has been approved by myself as well.

## My presentation 

My talk was the short one and is based on a short five-page abstract. It's called ‘Canonical extensions for the distributive full Lambek calculus with modal operators’. 

Briefly, this talk provides an algebraic approach for Stone-style representation for bounded distributive lattices with modal operators to characterise the class of canonical logics. Canonical logics, in their turn, are adequate with respect to relational Kripke semantics if their algebras ‘respect’ such an algebraic representation called canonical extension. The result of this talk extends some of the results by [Mai Gehrke, Yde Venema, and Hideo Nagahashi](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168007204000880).

Serokell Opens Machine Learning Lab

## Serokell Labs

We are happy to inform you that one of the results of our fruitful cooperation with  [ITMO](https://en.itmo.ru/en/) is the opening of a machine learning laboratory.

The competition in the field of technological solutions is constantly growing. In order to maintain a confident position in the market for software R&D services, it is always necessary to keep up with the times.

Pursuing the goal of improving our technology products, together with our strategic partner - National Research University - ITMO we have opened a machine learning laboratory.

We are very pleased to apply recent computer science inventions to real-case business, as well as to expand our expertise in machine learning solutions.

In the closest future, we will tell more about the goals and objectives of our activities, but for now, we suggest you subscribe to our [Twitter](https://twitter.com/serokell), new updates will come shortly.

Serokell at ZHF Hackathon

Last Friday, some of Serokellers participated in a hackathon in Moscow. Read about the hackathon and their experience in the article.

Last Friday, some of Serokellers participated in a semi-physical [Zero Hydra Failure Hackathon](https://nixhax.github.io/zhf-21.11/index.en.html) in [undefspace](https://undef.club/#about), Moscow.

![event attendants](/files/w2/w2p5yba2.5ef5b309d40d414bbc1dbdeeed5d4cb19cdfbfde.jpeg)

Together with other attendants, we managed to push more 6 PRs in less than 8 hours and fix a lot more packages (due to a fix of  `openjfx` by our site reliability engineer Alexander Bantyev).
