Severstal is a very cool company, and I am very glad that it was in Severstal that I stood at the origins of the application of machine learning in the Russian industry. What we have done in the field of the introduction of machine learning in metallurgy has very few analogues in the world: in 5 years we have gone from the almost complete absence of the use of this technology to the creation of solutions that control large units in real time with 5 +% effects on productivity (these are hundreds of thousands of tons of additional products). So I leave with sadness: the team is cool, the projects are chic, the work is interesting, "wrote Boris Voskresensky on the social network.
