How the Cohere Labs open research community turns early-career researchers into global leaders

The Cohere For AI Scholars Program is a seven-month, paid initiative designed to support early-career machine learning researchers from diverse backgrounds. It provides mentorship, computational resources, and a collaborative environment for scholars to work on fundamental ML research projects. The program emphasizes an open science approach, encouraging community-driven research and publication in top-tier conferences like NeurIPS and ICLR. By removing traditional barriers to entry, the initiative aims to democratize access to AI research and cultivate the next generation of global leaders in the field.
