Cohere For AI, a hybrid research lab and open science community, is launching the third cohort of its Scholars Program, which aims to diversify and democratize access to machine learning research. The program provides an immersive, full-time and paid experience, allowing participants from varied backgrounds to work with notable researchers and industry experts on projects spanning complex machine-learning challenges. This initiative addresses the limited opportunities currently available for conducting cutting-edge natural language processing and large-scale ML experiments, while promoting responsible research and open-source scientific practices. Applications for the program, which runs from January to July 2025, are open until August 30, 2024, and include access to an extensive experimental framework and world-class research mentorship.
