Open Science Initiative

Open Science Initiative
Our open science research community is a space where researchers, engineers, linguists, social scientists, and lifelong learners connect and collaborate with each other. We come together from over 130 countries around the world and support large and small-scale research collaborations.
About the community
Since launching this initiative, we’ve been led by the interests of our collaborators. Whether you're a beginner exploring ML, interested in learning about AI for social good, or looking to make connections with researchers around the globe, we offer opportunities to learn, collaborate, and contribute to open science.

The strength of our open science community lies in its diversity and reach. With members spanning the globe and a wide range of programs and events, we're creating a dynamic ecosystem where ideas flourish and breakthroughs are born. Join us in shaping the future of machine learning.

Community-Led Events
Our dedicated community leads are essential to the impact of our open science initiative. They have organized and hosted over 150 guest speakers across various machine learning fields, including Large Language Models (LLMs), Computer Vision, Reinforcement Learning, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and more.

Roads to Research
Let’s demystify what it means to be an ML researcher. In this event series, we host candid conversations about everything it takes to pursue this field independently, or as part of an academic institution or lab. We aim to spark new ideas, inspire research connections, and support one another in navigating the field of research.

Diverse ML Programs
Community-led ML Programs
Our open science community is driven by dedicated leads who run 13 diverse programs, fostering collaboration across machine learning fields. From beginner-friendly initiatives to specialized research tracks, our programs create opportunities for learning, mentorship, and innovation.

Research Affiliation
Publishing as a Cohere For AI Community Researcher
Publishing is a massive achievement, made all the more impressive when accomplished without the backing of a formal lab or institution. To support and celebrate community members as they pursue their research goals, we invite all members to publish with the affiliation “Cohere For AI Community”.
Research in Collaboration with our Open Science Community
We believe groundbreaking discoveries thrive in open collaboration. The work featured here represents just a small sample of the research born from partnerships within our open science community.
