AI Research Program
Winter Deadline: Sunday, November 9, 11:59 pm PT.
Publish your own professional research to top AI conferences
Immerse yourself in the process of real-world AI research by delving into literature review, developing and implementing your own ML algorithms, communicating your results in a research publication, and submitting research to top AI research conferences like NeurIPS, EMNLP, and ACL.
Conference Acceptances
Algoverse research teams have consistently achieved publication success at top AI venues such as NeurIPS, EMNLP, and ACL—conferences that primarily feature work from Ph.D. students and professional researchers at leading industry and academic labs. Acceptance rates at these conferences are typically 30-50% for submissions from established research institutions. Algoverse's research teams have achieved comparable results, reflecting the program's emphasis on rigorous mentorship and independent research quality.

Success Stories
Tim, Ryan, Ayush, and Kaylee’s paper was featured in OpenAI’s PaperBench
In an outstanding recognition of their cutting-edge work, their paper, Semantic Self-Consistency was featured among 20 state-of-the-art AI research papers in OpenAI’s PaperBench. OpenAI handpicked these 20 papers from ICML and NeurIPS and reached out to collaborate with our student author, Tim.
Earlier, their paper was also accepted at NeurIPS MATH-AI. Notably, after their NeurIPS presentation, two of the four researchers were admitted to Stanford University.*
*The other two researchers were 1: already accepted to college at the time they joined the project and 2: based in Germany
As a high school student, Abhay’s research was accepted to NeurIPS and cited by Microsoft
Abhay’s paper, AAVENUE, was accepted to an EMNLP Workshop and the NeurIPS High School Track (5% acceptance rate). Furthermore, it was cited by researchers at Microsoft, Google, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, Oxford, University of Washington, and other institutions. Abhay came into the program with no prior experience in AI or research.
After Algoverse, Abhay acquired internships at Stanford, MIT, and Harvard (Reference: LinkedIn).
Recently, as a result of his Algoverse research, Abhay was honored with the Davidson Fellowship award, receiving a $25,000 scholarship. He was one of only 20 recipients selected from over 1,200 applicants, recognized for his exceptional research and impact.

Words from Our Alumni
Algoverse offered an incredible opportunity minimally available to community college students. The research experience I gained strengthened my UC application, contributing to my acceptance into UC Berkeley’s EECS program as a transfer student, a lifelong dream of mine. Our paper was accepted into ACL’s REALM’25 Workshop, a prestigious peer-reviewed venue in the field of NLP. This will help me stand out as I pursue research roles, internships, and job opportunities.

Our topic was about improving long context performance by inserting pause tokens into context, aiming to redistribute attention across the entire context. Working with my team was great. Everyone was eager to learn and work, and the mentors were available everyday to answer our questions and give feedback. I think this experience has definitely helped jumpstart my career. Looking for summer internships and getting interviews was much easier with research on my resume.
