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.
