Latest news and updates from DSML Kazakhstan community
Stay up to date with the latest events
What changed for companies: fast online submission—paste the vacancy text as is, and our AI will format it in our style; all applications in one place, with resumes, search, notes, and candidate statuses; contacts can remain private if you prefer collecting applications through DSML.
We did not forget candidates: comments are now available directly on the website; applying takes only a couple of clicks with contact details and a resume; after completing a career profile once, you can use DSML Apply in one click. Every application is saved neatly in your career profile so you do not lose track of where and when you applied.
All vacancies still go through our review before publication so the channel remains useful to the community.
It is a new space designed to make AI and ML research from Kazakhstan and Central Asia more visible.
Strong research from the region is currently scattered across Google Scholar, LinkedIn, personal websites, and university pages.
We want to bring this layer closer to the community, making it easier to understand who is working on what, follow publications, and launch new collaborative projects.
The Research Hub is for everyone connected to the region who works in AI/ML research: students, university researchers, R&D teams and industry AI labs, faculty, and independent researchers. Whether you are currently in Astana, Tashkent, Bishkek, Silicon Valley, Europe, or anywhere else, we would be happy to see your profile.
We made publication imports as convenient as possible, so creating a profile should not take long.

The first round took place on April 11, with participants solving “Aibek and Jimmy Are Brothers”. The second round on April 12 featured two problems: “Zhuldyz-Zhan's Detective Agency” and “Forgotten Labels”.
We thank our residents Jimmy Yamazaki and Daniil Orel for developing high-quality problems. Special recognition goes to our friend Jimmy, who adapted quickly during technical difficulties and ran everything at the highest level!
The International Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence is one of the most prominent international AI olympiads for school students. This year, the location moved from Abu Dhabi to Astana—a major event for Kazakhstan.
Kazakhstan became one of the leading candidates to host the olympiad instead of the UAE largely because of the work and reputation of DSML residents Anuar Aimoldin and Nurdaulet Akhanov. Both serve on IOAI's international scientific committee and contribute to problem development and olympiad organization.
Last year, DSML and CPFED jointly ran Kazakhstan's first national AI olympiad and prepared the national team for IOAI. These were important first steps for school-level AI education in the country. We again thank the residents who developed the initiative with Anuar and Nurdaulet in 2025: Alen Bayev, Daniil Orel, and Assel Yermekova 🫶🏽
Stay tuned for IOAI 2026 news—there is much more ahead!
