Brno University of Technology said alumnus Tomáš Mikolov received a Medal of Merit from the Czech president on October 28. Known for his contributions to Word2Vec and vector representations of words, he continues work on efficient language models at BottleCap AI. The announcement also recognizes alumnus Filip Maleňák, creator of the Záchranka emergency assistance app. The honors concern contributions to language technology and location-based emergency support; they do not announce a new AI model or application feature.
