Tomáš Mikolov is aCzechcomputer scientist working in the field ofmachine learning. In March 2020, Mikolov became a senior research scientist at theCzech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics.
Mikolov obtained hisPhD inComputer Science fromBrno University of Technology for his work onrecurrent neural network-based language models.[1][2] He is the lead author of the 2013 paper that introduced theWord2vec technique in natural language processing[3] and is an author on theFastText architecture.[4][5] Mikolov came up with the idea to generate text from neural language models in 2007 and his RNNLM toolkit was the first to demonstrate the capability to train language models on large corpora, resulting in large improvements over the state of the art.
Prior to joiningFacebook in 2014, Mikolov worked as a visiting researcher atJohns Hopkins University,Université de Montréal,Microsoft andGoogle.[citation needed] He left Facebook at some time in 2019/2020 to join theCzech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics.[6]
Mikolov has argued that humanity might be at a greaterexistential risk if anartificial general intelligence is not developed.[7]
