Celebrating the 2025 AI-HUB@LMU Prize Winner: Frederic Kuhwald

We are proud to announce Frederic Kuhwald (Faculty of Economics) as recipient of the AI-HUB@LMU Award for the best Master's Thesis, for his work “Predicting technology trends: Measuring conceptional relatedness across text-domains.“


The Jury remarked: “The thesis develops a scalable NLP-driven framework to systematically measure the conceptual relatedness of technology trends across academic publications and start-up activities, offering novel metrics for assessing innovation dynamics. It stands out for its sophisticated methodological approach and its rigorous integration of machine learning techniques with practical economic analysis.”

Our congratulations!

Join us in celebrating Frederic Kuhwald and the two other winners at the AI-HUB@LMU KI-Symposium 2025 on 10 November 2025.

Our thanks go to the Münchener Universitätsgesellschaft for their support in endowing this prize and to the interdisciplinary review panel for their careful evaluation of all submissions.
