The least trimmed squares method is a robust version of the method of least squares, which is an essential tool of regression analysis used to find an estimate of coefficients in the linear regression model. Computing the least trimmed squared estimate is known to be NP-hard, hence only suboptimal probabilistic algorithms are usually used in practice. Besides describing those algorithms, we propose a few ways of combining those algorithms to obtain better performance.

Within this bachelor's thesis, a model predicting the total number of points scored in future match development in NBA basketball match was created. Predictions are based on data from previous games and statistics, which were already published in the ongoing match. In order to obtain the data, a study of existing materials was made, which were then successfully used for the creation of sufficient materials for the training of the prediction model. Also, the research of already finished theses, which are focused on a similar topic, was made. Based on the gathered data, a linear regression prediction model was chosen, and interesting attributes were added to the data mentioned above, which were meant to improve the model's predictions. The model was trained successfully, and it's results on the testing set of data seemed to be favourable. Although the full quality of the results would be possible to obtain by testing the model on currently played matches. Unfortunately, this wasn't possible due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which took place during the creation of this bachelor's thesis.

This work is devoted to automatic metrical analysis of Czech syllabotonic verse metrically tagged inside a large poetic corpus - the Corpus of Czech Verse. First, it reimplements the existing data-driven approach used by a program called KVĚTA. Later, it models the problem as a sequence tagging task and solves it using machine learning. The BiLSTM-CRF model is used, representing the current state of the art for many sequence tagging tasks. Many different input configurations are tested. In all experiments, the inputted syllables or word tokens are represented by Word2Vec word embeddings trained on training data. The results are evaluated by computing three different accuracies of the predictions: syllable-level accuracy, line-level accuracy, and poem-level accuracy. It is shown that using BiLSTM-CRF represents a great success. With the best input configurations, it produces better results than the KVĚTA reimplementation, with predictions achieving 99.61% syllable accuracy, 98.86% line accuracy, and 90.40% poem accuracy. The most interesting finding is that the best results are obtained by inputting sequences representing whole poems instead of individual poem lines.

The result of this work is a program that uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to identify named entities in the Corpus of Czech Verse (CCV). It is part of a cooperation with the Institute of Czech Literature (ICL). Since CCV is not even partially labeled for entity recognition, we first create a set of rules, and using those, we select entities from the poems. These entities are later on categorized into different entity categories using data from Wikipedia. After that, these categorized entities are used as training data for a BiLSTM-CRF neural network that is trained and fine-tuned for NER on the CCV. The resulting model can find and distinguish entities of Place, Person, Mystic Person, and Other. Since the text in the CCV is not labeled for NER, we cannot know the exact accuracy of the final BiLSTM-CRF model. If we would consider the data that are used for training of this model to be 100% accurate, then the final model would have achieved an accuracy of 0.99904 and an F1 score of 0.9532.

This thesis presents the development of the classification model for Information Technology job advertisement at webpage up2staff.com. The objective is to create a reliable classification system that reduces the time and costs associated with manual categorization of job ads. The process involves analyzing and preprocessing a dataset of job ads, researching appropriate algorithms, and experimenting with combinations of feature engineering techniques and supervised machine learning classification algorithms. The model decides the final decision based on weighted decisions from two classification algorithms; one created for the content and the other for the job ads' title. Both classifications perform with the highest F1-score for the Support Vector Machines algorithm applied to TF-IDF features. The classification model achieves F1-score of 0.909.

This bachelor's thesis focuses on identifying specific targets in a ping-pong match. Among these targets are ping-pong paddles and players. Furthermore, we also decided to detect a ball and a scorekeeper in matches. We applied a computer vision system in the ubiquitous Python programming language for object detection with the architecture YOLOv8 (You Only Look Once version 8) based on YOLOv5 paper. This project gets a video input, draws the enclosing bounding boxes around objects of interest, and displays the video with predictions. We acquire unlabeled data and annotate it manually while also utilizing the pre-annotation method with a pre-trained model. In addition, we supply a plethora of data manipulation techniques and analysis of our results. We end with a robust model detecting all four defined classes at the inference speed of 72 Frames Per Second (FPS).

This master thesis deals with whether it is possible to determine from network traffic which websites were visited by the user despite the fact that the communication takes place in an encrypted way. Furthermore, whether it is possible to at least approximately determine the content of the web page from encrypted network traffic. All this based on the characteristics of network flows, i.e. without the traffic being decrypted. As part of this work, a data set generator was designed and implemented, which allows to create data sets that contain captured network flows for visits to individual websites. Two datasets were created using this generator. A diverse set of features has been designed. Based on the features vectors, experiments were performed using multiple different models to identify websites and estimate their content. Furthermore, novelty detection models were created to detect unknown web pages. Experiments show that based on encrypted traffic, websites can be relatively accurately identified and some attributes of their content can be estimated as well.

This thesis studies the detection of topics in the Corpus of Czech Verse, which contains tens of thousands of poems from the 19th and early 20th centuries. It uses machine learning methods to efficiently process the large amount of data. The output of these algorithms is a set of detected topics and the classification of individual poems into these topics. This can help in further analysis of the artworks, summarizing and exploring what each poem addresses. This thesis presents current research in the area of detecting topics in poetic texts in different languages and using different technologies. The thesis also includes the development of several models that are used to assign topics to individual poems. Unsupervised, supervised and semi-supervised algorithms have been used for this purpose. We evaluate all the created models in detail, visualize them, point out their strengths and weaknesses, specific features and last but not least compare the models with each other. Since the Corpus of Czech Verse does not contain annotations of poem topics, for the purpose of supervised learning, an annotated dataset was created, which consists of a subset of poems from the original dataset.

This thesis focuses on the analysis and improvement of transaction monitoring processes, specifically on client segmentation based on their behavioral patterns. Segmentation is a key tool for detecting suspicious activities that may indicate money laundering or other forms of fraudulent behaviour. The thesis consists of a theoretical part, which provides a broader context of financial crime and the methods used to detect it, and a practical part, where the existing segmentation process at the author's employer is analyzed. Based on identified shortcomings, improvements are proposed, including adjustments to internal processes, code optimization, new algorithms, innovative data visualizations, and enhanced documentation. Selected proposals were tested on synthetic data, with experiments demonstrating that expanding parameters and deploying advanced algorithms, such as Mini Batch KMeans, have the potential to make the existing segmentation process more efficient. The results of this work highlight the importance of linking technical innovations with process improvements and pave the way for further development. The conclusions also show the potential for transforming outdated processes and offer directions for future advancements.
