Summary
This thesis focuses on the design and creation of a platform for competing AI agents in turn-based strategy games. The solution is based on the client--server architecture. The code of the AI agent runs client-side and connects to the game server via a network. The course of a game is managed by events sent via the WebSocket protocol. The game server runs in Node.js runtime environment. The functionality of the platform was tested on game Othello. It was shown that Node.js is sufficient solution for managing up to 180 simultaneously connected pairs of agents. A linear dependence of total match time was demonstrated, depending on the number of simultaneous connections for games with constant time complexity for the processing of a single turn. It was also shown that the implemented solution is satisfactory for simple turn-based games.

Summary
This thesis is concerned with the research of information retrieval models, state-of-the-art word embedding techniques and their possible use for multilingual retrieval. Modern approaches to multilingual retrieval that build on word embedding techniques usually work with some transformation that converts word representations from one language to another. The aim of this thesis is to investigate a model that does not work with this transformation and instead directly extracts dependencies between translations. A prototype web search engine should then be built on top of this model.
The work has met all expectations and the resulting model was able to represent bilingual translations directly without using any transformation. This was achieved using parallel translated European Union documents, which were linked at paragraph level for both languages. The prototype search engine then operated based on the learned word representations derived from this model.

Summary
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze methods for comparing tabular data and design a framework that enables efficient table comparison. The work focuses on defining table similarity based on the similarity of their columns and proposing a modular solution that generates metadata from tables and compares this metadata.
As part of the thesis, a framework was implemented in Python, capable of reliably identifying tables with a high degree of similarity. Experimental results demonstrated that the framework can accurately recognize highly similar tables, such as tables that are modifications of original data.
The framework has a wide range of applications, such as detecting duplicates in databases, comparing table versions to identify changes, or ensuring data integrity. The thesis is divided into three main parts.
The first part explores existing methods and defines key concepts. The second part focuses on the framework's analysis, design and implementation. The third part tests the algorithms through experiments.
The framework is a useful tool for working with tabular data and, thanks to its modularity, allows for easy extension with additional comparison methods or specialized tools for handling various types of data structures.

Summary
The aim of this thesis is to design and implement an Automatic Meter Reading device capable of collecting data from various types of utility meters and transmitting it to a central data-collection system for processing.
It presents a two-part solution consisting of an optical probe for reading meters, and a gateway device that aggregates data and transmits it over LoRaWAN or Wi-Fi. The devices were developed as custom hardware with accompanying firmware, with emphasis on low-power operation and future extensibility. The system supports receiving Wireless M-Bus messages, reading from meters equipped with wired and optical pulse outputs, mechanical dials, and infrared communication ports, and can be configured locally via NFC.
Both device prototypes were tested in laboratory conditions, confirming correct functionality of all key features and demonstrating power consumption suitable for multi-year battery operation.
The result is a flexible and extensible smart metering system that serves as a functional prototype and a solid foundation for future refinement, field testing, and eventual deployment.
