Summary
This thesis aims to summarize the history and applications of eigenvalue computation. The work analyzes some eigenvalue algorithms. In the practical part of the thesis, a QR algorithm with Givens rotations is implemented in the Julia language and compared with the already available implementations of this algorithm in the Mathematica environment and the LAPACK library. The implementation is slower and less precise than already developed implementations, it does however provides possibility of logging the run of algorithm and possibility of setting precision.

Summary
This thesis is about the creation of a tool for generating mind maps from WooWoo files written according to the FIT-template. The generated mind map serves as a study material visualizing selected concepts from WooWoo files and displaying their relationships. The study material is an interactive web application easily accessible to students. The thesis deals with extraction of concepts from WooWoo text files using the WooWoo library; with generation of a layout for the concepts and for their relationships in the mind map using graph drawing algorithms from graph theory; with figuring out the importance of concepts using centrality algorithms and with problems of interactively displaying concepts and their relationships as a mind map in a web application. At the time of publication, the tool is being used at the Faculty of Information Technology, CTU.

Mgr. Petr Novák, Ph.D.
Summary
Time series classification is a complex problem in the field of machine learning. Modern methods addressing this problem are demanding in performance and their efficient implementation is more important than ever. This paper analyzes methods for time series classification and also efficiently implements the MINIROCKET and k-Nearest Neighbors methods with Dynamic Time Warping}. In this work, several different optimizations of these algorithms are proposed and implemented against their implementation in the Python package sktime. These optimizations, which are described in detail, include reducing the necessary memory allocations, parallelization and vectorization of the computations, and reducing the necessary algorithm steps to achieve the result. The performance of this implementation is experimentally verified on 113 datasets from the University of California, Riverside time series archive, achieving up to 17 times better performance than the same algorithms in the sktime package.

Summary
This thesis explore the field of mathematical optimization and show how it can be applied on the problems of knowledge engineering. Firstly, we develop a theoretical background in mathematical optimization and formulate basic optimization problems like linear programming, quadratic programming and vector optimization. Next we select different problems from the domain of knowledge engineering and express them in optimization framework. Then we present methods handling optimization problems, namely descent methods, Newton's method and barrier method. Finally, we move beyond the theoretical part and demonstrate various programming tools for solving optimization tasks.

Summary
This bachelor's thesis is focused on algorithms for numerical polygonization of implicit surfaces. It compares properties of selected algorithms and specifies their advantages and drawbacks. In greater detail, it examines the algorithm Dual Marching Cubes. This work includes implementation of this algorithm in open-source algebraic system SageMath and compares it with the Marching Cubes algorithm, which is already present in the system. Implemented functions are used to visualize electron orbitals of hydrogen atom and presented on other interesting examples of implicit surfaces.

Summary
Tens of millions of full live concerts are available on video- and audio-sharing services, and set lists with song time annotations are an essential information provided with them. Since the manual annotation is repetitive and time-consuming, an automatic tool is very valuable. This thesis proposes a solution to the unsupervised song segmentation in full concert audio. To my best knowledge, it is the first attempt to deal with the problem of this particular definition. Segment boundaries are identified by the log-likelihood ratio method and three different models for the classification are introduced. On the collected dataset, containing various musical genres and audio quality, the implemented system achieves 88.92% f-measure and 81.30% specificity of correctly labeled seconds in audio signal. Overall results show that its boundary detection is relatively successful, and therefore it serves as a decent baseline system for future solutions.

Summary
In this thesis we will deal with algorithms for numerical computation of matrix exponential. We will focus more closely on open-source program Sage in which we will implement infrequent Krylov's method for. This method differs from the others with the main approach for solving the problem. By little steps we will introduce all parts of this method, we will describe its implementation and at the end we will measure its precision and efficiency compared to the methods available in Sage. At the end of this thesis we will demonstrate practical example of the usage of our implementation of Krylov's method on real physical problem of heat conduction.

Summary
The scope of the thesis is the implementation of a web application according to the requirements of key users from the Department of Applied Mathematics at the FIT CTU in Prague. The input of the application is scanned student work uploaded to the application by students or lecturers. The assignment of individual pages of the submitted work to students or graded parts of assignments is done manually or with the use of QR codes. QR codes are assigned to students using the mobile part of the web application. Teachers correct student work using the built-in editor. The application is integrated to the school's KOS information system and to the faculty system for recording student scores Grades. The user interface is implemented in Czech and English with fully parameterized localization. The server part is implemented in Java, the user interface in the React framework with an editor written in JavaScript. PostgreSQL is used as the database.
