Krůza, Jan Oldřich ; Kuboň, Vladislav (advisor) ; Pollák, Petr (referee) ; Müller, Luděk (referee)
Iterative Improving of Transcribed Speech Recordings Exploiting Listeners' Feedback Abstract This Ph.D. thesis deals with making a corpus of audio recordings of a single speaker accessible to wide public and interested community. The work has been motivated by the existence of a set of perishing recordings of the Czech philosopher Karel Makoň on magnetophone tapes. The aim is to conserve the material for future generations and to make it accessible using digital technologies, in particular publishing the recordings online and enabling the users to search through them. The thesis introduces the creation of a system for transcribing a large set of speech recordings employing a lay community. The solution designed is based on obtaining a baseline low-quality transcription by means of automated speech recognition and developing an application that allows for collecting corrections of the automatic transcription in a fashion that makes it usable as training data for further improvement of said transcription. The spoken corpus itself is described. The author and his works, topics cove- red in the talks, the process of recording and digitization as well as the gained transcription are introduced. Next, the development of a system for automated transcription of the corpus, from collecting data, to acoustic and...

Evaluation of Local Action Groups' Activity
Malá, Michaela ; Perlín, Radim (advisor) ; Večerka, Radan (referee)
The thesis deals with action of local action groups (LAGs) in the Czech Republic at the beginning of the new programming period. During the last seven years, LAGs proved to be an ideal cooperation platform of local actors, which leads to the integrated development of its home territory. The aim of this work is to evaluate the activity of LAGs, with an emphasis on the process of social networking, sectors cooperation at the local level, promote economic activities LAGs and ensure their operation. Analysis of the functioning of LAGs was based on guided interviews with LAG managers or LAG directors, and representatives of rural development institutions. Selection of interviewed LAG representatives was based on the LAGs evaluation from 2010, 2011 and 2012. Results of guided interviews with LAGs' representatives and experts served to define the barriers that currently impede the development of rural areas through the LEADER method and community planning. Furthermore, the results of field research confirmed that LAGs activity supports the development of social networks in its home territory and breaking down barriers between public, private and non-profit sectors.
