Influence of parcellation atlas on quality of classification in patients with neurodegenerative dissease
Montilla, Michaela ; Lamoš, Martin (referee) ; Gajdoš, Martin (advisor)
The aim of the thesis is to define the dependency of the classification of patients affected by neurodegenerative diseases on the choice of the parcellation atlas. Part of this thesis is the application of the functional connectivity analysis and the calculation of graph metrics according to the method published by Olaf Sporns and Mikail Rubinov [1] on fMRI data measured at CEITEC MU. The application is preceded by the theoretical research of parcellation atlases for brain segmentation from fMRI frames and the research of mathematical methods for classification as well as classifiers of neurodegenerative diseases. The first chapters of the thesis brings a theoretical basis of knowledge from the field of magnetic and functional magnetic resonance imaging. The physical principles of the method, the conditions and the course of acquisition of image data are defined. The third chapter summarizes the graph metrics used in the diploma thesis for analyzing and classifying graphs. The paper presents a brief overview of the brain segmentation methods, with the focuse on the atlas-based segmentation. After a theoretical research of functional connectivity methods and mathematical classification methods, the findings were used for segmentation, calculation of graph metrics and for classification of fMRI images obtained from 96 subjects into the one of two classes using Binary classifications by support vector machines and linear discriminatory analysis. The data classified in this study was measured on patiens with Parkinson’s disease (PD), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a combination of PD and MCI and subjects belonging to the control group of healthy individuals. For pre-processing and analysis, the MATLAB environment, the SPM12 toolbox and The Brain Connectivity Toolbox were used.

Embedded display recognition
Novotný, Václav ; Janáková, Ilona (referee) ; Honec, Peter (advisor)
This master thesis deals with usage of machine learning methods in computer vision for classification of unknown images. The first part contains research of available machine learning methods, their limitations and also their suitability for this task. The second part describes the processes of creating training and testing gallery. In the practical part, the solution for the problem is proposed and later realised and implemented. Proper testing and evaluation of resulting system is conducted.

Multiple sclerosis detection
Kopuletý, Michal ; Mangová, Marie (referee) ; Uher, Václav (advisor)
This thesis is focused on detecting multiple sclerosis lesions from magnetic resonance images. Correctly retrieved lesions are very important for medical diagnosis. Detection of lesions using machine learning techniques is quite challenging because of large variability in size, shape and position of lesions in the brain. In the practical part is designed base software, which after completion will classify pixels, so that is possible to find lesions of multiple sclerosis. For classification will be used Support vector machine. Theoretical part describes multiple sclerosis, basic operations performed with biomedical images and data classification.

The Use of SVM in Environment of Financial Markets
Štechr, Vladislav ; Prochocká, Kristína (referee) ; Budík, Jan (advisor)
This thesis deals with use of regression or classification based on support vector machines from machine learning field. SVMs predict values that are used for decisions of automatic trading system. Regression and classification are evaluated for their usability for decision making. Strategy is being then optimized, tested and evaluated on foreign exchange market Forex historic data set. Results are promising. Strategy could be used in combination with other strategy that would confirm decisions for entering and exiting trades.

Learnable Evolution Model for Optimization (LEM)
Grunt, Pavel ; Vašíček, Zdeněk (referee) ; Schwarz, Josef (advisor)
My thesis is dealing with the Learnable Evolution Model (LEM), a new evolutionary method of optimization, which employs a classification algorithm. The optimization process is guided by a characteristics of differences between groups of high and low performance solutions in the population. In this thesis I introduce new variants of LEM using classification algorithm AdaBoost or SVM. The qualities of proposed LEM variants were validated in a series of experiments in static and dynamic enviroment. The results have shown that the metod has better results with smaller group sizes. When compared to the Estimation of Distribution Algorithm, the LEM variants achieve comparable or better values faster. However, the LEM variant which combined the AdaBoost approach with the SVM approach had the best overall performance.

Analysis of experimental ECG
Maršánová, Lucie ; Janoušek, Oto (referee) ; Ronzhina, Marina (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the analysis of experimental electrograms (EG) recorded from isolated rabbit hearts. The theoretical part is focused on the basic principles of electrocardiography, pathological events in ECGs, automatic classification of ECG and experimental cardiological research. The practical part deals with manual classification of individual pathological events – these results will be presented in the database of EG records, which is under developing at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at BUT nowadays. Manual scoring of data was discussed with experts. After that, the presence of pathological events within particular experimental periods was described and influence of ischemia on heart electrical activity was reviewed. In the last part, morphological parameters calculated from EG beats were statistically analised with Kruskal-Wallis and Tukey-Kramer tests and also principal component analysis (PCA) and used as classification features to classify automatically four types of the beats. Classification was realized with four approaches such as discriminant function analysis, k-Nearest Neighbours, support vector machines, and naive Bayes classifier.

Processing of image sequences from fundus camera
Klimeš, Filip ; Odstrčilík, Jan (referee) ; Kolář, Radim (advisor)
Cílem mé diplomové práce bylo navrhnout metodu analýzy retinálních sekvencí, která bude hodnotit kvalitu jednotlivých snímků. V teoretické části se také zabývám vlastnostmi retinálních sekvencí a způsobem registrace snímků z fundus kamery. V praktické části je implementována metoda hodnocení kvality snímků, která je otestována na reálných retinálních sekvencích a vyhodnocena její úspěšnost. Práce hodnotí i vliv této metody na registraci retinálních snímků.

Klasifikace maloobchodních společností v ČR z pohledu finančního rizika
Kamarýtová, Sabina
The Bachelor's thesis is focusing on the classification and comparison of the retail business companies on marketplace in the Czech Republic from 2008 to 2012 from the point of their financial risk and usual financial ratios which are used in company's financial analysis. Specifically, it is the classification of 46 big and medium-sized companies which specialize in selling of food products. Main goal of this thesis is to point out the fact, how the level of leverage influences profitability and financial health of these retail companies. For the data processing are used multidimensional statistical methods, companies are classified by principal component analysis, cluster analysis and support vector machines.
