Movie Recommender System
Janko, Pavel ; Zbořil, František (referee) ; Šůstek, Martin (advisor)
This thesis primarily addresses various methods of constructing a system for movie recommendations. Both basic and advanced techniques required for creating a recommender system are also covered in the thesis. The core of the thesis is designing, implementing and experimenting with a system for movie recommendations based upon the data originating from publicly accessible datasets. In order to predict ratings that the user would give to movies after watching them, the system utilizes a factorization model based on collaborative filtering. This thesis also describes the relation between model hyperparameter configuration and prediction accuracy, experiments that were conducted in order to further improve the model accuracy and finally compares the implemented model with existing solutions.

Film Suggestions Based on CSFD User Profiles
Janko, Pavel ; Šůstek, Martin (referee) ; Uhlíř, Václav (advisor)
This thesis covers the topic of utilizing neural nets for recommending movies. The principle of using neural nets with machine learning and both the general and the advanced techniques of creating a recommender system are also covered in the thesis. The core of the thesis is the design, implementation and finally the evaluation of a system for movie recommendations based upon the data mined from the user profiles from the ČSFD (Czech-Slovak film database). In order to accomplish this goal the system utilizies an explicit factorization model based on collaborative filtering between items to predict an accurate rating that the user would presumably give to a movie after watching it. This thesis also describes the relation between dataset size and prediction accuracy and demonstrates this accuracy by analyzing user feedback.

Mobile App for Pairing Movies to Watch
Tetauer, Pavel ; Chlubna, Tomáš (referee) ; Kapinus, Michal (advisor)
The goal of this thesis was to create a mobile application for the Android platform that will allow users to solve the problem of choosing movies in different groups of people. Based on the chosen preferences in the group, the application offers movies for rating to each member. Users rate these movies like “I want to see” / “I don’t want to see" and the application finds full and partial matches based on this rating. Users can display these matches and group creators have the option to select one of the found matches for watching. Thesis describes the process of designing and implementation of this application and an important part of the work is also testing, where, based on feedback, a future development plan was presented.

Gender analysis of the of female heroines in computer games
Krobová, Tereza ; Švelch, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Baslarová, Iva (referee)
This work focuses on a gender analysis of female characters in video games, specifically the action genre of computer games in which players play from the perspective of a third party (ie see a playable character on canvas). Pays attention to very specific situations in which the female figure is markedly ambivalent status - show clearly feminine characteristics, it moves but clearly masculine space and pay the archetypal clearly masculine activities. Working with so anlýzou konrkétních computer games and playable characters trying to determine whether computer games as a new medium for his portrayal of female characters contribute to gender stereotypes and whether, therefore, become another medium, that these stereotypes produces and reproduces that deconstructs these stereotypes and changing, or whether it even creates new stereotypes.
