Automated Detection of Hate Speech and Offensive Language
Štajerová, Alžbeta ; Žmolíková, Kateřina (referee) ; Fajčík, Martin (advisor)
This thesis discusses hate speech and offensive language phenomenon, their respective definitions and their occurrence in natural language. It describes previously used methods of solving the detection. An evaluation of available data sets suitable for the problem of detection is provided. The thesis aims to provide additional methods of solving the detection of this issue and it compares the results of these methods. Five models were selected in total. Two of them are focused on feature extraction and the remaining three are neural network models.  I have experimentally evaluated the success of the implemented models. The results of this thesis allow for comparison of the typical approaches with the methods leveraging the newest findings in terms of machine learning that are used for the classification of hate speech and offensive language.

And the winner is... The presence of political slant in the movie production
Selep, Ján ; Stroukal, Dominik (advisor) ; Dušek, Libor (referee)
I study movie studio profit maximization based on an optimization of a political language in the dialogues. I explore the flexibility with which a rational firm slants language of its movies in order to get closer either to a Democratic or a Republican customer. Using computational linguistics I construct vectors of phrase frequency distribution based on a text of almost a decade of U.S. Congress transcripts and 457 randomly chosen movie subtitles. In order to measure distance between the phrase vectors I use chi square statistics and its Monte Carlo approximation. I find no evidence of political slant in movies neither in a movie studio comparison nor for a time-varying comparison of movies in different years. In addition I construct a slant index covering level of political language in a movie. Using the index I find no evidence of impact of political language on movie revenues.
