Abstract:
Předkládaná práce se zabývá problémem automatizované syntézy pravděpodobnostních systémů: máme-li rodinu Markovských řetězců, jak lze efektivně identifikovat ten který odpovídá zadané specifikaci? Takové rodiny často vznikají v nejrůznějších oblastech inženýrství při modelování systémů s neurčitostí a rozhodování i těch nejjednodušších syntézních otázek představuje NP-těžký problém. V dané práci my zkoumáme existující techniky založené na protipříklady řízené induktivní syntéze (counterexample-guided inductive synthesis, CEGIS) a na zjemňování abstrakce (counterexample-guided abstraction refin

A much pursued ontological capability is knowledge reuse and sharing. One aspect of this is reuse of ontologies across different applications, including construction of other ontologies. Another aspect is the reuse of knowledge that is founded on ontologies, which, in principle, is attainable in that an ontology renders well-defined and accessible the meaning of concepts that underly the knowledge. In this thesis we address both these aspects of reuse, grounding the study in the problem of synthesis of structural ecological models. One basis for the design of ecological models, along with huma

Reinforcement learning is a general and powerful way to formulate complex learning problems and acquire good system behaviour.

This formulation does not require a training set with correct responses, and allows the system to become better than its teacher. In reinforcement learning much of the burden is moved from the teacher to the training algorithm. The exact an
