2009 op @at@ matfyz .dot. cz e-mail me first, please I enjoy researching and applying AI methods in various domains. Combining my research background and experience in the software development, I am able to deliver novel and creative solutions. Google Software Engineer RSJ Invest, a.s. R&D team Machine learning techniques research AI/Machine learning specialist Implemented python library for large-scale ML regression techniques. Efficient processing of GBytes of datasets on multi-core servers. Support for neural networks, RBF' and evolutionary algorithm optimizaiton. Open-sourced at http://mollml.sf.net Machine learning-based modelling to aid proprietary statistical models. Google System Health Platforms Team Machine learning project Software Engineering Internship Implemented machine learning algorithms for model training: artificial neural networks, radial basis functions and support vector machines. Incorporated Fast Artificial Neural Network Library (FANN) and Torch machine learning library, submitted patches to original authors. Developed MATLAB utils for analyzing the training results and visualization. Reduced the estimation error to 40%, compared to the currently used human-made model. Designed and coded C++ / Python tools that use google cluster to gather GB's of data and filter out interesting examples for model training. Speeded up existing data-acquisition libraries for specific query types. Altar Games Legends of Valhalla Computer game project Lead Developer / AI Specialist Lead 8 developers to create a prototype implementation. Coordinated with other departments and the Engine team On-time delivery Designed and implemented the opponent AI module for the prototype. Programmed AI infrastructure using Stackless Python + SWIG Introduced systematic development techniques. Trac system, Subversion, Milestone system, Design architecture specification Expanded the team of developers Galaxylife Galaxylife Multi-platform MMO game Team Leader Gathered and managed a team of developers in Czechia, reducing the development costs compared to the UK. Analysis, estimates, risk review for each milestone. Designed modular architecture for a thin multi-platform client. The team delivered the first working version within 3 month from clean start (analysis, architecture design, external libs research, build system, implementation). Implemented the game logic and various other parts (C++ / Java). Introduced protocol changes reducing client syncing delays and improving the security. Researched and implemented the interpolation module that allowed smooth animation appearance even with limited server updates. Open University, UK HALO project Knowledge acquisition via natural language - part of the DarmMatter team (Germany, UK, US) Research Fellow Designed and implemented plug-in that interfaced our Prolog-based WYSIWYM knowledge entering system with other teams' modules. Implemented extensions that utilized the shared knowledge base. This improved re-usability of the WYSIWYM plug-in by importing ontological and lexical concepts. IT Research Institute, UK Epoch demonstrator NLG / knowledge engineering Research Officer Adapted Prolog NLG system for multi-modal multi-lingual tour guide system. The module provided data for the visualization and text-to-speech system. student project, Charles University Almorea Real-time 3D multi-user game environment development kit Team leader Our group of 6 developers delivered large-scale project: 100 000 lines of code (mostly C++), 14 person-years. UML design, implementation, user documentation. Multiple platform support: Linux, Window$, Mac. Lead the server team that successfully implemented the real-time multi-server system, core data object structures and an editor. Developed an environment for AI and scripting. Designed and developed language-independent dynamically loadable extensions (C, C++, lisp/scheme - extensible to other). Developed a novel stochastic motion planner based on RRT (Rapidly-exploring Random Trees). This algorithm provided approximated results applicable in the real-time domain even though the problem is PSPACE-hard. Annie C++ Neural network library Developer open source project Implemented the Kohonen self-organizing map. Improved implementation of Hopfield network that allowed to use more than 10000 neurons at acceptable speed. Implemented recurrent neural network that was later used to control mobile robots. Implemented visualization and data I/O plug-ins (SDL_Image, OpenGL). Kooule Web mining and categorization Researcher/Developer Nuabi Researched and implemented a module that extracted semantic information from HTML/XML input. Employed regular grammars, heuristics and verification from various data sources. Reached 95% accuracy on postal addresses and other contact information on the Czech web sites. CORBA proxy Analyst / Developer GIOP stream transformer Financial Support Services Developed a way to guess message semantics without the need for additional information from the CORBA server. The module was able to correctly re-locate object references in the GIOP stream. Eurobot 2003 competition Autonomous mobile robot controller Researcher/Developer Charles University Implemented the high-level strategy for the robot in (C/C++, Embedded Linux environment). The controller was able to deal with fuzzy information coming from camera and other sensors and switch strategy complexity based on available information. Awarded to the team for the unique arm mechanics and the strategy to utilize it. Inter/intranet systems Supervisor, Developer C++/Java projects for Shell CZ and the Government Intax Support and programming (in C) for Shell accounting services project. Working with AIX, OS/2 - VisualAge . Developing Java/JSP applications. Supervising development of a JSP application. Administrating Apache/Tomcat servers on Linux. Working with Oracle and Mysql databases. EIMS Analyst / Developer e-Insurance Management System FSS Working on a large-scale system for insurance companies. Developing Java servants, servlets and JSP. Implementing Interbase/Firebird utilities (in C). Working with NetBeans and Eclipse IDEs. Protect Developer, Reverse engineer Transparent Window$ encryption using special hardware, PKI ICZ (former DECROS) Debugged undocumented Shell32 features and implemented those to our product, improving usability. Researched the novel Kerberos and public key cryptography techniques. Investigated the Windows PKI implementation, allowing the company to plan the next steps within this new framework. HTML utilities Developer Link checker and other tools K&P Software, Tábor Implemented link checker that improved quality of the HTML published content. Developing HTML dead links and unused files checker (C++). Developing data migration utilities. - - - - - - Sussex UniversityBrighton, UK MSc (Master's) - Evolutionary and Adaptive Systems (with distinction) Subjects: Evolutionary methods, Artificial Intelligence Master thesis: On-line learning in real-time environments.
