Práce popisuje základy principu funkčnosti neuronů a vytvoření umělých neuronových sítí. Je zde důkladně popsána struktura a funkce neuronů a ukázán nejpoužívanější algoritmus pro učení neuronů. Základy fuzzy logiky, včetně jejich výhod a nevýhod, jsou rovněž prezentovány. Detailněji je popsán algoritmus zpětného šíření chyb a adaptivní neuro-fuzzy inferenční systém. Tyto techniky poskytují efektivní způsoby učení neuronových sítí.

This diploma thesis deals with the prediction of financial time series on capital markets using artificial intelligence methods. There are created several dynamic architectures of artificial neural networks, which are learned and subsequently used for prediction of future movements of shares. Based on the results an assessment and recommendations for working with artificial neural networks are provided.

This thesis focuses on fuzzy neural networks. The combination of the fuzzy logic and artificial neural networks leads to the development of more robust systems. These systems are used in various field of the research, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and control theory. First, we provide a quick overview of underlying neural networks and fuzzy systems to explain fundamental ideas that form the basis of the fields, and follow with the introduction of the fuzzy neural network theory, classification and application. Then we describe a design and a realization of the fuzzy associative memory, as an example of these systems. Finally, we benchmark the realization using the pattern recognition and control tasks. The results are evaluated and compared against existing systems.
