Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.

Abstract (eng): This thesis can be placed in the broader field of Music Information Retrieval (MIR).
MIR refers to a huge set of strategies, software and tools through which computers can analyse and predict interesting patterns from audio data.
It is a diverse and multidisciplinary field, encompassing fields like signal processing, machine learning, and musicology and music theory, to name a few.

Methods of dimensionality reduction are widely used in data mining and machine learning.
These help in reducing the complexity of the classification/clustering algorithms etc., used to process the data.
They also help in studying some useful statistical properties of the dataset.
In this Master's Thesis, a personalized music collection is taken and audio features are extracted from the songs, by using the Mel spectrogram.

A music tensor is built from these features.
Then, two approaches to unfold the tensor and convert it into a 2-way data matrix are studied.
After unfolding the tensor, dimensionality reduction techniques like Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and classic metric Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) are applied.
Unfolding the tensor and performing either MDS or PCA is equivalent to performing Multiway Principal Component Analysis (MPCA).
A third method Multilevel Simultaneous Component Analysis (MLSCA), which builds a composite model for each song is also applied.

The number of components to retain is obtained by hold-out validation.
The fitness of each of these models were evaluated with the T2 and Q statistic, and compared with each other.
The aim of this thesis is to produce a dimensionality reduction which can be used for further MIR tasks like better clustering of data with respect to e.g. artists / genres.
