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.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng):Dimensionality Reduction (DR) is the process of finding a reduced representation of a data set according to some defined criteria.
DR may be performed in both unsupervised and supervised settings.
Several techniques have been proposed in the literature for unsupervised DR, where the aim is usually to preserve some intrinsic characteristics of the data without using the output information.
In most cases they are preferred as a preprocessing step while some may end up with clustering or visualizations.
While much focus has been on unsupervised methods, supervised techniques are preferred when every sample has its output information.
Even though obtaining this information may be expensive for some tasks, this supports supervised methods in trying to avoid the curse of dimensionality where the space may be sparse.
The output information allows the methods to focus on each points' real neighbors unlike unsupervised methods.

In this thesis we aim to develop a supervised DR technique called Supervised Probability Preserving Projection (SPPP) that operates on probabilistic relations between points.
More specifically we learn a linear transformation matrix that maps the input samples on to a projection space where the differences between the probabilistic similarities of the input covariates and their responses are minimized, given a neighborhood function.

This thesis begins by suggesting three probabilistic neighborhood functions for a recently proposed method called Supervised Distance Preserving Projections (SDPP).
Motivations from the experimental results on synthetic examples leads to the development and introduction of a novel technique called Supervised Probability Preserving Projection (SPPP).
The formulation of SPPP and optimizations for three versions namely Gaussian, Heavy-tail and Linear are presented.
The experiments indicate competitive performance of SPPP compared to recent state-of-the-art methods suggesting its use for both regression and classification tasks alike.
