Summary:

Measuring similarity in music data is a problem with various potential applications. In recent years, the task known as cover song identification has gained widespread attention. In cover song identification, the purpose is to determine whether a piece of music is a different rendition of a previous version of the composition...

Abstact:

We begin by studying a worst way to hang a painting on a wall. Encouraged by this unusual hanging method we advance to consider how to build a simple computing 'machine' by hanging paintings. Abstract mathematical ideas of knot theory and homotopy theory will be mentioned in passing, but the focus will be in concrete objects.

Title: An Algebraic Approach to Rank-Constrained Semidefinite Programming with Applications to Array Processing

Abstract:

Semidefinite programs are ubiquitous within a myriad of disciplines in engineering and applied mathematics. While these problems in their canonical form are...

Welcome to annual Get-together for doctoral students, professors, researchers and all friends of research at the School of Science!

This year the theme is:

Science 2.0 - How to get visibility for your research?

Leo Bhebhe, Lic.Sc.(Tech), will defend the dissertation "Service Continuity in 3GPP Mobile Networks" on 18 March 2016 at 12 noon in lecture hall T2, Konemiehentie 2, Espoo. The dissertation explored the handover procedures and evaluated the handover performance across 2G, 3G and 4G networks. The above studies generated many ideas for improvement of the products, i.e. defining new requirements for the future products that...

For the alumni day on 17 March 2016, Russian morning coffee, open science lectures, Science Slam, the seminar “Who is good enough to be a Finn?”, University Museum tours, and 2 alumni for the price of one to enter the Observatory. In addition, the Alumni of the Year, Tuomari Nurmio, will give a lecture on Kalevala in the banquet hall of the university, and the evening will reach its peak when Dumari ja...
