Presentation of Diploma Thesis by Ioannis Theotokatos

We are pleased to announce the successful completion and presentation of the diploma thesis by Ioannis Theotokatos, titled:

“Διερευνητική ανάλυση και σύγκριση ειδών metal μουσικής από περιοχές της Ευρώπης, της Αμερικής και της Ασίας”
(“Exploratory Data Analysis of Different Metal Music Genres from Europe, America, and Asia”)

This thesis focused on analyzing and comparing the musical characteristics of metal songs from three major regions—Europe, America, and Asia. Key aspects of the project include:

  • Building a comprehensive database of metal music tracks from various subgenres.
  • Developing algorithms and methodologies to extract core acoustic features using music information retrieval tools.
  • Applying exploratory data analysis techniques to statistically compare the extracted features across the regions.
  • Visualizing the results through graphical representations to highlight the differences and commonalities among the studied areas.

The work successfully combines technical expertise with a passion for music, offering valuable insights into the diversity and structure of metal music worldwide.

The thesis will be presented on September 13, 2024, via teleconference, under the supervision of Associate Professor Athanasios Koutras.

Congratulations to Ioannis Theotokatos for this excellent achievement and contribution to the field of music analysis and data science!

Presentation of Diploma Thesis by Ioannis Frouzis and Dimitrios Volakis

We are excited to announce the successful completion and presentation of the diploma thesis by Ioannis Frouzis and Dimitrios Volakis, titled:

“Μελέτη και ανάπτυξη συστήματος αναγνώρισης συναισθήματος τραγουδιών με χρήση τεχνικών μηχανικής μάθησης”
(“Song Emotion Recognition Using Machine Learning Techniques”)

This groundbreaking work involved the creation of a system capable of automatically recognizing emotions in songs using advanced machine learning techniques. A major highlight of the project was the development of the first-ever database of traditional Greek songs from various regions across Greece, a valuable resource for future research in this domain.

The students employed pre-trained neural networks and classifiers, leveraging diverse acoustic features to build a robust emotion recognition system. Their innovative approach not only advances the field of music analysis but also highlights the emotional depth and cultural significance of Greek traditional music.

We are proud to share that Ioannis and Dimitrios will continue their work as members of the SIPPRE Lab, further refining and expanding this important project. Their efforts exemplify the lab’s commitment to integrating technology with cultural preservation and innovation.
