Yayın Implementing lightweight, dynamic hierarchical key assignment scheme for cloud computing(IEEE, 2024-03-25) Çelikbilek, İbrahim; Çeliktaş, Barış; Özdemir, EnverIn this paper, we propose the implementation and adaptation of a hierarchical key assignment scheme (HKAS) previously developed in our research to improve access control in cloud computing environments. The secret keys generated and managed by this scheme can be utilized for various purposes within the cloud computing, including data encryption, integrity checks, secure communications, and accessing critical infrastructures or services. Our implementation performs dynamic update operations with minimal computational cost and storage demands, as users within the hierarchical structure do not store any key components. Through security analysis, the scheme demonstrates strong key indistinguishability security (S-KI-security), effectively safeguarding keys against various cryptographic attacks. The scheme's flexibility allows it to be tailored to specific organizational needs, whether for securing sensitive data, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards, or facilitating secure data sharing and collaboration in cloud environments. Thus, we advocate for the practical implementation of the HKAS in transitioning to cloud environments.Yayın Hotel sales forecasting with LSTM and N-BEATS(IEEE, 2023-09-15) Özçelik, Şuayb Talha; Tek, Faik Boray; Şekerci, ErdalTime series forecasting aims to model the change in data points over time. It is applicable in many areas, such as energy consumption, solid waste generation, economic indicators (inflation, currency), global warming (heat, water level), and hotel sales forecasting. This paper focuses on hotel sales forecasting with machine learning and deep learning solutions. A simple forecast solution is to repeat the last observation (Naive method) or the average of the past observations (Average method). More sophisticated solutions have been developed over the years, such as machine learning methods that have linear (Linear Regression, ARIMA) and nonlinear (Polynomial Regression and Support Vector Regression) methods. Different kinds of neural networks are developed and used in time series forecasting problems, and two of the successful ones are Recurrent Neural Networks and N-BEATS. This paper presents a forecasting analysis of hotel sales from Türkiye and Cyprus. We showed that N-BEATS is a solid choice against LSTM, especially in long sequences. Moreover, N-BEATS has slightly better inference time results in long sequences, but LSTM is faster in short sequences.Yayın Auto Train Brain increases the variance of the gamma band sample entropy in the left hemisphere in dyslexia: a pilot study(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Eroğlu, GünetAuto Train Brain is a mobile app that improves reading speed and reading comprehension in dyslexia. The efficacy of Auto Train Brain was proven with a clinical trial. We have analyzed the long-term training effects of the Auto Train Brain on dyslexic children. We have collected QEEG data from 14 channels from 21 dyslexic children for 100 sessions and calculated the sample entropy in the gamma bands for the left posterior brain (T7, P7, and O1). Although the gamma band values fluctuate and no permanent increase in the gamma band values is detected after Auto Train Brain training at T7, P7, and O1, the variance of gamma band sample entropy increases as the neurofeedback session number increases. We have concluded that the Auto Train Brain increases the flexibility of the left brain in dyslexia.Yayın Convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm based facial emotion recognition (FER) system for FER-2013 dataset(IEEE, 2022-11-18) Ezerceli, Özay; Eskil, Mustafa TanerFacial expression recognition (FER) is the key to understanding human emotions and feelings. It is an active area of research since human thoughts can be collected, processed, and used in customer satisfaction, politics, and medical domains. Automated FER systems had been developed and have been used to recognize humans’ emotions but it has been a quite challenging problem in machine learning due to the high intra-class variation. The first models were using known methods such as Support Vector Machines (SVM), Bayes classifier, Fuzzy Techniques, Feature Selection, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) in their models but still, some limitations affect the accuracy critically such as subjectivity, occlusion, pose, low resolution, scale, illumination variation, etc. The ability of CNN boosts FER accuracy. Deep learning algorithms have emerged as the greatest way to produce the best results in FER in recent years. Various datasets were used to train, test, and validate the models. FER2013, CK+, JAFFE and FERG are some of the most popular datasets. To improve the accuracy of FER models, one dataset or a mix of datasets has been employed. Every dataset includes limitations and issues that have an impact on the model that is trained for it. As a solution to this problem, our state-of-the-art model based on deep learning architectures, particularly convolutional neural network architectures (CNN) with supportive techniques has been implemented. The proposed model achieved 93.7% accuracy with the combination of FER2013 and CK+ datasets for FER2013.Yayın Evaluating the English-Turkish parallel treebank for machine translation(TÜBİTAK, 2022-01-19) Görgün, Onur; Yıldız, Olcay TanerThis study extends our initial efforts in building an English-Turkish parallel treebank corpus for statistical machine translation tasks. We manually generated parallel trees for about 17K sentences selected from the Penn Treebank corpus. English sentences vary in length: 15 to 50 tokens including punctuation. We constrained the translation of trees by (i) reordering of leaf nodes based on suffixation rules in Turkish, and (ii) gloss replacement. We aim to mimic human annotator's behavior in real translation task. In order to fill the morphological and syntactic gap between languages, we do morphological annotation and disambiguation. We also apply our heuristics by creating Nokia English-Turkish Treebank (NTB) to address technical document translation tasks. NTB also includes 8.3K sentences in varying lengths. We validate the corpus both extrinsically and intrinsically, and report our evaluation results regarding perplexity analysis and translation task results. Results prove that our heuristics yield promising results in terms of perplexity and are suitable for translation tasks in terms of BLEU scores.Yayın Unreasonable effectiveness of last hidden layer activations for adversarial robustness(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) Tuna, Ömer Faruk; Çatak, Ferhat Özgür; Eskil, Mustafa TanerIn standard Deep Neural Network (DNN) based classifiers, the general convention is to omit the activation function in the last (output) layer and directly apply the softmax function on the logits to get the probability scores of each class. In this type of architectures, the loss value of the classifier against any output class is directly proportional to the difference between the final probability score and the label value of the associated class. Standard White-box adversarial evasion attacks, whether targeted or untargeted, mainly try to exploit the gradient of the model loss function to craft adversarial samples and fool the model. In this study, we show both mathematically and experimentally that using some widely known activation functions in the output layer of the model with high temperature values has the effect of zeroing out the gradients for both targeted and untargeted attack cases, preventing attackers from exploiting the model's loss function to craft adversarial samples. We've experimentally verified the efficacy of our approach on MNIST (Digit), CIFAR10 datasets. Detailed experiments confirmed that our approach substantially improves robustness against gradient-based targeted and untargeted attack threats. And, we showed that the increased non-linearity at the output layer has some ad-ditional benefits against some other attack methods like Deepfool attack.Yayın Graph convolutional network based virus-human protein-protein interaction prediction for novel viruses(Elsevier Ltd, 2022-08-13) Koca, Mehmet Burak; Nourani, Esmaeil; Abbasoğlu, Ferda; Karadeniz, İlknur; Sevilgen, Fatih ErdoğanComputational identification of human-virus protein-protein interactions (PHIs) is a worthwhile step towards understanding infection mechanisms. Analysis of the PHI networks is important for the determination of path-ogenic diseases. Prediction of these interactions is a popular problem since experimental detection of PHIs is both time-consuming and expensive. The available methods use biological features like amino acid sequences, molecular structure, or biological activities for prediction. Recent studies show that the topological properties of proteins in protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks increase the performance of the predictions. The basic network projections, random-walk-based models, or graph neural networks are used for generating topologically enriched (hybrid) protein embeddings. In this study, we propose a three-stage machine learning pipeline that generates and uses hybrid embeddings for PHI prediction. In the first stage, numerical features are extracted from the amino acid sequences using the Doc2Vec and Byte Pair Encoding method. The amino acid embeddings are used as node features while training a modified GraphSAGE model, which is an improved version of the graph convolutional network. Lastly, the hybrid protein embeddings are used for training a binary interaction classifier model that predicts whether there is an interaction between the given two proteins or not. The proposed method is evaluated with comprehensive experiments to test its functionality and compare it with the state-of-art methods. The experimental results on the benchmark dataset prove the efficiency of the proposed model by having a 3–23% better area under curve (AUC) score than its competitors.Yayın TENET: a new hybrid network architecture for adversarial defense(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023-08) Tuna, Ömer Faruk; Çatak, Ferhat Özgür; Eskil, Mustafa TanerDeep neural network (DNN) models are widely renowned for their resistance to random perturbations. However, researchers have found out that these models are indeed extremely vulnerable to deliberately crafted and seemingly imperceptible perturbations of the input, referred to as adversarial examples. Adversarial attacks have the potential to substantially compromise the security of DNN-powered systems and posing high risks especially in the areas where security is a top priority. Numerous studies have been conducted in recent years to defend against these attacks and to develop more robust architectures resistant to adversarial threats. In this study, we propose a new architecture and enhance a recently proposed technique by which we can restore adversarial samples back to their original class manifold. We leverage the use of several uncertainty metrics obtained from Monte Carlo dropout (MC Dropout) estimates of the model together with the model’s own loss function and combine them with the use of defensive distillation technique to defend against these attacks. We have experimentally evaluated and verified the efficacy of our approach on MNIST (Digit), MNIST (Fashion) and CIFAR10 datasets. In our experiments, we showed that our proposed method reduces the attack’s success rate lower than 5% without compromising clean accuracy.Yayın ISIKSumm at BioLaySumm task 1: BART-based summarization system enhanced with Bio-entity labels(Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), 2023-07-13) Çolak, Çağla; Karadeniz, İlknurCommunicating scientific research to the general public is an essential yet challenging task. Lay summaries, which provide a simplified version of research findings, can bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and public understanding. The BioLaySumm task (Goldsack et al., 2023) is a shared task that seeks to automate this process by generating lay summaries from biomedical articles. Two different datasets that have been created from curating two biomedical journals (PLOS and eLife) are provided by the task organizers. As a participant in this shared task, we developed a system to generate a lay summary from an article’s abstract and main text.
