    Calculating the VC-dimension of decision trees
    (IEEE, 2009) Aslan, Özlem; Yıldız, Olcay Taner; Alpaydın, Ahmet İbrahim Ethem
    We propose an exhaustive search algorithm that calculates the VC-dimension of univariate decision trees with binary features. The VC-dimension of the univariate decision tree with binary features depends on (i) the VC-dimension values of the left and right subtrees, (ii) the number of inputs, and (iii) the number of nodes in the tree. From a training set of example trees whose VC-dimensions are calculated by exhaustive search, we fit a general regressor to estimate the VC-dimension of any binary tree. These VC-dimension estimates are then used to get VC-generalization bounds for complexity control using SRM in decision trees, i.e., pruning. Our simulation results shows that SRM-pruning using the estimated VC-dimensions finds trees that are as accurate as those pruned using cross-validation.

    Raylı sistemlerde yüksek gerilim aksamının otomatik denetimi
    (IEEE, 2014-04-23) Ağdoğan, Didem; Babacan, Veysel Karani; Eskil, Mustafa Taner
    Raylı sistemlerde yolculugun sorunsuz tamamla-nabilmesi için sistem bütünlüğü kritik öneme sahiptir. Sistem bütünlüğü, lokomotif ve vagonlar haricinde katener (yüksek gerilim) hattı, pantograf ve raylara bağlıdır. Katener hattı ve pantograf, lokomotife elektrik iletimini sağlarken rayların seviyesi pantografın elektrik hattına düzenli temasına etki eder. Raylarda oluşabilecek çöküntüler katener hattı ile pantograf arasında ark (kıvılcım) oluşumuna neden olur. Katener hattının pantograf sınırları dışına çıkması, pantografta oluşabilecek çentikler ve ark oluşumu lokomotif üzerinden anlık izlenebilir. Bu çalışmada amacımız, bu üç ögeden kaynaklanabilecek hataları kameralı bir sistemle, gerçek zamanlı ve otomatik izleyerek tren yolculuğunun güvenli ve kesintisiz yapılmasına katkıda bulunmaktır.

    Mixture of Gaussian models and bayes error under differential privacy
    (2011) Xi, Bowei; Kantarcıoğlu, Murat; İnan, Ali
    Gaussian mixture models are an important tool in Bayesian decision theory. In this study, we focus on building such models over statistical database protected under differential privacy. Our approach involves querying necessary statistics from a database and building a Bayesian classifier over the noise added responses generated according to differential privacy. We formally analyze the sensitivity of our query set. Since there are multiple methods to query a statistic, either directly or indirectly, we analyze the sensitivities for different querying methods. Furthermore we establish theoretical bounds for the Bayes error for the univariate (one dimensional) case. We study the Bayes error for the multivariate (high dimensional) case in experiments with both simulated data and real life data. We discover that adding Laplace noise to a statistic under certain constraint is problematic. For example variance-covariance matrix is no longer positive definite after noise addition. We propose a heuristic method to fix the noise added variance-covariance matrix.

    Univariate margin tree
    (Springer, 2010) Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    In many pattern recognition applications, first decision trees are used due to their simplicity and easily interpretable nature. In this paper, we propose a new decision tree learning algorithm called univariate margin tree, where for each continuous attribute, the best split is found using convex optimization. Our simulation results on 47 datasets show that the novel margin tree classifier performs at least as good as C4.5 and LDT with a similar time complexity. For two class datasets it generates smaller trees than C4.5 and LDT without sacrificing from accuracy, and generates significantly more accurate trees than C4.5 and LDT for multiclass datasets with one-vs-rest methodology.

    A designing practice and two coding practices for extreme programming (XP)
    (Springer Verlag, 2003) Yıldız, Mustafa; Kuru, Selahattin
    This paper introduces three new XP practices and reports the experience of applying them to web based software development. These are issue- based programming, comment-first coding and just in time code ownership. The example project is development of an on-line student information and registration software for a university.

    Driver recognition using gaussian mixture models and decision fusion techniques
    (Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2008) Benli, Kristin Surpuhi; Düzağaç, Remzi; Eskil, Mustafa Taner
    In this paper we present our research in driver recognition. The goal of this study is to investigate the performance of different classifier fusion techniques in a driver recognition scenario. We are using solely driving behavior signals such as break and accelerator pedal pressure, engine RPM, vehicle speed; steering wheel angle for identifying the driver identities. We modeled each driver using Gaussian Mixture Models, obtained posterior probabilities of identities and combined these scores using different fixed mid trainable (adaptive) fusion methods. We observed error rates is low as 0.35% in recognition of 100 drivers using trainable combiners. We conclude that the fusion of multi-modal classifier results is very successful in biometric recognition of a person in a car setting.

    Mobile applications discovery: a subscriber-centric approach
    (Wiley Periodicals, 2011-03) Erman, Bilgehan; İnan, Ali; Nagarajan, Ramesh; Uzunalioğlu, Hüseyin
    Rapid adoption of smartphones and the business success of the Apple App Store have resulted in the rampant growth of mobile applications. Seeking new revenue opportunities from application development has created a gold rush. However, free or very cheap applications constitute a great bulk of the application downloads putting great pricing pressure on the developers. Furthermore, usage statistics suggest that most of the applications have been either one-trick applications or are downright useless, meriting no attention from the user beyond the first day. This is not surprising since cheap prices will dissuade developers from investing large sums of money to continue to develop more sophisticated, high quality applications. Developers have been complaining about the lack of visibility of their applications in stores that are beginning to resemble a high volume warehouse. It is clear that enhancing application discovery and building better marketing tools will be essential for the continued success of the mobile application marketplace and application stores. This paper proposes and investigates techniques for effective discovery of applications by matching user interests with application characteristics, with a special focus on adapting classical data mining techniques to user ratings of the applications. The user ratings are leveraged to make recommendations on potential applications of interest.

    Comment on "Modified Baptista type chaotic cryptosystem via matrix secret key" [Phys. Lett. A 372 (2008) 5427]
    (Elsevier Science BV, 2009-09-07) Rhouma, Rhouma; Solak, Ercan; Arroyo, David; Li, Shujun; Alvarez, Gonzalo; Belghith, Safya Mdimegh
    In this comment, we analyze a recently proposed Baptista-like cryptosystem and show that it is not invertible. Others weaknesses are also reported. A modified version of this cryptosystem is proposed to show how to overcome the non-invertibility.

    Incremental construction of rule ensembles using classifiers produced by different class orderings
    (IEEE, 2016) Yıldız, Olcay Taner; Ulaş, Aydın
    In this paper, we discuss a novel approach to incrementally construct a rule ensemble. The approach constructs an ensemble from a dynamically generated set of rule classifiers. Each classifier in this set is trained by using a different class ordering. We investigate criteria including accuracy, ensemble size, and the role of starting point in the search. Fusion is done by averaging. Using 22 data sets, floating search finds small, accurate ensembles in polynomial time.

    Visual modeling of Turkish morphology
    (European Language Resources Association (ELRA), 2020-05-16) Özenç, Berke; Solak, Ercan
    In this paper, we describe the steps in a visual modeling of Turkish morphology using diagramming tools. We aimed to make modeling easier and more maintainable while automating much of the code generation. We released the resulting analyzer, MorTur, and the diagram conversion tool, DiaMor as free, open-source utilities. MorTur analyzer is also publicly available on its web page as a web service. MorTur and DiaMor are part of our ongoing efforts in building a set of natural language processing tools for Turkic languages under a consistent framework.
