    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.

    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.

    Numerical integration methods for simulation of mass-spring-damper systems
    (Springer-Verlag, 2012) Özgüz, Mete; Eskil, Mustafa Taner
    The dynamics of a face are often implemented as a system of connected particles with various forces acting upon them. Animation of such a system requires the approximation of velocity and position of each particle through numerical integration. There are many numerical integrators that are commonly used in the literature. We conducted experiments to determine the suitability of numerical integration methods in approximating the particular dynamics of mass-spring-damper systems. Among Euler, semi-implicit Euler, Runge-Kutta and Leapfrog, we found that simulation with Leapfrog numerical integration characterizes a mass-spring-damper system best in terms of the energy loss of the overall system.

    Design of real-time VBR traffic shaping schemes by considering the impact of both buffer overflows and deadline violations
    (Int Inst Informatics & Systemics, 2005) Dağ, Tamer; Stavrakakis, Ioannis
    While smoothing the traffic of time sensitive applications at the user premises can reduce the losses due to buffer overflows within the network, it may have an adverse effect on the losses due to the deadline violations due to the delay introduced by the smoothing process. In this paper, these loss factors are investigated and some simple metrics that capture the potential for buffer overflow and deadline violation losses under a traffic shaping scheme are introduced. Such metrics can be useful for the design of effective traffic shaping schemes that balance the adverse effects of buff-er overflow and deadline violation losses. An example of a more effective traffic shaping scheme is presented and its performance is compared to that of some more traditional schemes.

    Palmprint verification using SIFT majority voting
    (Springer-Verlag, 2012) Abeysundera, Hasith Pasindu; Eskil, Mustafa Taner
    In this paper we illustrate the implementation of a robust, real-time biometric system for identity verification based on palmprint images. The palmprint images are preprocessed to align the major axes of hand shapes and to extract the palm region. We extract features using Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT). Classification of individual SIFT features is done through KNN. The class of the hand image is decided by a majority based voting among its classified SIFT features. We demonstrate on the CASIA and PolyU datasets that the proposed system achieves authentication accuracy comparable to other state of the art algorithms.

    Regularizing soft decision trees
    (Springer, 2013) Yıldız, Olcay Taner; Alpaydın, Ahmet İbrahim Ethem
    Recently, we have proposed a new decision tree family called soft decision trees where a node chooses both its left and right children with different probabilities as given by a gating function, different from a hard decision node which chooses one of the two. In this paper, we extend the original algorithm by introducing local dimension reduction via L-1 and L-2 regularization for feature selection and smoother fitting. We compare our novel approach with the standard decision tree algorithms over 27 classification data sets. We see that both regularized versions have similar generalization ability with less complexity in terms of number of nodes, where L-2 seems to work slightly better than L-1.

    Türkçe kelime ağı KeNet için arayüz
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019-04) Özçelik, Rıza; Uludoğan, Gökçe; Parlar, Selen; Bakay, Özge; Ergelen, Özlem; Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    Kelime ağları, bir dildeki kelimeler arasındaki bağlantıları, eş anlam kümeleri oluşturarak ve bu kümeleri birbirine çeşitli anlamsal bağıntılar ile bağlayarak temsil eden bir çizge veri yapısıdır. Doğal dil işleme alanındaki en yaygın bilinen kelime ağı WordNet 1990 yılında İngilizce için oluşturulmuşken, Türkçe için en kapsamlı ağ, 2018 yılında oluşturulan KeNet’tir. Bildiğimiz kadarıyla, içinde 80000 eş anlam kümesi ve 25 farklı anlamsal bağlantı bulunan KeNet için şu ana kadar geliştirilen bir kullanıcı arayüzü yoktur. Bu çalışmada, KeNet çizgesinde, anlamsal bağlantıları kullanarak eş anlam kümeleri arasında çevrimiçi olarak gezinmeyi sağlayan bir arayüz sunuyoruz. Bu arayüz sayesinde, bir söz öbeği KeNet’te aranabilir ve eş anlam kümeleri arasındaki üst/alt anlam, parça-bütün ilişkileri gibi ilişkiler kullanılarak KeNet üzerinde gezilebilir. Ayrıca, herhangi bir eş anlam kümesinin, varsa, İngilizce karşılığının kimliği de görüntülenebilir ve bu kümeye WordNet’e ait internet sayfasından erişilebilir.

    A robust localization framework to handle noisy measurements in wireless sensor networks
    (IEEE, 2009-09-14) Erten, Cesim; Karataş, Ömer
    We construct a robust localization framework to handle noisy measurements in wireless sensor networks. Traditionally many approaches employ the distance information gathered from ranging devices of the sensor nodes to achieve localization. However the measurements of these devices may contain noise both as hardware noise and as environmental noise due to the employment conditions of the network. It Is necessary to provide a general framework that handles such a noise in data and yet still be applicable within several localization algorithms. In order to handle noise in distance measurements, our framework utilizes convex constraints and confidence intervals of a random variable. At the end of the localization process nodes are assigned to a set of feasible regions with corresponding probabilities. The accuracy of the localization can be adjusted and the framework can easily be embedded to work within previously suggested localization algorithms.

    The modified proactive feedback based flow control scheme for best-effort applications
    (International Institute of Informatics and Systemics (IIIS), 2007) Dağ, Tamer
    High speed networks that are characterized by large bandwidth propagation delay products are expected to support applications with diverse traffic characteristics and Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Thus, flow control schemes are needed for an efficient usage of the network bandwidth. A proactive feedback (PF) based flow control scheme developed by the author attempts to eliminate the bandwidth mismatch problem seen in such networks by generating and transmitting early feedbacks based on the application characteristics. In this paper, an extension of this scheme to large scale networks is presented. Due to the bottlenecked network nodes, some best effort applications may not be able to use their assigned bandwidth. For such cases, a modified version of the proactive feedback based (MPF) flow control scheme is introduced. It is observed that without affecting the other applications the best effort traffic can be significantly increased.

    Semi-automatic adaptation of high-polygon wireframe face models through inverse perspective projection
    (Springer-Verlag, 2012) Benli, Kristin Surpuhi; Ağdoğan, Didem; Özgüz, Mete; Eskil, Mustafa Taner
    Precise registration of a generic 3D face model with a subject's face is a critical stage for model based analysis of facial expressions. In this study we propose a semi-automatic model fitting algorithm to fit a high-polygon wireframe model to a single image of a face. We manually mark important landmark points both on the wireframe model and the face image. We carry out an initial alignment by translating and scaling the wireframe model. We then translate the landmark vertices in the 3D wireframe model so that they coincide with inverse perspective projections of image landmark points. The vertices that are not manually labeled as landmark are translated with a weighted sum of vectorial displacement of k neighboring landmark vertices, inversely weighted by their 3D distances to the vertex under consideration. Our experiments indicate that we can fit a high-polygon model to the subject's face with modest computational complexity.
