    Unsupervised textile defect detection using convolutional neural networks
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2021-12) Koulali, Imane; Eskil, Mustafa Taner
    In this study, we propose a novel motif-based approach for unsupervised textile anomaly detection that combines the benefits of traditional convolutional neural networks with those of an unsupervised learning paradigm. It consists of five main steps: preprocessing, automatic pattern period extraction, patch extraction, features selection and anomaly detection. This proposed approach uses a new dynamic and heuristic method for feature selection which avoids the drawbacks of initialization of the number of filters (neurons) and their weights, and those of the backpropagation mechanism such as the vanishing gradients, which are common practice in the state-of-the-art methods. The design and training of the network are performed in a dynamic and input domain-based manner and, thus, no ad-hoc configurations are required. Before building the model, only the number of layers and the stride are defined. We do not initialize the weights randomly nor do we define the filter size or number of filters as conventionally done in CNN-based approaches. This reduces effort and time spent on hyper-parameter initialization and fine-tuning. Only one defect-free sample is required for training and no further labeled data is needed. The trained network is then used to detect anomalies on defective fabric samples. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on the Patterned Fabrics benchmark dataset. Our algorithm yields reliable and competitive results (on recall, precision, accuracy and f1-measure) compared to state-of-the-art unsupervised approaches, in less time, with efficient training in a single epoch and a lower computational cost.

    A novel biometric identification system based on fingertip electrocardiogram and speech signals
    (Elsevier Inc., 2022-03) Güven, Gökhan; Güz, Ümit; Gürkan, Hakan
    In this research work, we propose a one-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based biometric identification system that combines speech and ECG modalities. The aim is to find an effective identification strategy while enhancing both the confidence and the performance of the system. In our first approach, we have developed a voting-based ECG and speech fusion system to improve the overall performance compared to the conventional methods. In the second approach, we have developed a robust rejection algorithm to prevent unauthorized access to the fusion system. We also presented a newly developed ECG spike and inconsistent beats removal algorithm to detect and eliminate the problems caused by portable fingertip ECG devices and patient movements. Furthermore, we have achieved a system that can work with only one authorized user by adding a Universal Background Model to our algorithm. In the first approach, the proposed fusion system achieved a 100% accuracy rate for 90 people by taking the average of 3-fold cross-validation. In the second approach, by using 90 people as genuine classes and 26 people as imposter classes, the proposed system achieved 92% accuracy in identifying genuine classes and 96% accuracy in rejecting imposter classes.

    A novel similarity based unsupervised technique for training convolutional filters
    (IEEE, 2023-05-17) Erkoç, Tuğba; Eskil, Mustata Taner
    Achieving satisfactory results with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) depends on how effectively the filters are trained. Conventionally, an appropriate number of filters is carefully selected, the filters are initialized with a proper initialization method and trained with backpropagation over several epochs. This training scheme requires a large labeled dataset, which is costly and time-consuming to obtain. In this study, we propose an unsupervised approach that extracts convolutional filters from a given dataset in a self-organized manner by processing the training set only once without using backpropagation training. The proposed method allows for the extraction of filters from a given dataset in the absence of labels. In contrast to previous studies, we no longer need to select the best number of filters and a suitable filter weight initialization scheme. Applying this method to the MNIST, EMNIST-Digits, Kuzushiji-MNIST, and Fashion-MNIST datasets yields high test performances of 99.19%, 99.39%, 95.03%, and 90.11%, respectively, without applying backpropagation training or using any preprocessed and augmented data.

    An adaptive locally connected neuron model: Focusing neuron
    (Elsevier B.V., 2021-01-02) Tek, Faik Boray
    This paper presents a new artificial neuron model capable of learning its receptive field in the topological domain of inputs. The experiments include tests of focusing neuron networks of one or two hidden layers on synthetic and well-known image recognition data sets. The results demonstrated that the focusing neurons can move their receptive fields towards more informative inputs. In the simple two-hidden layer networks, the focusing layers outperformed the dense layers in the classification of the 2D spatial data sets. Moreover, the focusing networks performed better than the dense networks even when 70% of the weights were pruned. The tests on convolutional networks revealed that using focusing layers instead of dense layers for the classification of convolutional features may work better in some data sets.

    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 Erdoğan
    Computational 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.

    El yazısı rakam sınıflandırması için gözetimsiz benzerlik tabanlı evrişimler
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) Erkoç, Tuğba; Eskil, Mustafa Taner
    Effective training of filters in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) ensures their success. In order to achieve good classification results in CNNs, filters must be carefully initialized, trained and fine-tuned. We propose an unsupervised method that allows the discovery of filters from the given dataset in a single epoch without specifying the number of filters hyper-parameter in convolutional layers. Our proposed method gradually builds the convolutional layers by a discovery routine that extracts a number of features that adequately represent the complexity of the input domain. The discovered filters represent the patterns in the domain, so they do not require any initialization method or backpropagation training for fine tuning purposes. Our method achieves 99.03% accuracy on MNIST dataset without applying any data augmentation techniques.
