    Sınıflandırma için diferansiyel mahremiyete dayalı öznitelik seçimi
    (Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2018) Var, Esra; İnan, Ali
    Veri madenciliği ve makine öğrenmesi çözümlerinin en önemli ön aşamalarından biri yapılacak analizde kullanılacak verinin özniteliklerinin uygun bir alt kümesini belirlemektir. Sınıflandırma yöntemleri için bu işlem, bir özniteliğin sınıf niteliği ile ne oranda ilişkili olduğuna bakılarak yapılır. Kişisel gizliliği koruyan pek çok sınıflandırma çözümü bulunmaktadır. Ancak bu yöntemler için öznitelik seçimi yapan çözümler geliştirilmemiştir. Bu çalışmada, istatistiksel veritabanı güvenliğinde bilinen en kapsamlı ve güvenli çözüm olan diferansiyel mahremiyete dayalı özgün öznitelik seçimi yöntemleri sunulmaktadır. Önerilen bu yöntemler, yaygın olarak kullanılan bir veri madenciliği kütüphanesi olan WEKA ile entegre edilmiş ve deney sonuçları ile önerilen çözümlerin sınıflandırma başarımına olumlu etkileri gösterilmiştir.

    ANN activation function estimators for homomorphic encrypted inference
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025-06-13) Harb, Mhd Raja Abou; Çeliktaş, Barış
    Homomorphic Encryption (HE) enables secure computations on encrypted data, facilitating machine learning inference in sensitive environments such as healthcare and finance. However, efficiently handling non-linear activation functions, specifically Sigmoid and Tanh, remains a significant computational challenge for encrypted inference using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). This study introduces a lightweight, ANN-based estimator designed to accurately approximate activation functions under homomorphic encryption. Unlike traditional polynomial and piecewise linear approximations, the proposed ANN estimators achieve superior accuracy with lower computational overhead associated with bootstrapping or high-degree polynomial techniques. These estimators are trained on plaintext data and seamlessly integrated into encrypted inference pipelines, significantly outperforming conventional methods. Experimental evaluations demonstrate notable improvements, with ANN estimators enhancing accuracy by approximately 2% for Sigmoid and up to 73% for Tanh functions, improving F1-scores by approximately 2% for Sigmoid and up to 88% for Tanh, and markedly reducing Mean Square Error (MSE) by up to 96% compared to polynomial approximations. The ANN estimator achieves an accuracy of 97.70% and an AUC of 0.9997 when integrated into a CNN architecture on the MNIST dataset, and an accuracy of 85.25% with an AUC of 0.9459 on the UCI Heart Disease dataset during ciphertext inference. These results underscore the estimator’s practical effectiveness and computational feasibility, making it suitable for secure and efficient ANN inference in encrypted environments.

    Automating cyber risk assessment with public LLMs: an expert-validated framework and comparative analysis
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2026-03-26) Ünal, Nezih Mahmut; Çeliktaş, Barış
    Traditional cyber risk assessment methodologies face a critical dilemma: they are either quantitative yet static and context-agnostic (e.g., CVSS), or context-aware yet highly labor-intensive and subjective (e.g., NIST SP 800-30). Consequently, organizations struggle to scale risk assessment to match the pace of evolving threats. This paper presents an automated, context-aware risk assessment framework that leverages the reasoning capabilities of publicly available Large Language Models (LLMs) to operationalize expert knowledge. Rather than positioning the LLM as the final decision-maker, the framework decouples semantic interpretation from risk scoring authority through a transparent, deterministic Dynamic Metric Engine. Unlike complex closed box machine learning models, our approach anchors the AI's reasoning to this expert-validated metric schema, with weights derived using the Rank Order Centroid (ROC) method from a survey of 101 cybersecurity professionals. We evaluated the framework through a comparative study involving 15 diverse real-world vulnerability scenarios (C1-C15) and three supplementary sensitivity stress tests (C16-C18). The validation scenarios were independently assessed by a cohort of ten senior human experts and two state-of-the-art LLM agents (GPT-4o and Gemini 2.0 Flash). The results show that the LLM-driven agents achieve scoring consistency closely aligned with the human median (Pearson r ranging from 0.9390 to 0.9717, Spearman ρ from 0.8472 to 0.9276) against a highly reliable expert baseline (Cronbach's α =0.996), while reducing the assessment cycle time by more than 100× (averaging under 4 seconds per case vs. a human average of 6 minutes). Furthermore, a dedicated context sensitivity analysis (C13-C15) indicates that the framework adapts risk scores based on organizational context (e.g., SME vs. Critical Infrastructure) for identical technical vulnerabilities. Importantly, the system is designed not merely to replicate expert intuition, but to enforce bounded, policy-consistent risk evaluation under predefined governance constraints. Overall, these findings suggest that commercially available LLMs, when constrained by expert-validated metric schemas, can support reproducible, transparent, and real-time risk assessments.
