Unlike other studies, this paper isn't for early infection diagnosis, but for preventing the transmission of COVID-19 in social environments. Among the studies on this is regarding social distancing, as this method is proven to prevent COVID-19 to be transmitted from one to another. In the study, Robot Operating System (ROS) simulates a shopping mall using Gazebo, and customers are monitored by Turtlebot and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV, DJI Tello). Through frames analysis captured by Turtlebot, a particular person is identified and followed at the shopping mall. Turtlebot is a wheeled robot that follows people without contact and is used as a shopping cart. Therefore, a customer doesn't touch the shopping cart that someone else comes into contact with, and also makes his/her shopping easier. The UAV detects people from above and determines the distance between people. In this way, a warning system can be created by detecting places where social distance is neglected. Histogram of Oriented-Gradients (HOG)-Support Vector Machine (SVM) is applied by Turtlebot to detect humans, and Kalman-Filter is used for human tracking. SegNet is performed for semantically detecting people and measuring distance via UAV. This paper proposes a new robotic study to prevent the infection and proved that this system is feasible.Article Evaluation of Most Visited Web Sites in Turkey in Aspects of Structure and Security(2018) Daşdemir, Atakan; Örnek, Mustafa Nevzat; Örnek, Humar KahramanlıApplications on World Wide Web have made our daily lives easier with their basic and fast access, neglecting time and place, they have become indispensable.

However, not all fitness evaluations lead to successful fitness updates. Besides, the maximum number of fitness evaluations is limited and also balance of exploration and exploitation is still challenging. Best possible solution should be found in a reasonable time. Surely it can be said more fitness evaluation takes more time. Since methods are tested under fixed numbers of maximum fitness evaluation and the duration of each fitness evaluation of a problem may vary depending on the characteristic of the problem, finding best result with fewer fitness evaluations is challenging in optimization algorithms. For that reason in this study, we proposed a new method that predicts the quality of a candidate solution before evaluation of its fitness employing Gaussian-based Naive Bayes probabilistic model. If the candidate solution is predicted to generate good result then that solution is evaluated by the objective function. Otherwise new candidate solution is created as usual. The primary purpose of the proposed method is improving the performance of AAA and at the same time preventing unnecessary fitness evaluation. The proposed method is evaluated using standard benchmark functions and CEC'05 test suite. The obtained results suggests that the new method outperformed the basic AAA and other state-of-the-art meta-heuristic algorithms with fewer fitness evaluations. Thus, the new method can be extended to cost sensitive industrial problems. (c) 2020 Elsevier Ltd.

Automatic hate speech and abusive detection systems can facilitate the prohibition of toxic textual contents. The complexity, informality and ambiguity of the Arabic dialects hindered the provision of the needed resources for Arabic abusive/hate speech detection research. In this paper, we introduce the first publicly-available Levantine Hate Speech and Abusive (L-HSAB) Twitter dataset with the objective to be a benchmark dataset for automatic detection of online Levantine toxic contents. We, further, provide a detailed review of the data collection steps and how we design the annotation guidelines such that a reliable dataset annotation is guaranteed. This has been later emphasized through the comprehensive evaluation of the annotations as the annotation agreement metrics of Cohen's Kappa (k) and Krippendorff's alpha (alpha) indicated the consistency of the annotations.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 10Machine Learning-Based Detection of Sleep-Disordered Breathing Type Using Time and Time-Frequency Features(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2022) Balcı, Mehmet; Taşdemir, Şakir; Özmen, Güzin; Gölcük, AdemSleep-disordered breathing is a disease that many people experience unconsciously and can have very serious consequences that can result in death. Therefore, it is extremely important to analyze the data obtained from the patient during sleep. It has become inevitable to use computer technologies in the diagnosis or treatment of many diseases in the medical field. Especially, advanced software using artificial intelligence methods in the diagnosis and decision-making processes of physicians is becoming increasingly widespread. In this study, we aimed to classify the sleep-disordered breathing type by using machine learning techniques utilizing time and time- fre-quency domain features. We used Pressure Flow, ECG, Pressure Snore, SpO2, Pulse and Thorax data from among the polysomnography records of 19 patients. We employed digital signal processing methods for six types of physiological data and obtained a total of 35 features using different feature extraction methods for five different classes (Normal, Hypopnea, Obstructive Apnea, Mixed Apnea, Central Apnea). Finally, we applied machine learning algorithms (Artificial Neural Network, Support Vector Machine, Random Forest, Naive Bayes, K Nearest Neighborhood, Decision Tree and Logistic Regression) on 5-class and 35-feature data sets. We used10 fold cross validation to verify the classification success. Our main contribution to the literature is that we developed a classification system to score all four different types of sleep-disordered breathing simultaneously by using 6 types of PSG data. As a five-class scoring result, the Random Forest (RF) algorithm showed the highest success with 76.3 % classification accuracy. When Hypopnea was excluded from the evaluation, classification accuracy increased to 86.6% for three Apnea-type disorders. Our proposed method provided 89.7% accuracy for the diagnosis of Obstructive Apnea by the RF classifier. The results show that time and time-frequency domain features are distinctive in Sleep-disordered breathing scoring, which is a very difficult process for physicians and a diagnostic support system can be design by evaluating many PSG data simultaneously.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 7Multi-View Cnn With Mlp for Diagnosing Tuberculosis Patients Using Ct Scans and Clinically Relevant Metadata(CEUR-WS, 2019) Mossa, A.A.; Yibre, A.M.; Çevik, U.We propose a hybrid approach of multi-view convolutional neural networks with Multi-Layer Perceptron to generate an automatic medical CT report and evaluation of the severity stage of Tuberculosis patients, trained and evaluated on 335 chest 3D CT images and available metadata provided by Im-ageCLEF2019 organizers for the participants of tuberculosis computation track. Transfer learning and data augmentation techniques were applied to avoid over fitting and enhance performance of the model. Our multi-view CNN approach comprises the decomposition of the 3D CT image into 2D axial, coronal and sagittal slices and converting them to PNG format as preliminary to training. At the first stage, coronal and sagittal slices were used to train the CNN classifier using pre-trained AlexNet. In the second stage, MLPs were trained using features extracted during stage one alongside with the provided metadata. Our results ranked 6th and 4th ,with an AUC of 0.763 in predicting whether the severity stage is High or Low, and mean AUC of 0.707 in detecting whether left and right lungs are affected or not, detecting the absence or presence of calcifications, caverns, pleurisy and lung capacity decrease, respectively. © 2019 for this paper by its authors.

In order to meet this demand, renewable and alternative energy sources that do not harm the environment are often recommended. One of these alternative sources can be obtained from human wastewater and is known as the Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC). This study aimed to estimate the electricity production performance of MFC, using Nafion 117 membrane with 10 x 10 and 11 x 11 cm(2) area by both active and sediment sludges. The responses obtained from 16 physical experiments performed according to the L-16(2(4) x 2(2)) Taguchi orthogonal index were analyzed by the response surface method (RSM). According to the analysis, it was determined that the quadratic polynomial equations created for the estimation of the reaction values of the active and sediment sludge had validity over 90%. The ANOVA analysis applied to determine parameter ethicalities also showed that the most effective parameter on the reactions from the sludge types considered was the resistance at different rates. Thus, the results suggest that the orthogonal design-based RSM model is an effective tool that provides key information for optimizing energy harvesting from MFC technology and saves time concerning experimental work.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 8Performance Comparison of Extreme Learning Machines and Other Machine Learning Methods on Wbcd Data Set(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021) Keskin, O.S.; Durdu, A.; Aslan, M.F.; Yusefi, A.Breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer among women in our country and the world. Artificial intelligence studies are growing in order to reduce the mortality and early diagnosis needed for appropriate treatment. The Excessive Learning Machines (ELM) method, one of the machine learning approaches, is applied to the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Diagnostic (WBCD) dataset in this study, and the findings are compared to those of other machine learning methods. For this purpose, the same dataset is also classified using Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), Sequential Minimum Optimization (SMO), Decision Tree Learning (J48), Naive Bayes (NB), and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) methods. According to the results of the study, the ELM approach is more successful than other approaches on the WBCD dataset. It's also worth noting that as the number of neurons in the ELM grows, so does the learning ability of the network. However, after a certain number of neurons have passed, test performance begins to decline sharply. Finally, the ELM's performance is compared to the results of other studies in the literature. © 2021 IEEE.Article Retinal Hastalıkların Teşhisi için Optik Koherans Tomografi Görüntülerinin Derin Öğrenme Metotları ile Sınıflandırılması(2023) Urmamen Hafiza Esra; Koçer SabriRetina, görmeyi sağlayan ışığa ve renklere duyarlı ağ tabakasıdır.

Clinical diagnosis of sperm quality is one important aspect of identifying the potential of semen for the occurrence of pregnancy. Due to the advances in machine learning algorithms, especially the reliable and high classification accuracy of neural network in health related problems, it is becoming possible to predict seminal quality from lifestyle data. In this respect, a few attempts were made in predicting seminal quality. These studies were conducted using imbalanced data sets, where the performance outcomes tend to be biased towards the majority class. Other studies implemented the gradient descent technique for training the neural network. The gradient descent is a local training technique that is prone to get stuck to local minima. On the contrary, meta-heuristic algorithms enable searching solutions both locally and globally. Therefore, in this study, Artificial Algae Algorithm that is improved using a Learning-Based fitness evaluation method is proposed for training Feed Forward Neural Network (FFNN). In addition, the SMOTE data balancing method was employed to balance normal and abnormal instances. Experimental analyses were carried out to evaluate the predictive accuracy of the FFNN trained using Learning-Based Artificial Algae Algorithm (FFNN-LBAAA). The results were compared with well-known machine learning algorithms, namely: Multi-layer Perceptron Neural Network (MLP), Naive Bayes (NB), Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Random Forest (RF) algorithms. The proposed approach showed superior performance in discriminating normal and abnormal semen quality instances over the other compared algorithms. (C) 2020 Karabuk University.

This has been associated with an unrestricted spread of toxic contents such as Abusive and Hate speech. Considering the psychological harm, let alone the potential hate crimes that might be caused by these toxic contents, automatic Abusive and Hate speech detection systems become a mandatory. This evokes the need for Tunisian benchmark datasets required to evaluate Abusive and Hate speech detection models. Being an underrepresented dialect, no previous Abusive or Hate speech datasets were provided for the Tunisian dialect. In this paper, we introduce the first publicly-available Tunisian Hate and Abusive speech (T-HSAB) dataset with the objective to be a benchmark dataset for automatic detection of online Tunisian toxic contents. We provide a detailed review of the data collection steps and how we design the annotation guidelines such that a reliable dataset annotation is guaranteed. This was later emphasized through the comprehensive evaluation of the annotations as the annotation agreement metrics of Cohen's Kappa (k) and Krippendorff's alpha (alpha) indicated the consistency of the annotations.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 11A Tutorial: Mobile Robotics, Slam, Bayesian Filter, Keyframe Bundle Adjustment and Ros Applications(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021) Aslan, Muhammet Fatih; Durdu, Akif; Yusefi, A.; Sabancı, Kadir; Sungur, C.Autonomous mobile robots, an important research topic today, are often developed for smart industrial environments where they interact with humans. For autonomous movement of a mobile robot in an unknown environment, mobile robots must solve three main problems; localization, mapping and path planning. Robust path planning depends on successful localization and mapping. Both problems can be overcome with Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) techniques. Since sequential sensor information is required for SLAM, eliminating these sensor noises is crucial for the next measurement and prediction. Recursive Bayesian filter is a statistical method used for sequential state prediction. Therefore, it is an essential method for the autonomous mobile robots and SLAM techniques. This study deals with the relationship between SLAM and Bayes methods for autonomous robots. Additionally, keyframe Bundle Adjustment (BA) based SLAM, which includes state-of-art methods, is also investigated. SLAM is an active research area and new algorithms are constantly being developed to increase accuracy rates, so new researchers need to understand this issue with ease. This study is a detailed and easily understandable resource for new SLAM researchers. ROS (Robot Operating System)-based SLAM applications are also given for better understanding. In this way, the reader obtains the theoretical basis and application experience to develop alternative methods related to SLAM. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 5Weight Optimization of Hybrid Composite Laminate Using Learning-Oriented Artificial Algae Algorithm(SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG, 2020) Yibre, Abdulkerim Mohammed; Koçer, Barış; Esleman, Esmael Adem; Önal, GürolThe optimal design of parameters is vital for the effective use of hybrid composite laminated structures. This is due to a highly dependent property of laminated composite structures strength on its fiber orientation, stacking sequence and the number of ply in each laminate. The main aim of this study is to apply Learning-Oriented Artificial Algae Algorithm for optimization of the weight of rectangular hybrid composite laminated plate subjected to compressive in-plane loading. The design parameters are number of plies and stacking sequence of the laminate. The critical buckling factor is the constraint of the optimization process. The parameters of the hybrid composite plate are optimized using Learning-Oriented Artificial Algae Algorithm with the aim of minimizing weight.The performance of the algorithm was compared with previous studies that employed the GA and ACO algorithms. The Learning-Oriented method is integrated to reduce the number of functions evaluated and in turn reducing computational cost. The results showed that Learning-Oriented Artificial Algae Algorithm outperformed GA and ACO, and hence can be successfully applied in the optimization of laminated composite structures.
