    Applying Weighted Graph Embeddings To Turkish Metaphor Detection
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) İnan, Emrah
    Metaphor is a common literary mechanism that allows abstract concepts to be conceptualised using more concrete terminology. Existing methods rely on either end-to-end models or hand-crafted pre-processing steps. Generating well-defined training datasets for supervised models is a time-consuming operation for this type of problem. There is also a lack of pre-processing steps for resource-poor natural languages. In this study, we propose an approach for detecting Turkish metaphorical concepts. Initially, we collect non-literal concepts including their meaning and reference sentences by employing a Turkish dictionary. Secondly, we generate a graph by discovering super-sense relations between sample texts including target metaphorical expressions in Turkish WordNet. We also compute weights for relations based on the path closeness and word occurrences. Finally, we classify the texts by leveraging a weighted graph embedding model. The evaluation setup indicates that the proposed approach reaches the best F1 and Gmean scores of 0.83 and 0.68 for the generated test sets when we use feature vector representations of the Node2Vec model as the input of the logistic regression for detecting metaphors in Turkish texts. © 2024 IEEE.

    A News Chain Evaluation Methodology Along With a Lattice-Based Approach for News Chain Construction
    (Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), 2017) Toprak, Mustafa; Özkahraman,Ö.; Tekir, Selma
    Chain construction is an important requirement for understanding news and establishing the context. A news chain can be defined as a coherent set of articles that explains an event or a story. There's a lack of well-established methods in this area. In this work, we propose a methodology to evaluate the "goodness" of a given news chain and implement a concept latticebased news chain construction method by Hossain et al. The methodology part is vital as it directly affects the growth of research in this area. Our proposed methodology consists of collected news chains from different studies and two "goodness" metrics, minedge and dispersion coefficient respectively. We assess the utility of the lattice-based news chain construction method by our proposed methodology. © EMNLP 2017.All right reserved.

    Development of Chrono-Spectral Gold Nanoparticle Growth Based Plasmonic Biosensor Platform
    (Elsevier, 2024) Sözmen, Alper Baran; Elveren, Beste; Erdoğan, Duygu; Mezgil, Bahadır; Baştanlar, Yalın; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Arslan Yıldız, Ahu
    Plasmonic sensor platforms are designed for rapid, label-free, and real-time detection and they excel as the next generation biosensors. However, current methods such as Surface Plasmon Resonance require expertise and well-equipped laboratory facilities. Simpler methods such as Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) overcome those limitations, though they lack sensitivity. Hence, sensitivity enhancement plays a crucial role in the future of plasmonic sensor platforms. Herein, a refractive index (RI) sensitivity enhancement methodology is reported utilizing growth of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) on solid support and it is backed up with artificial neural network (ANN) analysis. Sensor platform fabrication was initiated with GNP immobilization onto solid support; immobilized GNPs were then used as seeds for chrono-spectral growth, which was carried out using NH2OH at varied incubation times. The response to RI change of the platform was investigated with varied concentrations of sucrose and ethanol. The detection of bacteria E.coli BL21 was carried out for validation as a model microorganism and results showed that detection was possible at 102 CFU/ml. The data acquired by spectrophotometric measurements were analyzed by ANN and bacteria classification with percentage error rates near 0% was achieved. The proposed LSPR-based, label-free sensor application proved that the developed methodology promises utile sensitivity enhancement potential for similar sensor platforms. © 2024 The Author(s)

    Size Measurement and Effort Estimation in Microservicebased Projects: Results From Pakistan
    (CEUR-WS, 2023) Soylu, Görkem Kılınç; Ünlü, Hüseyin; Ahmad, Isra Shafique; Demirörs, Onur
    During the last decade, microservice-based software architecture has been a common design paradigm in the industry and has been successfully utilized by organizations. Microservice-based software architecture, specifically in the form of reactive systems, has substantial differences from the more conventional design paradigms, such as the object-oriented paradigm. The architecture moved away from being data-driven and evolved into a behavior-oriented structure. The usage of a single database is replaced by the structures in which each microservice is developed independently and has its own database. Therefore, adaptation demands software organizations to transform their culture. In this study, we aimed to get an insight into how Pakistani software organizations perform size measurement and effort estimation in their software projects which embrace the microservice-based software architecture paradigm. For this purpose, we surveyed 49 Pakistani participants from different agile organizations over different roles and domains to collect information on their experience in microservice-based projects. Our results reveal that although Pakistani organizations face challenges, they continue using familiar subjective size measurement and effort estimation approaches that they have used for traditional architectures. © 2023 Copyright for this paper by its authors.

    Link Prediction for Completing Graphical Software Models Using Neural Networks
    (IEEE, 2023) Leblebici, Onur; Tuğlular, Tuğkan; Belli, Fevzi
    Deficiencies and inconsistencies introduced during the modeling of software systems may result in high costs and negatively impact the quality of all developments performed using these models. Therefore, developing more accurate models will aid software architects in developing software systems that match and exceed expectations. This paper proposes a graph neural network (GNN) method for predicting missing connections, or links, in graphical models, which are widely employed in modeling software systems. The proposed method utilizes graphs as allegedly incomplete, primitive graphical models of the system under consideration (SUC) as input and proposes links between its elements through the following steps: (i) transform the models into graph-structured data and extract features from the nodes, (ii) train the GNN model, and (iii) evaluate the performance of the trained model. Two GNN models based on SEAL and DeepLinker are evaluated using three performance metrics, namely cross-entropy loss, area under curve, and accuracy. Event sequence graphs (ESGs) are used as an example of applying the approach to an event-based behavioral modeling technique. Examining the results of experiments conducted on various datasets and variations of GNN reveals that missing connections between events in an ESG can be predicted even with relatively small datasets generated from ESG models.

    How Software Practitioners Perceive Work-Related Barriers and Benefits Based on Their Educational Backgrounds: Insights From a Survey Study
    (IEEE, 2023) Ünlü, Hüseyin; Yürüm, Ozan Raşit; Özcan Top, Özden; Demirörs, Onur
    Survey results show that software practitioners from nonsoftware-related backgrounds face more barriers, have fewer benefits, and feel less satisfied in their work life. However, these differences reduce with more than 10 years of experience and involvement in software-related graduate programs, certificates, and mentorship.

    Kurt saldırıları için sentetik irislerde örnek seçilimi
    (IEEE, 2023) Akdeniz, Eyüp Kaan; Erdoğmuş, Nesli
    In this study, samples with higher potential to succeed in wolf attacks are picked among synthetically generated iris images, and the composed subset is shown to pose a more significant threat toward an iris recognition system backed by a Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) module with respect to randomly selected samples. Iris images generated by Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks (DCGAN) are firstly filtered by rejection sampling on PAD score distribution of real iris image PAD scores. Next, the probability of zero success in all attack attempts is calculated for each synthetic iris image, using real iris images in the training set, and match and non-match score distributions are calculated on those. Synthetic images with the lowest probabilities of zero success are included in the final set. Our hypothesis that this set would be more successful in wolf attacks is tested by comparing its spoofing performances with randomly selected sample sets.

    Dementia Detection With Deep Networks Using Multi-Modal Image Data
    (CRC Press, 2023) Yiğit, Altuğ; Işık, Zerrin; Baştanlar, Yalın
    Neurodegenerative diseases give rise to irreversible neural damage in the brain. By the time it is diagnosed, the disease may have progressed. Although there is no complete treatment for many types of neurodegenerative diseases, by detecting the disease in its early stages, treatments can be applied to relieve some symptoms or prevent disease progression. Many invasive and non-invasive methods are employed for the diagnosis of dementia. Computer-assisted diagnostic systems make the diagnosis based on volumetric features (structural or functional) or some two-dimensional brain perspectives obtained from a single image modality. This chapter firstly introduces a broad review of multi-modal imaging approaches proposed for dementia diagnosis. Then it presents deep neural networks, which extract structural and functional features from multi-modal imaging data, are employed to diagnose Alzheimer’s and mild cognitive impairments. While MRI scans are safer than most types of scans and provide structural information about the human body, PET scans provide information about functional activities in the brain. Thus, the setup has been designed to make experiments using both MRI and FDG-PET scans. Performances of multi-modal models were compared with single-modal solutions. The multi-modal solution showed superiority over single-modals due to the advantage of focusing on assorted features. © 2023 selection and editorial matter, Jyotismita Chaki; individual chapters, the contributors.

    A Lightweight and Energy Efficient Secrecy Outage Probability-Based Friendly Jamming
    (IEEE, 2023) Yaman, Okan; Ayav, Tolga; Erten, Yusuf Murat
    Third parties and legitimate entities can reach and process users' private data through most wireless networks. However, attackers such as intruders and eavesdroppers may also try to exploit this property in communication. Hence, wireless networks are intrinsically more vulnerable to threats, unlike their wired alternatives. Cryptographic techniques are the conventional approaches to deal with that weakness. Nevertheless, they still need to meet the requirements of contemporary technologies, including IoT nodes with energy and processing power constraints. In that respect, friendly jamming (FJ) is one of the encouraging countermeasures to overcome the mentioned susceptibility since it has an energy-efficient and computation-friendly nature. However, that promising approach brings another challenge, applicability. Although various models exist against this issue, a lightweight scheme compliant with novel technologies is needed. Hence, we propose a more straightforward FJ model evaluated on cellular network-based simulations in this study. Moreover, introducing a lightweight secrecy outage probability definition increases robustness and energy efficiency. © 2023 IEEE.

    Application of the Law of Minimum and Dissimilarity Analysis To Regression Test Case Prioritization
    (IEEE, 2023) Ufuktepe, Ekincan; Tuğlular, Tuğkan
    Regression testing is one of the most expensive processes in testing. Prioritizing test cases in regression testing is critical for the goal of detecting the faults sooner within a large set of test cases. We propose a test case prioritization (TCP) technique for regression testing called LoM-Score inspired by the Law of Minimum (LoM) from biology. This technique calculates the impact probabilities of methods calculated by change impact analysis with forward slicing and orders test cases according to LoM. However, this ordering doesn't consider the possibility that consecutive test cases may be covering the same methods repeatedly. Thereby, such ordering can delay the time of revealing faults that exist in other methods. To solve this problem, we enhance the LoM-Score TCP technique with an adaptive approach, namely with a dissimilarity-based coordinate analysis approach. The dissimilarity-based coordinate analysis uses Jaccard Similarity for calculating the similarity coefficients between test cases in terms of covered methods and the enhanced technique called Dissimilarity-LoM-Score (Dis-LoM-Score) applies a penalty with respective on the ordered test cases. We performed our case study on 10 open-source Java projects from Defects4J, which is a dataset of real bugs and an infrastructure for controlled experiments provided for software engineering researchers. Then, we hand-seeded multiple mutants generated by Major, which is a mutation testing tool. Then we compared our TCP techniques LoM-Score and Dis-LoM-Score with the four traditional TCP techniques based on their Average Percentage of Faults Detected (APFD) results.
