Article Regression Via Classification for Fingerprint Orientation Estimation(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2024) Erdogmus, NesliEstimating the direction in which the ridges and valleys of the fingerprint pattern are aligned often serves as a pivotal first step in fingerprint recognition systems. The ridge orientation map is a fundamental reference for subsequent processing stages, such as image enhancement, feature extraction, and matching. Therefore, its accuracy is essential to achieve high recognition rates. Ridge orientation estimation entails a regression problem since the task is to estimate an angle between 0 degrees and 180 degrees for each sub-region in the fingerprint image. However, the majority of the approaches in the literature pivot towards framing this regression task as a classification problem. This paper systematically analyzes the regression via classification methodology for fingerprint orientation estimation, exploring various discretization and encoding strategies. Specifically, we examine single and multiple discretization schemes designed to ensure that resulting bins maintain uniform length or uniform probability or are allocated randomly, paired with one-hot, ordinal, and cyclic encoding techniques. Our experiments are conducted on the FOE-TEST database from FVC-onGoing, the sole publicly available fingerprint orientation dataset. The findings highlight the efficacy of cyclic encoding over the one-hot encoding prevalent in prior research, while equal-length and equal-probability discretization strategies yield comparable results.Article Link Prediction for Completing Graphical Software Models Using Neural Networks(IEEE, 2023) Leblebici, Onur; Tuğlular, Tuğkan; Belli, FevziDeficiencies 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. AuthorArticle Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 29Modeling of an Activated Sludge Process for Effluent Prediction—a Comparative Study Using Anfis and Glm Regression(Springer Verlag, 2018) Araromi, Dauda Olurotimi; Majekodunmi, Olukayode Titus; Adeniran, Jamiu Adetayo; Salawudeen, Taofeeq OlalekanIn this paper, nonlinear system identification of the activated sludge process in an industrial wastewater treatment plant was completed using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and generalized linear model (GLM) regression. Predictive models of the effluent chemical and 5-day biochemical oxygen demands were developed from measured past inputs and outputs. From a set of candidates, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), and a fuzzy brute-force search were utilized in selecting the best combination of regressors for the GLMs and ANFIS models respectively. Root mean square error (RMSE) and Pearson’s correlation coefficient (R-value) served as metrics in assessing the predicting performance of the models. Contrasted with the GLM predictions, the obtained modeling results show that the ANFIS models provide better predictions of the studied effluent variables. The results of the empirical search for the dominant regressors indicate the models have an enormous potential in the estimation of the time lag before a desired effluent quality can be realized, and preempting process disturbances. Hence, the models can be used in developing a software tool that will facilitate the effective management of the treatment operation.
