    Deep Learning Based Real-Time Sequential Facial Expression Analysisusing Geometric Features
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2023) Köksal, Talha Enes; Gümüş, Abdurrahman
    In this thesis, macro and micro facial expression sequences from various datasets are trained using neural networks to classify them in one of the basic emotions. In macro expression experiments, for each frame of the sequences facial landmarks are extracted using MediaPipe FaceMesh solution and geometric features using both spatial and temporal information based on these landmarks are created. To classify the features, ConvLSTM2D followed by multilayer perceptron blocks are used. In order to achieve real time classification performance, all algorithms are implemented compatible to run on GPU. The proposed method for macro expressions is tested with CK+, Oulu-CASIA VIS, Oulu-CASIA NIR and MMI datasets. In micro expression experiments, apart from geometric features also blendshape features provided by MediaPipe are used. In order to improve classification performance, Phase-Based Video Motion Processing technique is used to magnify subtle facial movements of micro expressions. Experiments are conducted separately on same classification layers that consist of ConvLSTM1D followed by multilayer perceptron blocks. The proposed method for micro expressions is tested with SAMM and CASME II datasets. The datasets utilized in this study were accessed upon signing corresponding license agreements. Each dataset is specifically designated for academic purposes and is made available under these agreements. Only data from subjects who provided consent for their information to be used in publications was included in the thesis. The license agreements for each dataset can be found in the appendices section.

    Recognition of Counterfactual Statements in Turkish
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2023) Acar, Ali; Tekir, Selma
    Counterfactual statements describe an event that did not happen or cannot happen, and optionally the consequence of this event if it would happen. Counterfactual statements are the building blocks of human thought processes as people constantly reflect upon past happenings and consider their future implications. Counterfactual reasoning is essential for machine intelligence and explainable artificial intelligence studies. Detecting counterfactuals automatically with machine learning algorithms is very crucial for these areas. This thesis presents the development of the first-ever Turkish counterfactual detection dataset. It presents a comprehensive classification baseline and expands the scope of counterfactual detection to include the Turkish language.

    Hierarchical Image Classification With Self-Supervised Vision Transformer Features
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) Karagüler, Caner; Özuysal, Mustafa
    There are lots of works about image classification and most of them are based on convolutional neural networks (CNN). In image classification, some classes are more difficult to distinguish than others because of non-even visual separability. These difficult classes require domain-specific classifiers but traditional convolutional neural networks are trained as flat N-way classifiers. These flat classifiers can not leverage the hierarchical information of the classes well. To solve this issue, researchers proposed new techniques that embeds class-hierarchy into the convolutional neural networks and most of these techniques exceed existing convolutional neural networks' success rates on large-scale datasets like ImageNet. In this work, we questioned if a hierarchical image classification with self- supervised vision transformer features can exceed hierarchical convolutional neural networks. During this work, we used a hierarchical ETHEC dataset and extract attention features with the help of vision transformers. Using these attention features, we implemented 3 different hierarchical classification approaches and compared the results with CNN alternative of our approaches.
