    Turkmednli: a Turkish Medical Natural Language Inference Dataset Through Large Language Model Based Translation
    (Peerj inc, 2025) Ogul, Iskender Ulgen; Soygazi, Fatih; Bostanoglu, Belgin Ergenc
    Natural language inference (NLI) is a subfield of natural language processing (NLP) that aims to identify the contextual relationship between premise and hypothesis sentences. While high-resource languages like English benefit from robust and rich NLI datasets, creating similar datasets for low-resource languages is challenging due to the cost and complexity of manual annotation. Although translation of existing datasets offers a practical solution, direct translation of domain-specific datasets presents unique challenges, particularly in handling abbreviations, metric conversions, and cultural alignment. This study introduces a pipeline for translating a medical NLI dataset into Turkish, which is a low-resource language. Our approach employs fine-tuning the Llama-3.1 model with selected samples from the Medical Abbreviation dataset (MeDAL) to extract and resolve medical abbreviations. Consequently, NLI pairs are refined with extracted abbreviations and subjected to metric correction. Later, the processed sentences are then translated using Facebook's No Language Left Behind (NLLB) translation model. To ensure quality, we conducted comprehensive evaluations using both machine learning models and medical expert review. Our results show that BERTurk achieved 75.17% accuracy on TurkMedNLI test data and 76.30% on the normalized test set, while BioBERTurk demonstrated comparable performance with 75.59% accuracy on test data and 72.29% on the normalized dataset. Medical experts further validated the translations through manual assessment of sampled sentences. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of large language models in adapting domain-specific datasets for low-resource languages, establishing a foundation for future research in multilingual biomedical NLP.

    Dynamic Frequent Subgraph Mining Algorithms Over Evolving Graphs: a Survey
    (Peerj inc, 2024) Bostanoglu, Belgin Ergenc; Abuzayed, Nourhan
    Frequent subgraph mining (FSM) is an essential and challenging graph mining task used in several applications of the modern data science. Some of the FSM algorithms have the objective of finding all frequent subgraphs whereas some of the algorithms focus on discovering frequent subgraphs approximately. On the other hand, modern applications employ evolving graphs where the increments are small graphs or stream of nodes and edges. In such cases, FSM task becomes more challenging due to growing data size and complexity of the base algorithms. Recently we see frequent subgraph mining algorithms designed for dynamic graph data. However, there is no comparative review of the dynamic subgraph mining algorithms focusing on the discovery of frequent subgraphs over evolving graph data. This article focuses on the characteristics of dynamic frequent subgraph mining algorithms over evolving graphs. We first introduce and compare dynamic frequent subgraph mining algorithms; trying to highlight their attributes as increment type, graph type, graph representation, internal data structure, algorithmic approach, programming approach, base algorithm and output type. Secondly, we introduce and compare the approximate frequent subgraph mining algorithms for dynamic graphs with additional attributes as their sampling strategy, data in the sample, statistical guarantees on the sample and their main objective. Finally, we highlight research opportunities in this specific domain from our perspective. Overall, we aim to introduce the research area of frequent subgraph mining over evolving graphs with the hope that this can serve as a reference and inspiration for the researchers of the field.

    Bdac: Boundary-Driven Approximations of K-Cliques
    (Mdpi, 2024) Calmaz, Busra; Bostanoglu, Belgin Ergenc
    Clique counts are crucial in applications like detecting communities in social networks and recurring patterns in bioinformatics. Counting k-cliques-a fully connected subgraph with k nodes, where each node has a direct, mutual, and symmetric relationship with every other node-becomes computationally challenging for larger k due to combinatorial explosion, especially in large, dense graphs. Existing exact methods have difficulties beyond k = 10, especially on large datasets, while sampling-based approaches often involve trade-offs in terms of accuracy, resource utilization, and efficiency. This difficulty becomes more pronounced in dense graphs as the number of potential k-cliques grows exponentially. We present Boundary-driven approximations of k-cliques (BDAC), a novel algorithm that approximates k-clique counts without using recursive procedures or sampling methods. BDAC offers both lower and upper bounds for k-cliques at local (per-vertex) and global levels, making it ideal for large, dense graphs. Unlike other approaches, BDAC's complexity remains unaffected by the value of k. We demonstrate its effectiveness by comparing it with leading algorithms across various datasets, focusing on k values ranging from 8 to 50.
