    Time-Resolved Eeg Signal Analysis for Motor Imagery Activity Recognition
    (Elsevier, 2023) Olcay, Bilal Orkan; Karaçalı, Bilge
    Accurately characterizing brain activity requires detailed feature analysis in the temporal, spatial, and spectral domains. While previous research has proposed various spatial and spectral feature extraction methods to distinguish between different cognitive tasks, temporal feature analysis for each separate brain region and frequency band has been largely overlooked. This study introduces two novel approaches for recognizing cognitive activity: temporal entropic profiling and time-aligned common spatio-spectral patterns analysis. These approaches capture and use discriminative short-lived signal segments for motor imagery activity recognition. In Approach-1, we evaluated nine different measures to determine timing parameters that showed altered behavior associated with maximal inter-activity differences, which we then used in a machine-learning framework. In Approach-2, we used the best-performing signal characteristic measures from Approach-1 to determine the optimum latency of each channel at each frequency band for a CSP-based activity recognition strategy. We evaluated both approaches on two online available motor imagery EEG datasets and achieved average recognition accuracy levels of 86%. We compared our methods with four established BCI methods. The performance results show that our approaches exceeded the benchmark methods' performances, with notable improvements in the proposed time-aligned common spatio-spectral patterns approach. This study demonstrates that motor imagery recognition performance is improved when a temporal analysis is adopted alongside spatio-spectral neural feature analysis and that timing parameters associated with the maximal entropic difference of EEG segments to the cognitive tasks varied between different brain regions and subjects. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd

    Automated Labeling of Cancer Textures in Larynx Histopathology Slides Using Quasi-Supervised Learning
    (Science Printers and Publishers Inc., 2014) Önder, Devrim; Sarıoğlu, Sülen; Karaçalı, Bilge
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the performance of a quasisupervised statistical learning algorithm, operating on datasets having normal and neoplastic tissues, to identify larynx squamous cell carcinomas. Furthermore, cancer texture separability measures against normal tissues are to be developed and compared either for colorectal or larynx tissues. STUDY DESIGN: Light microscopic digital images from histopathological sections were obtained from laryngectomy materials including squamous cell carcinoma and nonneoplastic regions. The texture features were calculated by using co-occurrence matrices and local histograms. The texture features were input to the quasisupervised learning algorithm. RESULTS: Larynx regions containing squamous cell carcinomas were accurately identified, having false and true positive rates up to 21% and 87%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Larynx squamous cell carcinoma versus normal tissue texture separability measures were higher than colorectal adenocarcinoma versus normal textures for the colorectal database. Furthermore, the resultant labeling performances for all larynx datasets are higher than or equal to that of colorectal datasets. The results in larynx datasets, in comparison with the former colorectal study, suggested that quasi-supervised texture classification is to be a helpful method in histopathological image classification and analysis.

    Identification and Visualization of Cell Subgroups in Uncompensated Flow Cytometry Data
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2020) Güzel, Başak Esin Köktürk; Karaçalı, Bilge
    We propose a new method for identification and visualization of cell-sub groups in uncompensated multi-color flow cytometry data. The method combines annealing-based model-free expectation-maximization to identify cell sub-groups and joint diagonalization on clustered data for better visualization. The proposed method was evaluated on a real, publicly available 8-color flow cytometry dataset manually gated beforehand for lymphocytes. The results obtained in three separable scenarios indicate that the method accurately identifies cell subgroups while properly adjusting visualization of identified cell groups by reducing the spectral overlap between the different fluorochrome channels.

    Improved Quasi-Supervised Learning by Expectation-Maximization
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2013) Karaçalı, Bilge
    In this paper, a new statistical learning method was developed that implements the quasi-supervised learning method in an expectation-maximization loop. First, automatic strategies were generated that separated the samples drawn from different distributions into respective sample sets using the posterior probabilities computed via quasi-supervised learning based on partially separated samples. An expectation-maximization loop was then constructed by combining this procedure with the posterior probability computation step using the new separated sample sets. In controlled experiments on recognition problems with varying difficulties, the proposed method was observed to consistently outperform the plain quasi-supervised learning method.

    Quasi-Supervised Learning on Dna Regions in Colon Cancer Histology Slides
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2013) Köktürk, Başak Esin; Karaçalı, Bilge
    The aim of this study, nuclei base automatic detection of cancerous regions via determination of DNA-rich regions in high definition histology images. In the study; DNA-rich regions were determined using k-means clustering and some mathematical morphology operations, the diseased regions were diagnosed using morphological characteristics via quasi-supervised learning. It's observed that quasi-supervised learning method successfully separates cancerous chromatin regions from others successfully with experiments of colon cross-section histology images.
