Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Artist Recommendation Based on Association Rule Mining and Community Detection(SCITEPRESS, 2021) Çiftçi, Okan; Tenekeci, Samet; Ülgentürk, CerenRecent advances in the web have greatly increased the accessibility of music streaming platforms and the amount of consumable audio content. This has made automated recommendation systems a necessity for listeners and streaming platforms alike. Therefore, a wide variety of predictive models have been designed to identify related artists and music collections. In this paper, we proposed a graph-based approach that utilizes association rules extracted from Spotify playlists. We constructed several artist networks and identified related artist clusters using Louvain and Label Propagation community detection algorithms. We analyzed internal and external cluster agreements based on different validation criteria. As a result, we achieved up to 99.38% internal and 90.53% external agreements between our models and Spotify's related artist lists. These results show that integrating association rule mining concepts with graph databases can be a novel and effective way to design an artist recommendation system.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Integrative Biological Network Analysis To Identify Shared Genes in Metabolic Disorders(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2022) Tenekeci, Samet; Işık, ZerrinIdentification of common molecular mechanisms in interrelated diseases is essential for better prognoses and targeted therapies. However, complexity of metabolic pathways makes it difficult to discover common disease genes underlying metabolic disorders; and it requires more sophisticated bioinformatics models that combine different types of biological data and computational methods. Accordingly, we built an integrative network analysis model to identify shared disease genes in metabolic syndrome (MS), type 2 diabetes (T2D), and coronary artery disease (CAD). We constructed weighted gene co-expression networks by combining gene expression, protein-protein interaction, and gene ontology data from multiple sources. For 90 different configurations of disease networks, we detected the significant modules by using MCL, SPICi, and Linkcomm graph clustering algorithms. We also performed a comparative evaluation on disease modules to determine the best method providing the highest biological validity. By overlapping the disease modules, we identified 22 shared genes for MS-CAD and T2D-CAD. Moreover, 19 out of these genes were directly or indirectly associated with relevant diseases in the previous medical studies. This study does not only demonstrate the performance of different biological data sources and computational methods in disease-gene discovery, but also offers potential insights into common genetic mechanisms of the metabolic disorders.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 12Event Oriented Vs Object Oriented Analysis for Microservice Architecture: an Exploratory Case Study(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2021) Ünlü, Hüseyin; Tenekeci, Samet; Yıldız, Ali; Demirörs, OnurThe rapidly developing internet infrastructure together with the advances in software technology has enabled the development of cloud-based modern web applications that are much more responsive, flexible, and reliable compared to traditional monolithic applications. Such modern applications require new software design paradigms and architectures. Microservice-based architecture (MSbA), which aims to create small, isolated, loosely-coupled applications that work in cohesion, becoming widespread as one of these approaches. MSbA allows the developed applications to be deployed and maintained separately, as well as scaled on demand. However, there is no de facto method for the analysis and design of systems for these architectures. In this paper, we compared the usefulness of the object-oriented (OO) and event-oriented (EO) approaches for analyzing and designing MS-based systems. More specifically, we performed an exploratory case study to analyze, design, and implement a software application dealing with the 'application and evaluation process of graduate students at IzTech'. This paper discusses the results of this case study. We observe that the EO approaches have significant advantages with respect to the OO approaches.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Author Reputation Measurement on Question and Answer Sites by the Classification of Author-Generated Content(World Scientific Publishing, 2021) Sezerer, Erhan; Tenekeci, Samet; Acar, Ali; Baloğlu, Bora; Tekir, SelmaIn the field of software engineering, practitioners' share in the constructed knowledge cannot be underestimated and is mostly in the form of grey literature (GL). GL is a valuable resource though it is subjective and lacks an objective quality assurance methodology. In this paper, a quality assessment scheme is proposed for question and answer (Q&A) sites. In particular, we target stack overflow (SO) and stack exchange (SE) sites. We model the problem of author reputation measurement as a classification task on the author-provided answers. The authors' mean, median, and total answer scores are used as inputs for class labeling. State-of-the-art language models (BERT and DistilBERT) with a softmax layer on top are utilized as classifiers and compared to SVM and random baselines. Our best model achieves 63.8% accuracy in binary classification in SO design patterns tag and 71.6% accuracy in SE software engineering category. Superior performance in SE software engineering can be explained by its larger dataset size. In addition to quantitative evaluation, we provide qualitative evidence, which supports that the system's predicted reputation labels match the quality of provided answers.
