(IEEE, 2024) Tokatlı, Nazlı; Bilmez, Yakuphan; Göztepeli, Gürkan; Güler, Muhammed; Karan, Furkan; Altun, Halis
This preliminary work introduces MelanoTech, a mHealth application designed and implemented to offer a user-friendly and intuitive interface for the early diagnosis of melanoma, a kind of skin cancer with significant fatality rates [1]. The application demonstrates promising performance in segmentation and classification tasks by utilizing deep learning models with Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for data augmentation. MelanoTech achieves a comprehensive accuracy rate of 92%, with a segmentation model accuracy rate of 93% and a lesion detection accuracy rate of 90%. Finally, incorporating data augmentation approaches based on GANs resulted in a 5% enhancement in the model’s performance. These findings highlight the capacity of MelanoTech as a dependable tool for improving the early diagnosis of melanoma and decreasing the workload of physicians in Turkish public hospitals.

A study on harmonic functions
(Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 2024) Uçar, Mehmet Fatih; Özkan Uçar, Hatice Esra
The class of functions that have bounded boundary rotation and bounded radius rotation are the generalization of the convex and the starlike functions, respectively. The concept of such functions was introduced by L¨owner [1]. But he did not use the present terminology. It was Paatero [2,3] who systematically developed their properties and made an exhaustive study of the class of functions that have bounded boundary rotation. We will examine in this paper, the subclass of SH that is related to the class of functions that have bounded radius rotation.

(Bentham Science Publishers, 2024) Kırtay, Seda; Yıldız, Kazım; Böcekçi, Veysel Gökhan
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) is an innovation that has great potential in wireless communication. It permits multiple users to efficiently allot a frequency band by adjusting their power allocations. Nevertheless, attaining fair power allocation in NOMA structures presents complex challenges that require specific models, extensive training data, and addressing issues of generalization. This review aims to explore the applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning (DL) methods to tackle the challenges associated with fair power allocation in NOMA systems. The focus is on developing strong AI-DL models and creative optimization methods specifically designed for dynamic environments to improve transparency and interpretability. This study explores a wide range of techniques, including Reinforcement Learning, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for power allocation, Generative Adversarial Networks, Deep Reinforcement Learning, and Transfer Learning. The goal is to enhance various aspects, such as power allocation, user coupling, scheduling strategies, interference cancellation, user mobility, security, and deeplearning- based NOMA. Despite the difficulties, impartial power allocation algorithms based on AI and DL show promise in improving user performance and promoting fair power distribution in NOMA systems. This study emphasizes the significance of continuous research efforts to overcome current obstacles, enhance efficiency, and strengthen the dependability of wireless communication systems. This highlights the significance of NOMA as an advanced innovation for upcoming wireless generations that go beyond 5G. Future areas of study involve investigating federated learning and novel techniques for gathering data and utilizing interpretable AI-DL models to address existing constraints. Overall, this review highlights the potential of AI and DL techniques in achieving fair power distribution in NOMA systems. However, further investigation is crucial to addressing obstacles and fully exploring the capabilities of NOMA technology.
Transfer learning in severity classification in Alzheimer's : A benchmark comparative study on deep neural networks
(Altınbas University, 2024) Kırtay, Seda; Koçak, Muhammed Tayyip
Alzheimer's disease has become a condition of the brain that progresses over time and impacts a significant number of individuals worldwide. Early diagnosis, timely intervention and management of this disease process are very important in Alzheimer's disease. With regard to this study, we propose a transfer learning based early detection approach for Alzheimer's disease using Moderate Demented, Mild Demented, No Demented and Very Mild Demented classification sets. The proposed approach utilizes transfer learning based on the use of a deep neural network model that has been trained to extract features from brain imaging data. To evaluate the performance in transfer learning, a dataset of 6,400 images from brain MRI scans is augmented using data augmentation techniques and used in various convolutional neural network models the like VGG-19, Resnet-50, DenseNet-121, Inception-V3, VGG-16. The results are planned to show that these models achieve high sensitivity, specificity and high accuracy in detecting early signs of Alzheimer's disease. The study also emphasizes these advantages of using transfer methods of learning for early Alzheimer's detection by comparing it with various other deep learning models. The findings of this research suggest that transfer learning-based approaches can aid in the early detection of Alzheimer's disease., which affects millions of people, and offer a practical solution to classify cognitive impairment. With the proposed approach, it is shown that by helping clinicians to detect individuals at risk of Alzheimer's at an early stage, it will be possible to provide timely intervention and, in fact, better patient care. In terms of more effective applicability in clinical applications, the proposed approach can be applied to different and larger datasets and populations to make improvements and provide convenience to clinicians and patients. The best success rate of the models we used is achieved on the VGG19, RESNET50 KNN model with 99 percent.
Nuclei instance segmentation in colon histology images with YOLOv7
(Springer Nature, 2024) Yıldız, Serdar; Memiş, Abbas; Varlı, Songül
In histology image analysis, instance-based nuclei segmentation is one of the challenging tasks within the segmentation-guided studies since it is quite troublesome to detect each distinct nuclei instance of each nuclei type in images in contrast to the semantic segmentation in which all the image pixels of a nuclei type are labelled with the same mask ID although the segmented region may comprise of multiple instances. In this paper, an instance-based medical image segmentation task is addressed, and in this context, instances of multiple types of nuclei in colon histology images are aimed to be delineated distinctly. For the instance-based segmentation of the nuclei in colon histology images, the YOLOv7 algorithm and its built-in instance segmentation module are utilized. In the experimental studies performed on Colon Nuclei Identification and Counting (CoNIC) Challenge 2022 colon histology image dataset by using a 5-fold cross-validation performance evaluation strategy, nuclei instances belonging to 6 classes as the neutrophil, epithelial, lymphocyte, plasma, eosinophil and connective were segmented. To calculate the overall system accuracy, the quantification metrics of mean average precision (mAP) and mean panoptic quality (mPQ) were measured. In performance evaluations, quite promising accuracy values were obtained. The mAP values of 0.2885 and 0.2903, and mPQ values of 0.1659 and 0.1704 were observed by using the YOLOv7 algorithm. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first nuclei instance segmentation study with YOLOv7.

(2023) Bayraklılar, Mehmed Said; Buldu, Abdulkadir; Koçak, Muhammed Tayyip; Ülkir, Osman; Kuncan, Melih
Additive manufacturing (AM) technology has attracted significant attention with the rapid fabrication of 3D parts for various applications. The two most popular techniques in this technology, Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) and Stereolithography (SLA), make it possible to produce functional parts with complex shapes quickly and cheaply. Determining the mechanical properties of the parts fabricated by these methods is important in terms of efficient operation in the relevant fields. In this study, forty-five test specimens were fabricated using three different polymer materials (UVR, PLA, and ABS) in SLA and FDM type 3D printers, including tensile, compression, and 3-point bending tests. Samples are printed at a 75% fill rate according to ASTM standards. Experimental studies were carried out to determine the mechanical properties of the samples. Among the samples, the highest strength values in tensile, compression and bending test samples made of UVR material were 60.39 MPa, 127.74 MPa and 118.35 MPa, respectively. In addition to mechanical properties, hardness, and SEM analyses were performed to examine the surface roughness, surface topography, and composition of the samples.

(American Society for Testing and Materials, 2024) Koçak, Muhammed Tayyip; Bayraklılar, Mehmed Said; Kuncan, Melih
When replacing bones and implants, choosing the right materials for the artificial bone and orthopedic implants is crucial to the procedure’s success. In this work, a thorough assessment of the literature was followed by a thorough and rigorous evaluation of prospective materials for prosthetic femurs using a multicriteria decision-making process known as PROMETHEE-GAIA (Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment Evaluation and Geometric Analysis for Interactive Assistance). The proposed approach was validated using a total of 12 assessment parameters, including density, tensile strength, and ultimate tensile strength, and 17 candidate materials. The significance of the chosen criteria is well described. These 17 candidate implant materials and the 12 assessment criteria were used to develop a choice matrix. Rankings over the prepared matrix were produced using the PROMETHEE-GAIA program. Ti-6Al-7Nb, Ti-6Al-4V, and ASTM F1537, Standard Specification for Wrought Cobalt-28Chromium-6Molybdenum Alloys for Surgical Implants (UNS R31537, UNS R31538, and UNS R31539), Co-Cr-W emerged as the top contenders and were demonstrated as possible materials for effective artificial femur materials because of the assessment. With a large number of pertinent criteria and a wide range of materials, this study offers a framework for the selection of implant materials. It also emphasizes how choosing materials carefully may increase the durability and efficiency of orthopedic implants.

Mechanical shaft optimization: A study on static structural analysis and topological optimization in ansys
(2023) Koçak, Muhammed Tayyip; Bayraklılar, Mehmed Said
Shafts are extensively used in engineering fields, serving roles in power transmission and rotational movement, thus holding significant importance. This study focuses on analyzing the structure of a selected shaft model derived from research. Subsequently, topology optimization is applied based on the obtained findings. ANSYS software is utilized for performing analysis and optimization analysis. Following the completion of these analyses, the results are thoroughly examined. The optimization process resulted in a reduction of about 2.65% in the maximum stress and approximately 2.46% decrease in the maximum strain, indicating improved mechanical performance. However, an increase of about 33.24% in maximum deformation was observed, which warrants further consideration. Most notably, the weight of the shaft decreased significantly by approximately 57.81%, resulting in the creation of a much lighter model. These outcomes highlight the potential of topology optimization, demonstrating the ability to create lighter and stronger models while utilizing resources efficiently. Consequently, it becomes imperative to explore these outcomes further by modifying selected parameters to achieve optimal results and enhance the model's performance. This study successfully showcases the potential of topology optimization, paving the way for the creation of lighter and stronger models in engineering applications.

Healthcare service accessibility path planner: Unveiling a new era of intelligent appointment management systems based on outpatient prioritizing
(IEEE, 2023) Tokatlı, Nazlı; Koçak, Muhammed Tayyip; Kırtay, Seda; Göztepeli, Gürkan; Aktaş, İbrahim Serhat; Altun, Halis
In light of increased constraints on healthcare systems, particularly as a result of the pandemic, the importance of directing patients to the appropriate healthcare departments for individualized treatment based on their health conditions has been emphasized. Numerous healthcare institutions currently employ an online booking system that enables patients to schedule appointments. However, because patient requests are the main driving force behind this process, appointments with inappropriate departments or the bypassing of primary care facilities like general practice clinics frequently occur. Many studies proposed the use of AI-based chatbots and machine learning algorithms in healthcare systems to improve clinic operations, reduce patient wait times, and predict outpatient appointment no-show rates. This paper describes the conception and implementation steps of an innovative (mhealth app) that uses open AI tools to prioritize and classify outpatients based on their symptoms. Our AI-based appointment scheduling app will decide for the outpatient either to schedule appointments with primary care facilities or direct them to the appropriate healthcare department in hospitals only when absolutely necessary, thereby nurturing a more efficient, patient-centered healthcare service.

(IEEE, 2023) Yıldız, Serdar; Memiş, Abbas; Varlı, Songül
Bu bildiride, histoloji görüntülerinde yer alan hücre çekirdek örneklerinin daha başarılı bir biçimde bölütlenebilmesi amacıyla kullanılabilecek ve hücre tiplerine göre uyarlanabilir bir boyut-bazlı örnek budama yaklaşımı sunulmuştur. Gerçekleştirilen çalışmada, kolon histoloji görüntülerinde yer alan farklı hücre çekirdek tipleri öncelikle U-Net medikal görüntü bölütleme yöntemi ile anlamsal olarak bölütlenmiş ve her bir çekirdek tipi için bölüt haritaları oluşturulmuştur. Devamında, bölüt haritaları üzerinde Havza algoritması koşulmuş ve hücre çekirdek örnekleri elde edilmiştir. Son aşamada ise, uyarlanabilir boyut-bazlı örnek budama yaklaşımı ile, her bir çekirdek tipi için kabul edilebilir çekirdek boyutlarının altında kalan ve çekirdek örneği olarak tasnif edilmeyen örnek bölütler elenmiştir. CoNIC 2022 veri seti üzerinde gerçekleştirilen testlerde, uyarlanabilir boyut-bazlı örnek budama yaklaşımının, bu yaklaşımın kullanılmadığı normal bölütleme metodolojisine göre daha üstün başarı sağladığı gözlemlenmiş ve ortalama 0.5090 mPQ değeri ölçülmüştür.
Using artificial intelligence methods for detection of HCV-Caused diseases
(2023) Koçak, Muhammed Tayyip; Kaya, Yılmaz; Kuncan, Fatma
The Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) can cause chronic diseases and even lead to more serious conditions such as cirrhosis and fibrosis. Early detection of HCV infection is crucial to prevent these outcomes. However, in the early stages of infection, when symptoms are not yet evident, patients rarely undergo HCV testing. This highlights the need for alternative materials to guide HCV testing for early detection of the disease. In this study, we investigate the use of artificial intelligence technology to determine the disease status of individuals using blood data. A total of 615 individuals were included in the study. Preprocessing, filtering, feature selection, and classification processes were applied to the blood data. The correlation method was used for feature selection, where the features with high correlation values were selected and given as input to five different classification algorithms. The results of the study showed that the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm achieved the best classification success for detecting HCV patients, with a rate of 99.1%. This research demonstrates that artificial intelligence technology can be an effective tool for early detection of HCV-related diseases. The results indicate that the KNN algorithm can provide clear information about hepatitis infection from different blood values. Future studies can explore the use of other AI techniques and expand the sample size to improve the accuracy of the model.

Nuclei segmentation in colon histology images by using the deep CNNs: A U-Net based multi-class segmentation analysis
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) Yıldız, Serdar; Memiş, Abbas; Varlı, Songül
As is known, pathologists visually examine the tissue distributions by using microscopes traditionally. The rise in digital image processing and machine learning also allows high-performance computerized analysis of histology images taken with modern imaging systems. In general, histological image segmentation is the first step in the quantitative analysis of histology images. Therefore, a high-accuracy segmentation is essential for histology image analysis in most cases. In this paper, we performed a deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) based nuclei segmentation study on colon histology images. By using the U-Net biomedical image segmentation model, it is aimed to classify each pixel in colon histology images into one of the following 6 types of nucleus: epithelial, lymphocyte, plasma, eosinophil, neutrophil, connective tissue or classify it as the image background. In comprehensive experimental tests performed on Colon Nuclei Identification and Counting (CoNIC) Challenge dataset, commonly used segmentation and classification metrics were measured, and promising segmentation performances were achieved.
Guiding genetic search algorithm with ANN based fitness function: a case study using structured HOG descriptors for license plate detection
(Springer, 2023) Muhammad, Jawad; Altun, Halis
In literature, various metaheuristic approaches such as Genetic Search Algorithm (GSA), has been adopted for finding the sub-optimal solution to a wide range of optimization problems. The main challenges in adopting GSA is the formulation of a proper fitness function which provides a measure of evaluating the generated candidate solutions, as the subsequent steps in the searching process would mainly be based on the quality of the previous and current solutions. As such, this is a highly crucial step in the successful application of GSA. However, in most of the applications, the construction of the suitable fitness function is difficult due to lack of analytical relations between the GSA parameters and the fitness of the solution. In this paper, a GSA approach of using shallow artificial neural network as a surrogate fitness function is proposed to alleviate such difficulties in the application of the GSA. The license plate detection problem is selected as a case study. For this problem, a new set of features which is called structured Histogram of Oriented Gradients (sHOG) is proposed in order to improve the overall performance of the license plate detection problem. The sHOG features were used to train the shallow ANN which assigns a degree of confidence score to the candidate regions and hence guide the GSA search to sub-optimal solution in the search space of a given input image. The performance of the proposed approach was evaluated on a private and public license plates datasets and results proves that it can archive an IOU detection rate of up to 98.74% on the private dataset and 91.66% cross database performance on the public dataset.
