    Calculating the VC-dimension of decision trees
    (IEEE, 2009) Aslan, Özlem; Yıldız, Olcay Taner; Alpaydın, Ahmet İbrahim Ethem
    We propose an exhaustive search algorithm that calculates the VC-dimension of univariate decision trees with binary features. The VC-dimension of the univariate decision tree with binary features depends on (i) the VC-dimension values of the left and right subtrees, (ii) the number of inputs, and (iii) the number of nodes in the tree. From a training set of example trees whose VC-dimensions are calculated by exhaustive search, we fit a general regressor to estimate the VC-dimension of any binary tree. These VC-dimension estimates are then used to get VC-generalization bounds for complexity control using SRM in decision trees, i.e., pruning. Our simulation results shows that SRM-pruning using the estimated VC-dimensions finds trees that are as accurate as those pruned using cross-validation.

    VC-dimension of rule sets
    (IEEE Computer Soc, 2014-12-04) Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    In this paper, we give and prove lower bounds of the VC-dimension of the rule set hypothesis class where the input features are binary or continuous. The VC-dimension of the rule set depends on the VC-dimension values of its rules and the number of inputs.

    Extension of conventional co-training learning strategies to three-view and committee-based learning strategies for effective automatic sentence segmentation
    (IEEE, 2018) Dalva, Doğan; Güz, Ümit; Gürkan, Hakan
    The objective of this work is to develop effective multi-view semi-supervised machine learning strategies for sentence boundary classification problem when only small sets of sentence boundary labeled data are available. We propose three-view and committee-based learning strategies incorporating with co-training algorithms with agreement, disagreement, and self-combined learning strategies using prosodic, lexical and morphological information. We compare experimental results of proposed three-view and committee-based learning strategies to other semi-supervised learning strategies in the literature namely, self-training and co-training with agreement, disagreement, and self-combined strategies. The experiment results show that sentence segmentation performance can be highly improved using multi-view learning strategies that we propose since data sets can be represented by three redundantly sufficient and disjoint feature sets. We show that the proposed strategies substantially improve the average performance when only a small set of manually labeled data is available for Turkish and English spoken languages, respectively.

    Convolutional attention network for MRI-based Alzheimer's disease classification and its interpretability analysis
    (IEEE, 2021-09-17) Türkan, Yasemin; Tek, Faik Boray
    Neuroimaging techniques, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET), help to identify Alzheimer's disease (AD). These techniques generate large-scale, high-dimensional, multimodal neuroimaging data, which is time-consuming and difficult to interpret and classify. Therefore, interest in deep learning approaches for the classification of 3D structural MRI brain scans has grown rapidly. In this research study, we improved the 3D VGG model proposed by Korolev et al. [2]. We increased the filters in the 3D convolutional layers and then added an attention mechanism for better classification. We compared the performance of the proposed approaches for the classification of Alzheimer's disease versus mild cognitive impairments and normal cohorts on the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) dataset. We observed that both the accuracy and area under curve results improved with the proposed models. However, deep neural networks are black boxes that produce predictions that require further explanation for medical usage. We compared the 3D-data interpretation capabilities of the proposed models using four different interpretability methods: Occlusion, 3D Ultrametric Contour Map, 3D Gradient-Weighted Class Activation Mapping, and SHapley Additive explanations (SHAP). We observed that explanation results differed in different network models and data classes.

    Feature extraction from discrete attributes
    (IEEE, 2010) Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    In many pattern recognition applications, first decision trees are used due to their simplicity and easily interpretable nature. In this paper, we extract new features by combining k discrete attributes, where for each subset of size k of the attributes, we generate all orderings of values of those attributes exhaustively. We then apply the usual univariate decision tree classifier using these orderings as the new attributes. Our simulation results on 16 datasets from UCI repository [2] show that the novel decision tree classifier performs better than the proper in terms of error rate and tree complexity. The same idea can also be applied to other univariate rule learning algorithms such as C4.5Rules [7] and Ripper [3].

    Shallow parsing in Turkish
    (IEEE, 2017) Topsakal, Ozan; Açıkgöz, Onur; Gürkan, Ali Tunca; Kanburoğlu, Ali Buğra; Ertopçu, Burak; Özenç, Berke; Çam, İlker; Avar, Begüm; Ercan, Gökhan; Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    In this study, shallow parsing is applied on Turkish sentences. These sentences are used to train and test the per-formances of various learning algorithms with various features specified for shallow parsing in Turkish.

    An incremental model selection algorithm based on cross-validation for finding the architecture of a Hidden Markov model on hand gesture data sets
    (IEEE, 2009-12-13) Ulaş, Aydın; Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    In a multi-parameter learning problem, besides choosing the architecture of the learner, there is the problem of finding the optimal parameters to get maximum performance. When the number of parameters to be tuned increases, it becomes infeasible to try all the parameter sets, hence we need an automatic mechanism to find the optimum parameter setting using computationally feasible algorithms. In this paper, we define the problem of optimizing the architecture of a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) as a state space search and propose the MSUMO (Model Selection Using Multiple Operators) framework that incrementally modifies the structure and checks for improvement using cross-validation. There are five variants that use forward/backward search, single/multiple operators, and depth-first/breadth-first search. On four hand gesture data sets, we compare the performance of MSUMO with the optimal parameter set found by exhaustive search in terms of expected error and computational complexity.
