    On the inverse point-source problem of the poisson equation
    (Istanbul University, 2005) Yılmaz, Melek; Şengül, Metin; Geçkinli, Melih
    In this work, a basic inverse heat conduction problem of a simple 2-D model with steady state heat source is taken into view. The physical problem is for a square region with uniform thermophysical properties and a point heat source of unit magnitude. To obtain boundary data, temperature probes are placed at the midpoints of the sides of the square domain. The objective of the inverse problem is to estimate the coordinates of the point source with the least amount of data. Initially, the inverse problem is analyzed to determine the main causes that render the problem ill conditioned. As for the solution, among the methods that has been tried so far, the best results are obtained from a backpropagating ANN with four-probe data. When white Gaussian noise is added to the measurements, no catastrophic failure has been observed.

    Adaptive convolution kernel for artificial neural networks
    (Academic Press Inc., 2021-02) Tek, Faik Boray; Çam, İlker; Karlı, Deniz
    Many deep neural networks are built by using stacked convolutional layers of fixed and single size (often 3 × 3) kernels. This paper describes a method for learning the size of convolutional kernels to provide varying size kernels in a single layer. The method utilizes a differentiable, and therefore backpropagation-trainable Gaussian envelope which can grow or shrink in a base grid. Our experiments compared the proposed adaptive layers to ordinary convolution layers in a simple two-layer network, a deeper residual network, and a U-Net architecture. The results in the popular image classification datasets such as MNIST, MNIST-CLUTTERED, CIFAR-10, Fashion, and ‘‘Faces in the Wild’’ showed that the adaptive kernels can provide statistically significant improvements on ordinary convolution kernels. A segmentation experiment in the Oxford-Pets dataset demonstrated that replacing ordinary convolution layers in a U-shaped network with 7 × 7 adaptive layers can improve its learning performance and ability to generalize.

    A novel similarity based unsupervised technique for training convolutional filters
    (IEEE, 2023-05-17) Erkoç, Tuğba; Eskil, Mustata Taner
    Achieving satisfactory results with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) depends on how effectively the filters are trained. Conventionally, an appropriate number of filters is carefully selected, the filters are initialized with a proper initialization method and trained with backpropagation over several epochs. This training scheme requires a large labeled dataset, which is costly and time-consuming to obtain. In this study, we propose an unsupervised approach that extracts convolutional filters from a given dataset in a self-organized manner by processing the training set only once without using backpropagation training. The proposed method allows for the extraction of filters from a given dataset in the absence of labels. In contrast to previous studies, we no longer need to select the best number of filters and a suitable filter weight initialization scheme. Applying this method to the MNIST, EMNIST-Digits, Kuzushiji-MNIST, and Fashion-MNIST datasets yields high test performances of 99.19%, 99.39%, 95.03%, and 90.11%, respectively, without applying backpropagation training or using any preprocessed and augmented data.
