    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.

    Convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm based facial emotion recognition (FER) system for FER-2013 dataset
    (IEEE, 2022-11-18) Ezerceli, Özay; Eskil, Mustafa Taner
    Facial expression recognition (FER) is the key to understanding human emotions and feelings. It is an active area of research since human thoughts can be collected, processed, and used in customer satisfaction, politics, and medical domains. Automated FER systems had been developed and have been used to recognize humans’ emotions but it has been a quite challenging problem in machine learning due to the high intra-class variation. The first models were using known methods such as Support Vector Machines (SVM), Bayes classifier, Fuzzy Techniques, Feature Selection, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) in their models but still, some limitations affect the accuracy critically such as subjectivity, occlusion, pose, low resolution, scale, illumination variation, etc. The ability of CNN boosts FER accuracy. Deep learning algorithms have emerged as the greatest way to produce the best results in FER in recent years. Various datasets were used to train, test, and validate the models. FER2013, CK+, JAFFE and FERG are some of the most popular datasets. To improve the accuracy of FER models, one dataset or a mix of datasets has been employed. Every dataset includes limitations and issues that have an impact on the model that is trained for it. As a solution to this problem, our state-of-the-art model based on deep learning architectures, particularly convolutional neural network architectures (CNN) with supportive techniques has been implemented. The proposed model achieved 93.7% accuracy with the combination of FER2013 and CK+ datasets for FER2013.

    Retinal disease classification from bimodal OCT and OCTA using a CNN-ViT hybrid architecture
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025-09-21) Aydın, Ömer Faruk; Tek, Faik Boray; Turkan, Yasemin
    Retinal diseases are the leading cause of vision impairment and blindness worldwide. Early and accurate diagnosis is critical for effective treatment, and recent advances in imaging technologies such as Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and OCT Angiography (OCTA), have enabled detailed visualization of the retinal structure and vasculature. By leveraging these modalities, this study proposes an advanced deep learning architecture called MultiModalNet for automated multi-class retinal disease classification. MultiModalNet employs a dual-branch design, where OCTA projection maps are processed through a ResNet101 encoder, and cross-sectional slices from the OCT volume (B-scans) are analyzed using a Vision Transformer (ViT-Large). The extracted features from both branches were fused and passed through the fully connected layers for the final classification. Evaluated on the 3-class OCTA-500 dataset, which includes Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), and Normal cases, the proposed model achieved state-of-the-art classification accuracy of 94.59 percent, significantly o utperforming single-modality baselines. This result highlights the effectiveness of integrating vascular and structural information to improve the diagnostic performance. The findings suggest that hybrid multi-modal deep learning approaches can play a transformative role in computer-aided ophthalmology, enhancing both clinical decision-making and screening workflows.
