Yayın Calculating the VC-dimension of decision trees(IEEE, 2009) Aslan, Özlem; Yıldız, Olcay Taner; Alpaydın, Ahmet İbrahim EthemWe 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.Yayın On the effect of random sampling jitter on cyclostationarity based spectrum sensing algorithms for cognitive radio(IEEE, 2009) Öner, Mustafa MengüçCognitive radio is an enabling technology, which is expected to lead to a more efficient utilization of the available spectral resources due to its flexibility and its ability to sense its spectral environment. Recently, spectrum sensing methods based on exploiting the cyclostationary characteristics of communication signals have been drawing considerable interest. Imperfections in the cognitive radio receiver that affect the cyclic statistics of a signal of interest may lead to a degradation in the performance of spectrum sensing algorithms based on cyclostationarity. One such typical source of imperfection is random timing jitter in the sampling process. In this work, we explore the effect of random sampling jitter on the second order cyclostationary statistics of wide sense cyclostationary signals. General analytical expressions are derived for the cyclic statistics of sampled signals in the presence of sampling jitter and specific results are provided for two cases of interest. Subsequently, the effect of the jitter on a spectrum sensing algorithm is investigated via simulations.Yayın CSR practices in Turkey: Examining CSR reports(Greenleaf Publishing, 2015-07) Uyan Atay, Bilge; Tuncay Çelikel, AslıThis study examines the private companies that publish CSR reports in Turkey. Turkey has a growing economy, located in an international arena with an increasing number of global brands starting to export their products from Turkey with even more multinational enterprises (MNEs) planning to locate in the country. Now, some Turkish companies and subsidiaries of MNEs have started to publish CSR reports. Our findings show that strong Turkish conglomerates are playing a constructive role in macro-level development and governance in Turkey. They are also addressing local problems such as education, human rights, environmental protection and workers' rights. Besides, subsidiaries of MNEs are also having an impact with respect to the application of their headquarters' community programs in Turkish society.Yayın “International conference on vibration problems” ICOVP-2007 and a short history(Springer Science and Business Media, LLC, 2008) İnan, Esin[No abstract available]Yayın Mülteci barınaklarının uydu görüntülerinden çoklu-sınıflı çizge-kesme bölütleme ve gölge bilgisi kullanılarak otomatik sezimi(IEEE, 2014-04-23) Kucur Ergünay, Şerife Seda; Kahraman, Fatih; Ateş, Hasan FehmiBu çalışmada, mülteci kamplarında bulunan yaşam alanlarının/barınakların (çadır, konteynır vb.) uydu ve hava görüntülerinden otomatik olarak sezimi ve sayımına yönelik bir yöntem tanıtılmaktadır. Mülteci kamplarındaki barınakların çok yüksek çözünürlüklü (VHR) görüntülerde dahi çok küçük boyuta sahip, belli bir alanda çok sık ve bazen karmaşık şekilde yerleştirilmiş ve arkaplan ile ayrıştırılması zor nesnelere denk geliyor olması otomatik barınak/çadır sezim ve sayımını zorlaştırmaktadır. Bahsedilen problemin çözümüne yönelik olarak çok sınıflı çizge-kesme (graph-cut) bölütlemesi ve gölge bilgisinin kullanıldığı özgün bir yöntem çalışma kapsamında önerilmektedir. Buna göre, ilk adımda çizge-kesme bölütleme yöntemi ve morfoloji işlemleri uygulanarak çadır sezimi yapılmıştır. Bu adımda sezilememiş çadırların bulunabilmesi için ikinci bir adımda çadırların gölge bilgisinden faydalanılmıştır. En son adımda gradyan-tabanlı eşikleme yöntemi ile yanlış tespitlerin elenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Önerilen yöntem, özellikle karmaşık yerleşim düzenine sahip mülteci kampları (çadırkent) üzerinde test edilmiştir. Yöntemin başarımı kesinlik (precision) ve geri getirme (recall) kriterlerine göre belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen ortalama kesinlik ve geri getirme başarımları sırasıyla %91.9 ve %90.0 olup problemin zorluğu göz önünde bulundurulduğunda umut vadedici bir sonuçtur.Yayın Phased subarray imaging for low-cost, wideband coherent array imaging(IEEE, 2003) Johnson, Jeremy A.; Oralkan, Ömer; Ergün, Arif Sanlı; Demirci, Utkan; Karaman, Mustafa; Khuri-Yakub, Butrus ThomasThe front-end hardware complexity of conventional full phased array (FPA) imaging is proportional to the number of array elements. Phased subarray (PSA) imaging has been proposed as a method of reducing the hardware complexity-and therefore system cost and size-while achieving near-FPA image quality. A new method is presented for designing the subarray-dependent interpolation filters suitable for wideband PSA imaging. The method was tested experimentally using pulse-echo data of a wire target phantom acquired using a 3.2-cm. 128-element capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) array with 85% fractional bandwidth at 3 MHz. A specific PSA configuration using seven 32-element subarrays was compared to FPA imaging, representing a 4-fold reduction in front-end hardware complexity and a 43% decrease in frame rate. For targets near the fixed transmit focal distance, the mean 6-dB lateral resolution was identical to that of FPA, the axial resolution improved by 4%, and the SNR decreased by 5 dB. Measurements were repeated for 10 different PSA configurations with subarray sizes ranging from 4 to 60. The lateral and axial resolutions did not vary significantly with subarray size; both the SNR and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) improved with increased subarray size.Yayın A new way of conducting war: Cyberwar, is that real?(Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2014-12-01) Mehmetçik, HakanThere are numerous discussions on both the reality and impact of cyberwar. Most of the critics are based on the Clausewitzian perspective of war in which its political nature must exist, an act of war has to be characteristically violent and has instrumental purposefulness. Therefore cyberwar is generally regarded as a conduct of action that simply doesn't match with these Clausewitzian criteria of war. However during the last two decades, with the advancement of information technology and widening connecters of the world, many incidents such as Estonian and Georgian cases of cyberattacks, Stuxnet worms, and many other politically motivated cyberattacks, show us that we need to think carefully about the terminology that being used by scholars, experts and policy makers. In this chapter, I aim to discuss about the term cyberwar within a broader theory of war in International Relations studies. In doing so, my aim is to bring together related International Relations Theories and the contemporary cyberwar discussion and discuss the issue within a theoretical perspective.Yayın A global optimal control methodology and its application to a mobile robot model(Elsevier B.V., 2016) Dinçmen, ErkinA global optimal control algorithm is developed and applied to an omni-directional mobile robot model. The aim is to search and find the most intense signal source among other signal sources in the operation region of the robot. In other words, the control problem is to find the global extremum point when there are local extremas. The locations of the signal sources are unknown and it is assumed that the signal magnitudes are maximum at the sources and their magnitudes are decreasing away from the sources. The distribution characteristics of the signals are unknown, i.e. the gradients of the signal distribution functions are unknown. The control algorithm also doesn't need any position measurement of the robot itself. Only the signal magnitude should be measured via a sensor mounted on the robot. The simulation study shows the performance of the controller.Yayın A New speech coding algorithm using zero cross and phoneme based SYMPES(IEEE, 2013-07-11) Şişman, Burak; Güz, Ümit; Gürkan, Hakan; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık BinboğaIn this work, a new low bit rate hybrid speech coding approach which combines the benefits of the SYMPES (Systematic Procedure for Predefined Envelope and Signature Sequences) and zero cross and phoneme based segmentation is proposed. In the new approach, the SYMPES structure is developed in the phoneme based fashion. In order to achieve lower bit rates, some drawbacks such as computational complexity, relatively high encoding times etc. of the SYMPES are also eliminated in the new version. Experimental results show that in almost same bit rates very promising speech quality is obtained compared to the other conventional methods such as CELP (Code Excited Linear Predictive) coding algorithm.Yayın A precision estimation method for volumetric changes(IEEE, 2019-06) Akça, Mehmet Devrim; Stylianidis, Efstratios; Gruen, Armin W.; Altan, Mehmet Orhan; Hofer, Martin; Smagas, Konstantinos; Sanchez Martin, Victor; Walli, Andreas; Jimeno, Elisa; Garcia, AlejandroEarth surface changes are often computed by comparing the sequences of digital elevation models (DEMs) so called the DEM of difference (DoD) method. We present an operational DEM generation, co-registration and DoD comparison software in which the surface changes are quantified in metric units of volume. A practical method, which is based on the law of error propagation, is developed to estimate the theoretical precisions of volumetric changes. The proposed pipeline can estimate the change of object volumes (in terms of loss and gain) together with their precision numbers. Change of the forest volume in a fire effected region in a test site is analyzed for the validation. The method can be used for various change detection applications related to forestry as well as other topics such as earthworks, geomorphology, mining, and urbanization.
