• A novel kernel to predict software defectiveness 

  Yıldız, Olcay Taner; Okutan, Ahmet (Elsevier Science Inc., 2016-09)

  Although the software defect prediction problem has been researched for a long time, the results achieved are not so bright. In this paper, we propose to use novel kernels for defect prediction that are based on the ...

• Tree Ensembles on the Induced Discrete Space 

  Yıldız, Olcay Taner (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016-05)

  Decision trees are widely used predictive models in machine learning. Recently, K-tree is proposed, where the original discrete feature space is expanded by generating all orderings of values of k discrete attributes and ...

• Cryptanalysis of image encryption with compound chaotic sequence 

  Solak, Ercan (IEEE, 2009)

  Recently, an image encryption algorithm based on compound chaotic sequence was proposed [Tong et al., Image and Vision Computing 26 (2008) 843]. In this paper, we analyze the security weaknesses of the proposal. We give ...

• Kaotik kriptografinin çilesi 

  Solak, Ercan (IEEE, 2013)

  Despite being an active research area for the last two decades, chaotic cryptography has not found a place in mainstream cryptography literature. This paper explores the reasons for this separation.

• VC-Dimension of Univariate Decision Trees 

  Yıldız, Olcay Taner (IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2015-02)

  In this paper, we give and prove the lower bounds of the Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC)-dimension of the univariate decision tree hypothesis class. The VC-dimension of the univariate decision tree depends on the VC-dimension ...

• Quadratic programming for class ordering in rule induction 

  Yıldız, Olcay Taner (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2015-03-01)

  Separate-and-conquer type rule induction algorithms such as Ripper, solve a K>2 class problem by converting it into a sequence of K - 1 two-class problems. As a usual heuristic, the classes are fed into the algorithm in ...

• Assessment of algorithms for mitosis detection in breast cancer histopathology images 

  Veta, Mitko; Van Diest, Paul J.; Willems, Stefan Martin; Wang, Haibo; Madabhushi, Anant; Cruz-Roa, Angel; Gonzalez, Fabio; Larsen, Anders Boesen Lindbo; Vestergaard, Jacob Schack Chack; Dahl, Anders Bjorholm; Cireşan, Dan Claudiu; Schmidhuber, Jürgen U.; Giusti, Alessandro; Gambardella, Luca M.; Tek, Faik Boray; Walter, Thomas C.; Wang, Chingwei; Kondo, Satoshi; Matuszewski, Bogdan J.; Precioso, Frédéric; Snell, Violet; Kittler, Josef; De Campos, Teofilo E.; Khan, Adnan M.; Rajpoot, Nasir Mahmood; Arkoumani, Evdokia; Lacle, Miangela M.; Viergever, Max A.; Pluim, Josien P W (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2015-02)

  The proliferative activity of breast tumors, which is routinely estimated by counting of mitotic figures in hematoxylin and eosin stained histology sections, is considered to be one of the most important prognostic markers. ...

• Facial expression recognition based on anatomy 

  Eskil, Mustafa Taner; Benli, Kristin Surpuhi (Academic Press INC Elsevier Science, 2014-02)
