Metric Learning Via Linear Embeddings For Human Motion Recognition, Byoungdoo Kong Dec 2020

Metric Learning Via Linear Embeddings For Human Motion Recognition, Byoungdoo Kong

Masters Theses

We consider the application of Few-Shot Learning (FSL) and dimensionality reduction to the problem of human motion recognition (HMR). The structure of human motion has unique characteristics such as its dynamic and high-dimensional nature. Recent research on human motion recognition uses deep neural networks with multiple layers. Most importantly, large datasets will need to be collected to use such networks to analyze human motion. This process is both time-consuming and expensive since a large motion capture database must be collected and labeled. Despite significant progress having been made in human motion recognition, state-of-the-art algorithms still misclassify actions because of characteristics …

Dynamically Updated Diversified Ensemble-Based Approach For Handling Concept Drift, Kanu Goel, Shalini Batra Jan 2020

Dynamically Updated Diversified Ensemble-Based Approach For Handling Concept Drift, Kanu Goel, Shalini Batra

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Concept drift is the phenomenon where underlying data distribution changes over time unexpectedly. Examining such drifts and getting insight into the executing processes at that instance of time is a big challenge. Prediction models should be capable of handling drifts in scenarios where statistical properties show abrupt changes. Various strategies exist in the literature to deal with such challenging scenarios but the majority of them are limited to the identification of a particular kind of drift pattern. The proposed approach uses online drift detection in a diversified adaptive setting with pruning techniques to formulate a concept drift handling approach, named …


A Random Subspace Based Conic Functions Ensemble Classifier, Emre Çi̇men Jan 2020

A Random Subspace Based Conic Functions Ensemble Classifier, Emre Çi̇men

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Classifiers overfit when the data dimensionality ratio to the number of samples is high in a dataset. This problem makes a classification model unreliable. When the overfitting problem occurs, one can achieve high accuracy in the training; however, test accuracy occurs significantly less than training accuracy. The random subspace method is a practical approach to overcome the overfitting problem. In random subspace methods, the classification algorithm selects a random subset of the features and trains a classifier function trained with the selected features. The classification algorithm repeats the process multiple times, and eventually obtains an ensemble of classifier functions. Conic …


Revised Polyhedral Conic Functions Algorithm For Supervised Classification, Gürhan Ceylan, Gürkan Öztürk Jan 2020

Revised Polyhedral Conic Functions Algorithm For Supervised Classification, Gürhan Ceylan, Gürkan Öztürk

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In supervised classification, obtaining nonlinear separating functions from an algorithm is crucial for prediction accuracy. This paper analyzes the polyhedral conic functions (PCF) algorithm that generates nonlinear separating functions by only solving simple subproblems. Then, a revised version of the algorithm is developed that achieves better generalization and fast training while maintaining the simplicity and high prediction accuracy of the original PCF algorithm. This is accomplished by making the following modifications to the subproblem: extension of the objective function with a regularization term, relaxation of a hard constraint set and introduction of a new error term. Experimental results show that …

A Novel Genome Analysis Method With The Entropy-Based Numerical Techniqueusing Pretrained Convolutional Neural Networks, Bi̇hter Daş, Suat Toraman, İbrahi̇m Türkoğlu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The identification of DNA sequences as exon and intron is a common problem in genome analysis. The methods used for feature extraction and mapping techniques for the digitization of sequences affect directly the solution of this problem. The existing mapping techniques are not enough to detect coding and noncoding regions in some genomes because the digital representation of each base in a DNA sequence with an integer does not fully reflect the structure of an original DNA sequence. In the entropy-based mapping technique, we could overcome this problem because the technique deepens distinction rates of exon regions, and better reflects …
