Learning Prototypes For Multiple Instance Learning, Özgür Emre Si̇vri̇kaya, Mert Yüksekgönül, Mustafa Gökçe Baydoğan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Multiple instance learning (MIL) is a weakly supervised learning method that works on the labeled bag of instances data. A prototypical network is a popular embedding approach in MIL. They overcome the common problems that other MIL approaches may have to deal with including dimensionality, loss of instance-level information, and complexity. They demonstrate competitive performance in classification. This work proposes a simple model that provides a permutation invariant prototype generator from a given MIL data set. We aim to find out prototypes in the feature space to map the collection of instances (i.e. bags) to a distance feature space and …

This work addresses the problem of teaching a deeplearning model to recognize differently oriented skeletal data. The multi-view 2D skeletal sign language video data isobtained using 3D motion-captured system. A total of 9 signer views were used for training the proposed network andthe 6 for testing and validation. In order to obtain multi-view deep features for recognition, we proposed an end-to-endtrainable multistream convolutional neural network (CNN) with late feature fusion. The fused multiview features arethen inputted to …


Evaluation Of Mother Wavelets On Steady-State Visually-Evoked Potentials Fortriple-Command Brain-Computer Interfaces, Ebru Sayilgan, Yilmaz Kemal Yüce, Yalçin İşler Jan 2021

Evaluation Of Mother Wavelets On Steady-State Visually-Evoked Potentials Fortriple-Command Brain-Computer Interfaces, Ebru Sayilgan, Yilmaz Kemal Yüce, Yalçin İşler

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Wavelet transform (WT) is an important tool to analyze the time-frequency structure of a signal. The WT relies on a prototype signal that is called the mother wavelet. However, there is no single universal wavelet that fits all signals. Thus, the selection of mother wavelet function might be challenging to represent the signal to achieve the optimum performance. There are some studies to determine the optimal mother wavelet for other biomedical signals; however, there exists no evaluation for steady-state visually-evoked potentials (SSVEP) signals that becomes very popular among signals manipulated for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) recently. This study aims to explore, …

The most common features used to distinguish patients with cancer and healthy subjects are peak densities, peak height ratios, and peak area ratios. The greatest challenge of studies conducted to distinguish cancer patients from healthy subjects using FTIR signals is that the signals of cancer patients and healthy subjects are similar. In the …


A Fast And Memory-Efficient Two-Pass Connected-Component Labeling Algorithm For Binary Images, Bilal Bataineh Jan 2019

A Fast And Memory-Efficient Two-Pass Connected-Component Labeling Algorithm For Binary Images, Bilal Bataineh

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Connected-component labeling is an important process in image analysis and pattern recognition. It aims to deduct the connected components by giving a unique label value for each individual component. Many algorithms have been proposed, but they still face several problems such as slow execution time, falling in the pipeline, requiring a huge amount of memory with high resolution, being noisy, and giving irregular images. In this work, a fast and memory-efficient connected-component labeling algorithm for binary images is proposed. The proposed algorithm is based on a new run-base tracing method with a new resolving process to find the final equivalent …

An Efficient Algorithm To Decompose A Compound Rectilinear Shape Into Simplerectilinear Shapes, Imran Sharif, Debasis Chaudhuri, Naveen Kushwaha, Ashok Samal, Brij Mohan Singh Jan 2018

An Efficient Algorithm To Decompose A Compound Rectilinear Shape Into Simplerectilinear Shapes, Imran Sharif, Debasis Chaudhuri, Naveen Kushwaha, Ashok Samal, Brij Mohan Singh

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Detection of a compound object is a critical problem in target recognition. For example, buildings form an important class of shapes whose recognition is important in many remote sensing based applications. Due to the coarse resolution of imaging sensors, adjacent buildings in the scenes appear as a single compound shape object. These compound objects can be represented as the union of a set of disjoint rectilinear shaped objects. Separating the individual buildings from the resulting compound objects in a segmented image is often difficult but important nevertheless. In this paper we propose a new and efficient technique to decompose a …

Statistical Analysis Of Disturbances In Power Transmission Systems, Liu Liu Aug 2014

Statistical Analysis Of Disturbances In Power Transmission Systems, Liu Liu

Masters Theses

Disturbance analysis is essential to the study of the power transmission systems. Traditionally, disturbances are described as megawatt (MW) events, but the access to data is inefficient due to the slow installation and authorization process of the monitoring device. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to disturbance analysis conducted at the distribution level by exploiting the frequency recordings from Frequency Disturbance Recorders (FDRs) of the Frequency Monitoring Network (FNET/GridEye), based on the relationship between frequency change and the power loss of disturbances - linearly associated by the Frequency Response. We first analyze the real disturbance records of North …

A Reduced Probabilistic Neural Network For The Classification Of Large Databases, Abdelhadi Lotfi, Abdelkader Benyettou

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The probabilistic neural network (PNN) is a special type of radial basis neural network used mainly for classification problems. Due to the size of the network after training, this type of network is usually used for problems with a small-sized training dataset. In this paper, a new training algorithm is presented for use with large training databases. Application to the handwritten digit database shows that the reduced PNN performs better than the standard PNN for all of the studied cases with a big gain in size and processing speed. This new type of neural network can be used easily for …
