Determining Overfitting And Underfitting In Generative Adversarial Networksusing Fréchet Distance, Enes Eken Jan 2021

Determining Overfitting And Underfitting In Generative Adversarial Networksusing Fréchet Distance, Enes Eken

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) can be used in a wide range of applications where drawing samples from a data probability distribution without explicitly representing it is essential. Unlike the deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained for mapping an input to one of the multiple outputs, monitoring the overfitting and underfitting in GANs is not trivial since they are not classifying but generating a data. While training set and validation set accuracy give a direct sense of success in terms of overfitting and underfitting for CNNs during the training process, evaluating the GANs mainly depends on the visual inspection of the …

Obround Trees: Sparsity Enhanced Feedback Motion Planning Of Differential Driverobotic Systems, Mustafa Mert Ankarali

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Robot motion planning & control is one of the most critical and prevalent problems in the robotics community. Even though original motion planning algorithms had relied on "open-loop" strategies and policies, researchers and engineers have been focusing on feedback motion planning and control algorithms due to the uncertainties, such as process and sensor noise of autonomous robotic applications. Recently, several studies proposed some robust feedback motion planning strategies based on sparsely connected safe zones. In this class of planning and control policies, local control policy inside a single zone computes and feeds the control actions that can drive the robot …


Novel Ofdm Transmission Scheme Using Generalized Prefix With Subcarrierindex Modulation, Yusuf Acar Jan 2021

Novel Ofdm Transmission Scheme Using Generalized Prefix With Subcarrierindex Modulation, Yusuf Acar

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The cyclic prefix (CP) is a prefix technique widely used in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in order to eliminate the intersymbol interference (ISI) caused by the dispersion of wireless channels. However, CP reduces the number of symbols that can be transmitted in one OFDM symbol. Therefore, CP is one of the bottlenecks of OFDM systems limiting their spectral efficiency (SE). This limitation on the SE of the classical CP-based OFDM system is the main motivation for this work to introduce a novel method. In this paper, the design of a new CP structure, which is based on the …


Control Synthesis For Parametric Timed Automata Under Reachability, Ebru Aydin Göl Jan 2021

Control Synthesis For Parametric Timed Automata Under Reachability, Ebru Aydin Göl

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Timed automata is a fundamental modeling formalism for real-time systems. During the design of such real-time systems, often the system information is incomplete, and design choices can vary. These uncertainties can be integrated to the model via parameters and labelled transitions. Then, the design can be completed by tuning the parameters and restricting the transitions via controller synthesis. These problems, namely parameter synthesis and controller synthesis, are studied separately in the literature. Herein, these are combined to generate an automaton satisfying the given specification by both parameter tuning and controller synthesis, thus exploring all design choices. First, it is shown …

A New Approach: Semisupervised Ordinal Classification, Ferda Ünal, Derya Bi̇rant, Özlem Şeker

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Semisupervised learning is a type of machine learning technique that constructs a classifier by learning from a small collection of labeled samples and a large collection of unlabeled ones. Although some progress has been made in this research area, the existing semisupervised methods provide a nominal classification task. However, semisupervised learning for ordinal classification is yet to be explored. To bridge the gap, this study combines two concepts ?semisupervised learning? and "ordinal classification" for the categorical class labels for the first time and introduces a new concept of "semisupervised ordinal classification". This paper proposes a new algorithm for semisupervised learning …


Novel Fast Terminal Sliding Mode Controller With Current Constraint Forpermanent-Magnet Synchronous Motor, Yao Fang, Huifang Kong, Daoyuan Ding Jan 2021

Novel Fast Terminal Sliding Mode Controller With Current Constraint Forpermanent-Magnet Synchronous Motor, Yao Fang, Huifang Kong, Daoyuan Ding

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Under the noncascade structure, the balance between q-axis current constraint and dynamic performance in permanent-magnet synchronous motor system has become a critical problem. On the one hand, large transient current is required to provide high torque to achieve fast dynamic performance. On the other hand, current constraint becomes a state constraint problem, instead of governing q-axis reference current in the cascade structure directly. Aiming at this issue, a novel fast terminal sliding mode control (FTSMC)-based controller with current constraint is developed in this paper. The novelty of this scheme is related to the proposed penalty function based on interior point …

A Novel Hybrid Decision-Based Filter And Universal Edge-Based Logical Smoothingadd-On To Remove Impulsive Noise, Rajanbir Singh Ghumaan, Prateek Jeet Singh Sohi, Nikhil Sharma, Bharat Garg

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper presents a novel hybrid filter along with a universal extension to remove salt and pepper noise even at a very high noise density. The proposed filter initially specifies a threshold and then denoises the image using a combination of linear, nonlinear, and probabilistic techniques. Furthermore, to improve the quality, a universal add-on is presented which uses edge detection and smoothening techniques to brush out fine details from the restored image. To evaluate the efficacy, the proposed and existing filtering techniques are implemented in MATLAB and simulated with benchmark images. The simulation results show that the proposed filter is …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A composite core contains large and small heterogeneous microengines. The most important property of composite cores is their ability to select the most proper microengine for running applications to save power without sacrificing too much performance. To achieve this, a composite core tries to predict the performance of the passive microengine by collecting various processor statistics from the active microengine at runtime. In the method proposed in the literature, the microengine, which is more ideal for running the rest of the application, is determined by a migrationdecision circuitry that is bound to collected statistics and complex functions, which are run …

Clustering Ensemble Selection Based On The Extended Jaccard Measure, Hajar Khalili, Mohsen Rabbani, Ebrahim Akbari

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Clustering ensemble selection has shown high efficiency in the improvement of the quality of clustering solutions. This technique comprises two important metrics: diversity and quality. It has been empirically proved that ensembles of higher effectiveness can be achieved through taking into consideration the diversity and quality simultaneously. However, the relationships between these two metrics in base clusterings have remained uncertain. This paper suggests a new hierarchical selection algorithm using a diversity/quality measure based on the Jaccard similarity measure. In the proposed algorithm, the selection of the subsets of the clustering partitions is done based on their diversity measures. The proposed …

The complex task of vision based fruit and vegetables classification at a supermarket self-checkout poses significant challenges. These challenges include the highly variable physical features of fruit and vegetables i.e. colour, texture shape and size which are dependent upon ripeness and storage conditions in a supermarket as well as general product variation. Supermarket environments are also significantly variable with respect to lighting conditions. Attempting to build an exhaustive dataset to capture all these variations, for example a dataset of a fruit consisting of all possible colour variations, is nearly impossible. Moreover, some fruit and vegetable classes have significant similar physical …

Human Activity Recognition Based On Wearable Flex Sensor And Pulse Sensor, Xiaozhu Jin

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In order to fulfill the needs of everyday monitoring for healthcare and emergency advice, many HAR systems have been designed [1]. Based on the healthcare purpose, these systems can be implanted into an astronaut’s spacesuit to provide necessary life movement monitoring and healthcare suggestions. Most of these systems use acceleration data-based data record as human activity representation [2,3]. But this data attribute approach has a limitation that makes it impossible to be used as an activity monitoring system for astronavigation. Because an accelerometer senses acceleration by distinguishing acceleration data based on the earth’s gravity offset [4], the accelerometer cannot read …

On The Mandelbrot Set For I**2 = ±1 And Imaginary Higgs Fields, Jonathan Blackledge

Articles

We consider the consequence of breaking with a fundamental result in complex analysisby lettingi2=±1wherei=√−1is the basic unit of all imaginary numbers. An analysis of theMandelbrot set for this case shows that a demarcation between a Fractal and a Euclidean object ispossible based oni2=−1andi2= +1, respectively. Further, we consider the transient behaviourassociated with the two cases to produce a range of non-standard sets in which a Fractal geometricstructure is transformed into a Euclidean object. In the case of the Mandelbrot set, the Euclideanobject is a square whose properties are investigate. Coupled with the associated Julia sets and othercomplex plane mappings, this …

Efficient Hybrid Passive Method For The Detection And Localization Of Copy-Moveand Spliced Images, Navneet Kaur, Neeru Jindal, Kulbir Singh

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Digital passive image forgery methods are extensively used to verify the authenticity and integrity of images.Splicing and copy-move are the most common types of passive digital image forgeries. Several approaches have beenproposed to detect these forgeries separately, but very few approaches are available that can detect them simultaneously.However, a more e?icient method is still in demand to meet the day-to-day challenges to detect these forgeries at thesame time. So, a passive hybrid approach based on discrete fractional cosine transform (DFrCT) and local binarypattern (LBP) is proposed to detect copy-move and splicing forgeries simultaneously. The extra parameter i.e. fractionalparameter of DFrCT …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Metaheuristic based artificial intelligence algorithms are commonly used in the solution of optimization problems. Another area -besides engineering systems- where chaos theory is widely employed is optimization problems. Being applied easily and not trapping in local optima, chaos-based search algorithms have attracted great attention. For example, it has been reported that when random number sequences generated from different chaotic systems are replaced with parameter values in bioinspired and swarm intelligence algorithms, an increase in the performance of metaheuristic algorithms is observed. Many scientific studies on developing hybrid algorithms in which metaheuristic algorithms and chaos theory are used together are already …


Comparative Review Of Disk Type And Unconventional Transverse Flux Machines:Performance Analysis, Erhan Tuncel, Emi̇n Yildiriz Jan 2021

Comparative Review Of Disk Type And Unconventional Transverse Flux Machines:Performance Analysis, Erhan Tuncel, Emi̇n Yildiriz

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Transverse flux machines (TFM) can be designed with high pole numbers, so they are very useful in directdrive systems with high torque density. Although many TFM models have been proposed to date, no detailed classification and comparison has been made before. Conventional TFMs have a high power and torque density, but low power factors and high cogging torques have prevented them from being widely used. However, especially with the new disk type TFMs proposed in recent years and the methods developed, these drawbacks have been reduced. In this paper, the TFMs proposed in recent years have been classified and their …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

We present a bagging ensemble of convolutional networks in combination with the test-time augmentation technique to improve performance on the cross-dataset gender recognition problem. The bagging ensemble combines the predictions from multiple homogeneous models into the ensemble prediction. Augmentation techniques are often used in the learning phase of the CNNs to improve the generalization ability. On the other hand, test-time augmentation is not a common method used in the testing phase of the learned model. We conducted experiments on models trained using different hyperparameters. We augmented the test data and combine the predictive outputs from these network models. Experiments performed …
