An Urgent Precaution System To Detect Students At Risk Of Substance Abuse Through Classification Algorithms, Faruk Bulut, İhsan Ömür Bucak Jan 2014

An Urgent Precaution System To Detect Students At Risk Of Substance Abuse Through Classification Algorithms, Faruk Bulut, İhsan Ömür Bucak

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In recent years, the use of addictive drugs and substances has turned out to be a challenging social problem worldwide. The illicit use of these types of drugs and substances appears to be increasing among elementary and high school students. After becoming addicted to drugs, life becomes unbearable and gets even worse for their users. Scientific studies show that it becomes extremely difficult for an individual to break this habit after being a user. Hence, preventing teenagers from addiction becomes an important issue. This study focuses on an urgent precaution system that helps families and educators prevent teenagers from developing …


An Automated Prognosis System For Estrogen Hormone Status Assessment In Breast Cancer Tissue Samples, Fati̇h Sarikoç, Adem Kalinli, Hülya Akgün, Fi̇gen Öztürk Jan 2013

An Automated Prognosis System For Estrogen Hormone Status Assessment In Breast Cancer Tissue Samples, Fati̇h Sarikoç, Adem Kalinli, Hülya Akgün, Fi̇gen Öztürk

Estrogen receptor (ER) status evaluation is a widely applied method in the prognosis of breast cancer. However, testing for the existence of the ER biomarker in a patient's tumor sample mainly depends on the subjective decisions of the doctors. The aim of this paper is to introduce the usage of a machine learning tool, functional trees (FTs), to attain an ER prognosis of the disease via an objective decision model. For this aim, 27 image files, each of which came from a biopsy sample of an invasive ductal carcinoma patient, were scanned and captured by a light microscope. From these …


Anticipating The Friction Coefficient Of Friction Materials Used In Automobiles By Means Of Machine Learning Without Using A Test Instrument, Mustafa Ti̇mur, Fati̇h Aydin Jan 2013

Anticipating The Friction Coefficient Of Friction Materials Used In Automobiles By Means Of Machine Learning Without Using A Test Instrument, Mustafa Ti̇mur, Fati̇h Aydin

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The most important factor for designs in which friction materials are used is the coefficient of friction. The coefficient of friction has been determined taking such variants as velocity, temperature, and pressure into account, which arise from various factors in friction materials, and by analyzing the effects of these variants on friction materials. Many test instruments have been produced in order to determine the coefficient of friction. In this article, a study about the use of machine learning algorithms instead of test instruments in order to determine the coefficient of friction is presented. Isotonic regression was selected as the machine …
