Matching Points Of Interest With User Context: An Ann Approach, Özgün Yilmaz
Matching Points Of Interest With User Context: An Ann Approach, Özgün Yilmaz
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, the design and development of an artificial neural network (ANN) for similarity value calculation in a context-aware system is proposed. This neural network is used by the neural agent of the iConAwa system. Since iConAwa is an intelligent, context-aware, multiagent system, it provides mobile users with context-aware information and services, and also provides communication with each other. Context and points of interest are modeled in a flexible and extensible way by using ontologies. iConAwa derives high-level implicit context from low-level explicit context by inference performed over the context ontology. This approach decouples context reasoning from the source …

Ann-Based Shepwm Using A Harmony Search On A New Multilevel Inverter Topology, Fayçal Chabni, Rachid Taleb, M'Hamed Helaimi
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This article presents the application of the harmony search (HS) optimization algorithm for selective harmonic elimination PWM (SHEPWM) in a new topology of multilevel inverters with reduced number of electronic switching elements. The main objective of the harmonic elimination strategy is eliminating undesired low-rank harmonics in order to improve the quality of the output waveform. The harmonic elimination strategy is achieved by solving a system of nonlinear equations. In this paper harmony search optimization is applied using artificial neural networks (ANNs) on a new 21-level inverter topology. The algorithm is based on a music improvisation process. MATLAB programming software is …

Generalized Referenceless Image Quality Assessment Framework Using Texture Energy Measures And Pattern Strength Features, Jayashri Bagade, Kulbir Singh, Yogesh Dandawate
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Referenceless image quality assessment is a challenging and critical problem in today's multimedia applica\-tions. Texture patterns in images are normally at high frequencies compared to lower ones. Due to the effect of distortions during acquisition, compression, and transmission, texture deviation artifacts are generated that cause a granular effect in the image. Other artifacts, such as blocking, affect high frequencies in an image, causing distorted edges. Combining the analysis of texture deviation and other artifacts helps in determining the quality of an image. The proposed approach uses variation in the energy of pixels to quantify the quality of an image. These …
