Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Soil water content (SWC) performs an important role in many areas including agriculture, drought cases, usage of water resources, hydrology, crop diseases and aerology. However, the measurement of the SWC over large terrains with standard computational techniques is very hard. In order to overcome this situation, remote sensing tools are preferred, which can produce much more successful results in less time than standard calculation techniques. Among all remote sensing tools, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has a significant impact on determining SWC over large terrains. The main objective of this study is to predict SWC on a yearly basis over the …

Combined Feature Compression Encoding In Image Retrieval, Lu Huo, Leijie Zhang
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Recently, features extracted by convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are popularly used for image retrieval. In CNN representation, high-level features are usually chosen to represent the images in coarse-grained datasets, while mid-level features are successfully applied to describe the images for fine-grained datasets. In this paper, we combine these different levels of features as a joint feature to propose a robust representation that is suitable for both coarse-grained and fine-grained image retrieval datasets. In addition, in order to solve the problem that the efficiency of image retrieval is influenced by the dimensionality of indexing, a unified subspace learning model named spectral …

Feature Selection Algorithm For No-Reference Image Quality Assessment Using Natural Scene Statistics, Imran Fareed Nizami, Muhammad Majid, Khawar Khurshid
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Images play an essential part in our daily lives and the performance of various imaging applications is dependent on the user?s quality of experience. No-reference image quality assessment (NR-IQA) has gained importance to assess the perceived quality, without using any prior information of the nondistorted version of the image. Different NR-IQA techniques that utilize natural scene statistics classify the distortion type based on groups of features and then these features are used for estimating the image quality score. However, every type of distortion has a different impact on certain sets of features. In this paper, a new feature selection algorithm …

An Online Approach For Feature Selection For Classification In Big Data, Nasrin Banu Nazar, Radha Senthilkumar
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Feature selection (FS), also known as attribute selection, is a process of selection of a subset of relevant features used in model construction. This process or method improves the classification accuracy by removing irrelevant and noisy features. FS is implemented using either batch learning or online learning. Currently, the FS methods are executed in batch learning. Nevertheless, these techniques take longer execution time and require larger storage space to process the entire dataset. Due to the lack of scalability, the batch learning process cannot be used for large data. In the present study, a scalable efficient Online Feature Selection (OFS) …

Feature selection is the method of reducing the size of data without degrading their accuracy. In this study, we propose a novel feature selection approach, based on extreme learning machines (ELMs) and the coefficient of variation (CV). In the proposed approach, the most relevant features are identified by ranking each feature with the coefficient obtained through ELM divided by CV. The achieved accuracies and computational costs, obtained with the use of features selected via the proposed approach in 9 classification and 26 regression benchmark data sets, were compared to those obtained with all features, as well as those obtained with …

This paper presents an exploration and evaluation of a diverse set of features that influence word-sense disambiguation (WSD) performance. WSD has the potential to improve many natural language processing (NLP) tasks as being one of the most crucial steps in the area. It is known that exploiting effective features and removing redundant ones help improving the results. There are two groups of feature sets to disambiguate senses and select the most appropriate ones among a set of candidates: collocational and bag-of-words (BoW) features. We introduce the effects of using these two feature sets on the Turkish Lexical Sample Dataset (TLSD), …

Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) have become a necessary component of computers and information security framework. IDSs commonly deal with a large amount of data traffic and these data may contain redundant and unimportant features. Choosing the best quality of features that represent all of the data and exclude the redundant features is a crucial topic in IDSs. In this paper, a new combination approach based on the ID3 algorithm and the bees algorithm (BA) is proposed to select the optimal subset of features for an IDS. The BA is used to generate a subset of features, and the ID3 algorithm …

Feature Selection On Single-Lead Ecg For Obstructive Sleep Apnea Diagnosis, Hüseyi̇n Gürüler, Mesut Şahi̇n, Abdullah Feri̇koğlu
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Many articles that appeared in the literature agreed upon the feasibility of diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with a single-lead electrocardiogram. Although high accuracies have been achieved in detection of apneic episodes and classification into apnea/hypopnea, there has not been a consensus on the best method of selecting the feature parameters. This study presents a classification scheme for OSA using common features belonging to the time domain, frequency domain, and nonlinear calculations of heart rate variability analysis, and then proposes a method of feature selection based on correlation matrices (CMs). The results show that the CMs can be utilized in …

Hybrid Feature Selection For Text Classification, Serkan Günal
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Feature selection is vital in the field of pattern classification due to accuracy and processing time considerations. The selection of proper features is of greater importance when the initial feature set is considerably large. Text classification is a typical example of this situation, where the size of the initial feature set may reach to hundreds or even thousands. There are numerous research studies in the literature offering different feature selection strategies for text classification, mostly focused on filters. In spite of the extensive number of these studies, there is no significant work investigating the efficacy of a combination of features, …

A Logic Method For Efficient Reduction Of The Space Complexity Of The Attribute Reduction Problem, Mehmet Hacibeyoğlu, Fati̇h Başçi̇ftçi̇, Şi̇rzat Kahramanli
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The goal of attribute reduction is to find a minimal subset (MS) R of the condition attribute set C of a dataset such that R has the same classification power as C. It was proved that the number of MSs for a dataset with n attributes may be as large as (_{n/2}^n) and the generation of all of them is an NP-hard problem. The main reason for this is the intractable space complexity of the conversion of the discernibility function (DF) of a dataset to the disjunctive normal form (DNF). Our analysis of many DF-to-DNF conversion processes showed that approximately …
