Multitask-Based Association Rule Mining, Peli̇n Yildirim Taşer, Kökten Ulaş Bi̇rant, Derya Bi̇rant

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Recently, there has been a growing interest in association rule mining (ARM) in various fields. However, standard ARM algorithms fail to discover rules for multitask problems as they do not consider task-oriented investigation and, therefore, they ignore the correlation among the tasks. Considering this situation, this paper proposes a novel algorithm, named multitask association rule miner (MTARM), that tends to jointly discover rules by considering multiple tasks. This paper also introduces two novel concepts: single-task rule and multiple-task rule. In the first phase of the proposed approach, highly frequent local rules (single-task rules) are explored for each task separately and …

The designed servo controller can ensure the transient and steady-state responses of tracking error are limited in the range prescribed by the performance function, and converge with the prescribed convergence rate and have no overshoot. The incorporated adaptive updating law can …


Estimating Spatiotemporal Focus Of Documents Using Entropy With Pmi, Damla Yaşar, Selma Teki̇r Jan 2020

Estimating Spatiotemporal Focus Of Documents Using Entropy With Pmi, Damla Yaşar, Selma Teki̇r

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Many text documents are spatiotemporal in nature, i.e. contents of a document can be mapped to a specific time period or location. For example, a news article about the French Revolution can be mapped to year 1789 as time and France as place. Identifying this time period and location associated with the document can be useful for various downstream applications such as document reasoning or spatiotemporal information retrieval. In this paper, temporal entropy with pointwise mutual information (PMI) is proposed to estimate the temporal focus of a document. PMI is used to measure the association of words with time expressions. …

Lattice-Reduction Aided Multiple-Symbol Differential Detection In Two-Way Relay Transmission, Chanfei Wang, Minghua Cao Jan 2020

Lattice-Reduction Aided Multiple-Symbol Differential Detection In Two-Way Relay Transmission, Chanfei Wang, Minghua Cao

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Multiple-symbol differential detection (MSDD) algorithms are proposed in two-way relay transmission (TWRT). Firstly, generalized likelihood ratio test based MSDD (GLRT-MSDD) is proposed in TWRT. Unfortunately, as the number of observation windows increases, the computational complexity of GLRT-MSDD increases exponentially. Hence, this detection in TWRT constitutes a challenging problem. Moreover, we find a way to reformulate the GLRTMSDD model and additionally propose a lattice-reduction aided MSDD (LR-MSDD) model. Performance analysis and simulations show that the proposed LR-MSDD provides bit-error rate performance close to that of GLRT-MSDD with lower complexity in TWRT.

A Fully Batteryless Multiinput Single Inductor Single Output Energy Harvesting Architecture, Ridvan Umaz Jan 2020

A Fully Batteryless Multiinput Single Inductor Single Output Energy Harvesting Architecture, Ridvan Umaz

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Conventional energy architectures that utilize multiple ambient energy sources are initiated either by an external power supply or through the addition of an extra power source (e.g., battery) to the architecture. However, these interventions compromise the goal of a self-sustainable energy harvesting system. Moreover, conventional architectures are not effective in situations where space is limited (e.g., an artificial heart) or when access to this space is difficult (e.g., human implantable devices), due to their large battery size. Thus, conventional energy combiner circuits that use multiple energy sources are not well suited for supplying power to most applications. This paper presents …

An Arbitrary Waveform Magnetic Nanoparticle Relaxometer With An Asymmetricalthree-Section Gradiometric Receive Coil, Can Bariş Top

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have a wide range of clinical applications for imaging, therapy, and biosensing. Superparamagnetic MNPs can be directly visualized with high spatiotemporal resolution using the magnetic particle imaging (MPI) modality. The image resolution of MPI depends on the relaxation properties of the MNPs. Therefore, characterization of MNP response under alternating magnetic field excitation is necessary to predict MPI imaging performance and develop optimized MNPs. Biosensing applications also make use of the change in the relaxation response of MNPs after binding to a target agent. As MNP relaxation properties change with temperature and viscosity, noninvasive probing of these microenvironmental …


On Efficient Computation Of Equilibrium Under Social Coalition Structures, Buğra Çaşkurlu, Özgün Eki̇ci̇, Fati̇h Erdem Kizilkaya Jan 2020

On Efficient Computation Of Equilibrium Under Social Coalition Structures, Buğra Çaşkurlu, Özgün Eki̇ci̇, Fati̇h Erdem Kizilkaya

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In game-theoretic settings the key notion of analysis is an equilibrium, which is a profile of agent strategies such that no viable coalition of agents can improve upon their coalitional welfare by jointly changing their strategies. A Nash equilibrium, where viable coalitions are only singletons, and a super strong equilibrium, where every coalition is deemed viable, are two extreme scenarios in regard to coalition formation. A recent trend in the literature is to consider equilibrium notions that allow for coalition formation in between these two extremes and which are suitable to model social coalition structures that arise in various real-life …


Deep Reinforcement Learning For Acceptance Strategy In Bilateral Negotiations, Yousef Razeghi, Celal Ozan Berk Yavuz, Reyhan Aydoğan Jan 2020

Deep Reinforcement Learning For Acceptance Strategy In Bilateral Negotiations, Yousef Razeghi, Celal Ozan Berk Yavuz, Reyhan Aydoğan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper introduces an acceptance strategy based on reinforcement learning for automated bilateral negotiation, where negotiating agents bargain on multiple issues in a variety of negotiation scenarios. Several acceptance strategies based on predefined rules have been introduced in the automated negotiation literature. Those rules mostly rely on some heuristics, which take time and/or utility into account. For some negotiation settings, an acceptance strategy solely based on a negotiation deadline might perform well; however, it might fail in another setting. Instead of following predefined acceptance rules, this paper presents an acceptance strategy that aims to learn whether to accept its opponent's …

Wavelength Sensitivity Of Indium Tin Oxide On Surface Plasmon Resonance Angles, Antonio Ruiz, Carlos Villa Angulo, Ivan Olaf Hernandez-Fuentes

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a charge-density oscillation that occurs when a beam of p-polarized monochromatic light impinges with a greater angle than the critical angle in a dielectric-metal interface. Because of the high losses related to metals, the generated surface plasmon waves propagate with high attenuation in the visible and near-infrared spectral regions in most of the dielectric-metal interfaces. An alternative to reduce such losses is to use a transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) film. In this paper, we compared theoretical calculations and experimental measurements of the SPR angle $\theta_{SPR}$ on the interfaces of a borosilicate prism (Bp) and …

Therefore, V2V channel modeling based on real measurements is still crucial to get the channel parameters for the various road environments. One of the most extracted parameters from measurements is path loss exponent and selecting a fixed reference distance value in obtaining this parameter may also cause remarkable fitting errors. Thus, in this study, least square method-based approach for the best-fitted path loss exponent calculation was proposed by determining the optimum reference distance value from the V2V channel measurements. First, V2V channel …
