Using T-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding For Visualization And Segmentation Of 3d Point Clouds Of Plants, Heli̇n Dutağaci

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this work, the use of t-SNE is proposed to embed 3D point clouds of plants into 2D space for plant characterization. It is demonstrated that t-SNE operates as a practical tool to flatten and visualize a complete 3D plant model in 2D space. The perplexity parameter of t-SNE allows 2D rendering of plant structures at various organizational levels. Aside from the promise of serving as a visualization tool for plant scientists, t-SNE also provides a gateway for processing 3D point clouds of plants using their embedded counterparts in 2D. In this paper, simple methods were proposed to perform semantic …

Direct Pore-Based Identification For Fingerprint Matching Process, Vedat Delican, Behçet Uğur Töreyi̇n, Ege Çeti̇n, Ayli̇n Yalçin Saribey

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Fingerprints are one of the most important scientific proof instruments in solving forensic cases. Identification in fingerprints consists of three levels based on the flow direction of the papillary lines at the first level, the minutiae points at the second level, and the pores at the third level. The inadequacy of existing imaging systems in detecting fingerprints and the lack of pore details at the desired level limit the widespread use of third-level identification. The fact that fingerprints with images based on pores in the unsolved database are not subjected to any evaluation criteria and remain in the database reveals …


Dynamic Deep Neural Network Inference Via Adaptive Channel Skipping, Meixia Zou, Xiuwen Li, Jinzheng Fang, Hong Wen, Weiwei Fang Sep 2023

Dynamic Deep Neural Network Inference Via Adaptive Channel Skipping, Meixia Zou, Xiuwen Li, Jinzheng Fang, Hong Wen, Weiwei Fang

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Deep neural networks have recently made remarkable achievements in computer vision applications. However, the high computational requirements needed to achieve accurate inference results can be a significant barrier to deploying DNNs on resource-constrained computing devices, such as those found in the Internet-of-things. In this work, we propose a fresh approach called adaptive channel skipping (ACS) that prioritizes the identification of the most suitable channels for skipping and implements an efficient skipping mechanism during inference. We begin with the development of a new gating network model, ACS-GN, which employs fine-grained channel-wise skipping to enable input-dependent inference and achieve a desirable balance …


Joint Intent Detection And Slot Filling For Turkish Natural Language Understanding, Osman Büyük Sep 2023

Joint Intent Detection And Slot Filling For Turkish Natural Language Understanding, Osman Büyük

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Intent detection and slot filling are two crucial subtasks of a text-based goal-oriented dialogue system. In a goal-oriented dialogue system, users interact with the system to complete a goal (or to fulfill their intent) and provide the necessary information (slot values) to achieve that goal. Therefore, a user?s text input includes information about the user?s intent and contains required slot values. Recently, joint models that simultaneously detect the intent and extract the slots are proposed to benefit from the interaction between the two tasks. The proposed methods are usually tested using benchmark data sets in English such as ATIS and …

Transforming Temporal-Dynamic Graphs Into Time-Series Data For Solving Event Detection Problems, Kutay Taşci, Fuat Akal Sep 2023

Transforming Temporal-Dynamic Graphs Into Time-Series Data For Solving Event Detection Problems, Kutay Taşci, Fuat Akal

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Event detection on temporal-dynamic graphs aims at detecting significant events based on deviations from the normal behavior of the graphs. With the widespread use of social media, many real-world events manifest as social media interactions, making them suitable for modeling as temporal-dynamic graphs. This paper presents a workflow for event detection on temporal-dynamic graphs using graph representation learning. Our workflow leverages generated embeddings of a temporal-dynamic graph to reframe the problem as an unsupervised time-series anomaly detection task. We evaluated our workflow on four distinct real-world social media datasets and compared our results with the related work. The results show …


Adjunction Greatest Element To Ordered Hypersemigroups, Niovi Kehayopulu Sep 2023

Adjunction Greatest Element To Ordered Hypersemigroups, Niovi Kehayopulu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

As a continuation of the paper "Adjunction Identity to Hypersemigroup" in Turk J Math 2022; 46 (7): 2834--2853, it has been proved here that the adjunction of a greatest element to an ordered hypersemigroup is actually an embedding problem. The concept of pseudoideal has been introduced and has been proved that for each ordered hypersemigroup $S$ an ordered hypersemigroup $V$ having a greatest element ($poe$-hypersemigroup) can be constructed in such a way that there exists a pseudoideal $T$ of $S$ such that $S$ is isomorphic to $T$. If $S$ does not have a greatest element, then this can be regarded …

Higher Topological Complexity Of A Map, Cesar Augusto Ipanaque Zapata, Jesús González Sep 2023

Higher Topological Complexity Of A Map, Cesar Augusto Ipanaque Zapata, Jesús González

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The higher topological complexity of a space $X$, $\text{TC}_r(X)$, $r=2,3,\ldots$, and the topological complexity of a map $f$, $\text{TC}(f)$, have been introduced by Rudyak and Pavesiç, respectively, as natural extensions of Farber's topological complexity of a space. In this paper we introduce a notion of higher topological complexity of a map $f$, $\text{TC}_{r,s}(f)$, for $1\leq s\leq r\geq2$, which simultaneously extends Rudyak's and Pavesiç notions. Our unified concept is relevant in the $r$-multitasking motion planning problem associated to a robot devise when the forward kinematics map plays a role in $s$ prescribed stages of the motion task. We study the homotopy …


Operators Affiliated To Banach Lattice Properties And Their Enveloping Norms, Eduard Emelyanov, Svetlana Gorokhova Sep 2023

Operators Affiliated To Banach Lattice Properties And Their Enveloping Norms, Eduard Emelyanov, Svetlana Gorokhova

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Several recent papers were devoted to various modifications of limited, Grothendieck, and Dunford-Pettis operators, etc., through involving the Banach lattice structure. In the present paper, it is shown that many of these operators appear as operators affiliated to well-known properties of Banach lattices, like the disjoint (dual) Schur property, the disjoint Grothendieck property, the property (d), the sequential w$^\ast$-continuity of the lattice operations, etc. We also introduce new classes of operators such as the s-GPP-operators, s-BDP-operators, and bi-sP-operators. It is proved that the spaces consisting of regular versions of the above-mentioned operators are all the Banach spaces. The domination problem …

Extended Calculus On ${\Cal O}({\Mathbb C}_{H}^{1\Vert1})$, Sali̇h Çeli̇k

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We give an extended calculus over the function algebra on $h$-deformed superplane. For this, we extend the $(h_1,h_2)$-deformed differential calculus on the $h$-deformed superplane by adding inner derivations. We reformulate the results with an $R$-matrix and present the tensor product realization of the wedge product. We also discuss Cartan calculus via a contraction.


Fractional Semilinear Neumann Problem With Critical Nonlinearity, Zhenfeng Jin, Hongrui Sun Sep 2023

Fractional Semilinear Neumann Problem With Critical Nonlinearity, Zhenfeng Jin, Hongrui Sun

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we consider the following critical fractional semilinear Neumann problem \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} (-\Delta)^{1/2}u+\lambda u=u^{\frac{n+1}{n-1}},~u>0\quad&\, \mathrm{in}\ \Omega,\\ \partial_\nu{u}=0 &\mathrm{on}\ \partial\Omega, \end{cases} \end{equation*} where $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n~(n\geq5)$ is a smooth bounded domain, $\lambda>0$ and $\nu$ is the outward unit normal to $\partial\Omega$. We prove that there exists a constant $\lambda_0>0$ such that the above problem admits a minimal energy solution for $\lambda<\lambda_0$. Moreover, if $\Omega$ is convex, we show that this solution is constant for sufficiently small $\lambda$.

In this work, we consider a velocity-vorticity formulation for the $g$-Navier-Stokes equations. The system is constructed by combining the velocity-pressure system which is included by using the rotational formulation of the nonlinearity and the vorticity equation for the $g$ -Navier-Stokes equations. We prove the existence and uniqueness of weak and strong solutions of this system with the periodic boundary conditions.


Liouville-Type Theorem For One-Dimensional Porous Medium Systems With Sources, Anh Tuan Duong Sep 2023

Liouville-Type Theorem For One-Dimensional Porous Medium Systems With Sources, Anh Tuan Duong

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we are concerned with the one-dimensional porous medium system with sources \begin{align*} \begin{cases}u_t-( u^m)_{xx} =a_{11}u^{p}+a_{12} u^rv^{r+m}, (x,t)\in J\times I\subset\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R}\\ v_t-(v^m)_{xx} =a_{21} u^{r+m}v^{r}+a_{22}v^{p},\;(x,t)\in J\times I\subset \mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R}, \end{cases} \end{align*} where $p=2r+m$, $m>1$, $r>0$. Under the conditions $a_{12}\geq 0, a_{21}\geq 0$, $a_{11}>0$, and $a_{22}>0$, we prove that the system does not possess any nontrivial nonnegative weak solution.


On The Monoid Of Partial Isometries Of A Cycle Graph, Vitor H. Fernandes, Tania Paulista Sep 2023

On The Monoid Of Partial Isometries Of A Cycle Graph, Vitor H. Fernandes, Tania Paulista

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper we consider the monoid $DPC_n$ of all partial isometries of an $n$-cycle graph $C_n$. We show that $DPC_n$ is the submonoid of the monoid of all oriented partial permutations on an $n$-chain whose elements are precisely all restrictions of a dihedral group of order $2n$. Our main aim is to exhibit a presentation of $DPC_n$. We also describe Green's relations of $DPC_n$ and calculate its cardinality and rank.

A Short Note On A New Approach To Rayleigh-Bénard-Chandrasekhar Convection In Weakly Electrically Conducting Viscoelastic Liquids, Hati̇ce Muti̇ Sep 2023

A Short Note On A New Approach To Rayleigh-Bénard-Chandrasekhar Convection In Weakly Electrically Conducting Viscoelastic Liquids, Hati̇ce Muti̇

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The onset of magnetoconvection (known as Rayleigh-Bénard-Chandrasekhar convection) in two relaxation time viscoelastic liquids is studied here without seeking explicit recourse to a normal stress formulation as is usually done in these studies. Magnetoconvection refers to the flow of fluid in the presence of both thermal gradients (Rayleigh-Bénard convection) and a magnetic field. When these two effects are combined, they can lead to interesting and complex patterns of fluid motion. Understanding magnetoconvection in viscoelastic liquids is crucial for various industrial and scientific applications. The hyperbolic-type of linear momentum equation is decomposed into two first-order equations in time by cleverly separating …

Identities Involving Special Functions From Hypergeometric Solution Of Algebraic Equations, Juan Luis Gonzalez-Santander

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

From the algebraic solution of $x^{m}-x+t=0$ for $m=2,3,4$ and the corresponding solution in terms of hypergeometric functions, we obtain a set of reduction formulas for hypergeometric functions. By differentiation and integration of these results, and applying other known reduction formulas of hypergeometric functions, we derive new reduction formulas of special functions as well as the calculation of some definite integrals in terms of elementary functions.
