Multiphase Deformation, Fluid Flow And Mineralization In Epithermal Systems: Inferences From Structures, Vein Textures And Breccias Of The Kestanelik Epithermal Au-Ag Deposit, Nw Turkey, Ni̇lay Gülyüz, Zoe Kai̇ Shipton, İlkay Kuşcu

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

We investigate the multiphase deformation, fluid flow, and mineralization processes in epithermal systems by presenting a detailed study of vein textures and breccias of the Kestanelik epithermal Au-Ag deposit, NW Turkey. The mineralization in the deposit is associated with several quartz veins. Fault-hosted veins and mode I veins share many textural and breccia characteristics owing to (i) overprinting of tectonic breccias formed during coseismic rupturing by subsequent coseismic hydrothermal brecciation and (ii) reworking of earlier vein breccia phases by repeated rupturing and hydraulic fracturing events. The spatial distribution of breccias at fault-hosted veins proposes that power of coseismic hydrothermal brecciation …

Lvq Treatment For Zero-Shot Learning, Firat İsmai̇loğlu Jan 2023

Lvq Treatment For Zero-Shot Learning, Firat İsmai̇loğlu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In image classification, there are no labeled training instances for some classes, which are therefore called unseen classes or test classes. To classify these classes, zero-shot learning (ZSL) was developed, which typically attempts to learn a mapping from the (visual) feature space to the semantic space in which the classes are represented by a list of semantically meaningful attributes. However, the fact that this mapping is learned without using instances of the test classes affects the performance of ZSL, which is known as the domain shift problem. In this study, we propose to apply the learning vector quantization (LVQ) algorithm …
