Privacy Preserving In Association Rules Using A Genetic Algorithm, Rahat Ali Shah, Sohail Asghar

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Association rule mining is one of the data mining techniques used to extract hidden knowledge from large datasets. This hidden knowledge contains useful and confidential information that users want to keep private from the public. Similarly, privacy preserving data mining techniques are used to preserve such confidential information or restrictive patterns from unauthorized access. The pattern can be represented in the form of a frequent itemset or association rule. Furthermore, a rule or pattern is marked as sensitive if its disclosure risk is above a given threshold. Numerous techniques have been used to hide sensitive association rules by performing some …


A New Method For Extraction Of Speech Features Using Spectral Delta Characteristics And Invariant Integration, Hassan Farsi, Samana Kuhimoghadam Jan 2014

A New Method For Extraction Of Speech Features Using Spectral Delta Characteristics And Invariant Integration, Hassan Farsi, Samana Kuhimoghadam

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

We propose a new feature extraction algorithm that is robust against noise. Nonlinear filtering and temporal masking are used for the proposed algorithm. Since the current automatic speech recognition systems use invariant-integration and delta-delta techniques for speech feature extraction, the proposed algorithm improves speech recognition accuracy appropriately using a delta-spectral feature instead of invariant integration. One of the nonenvironmental factors that reduce recognition accuracy is the vocal tract length (VTL), leading to a mismatch between the training and testing data. We can use the invariant-integration feature idea for decreasing the VTL effects. The aim of this paper is to provide …

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 …

Perceptual Quality Evaluation Of Asymmetric Stereo Video Coding For Efficient 3d Rate Scaling, Nükhet Özbek, Gi̇zem Ertan, Oktay Karakuş Jan 2014

Perceptual Quality Evaluation Of Asymmetric Stereo Video Coding For Efficient 3d Rate Scaling, Nükhet Özbek, Gi̇zem Ertan, Oktay Karakuş

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In 3D perception, the binocular suppression of the human vision, perceiving high quality 3D video in the case of a view in higher quality, can be exploited in asymmetric stereo video coding for efficient 3D rate scaling. Hence, the best stereo rate-visual distortion performance may be gained by asymmetric coding, which is the reduction of the spatial and/or quantization resolution of the low-quality view, while keeping the high-quality view in full resolution. However, how to determine the level of asymmetry and what type of scaling should be chosen are still in question. In this work, we try to assess the …

An evolutionary algorithm known as the shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA) is proposed in this paper to solve the OPF dispatch in an AC--DC power system (including both high-voltage alternating current and HVDC transmission lines). The implementation of the AC--DC OPF with these kinds of methods …

A Low-Order Nonlinear Amplifier Model With Distributed Delay Terms, Ahmet Hayretti̇n Yüzer, Şi̇mşek Demi̇r Jan 2014

A Low-Order Nonlinear Amplifier Model With Distributed Delay Terms, Ahmet Hayretti̇n Yüzer, Şi̇mşek Demi̇r

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a novel behavioral modeling technique for the characterization of memory effects of amplifiers is proposed. This characterization utilizes asymmetric intermodulation distortion (IMD) components, which are the result of a 2-tone excitation of a nonlinear amplifier. These asymmetric IMD components are represented basically by a power series, where each term in the series has its own time delay term. These time delay terms successfully justify the presence of asymmetry in the intermodulation components, which leads to the prediction of amplitude-to-amplitude and amplitude-to-phase distortions. The parameters of the model are extracted using 2-tone measurements. A 100-W peak power amplifier …

Most of the reference current generation methods are very complicated and require precise mathematical expressions. Moreover, being the most preferred current control method, conventional hysteresis controllers have a fixed bandwidth, which causes different total demand distortion values under different load conditions. In this study, a novel control scheme for a single-phase shunt APF …
