Multitask-Based Association Rule Mining, Peli̇n Yildirim Taşer, Kökten Ulaş Bi̇rant, Derya Bi̇rant Jan 2020

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 …


A Fast Text Similarity Measure For Large Document Collections Using Multireference Cosine And Genetic Algorithm, Hamid Mohammadi, Seyed Hossein Khasteh Jan 2020

A Fast Text Similarity Measure For Large Document Collections Using Multireference Cosine And Genetic Algorithm, Hamid Mohammadi, Seyed Hossein Khasteh

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

One of the critical factors that make a search engine fast and accurate is a concise and duplicate free index. In order to remove duplicate and near-duplicate (DND) documents from the index, a search engine needs a swift and reliable DND text document detection system. Traditional approaches to this problem, such as brute force comparisons or simple hash-based algorithms, are not suitable as they are not scalable and are not capable of detecting near-duplicate documents effectively. In this paper, a new signature-based approach to text similarity detection is introduced, which is fast, scalable, and reliable and needs less storage space. …

To further improve the transient and steady-state performance of automotive electronic throttle position tracking, in this paper an adaptive prescribed performance servo control strategy is designed and applied to a real electronic throttle control system. In view of the possible high gain of the prescribed performance controller in practice, the actuator constraint is also considered in the controller design. 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 …

Eroded masses and fundamental and harmonic components of the leakage currents were …


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 …

Deep Temporal Motion Descriptor (Dtmd) For Human Action Recognition, Nudrat Nida, Muhammad Haroon Yousaf, Aun Irtaza, Sergio A. Velastin

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Spatiotemporal features have significant importance in human action recognition, as they provide the actor's shape and motion characteristics specific to each action class. This paper presents a new deep spatiotemporal human action representation, the deep temporal motion descriptor (DTMD), which shares the attributes of holistic and deep learned features. To generate the DTMD descriptor, the actor?s silhouettes are gathered into single motion templates by applying motion history images. These motion templates capture the spatiotemporal movements of the actor and compactly represent the human actions using a single 2D template.

Implicit Relation-Based Question Answering To Answer Simple Questions Overdbpedia, Maryam Jamehshourani, Afsaneh Fatemi, Mohammadali Nematbakhsh

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

RDF-based question answering systems give users the capability of natural language querying over RDF data. In order to respond to natural language questions, it is necessary that the main concept of the question be interpreted correctly, and then it is mapped to RDF data. A natural language question includes entities, classes, and implicit and explicit relationships. In this article, by focusing on identification and mapping of implicit relationships in the question (in addition to the explicit relationships), the mapping step has been improved.

Traditional fault identification algorithms applied to catenary dropper suffer from various problems due to its small contact area. These problems include misidentification and lower recognition rate of the faulty dropper. Compared with the traditional convolutional neural network, the vector is utilized as the input of the capsule network (CapsNet) for the first time, which can well retain the feature information such as the direction and angle of the target, and is more suitable for identifying the dropper under complex background. Therefore, this paper proposes a dropper fault identification algorithm based on improved capsule network. The convolutional layer of traditional 9×9 …

A Fabrication-Oriented Remeshing Method For Auxetic Pattern Extraction, Levend Mehmet Mert, Ulaş Yaman, Yusuf Sahi̇lli̇oğlu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

We propose a method for extracting auxetic patterns from meshes for fabrication by modifying the existing mesh primitives directly and fully automatically. This direct approach is novel in the sense that most of the fabricationoriented surface tiling methods introduce additional primitives, such as curve networks in an interactive semiautomatic framework. Our method is based on a remeshing procedure that converts a given quad mesh with arbitrary topology into our desired structure that is ready to be fabricated. The main advantages of establishing auxetic patterns on meshes are the achieved flexibility using cheap inflexible materials as well as less material usage …
