(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021) Kolukisa, Burak; Dedeturk, Bilge Kagan; Dedeturk, Beyhan Adanur; Gulsen, Abdulkadir; Bakal, Gokhan
The document classification task is one of the widely studied research fields on multiple domains. The core motivation of the classification task is that the manual classification efforts are impractical due to the exponentially growing document volumes. Thus, we densely need to exploit automated computational approaches, such as machine learning models along with data & text mining techniques. In this study, we concentrated on the classification of medical articles specifically on common cancer types, due to the significance of the field and the decent number of available documents of interest. We deliberately targeted MEDLINE articles about common cancer types because most cancer types share a similar literature composition. Therefore, this situation makes the classification effort relatively more complicated. To this end, we built multiple machine learning models, including both traditional and deep learning architectures. We achieved the best performance (R¿82% F score) by the LSTM model. Overall, our results demonstrate a strong effect of exploiting both text mining and machine learning methods to distinguish medical articles on common cancer types. © 2022 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

Defect Classification of Composite Materials Using Transfer Learning Methods
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Gulsen, Abdulkadir; Kolukisa, Burak; Ozdemir, Ahmet Turan; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu; Gungor, Vehbi Cagri
Nowadays, composite materials have become prevalent across various sectors, particularly finding usage in large-scale applications such as spaceships, automobiles, and aircrafts. The accurate detection of the defects in these materials is crucial, yet traditional methods often rely on human inspection, which is susceptible to errors. Recent advancements in machine learning have enabled defect detection using ultrasonic non-destructive testing methods. This paper introduces a new dataset named UNDT, which is obtained from the scans of 60 different composite materials, generating a total of 1150 images depicting both defective and non-defective areas. Several transfer learning methods are applied on the newly introduced UNDT dataset as well as the publicly available USimgAIST ultrasonic dataset. Comparative performance assessments illustrate the significance of utilising the transfer learning approach for defect classification on ultrasonic inspection images. Furthermore, the research emphasises the substantial benefits of employing these transfer learning methods. Notably, the DenseNet121 and VGG19 models achieve the highest accuracy rates, with 98.8% and 98.6% on the UNDT and USimgAIST datasets, respectively.

Ensemble Feature Selection for Clustering Damage Modes in Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Sandwich Composites Using Acoustic Emission
(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2024) Gulsen, Abdulkadir; Kolukisa, Burak; Caliskan, Umut; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu; Gungor, Vehbi Cagri
Acoustic emission (AE) serves as a noninvasive technique for real-time structural health monitoring, capturing the stress waves produced by the formation and growth of cracks within a material. This study presents a novel ensemble feature selection methodology to rank features highly relevant with damage modes in AE signals gathered from edgewise compression tests on honeycomb-core carbon fiber-reinforced polymer. Two distinct features, amplitude and peak frequency, are selected for labeling the AE signals. An ensemble-supervised feature selection method ranks feature importance according to these labels. Using the ranking list, unsupervised clustering models are then applied to identify damage modes. The comparative results reveal a robust correlation between the damage modes and the features of counts and energy when amplitude is selected. Similarly, when peak frequency is chosen, a significant association is observed between the damage modes and the features of partial powers 1 and 2. These findings demonstrate that, in addition to the commonly used features, other features, such as partial powers, exhibit a correlation with damage modes. This article presents a novel ensemble feature selection methodology to rank features relevant to damage modes on acoustic emission signals in carbon fiber-reinforced polymer sandwich composites. Subsequently, ranked features are utilized in unsupervised clustering models to identify damage modes. The comparative results demonstrate that, along with common features, other features, like partial powers, have a robust correlation with damage modes.image (c) 2024 WILEY-VCH GmbH

A Federated Learning Framework for Classifying the Images in Ultrasonic Nondestructive Testing
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Gulsen, Abdulkadir; Hacilar, Hilal; Kolukisa, Burak; Bakir-Güngör, Burcu
Ultrasonic inspection is a critical technique in non-destructive testing that ensures the safety and integrity of the material by detecting internal defects. Defect classification within this context is vital for preventing failures and extending the lifespan of materials. However, the advancement of ultrasonic testing technology is hindered by a scarcity of publicly available, realistic datasets, which are essential for developing accurate models. To address these challenges, this paper introduces a Federated Learning (FL) framework employing a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model for defect classification using ultrasonic inspection images. This innovative approach allows for the decentralized training of models on private datasets without the need for data exchange, thus preserving data privacy. Our comparative analysis demonstrates that the FL achieves performance comparable to traditional methods while maintaining the confidentiality of sensitive information. The framework also proves to be robust and scalable with an increase in the number of participating clients. This pioneering study highlights the potential of FL in transforming ultrasonic defect classification and suggests possibilities for its application in other areas of non-destructive testing where publicly available datasets are scarce. These findings would encourage researchers to develop a federated platform for enhanced collaboration and explore advanced CNN architectures to improve training efficiency. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

Investigating Strain Rate Effects on Damage Mechanisms in Hybrid Laminated Composites Using Acoustic Emission
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025) Gulsen, Abdulkadir; Kolukisa, Burak; Etcil, Mustafa; Caliskan, Umut; Zafar, Hafiz Muhammad Numan; Demirbas, Munise Didem; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu
Hybrid composites, which combine distinct fiber types such as carbon, basalt, and aramid, provide a synergistic balance of strength, stiffness, impact resistance, and energy dissipation, making them appealing for critical applications in aerospace, automotive, and other high-performance industries. Monitoring damage progression in these composites is vital for ensuring structural integrity and preventing catastrophic failures. Acoustic emission (AE) serves as a powerful, noninvasive technique for real-time structural health monitoring, capturing the transient stress waves generated when damage events occur. This study utilizes AE to examine the influence of strain rate on damage modes in carbon/basalt/aramid hybrid composites under three-point bending. An unsupervised feature selection based on Laplacian scores is employed to identify the most relevant AE features with damage modes, while SHapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) are used to evaluate the correlation between AE features and strain rates. The correlation analysis results indicate that peak frequency (PF) serves as a key indicator, demonstrating significant shifts at higher strain rates. Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) clustering is used to analyze hybrid composites by examining clustered AE signals based on selected features identified through Laplacian scores, with Silhouette scores employed to determine the optimal number of clusters. This study highlights the role of AE in understanding fiber interactions and damage evolution, offering valuable insights into the mechanical performance and optimization of carbon/basalt/aramid hybrid composite structures.

Early diagnosis and referral are crucial in the treatment of voice disorders. Contemporary investigations have indicated the efficacy of voice pathology detection systems in significantly contributing to the evaluation of voice disorders, facilitating early diagnosis of such pathologies. These systems leverage machine learning methodologies, widely applied across diverse domains, and exhibit particular potential in the realm of voice pathology classification. However, machine learning models and performance metrics employed in these studies vary significantly, making it challenging to determine the optimal model for voice pathology classification. In this study, healthy and pathological voices were classified with state-of-the-art machine learning models, and the performance results of the models were compared. The voice samples employed in our research were sourced from the Saarbrücken Voice Database, a reputable German database. Feature extraction from voice signals was conducted using the Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients method. To assess and enhance the models’ performance adequately, we employed hyperparameter optimization and implemented a 10-fold cross-validation approach. The outcomes revealed that the support vector machine model exhibited the highest accuracy, achieving 99.19% and 99.50% accuracies in the classification of male and female voice pathologies, respectively. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
