Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7The Determination of Distinctive Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Sets for the Diagnosis of Behcet's Disease(IEEE Computer Soc, 2022-05-01) Isik, Yunus Emre; Gormez, Yasin; Aydin, Zafer; Bakir-Gungor, BurcuBehcet's Disease (BD) is a multi-system inflammatory disorder in which the etiology remains unclear. The most probable hypothesis is that genetic tendency and environmental factors play roles in the development of BD. In order to find the essential reasons, genetic changes on thousands of genes should be analyzed. Besides, there is a need for extra analysis to find out which genetic factor affects the disease. Machine learning approaches have high potential for extracting the knowledge from genomics and selecting the representative Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) as the most effective features for the clinical diagnosis process. In this study, we have attempted to identify representative SNPs using feature selection methods, incorporating biological information and aimed to develop a machine-learning model for diagnosing Behcet's disease. By combining biological information and machine learning classifiers, up to 99.64 percent accuracy of disease prediction is achieved using only 13,611 out of 311,459 SNPs. In addition, we revealed the SNPs that are most distinctive by performing repeated feature selection in cross-validation experiments.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 20IGPRED: Combination of Convolutional Neural and Graph Convolutional Networks for Protein Secondary Structure Prediction(Wiley, 2021-05-25) Gormez, Yasin; Sabzekar, Mostafa; Aydin, ZaferThere is a close relationship between the tertiary structure and the function of a protein. One of the important steps to determine the tertiary structure is protein secondary structure prediction (PSSP). For this reason, predicting secondary structure with higher accuracy will give valuable information about the tertiary structure. Recently, deep learning techniques have obtained promising improvements in several machine learning applications including PSSP. In this article, a novel deep learning model, based on convolutional neural network and graph convolutional network is proposed. PSIBLAST PSSM, HHMAKE PSSM, physico-chemical properties of amino acids are combined with structural profiles to generate a rich feature set. Furthermore, the hyper-parameters of the proposed network are optimized using Bayesian optimization. The proposed model IGPRED obtained 89.19%, 86.34%, 87.87%, 85.76%, and 86.54% Q3 accuracies for CullPDB, EVAset, CASP10, CASP11, and CASP12 datasets, respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 6IGPRED-Multitask: A Deep Learning Model to Predict Protein Secondary Structure, Torsion Angles and Solvent Accessibility(IEEE Computer Soc, 2023-03-01) Gormez, Yasin; Aydin, ZaferProtein secondary structure, solvent accessibility and torsion angle predictions are preliminary steps to predict 3D structure of a protein. Deep learning approaches have achieved significant improvements in predicting various features of protein structure. In this study, IGPRED-Multitask, a deep learning model with multi task learning architecture based on deep inception network, graph convolutional network and a bidirectional long short-term memory is proposed. Moreover, hyper-parameters of the model are fine-tuned using Bayesian optimization, which is faster and more effective than grid search. The same benchmark test data sets as in the OPUS-TASS paper including TEST2016, TEST2018, CASP12, CASP13, CASPFM, HARD68, CAMEO93, CAMEO93_HARD, as well as the train and validation sets, are used for fair comparison with the literature. Statistically significant improvements are observed in secondary structure prediction on 4 datasets, in phi angle prediction on 2 datasets and in psi angel prediction on 3 datasets compared to the state-of-the-art methods. For solvent accessibility prediction, TEST2016 and TEST2018 datasets are used only to assess the performance of the proposed model.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 4Deep-Learning AI-Model for Predicting Dental Plaque in the Young Permanent Teeth of Children Aged 8-13 Years(MDPI, 2025-04-07) Tez, Banu Cicek; Guzel, Yasin; Eliacik, Bahar Basak Kiziltan; Aydin, Zafer; Kızıltan Eliaçık, Bahar BaşakBackground/Objectives: Dental plaque is a significant contributor to various prevalent oral health conditions, including caries, gingivitis, and periodontitis. Consequently, its detection and management are of paramount importance for maintaining oral health. Manual plaque assessment is time-consuming, error-prone, and particularly challenging in uncooperative pediatric patients. These limitations have encouraged researchers to seek faster, more reliable methods. Accordingly, this study aims to develop a deep learning model for detecting and segmenting plaque in young permanent teeth and to evaluate its diagnostic precision. Methods: The dataset comprises 506 dental images from 31 patients aged between 8 and 13 years. Six state-of-the-art models were trained and evaluated using this dataset. The U-Net Transformer model, which yielded the best performance, was further compared against three experienced pediatric dentists for clinical feasibility using 35 randomly selected images from the test set. The clinical trial was registered on under the ID NCT06603233 (1 June 2023). Results: The Intersection over Union (IoU) score of the U-Net Transformer on the test set was measured as 0.7845, and the p-values obtained from the three t-tests conducted for comparison with dentists were found to be below 0.05. Compared with three experienced pediatric dentists, the deep learning model exhibited clinically superior performance in the detection and segmentation of dental plaque in young permanent teeth. Conclusions: This finding highlights the potential of AI-driven technologies in enhancing the accuracy and reliability of dental plaque detection and segmentation in pediatric dentistry.
