Article Supervised Learning-Driven Dead Band Control of Occupant Thermostats for Energy-Efficient Residential HVAC(Elsevier, 2026-03) Savasci, Alper; Ceylan, Oguzhan; Paudyal, SumitHeating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems play a crucial role in demand-side management (DSM) by shaping residential electricity consumption and enabling flexible, grid-responsive operation. Thermostats in HVAC systems regulate indoor temperature as part of a closed-loop control framework, typically incorporating a fixed temperature dead band-a range around the setpoint where no action is taken-to reduce energy use and prevent frequent cycling of the HVAC system. Although essential for efficiency and equipment longevity, fixed dead bands limit adaptability, as dynamically adjusting them under varying environmental conditions remains challenging for occupants. To address this limitation, we propose a machine learning (ML)-based dead band tuning framework that optimally adjusts thermostat settings in real time. The method integrates conventional optimization with data-driven modeling: a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model is first used to gen erate optimal dead band values under measured outdoor temperature records (diverse seasonal weather scenarios) which are then employed to train the ML-based predictor to learn a real-time discrete dead band decision policy that approximates the MILP-optimal hysteresis-aware decisions. Among the evaluated models, Random Forest demonstrates superior predictive performance, achieving a mean squared error (MSE) of 0.0399 and a coefficient of determination (R2) of 95.75 %.Article Citation - WoS: 1A Comprehensive Analysis of Acoustic Emission Signals To Distinguish the Different Damage Types for Fiber-Reinforced Polymers: A Review(Wiley, 2025-12-03) Yilmaz, CagatayFiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) attract the attention of key industries, such as aerospace, wind energy, and automotive, as they can reduce the weight of structural components without compromising their mechanical properties. Due to FRP's anisotropic and non-homogeneous structure, their failure under different loading conditions and the corresponding failure mechanisms must be investigated. One method that progressively monitors the failure of FRP underload is Acoustic Emission (AE). AE can register the elastic stress waves in the form of digitized waveforms, released by the discontinuous events that occur in the FRP under load. These discontinuities can be clustered and identified as transverse cracking, fiber/matrix interface debonding, delamination, and fiber failure by analyzing the AE waveforms. Recently, numerous clustering approaches using machine learning algorithms, along with the varying features of AE waveforms, have been developed and are being used. These algorithms include supervised and unsupervised clustering, deep learning algorithms, and neural network methods, among others. While supervised algorithms require a training dataset to classify AE signals, unsupervised algorithms can perform clustering without training datasets. Deep learning and neural network algorithms can train themselves to cluster data, but they may require a significant amount of computer power when the dataset is large. This review paper provides comprehensive information on the clustering algorithm, along with the AE wave features, the range of features for different damage types, and the type of reinforcer.Conference Object Enhancing Complex Disease Group Scoring with Mirgedinet: A Multi-Algorithm Machine Learning Framework Based on the GSM Approach(IEEE, 2025-06-25) Qumsiyeh, Emma; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu; Yousef, MalikIntegrating biological prior knowledge for disease gene associations has shown significant promise in discovering new biomarkers with potential translational applications. This work investigates the application of a multi-algorithm machine learning framework based on the Grouping-Scoring-Modeling (G-S-M) approach for improving the prediction of complex diseases. The study identifies the primary gene and miRNA interactions in various complex diseases with the help of miRGediNET, which is a machine-learning based tool that integrates data from three biological databases. Traditional methods have only focused on independence between features; the G-S-M method focuses on aggregating genes based on biological interactions, pinpointing the scoring of gene groups for a disease, and modeling its predictive capability using advanced machine learning algorithms. In this research paper, seven algorithms, including Support Vector Machine, Decision Tree, and CatBoost, were applied to eight datasets extracted from the GEO database. This framework proved very robust in ranking gene clusters, thus predicting critical biomarkers while doing 100-fold randomized cross-validation within the evaluation. The results indicate this approach's high potential for refining disease and supporting research for choosing the best algorithm that can provide biological insights and computational advances.Conference Object Exploring Microbiome Signatures in Autism Spectrum Disorder via Grouping-Scoring Based Machine Learning(IEEE, 2025-06-25) Temiz, Mustafa; Ersoz, Nur Sebnem; Yousef, Malik; Bakir-Gungor, BurcuThe rapid increase in omic data production increased the importance of machine learning (ML) methods to analze these data. In particular, the use of metagenomic data in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of diseases is becoming widespread. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disease that occurs in early childhood and continues lifelong. The aim of this study is to increase ML performance, reduce computational costs and achieve successful classification performance using a small number of metagenomic features. In addition, disease prediction is performed; ASD associated biomarkers are determined using the microBiomeGSM on metagenomic data. Classification is performed at three different taxonomic levels (genus, family and order) using the relative abundance values of species. The best performance metric (0.95 AUC) was obtained at the order taxonomic level using an average of 416 features with microBiomeGSM. The identified ASD-related taxonomic species are presented.Conference Object Ensemble Churn Prediction for Internet Service Provider with Machine Learning Techniques(IEEE, 345 E 47TH ST, NEW YORK, NY 10017 USA, 2020) Goy, Gokhan; Kolukisa, Burak; Bahcevan, Cenk; Gungor, Vehbi CagriWith the developing technology in every fields, a competitive marketing environment has been arised In this competitive environment analyzing customer behavior has become vital In particular, the ability to easily change any service provider has become vet) , critical for the company to continue its existence At the same time, the amount of financial resources spent on retaining instituters much less than to obtain new clients.

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.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Textnettopics-SFTS-SBTS Textnettopics Scoring Approaches Based Sequential Forward and Backward(Springer International Publishing AG, 2024) Voskergian, Daniel; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu; Yousef, MalikTextNetTopics is a text classification-based topic modeling approach that performs topic selection rather than word selection to train a machine learning algorithm. However, one main limitation of TextNetTopics is that its scoring component (the S component) assesses each topic independently and ranks them accordingly, neglecting the potential relationship between topics. In order to address this limitation and improve the classification performance, this study introduces an enhancement to TextNetTopics. TextNetTopics-SFTS-SBTS integrates two novel scoring approaches: Sequential Forward Topic Scoring (SFTS) and Sequential Backward Topic Scoring (SBTS), which consider topic interactions by assessing sets of topics simultaneously. This integration aims to streamline the topic selection process and enhance classifier efficiency for text classification. The results obtained across three datasets offer valuable insights into the context-dependent effectiveness of the new scoring mechanisms across diverse datasets and varying numbers of topics involved in the analysis.Conference Object TextNetTopics+: Enhancing Text Classification Through Classifier Diversity and Model Ensembling(Springer International Publishing AG, 2025) Voskergian, Daniel; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu; Yousef, MalikTextNetTopics is an innovative text classification framework that integrates topic modeling with feature selection to improve model accuracy and interpretability. Unlike traditional methods that rely on individual words, TextNetTopics selects cohesive topics extracted via Latent Dirichlet Allocation as features for document representation, effectively reducing dimensionality while preserving the semantic structure of the text. This study evaluates the performance of TextNetTopics utilizing multiple machine learning algorithms in the M (Modeling) component, including Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, Gradient Boosting, eXtreme Gradient Boosting, and Logistic Regression. To further enhance classification performance, we introduce TextNetTopics+, an ensemblebased extension that leverages both hard voting and soft voting mechanisms to combine the strengths of multiple classifiers. Comprehensive experiments on the LitCovid and WOS datasets demonstrate that ensemble learning in TextNetTopics + significantly outperforms individual classifiers in TextNetTopics, confirming its effectiveness in improving model robustness and generalization.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Strategic Investment in BIST100: A Machine Learning Approach Using Symbolic Aggregate Approximation Clustering(Univ Cincinnati industrial Engineering, 2025) Nalici, Mehmet Eren; Soylemez, Ismet; Unlu, RamazanThis study employs the Symbolic Aggregate Approximation (SAX) clustering method to enhance investor decision-making on the Borsa Istanbul (BIST100) by identifying companies exhibiting analogous stock movements.
