Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 8Short Term Electricity Load Forecasting: A Case Study of Electric Utility Market in Turkey(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015-04) Ishik, Muhammed Yasin; Göze, Tolga; Ozcan, Ihsan; Güngör, Vehbi Çağrı; Aydin, Zafer; Yasin, MuhammedWith the recent developments in energy sector, the pricing of electricity is now governed by the spot market where a variety of market mechanisms are effective. After the new legislation of market liberalization in Turkey, competition-based on hourly price has received a growing interest in the energy market, which necessitated generators and electric utility companies to add new dimensions to their scope of operation: short-term load and price forecasting. The field has several opportunities though not free from challenges. The dynamic behavior of the market price has caused the electric load to become variable and non-stationary. Furthermore, the number of nodes, in which the load must be predicted, is not constant anymore and can no longer be estimated by experts alone. In this competitive scenario, statistical forecasting methods that can automatically and accurately process thousands of data samples are essential. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the importance of short-term load forecasting, how it has received a growing interest in Turkey and to propose an artificial neural network that can forecast the short term electricity load. Through detailed performance evaluations, we demonstrate that our forecasting method is capable of predicting the hourly load accurately. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 20ROI Detection in Mammogram Images Using Wavelet-Based Haralick and Hog Features(IEEE, 2018-12) Tasdemir, Sena Busra Yengec; Tasdemir, Kasim; Aydin, Zafer; Yengec Tasdemir, Sena BusraDigital mammography is a widespread medical imaging technique that is used for early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. Detecting the region of interest (ROI) helps to locate the abnormal areas, which may be analyzed further by a radiologist or a CAD system. In this paper, a new classification method is proposed for ROI detection in mammography images. Features are extracted using Wavelet transform, Haralick and HOG descriptors. To reduce the number of dimensions and eliminate irrelevant features, a wrapper-based feature selection method is implemented. Several feature extraction methods and machine learning classifiers are compared by performing a leave-one-image-out cross-validation experiment on a difficult dataset. The proposed feature extraction method provides the best accuracy of 87.5% and the second-best area under curve (AUC) score of 84% when employed in a random forest classifier.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 4Open Source Slurm Computer Cluster System Design and a Sample Application(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017-10) Azgınoglu, Nuh; Atasever, Mehmet Umut; Aydin, Zafer; Celik, Mete; Erbay, HasanCluster computing combines the resources of multiple computers as they act like a single high-performance computer.

Since reconfigurable antenna can provide more operational frequencies than the classical antennas, a knowledge-based hybrid structure is used in this work to obtain efficient model and producing optimum new models for a reconfigurable microstrip antenna. The hybrid structure consists of two phases. The first phase generates initial knowledge which is used in knowledge-based modeling structure to obtain design parameters. Artificial neural network based multilayer perceptron can generate necessary knowledge for a knowledge-based model after the training process. Knowledge-based modeling improves the accuracy of the initial model to determine design parameters corresponding to the design target. Source difference, prior knowledge Input and prior knowledge input with difference can be applied to realize an efficient knowledge-based strategy. 3D-EM simulation generates the new model in terms of the design parameters of the proposed application. It has three switching states for operating, which are organized by two resistor circuits representing ON/OFF states. Switch positions and geometrical parameters can be used for satisfying design targets between 1 GHz and 6 GHz for the efficient antenna design.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1Feature Selection for Protein Dihedral Angle Prediction(IEEE, 2017) Aydin, Zafer; Kaynar, Oguz; Gormez, YasinThree-dimensional structure prediction has crucial importance for bioinformatics and theoretical chemistry. One of the main steps of three-dimensional structure prediction is dihedral (torsion) angle prediction. As new feature extraction methods are developed the dimension of the input space increases considerably yielding longer model training and less accurate models due to noisy or redundant features. In this study, feature selection is employed for dimensionality reduction on one of the established benchmarks of protein 1D structure prediction. Experimental results show that the feature selection improves the accuracy of protein dihedral angle class prediction by 2% and can eliminate up to %82 of the features when random forest classifier is used. Accurate prediction of dihedral angles will eventually contribute to protein structure prediction.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 5Development of Knowledge Based Response Correction for a Reconfigurable N-Shaped Microstrip Antenna Design(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015-08) Aoad, Ashrf; Simsek, Murat; Aydin, ZaferThis study presents the use of prior knowledge of inverse artificial neural network (ANN) to model and optimize a reconfigurable N-shaped microstrip antenna. Three accurate prior knowledge inverse ANNs with large amount training data are proposed where the frequency information is incorporated into the structure of ANN. The complexity of the input/output relationship is reduced by using prior knowledge. Three separate methods of incorporating knowledge in the second step of the training process with a multilayer perceptron (MLP) in the first step are demonstrated and their results are compared to EM simulation. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 5Design of a Tri Band 5-Fingers Shaped Microstrip Patch Antenna With an Adjustable Resistor(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014-11) Aoad, Ashrf; Aydin, Zafer; Korkmaz, ErdalThis paper presents a tri band 5-fingers shaped microstrip patch antenna, which resonates initially at dual band of 3.2 GHz and 5.2 GHz frequencies for VSWR < 2. The antenna is modified by adding an adjustable resistor between the conductor and the reflecting plane giving a third resonant frequency of 2.4 GHz. A decrease in the return loss at 2.4 GHz is observed by modifying the value of the resistance. Impedance bandwidth and the resonant frequencies are examined with respect to the variability of the parameters of the antenna and the position of the adjustable resistor. The size of the antenna has been reduced by 57.9% in length and 14.06% in width. The proposed antenna can be used for 4G, WLAN, and Wi-MAX. The antenna is designed and optimized by using the commercial CST software. © 2016 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 4Data Mining Techniques in Direct Marketing on Imbalanced Data Using Tomek Link Combined With Random Under-Sampling(Assoc Computing Machinery, 2021-05-27) Yilmaz, Umit; Gezer, Cengiz; Aydin, Zafer; Gungor, V. CaGri; Yllmaz, Ümit; Aydln, ZaferDetermining the potential customers is very important in direct marketing. Data mining techniques are one of the most important methods for companies to determine potential customers. However, since the number of potential customers is very low compared to the number of non-potential customers, there is a class imbalance problem that significantly affects the performance of data mining techniques. In this paper, different combinations of basic and advanced resampling techniques such as Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE), Tomek Link, RUS, and ROS were evaluated to improve the performance of customer classification. Different feature selection techniques are used in order the decrease the number of non-informative features from the data such as Information Gain, Gain Ratio, Chi-squared, and Relief. Classification performance was compared and utilized using several data mining techniques, such as LightGBM, XGBoost, Gradient Boost, Random Forest, AdaBoost, ANN, Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, SVC, Bagging Classifier based on ROC AUC and sensitivity metrics. A combination of Tomek Link and Random Under-Sampling as a resampling technique and Chi-squared method as feature selection algorithm showed superior performance among the other combinations. Detailed performance evaluations demonstrated that with the proposed approach, LightGBM, which is a gradient boosting algorithm based on decision tree, gave the best results among the other classifiers with 0.947 sensitivity and 0.896 ROC AUC value.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 2Combining Classifiers for Protein Secondary Structure Prediction(IEEE, 2017) Aydin, Zafer; Uzut, Ommu GulsumProtein secondary structure prediction is an important step in estimating the three dimensional structure of proteins. Among the many methods developed for predicting structural properties of proteins, hybrid classifiers and ensembles that combine predictions from several models are shown to improve the accuracy rates. In this paper, we train, optimize and combine a support vector machine, a deep convolutional neural field and a random forest in the second stage of a hybrid classifier for protein secondary structure prediction. We demonstrate that the overall accuracy of the proposed ensemble is comparable to the success rates of the state-of-the-art methods in the most difficult prediction setting and combining the selected models have the potential to further improve the accuracy of the base learners.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 3Ceph-Based Storage Server Application(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-03) Azgınoglu, Nuh; Eren, Mehmet Akif; Celik, Mete; Aydin, ZaferCeph is a scalable and high performance distributed file system.
