    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, Malik
    Integrating 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.

    High Performance and Resource Efficient Low Density Parity Check Decoder Design
    (IEEE, 2025-06-25) Unal, Burak
    Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes have gained popularity in communication systems due to their capacity-approaching error correction performance. In this study, a highperformance LDPC decoding algorithm with extremely low resource usage is proposed. Among the hard decision class of LDPC decoders, Gallager B (GaB) provides high-performance hardware due to its computational simplicity. However, GaB suffers from poor error-correction performance. In this study, a new intrinsic computation technique for GaB called Intrinsic Gallager B (IGaB) is introduced to improve error correction performance. Our simulation results show that the IGaB algorithm provides better error correction performance compared with GaB. GaB and IGaB algorithms are implemented on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) to compare hardware performance.

    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, Burcu
    The 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.

    (IEEE, 2025-06-25) Uluirmak, Bugra Alperen; Kurban, Rifat
    In this paper, Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) finetuning of two different large language models (DeepSeek R1 Distill 8B and Llama3.1 8B) was performed using the Turkish dataset. Training was performed on Google Colab using A100 40 GB GPU, while the testing phase was carried out on Runpod using L4 24 GB GPU. The 64.6 thousand row dataset was transformed into question-answer pairs from the fields of agriculture, education, law and sustainability. In the testing phase, 40 test questions were asked for each model via Ollama web UI and the results were supported with graphs and detailed tables. It was observed that the performance of the existing language models improved with the fine-tuning method.

    Software Defined Communication Framework for Smart Grid to Meet Energy Demands in Smart Cities
    (IEEE, 2019-04) Faheem, Muhammad; Umar, Muhammad; Butt, Rizwan Aslam; Raza, Basit; Ngadi, Md. Asri; Gungor, Vehbi Cagri
    In smart cities, the electricity is an essential component since it preserves a certain level of residents' life quality and provisions the entire spectrum of their economic activities. Thus, a smart way is essential to develop cities without disregarding energy issues. In this scope, the smart grid paradigm offers power supply in an efficient, sustainable and economical manner with minimal impact on the environment and can meet the future energy demands. However, real-time monitoring and control of the smart grid (SG) for continuous and quality-aware power supply in smart cities (SCs) is challenging and requires an advanced quality of service (QoS)-aware communication framework. In this context, this research aims to present a novel data-gathering scheme by using the Internet of software-defined mobile sinks (SDMSs) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in the smart grid. The extensive simulation results conducted through the EstiNet9.0 indicate that the designed scheme outperforms existing approaches and achieves its defined goals for events-drive applications in the SG.

    Sliding Mode Control of a Switched Reluctance Motor Drive With Four-Switch Bi-Directional Dc-Dc Converter for Torque Ripple Minimization
    (IEEE, 2020-09) Ates, Ertugrul; Tekgun, Burak; Ablay, Gunyaz
    In this paper, a method to drive switched reluctance motors (SRM) with a modular four-switch bi-directional DC-DC converter and an H-bridge is proposed. The DC-DC converter operates as a buck or a boost converter with constant frequency to control each phase current while the H-bridge inverter switches only twice in a period to adjust the polarity of the phase voltage. Sliding mode control is designed to have fast and robust current control in the DC-DC converter. The sliding surface equation which is derived for all operation modes including buck and boost modes in motoring and regenerating conditions is defined with the estimated inductor current. The proposed drive system eliminates the bulk DC-capacitors and allows one to adjust the bus voltage individually for all phases. Moreover, the proposed system topology works with only one high-frequency switching device in the DC-DC conversion stage rather than two in conventional drives which provides a simpler current control and reduced switching losses.

    Range-Based Wireless Sensor Network Localization by a Circumnavigating Mobile Anchor Without Position Information
    (IEEE, 2024-06-11) Guler, Samet
    Typical range-based wireless sensor network (WSN) localization approaches aim at estimating the sensor node positions by using a set of anchors with known positions. In some applications, assuming the knowledge of the anchors' positions may be impractical, and estimation of the sensors' positions in an arbitrary fixed frame may be sufficient. Considering such scenarios, we propose a WSN localization algorithm by single mobile anchor without self location information. The mobile anchor obtains distance measurements from the sensors while tracking a custom trajectory which is shown to improve the localization performance over time for high signal-to-noise ratio cases. By utilizing two stationary reference nodes within the WSN, the proposed framework generates sensor node position estimation up to translation and rotation with sufficient precision in the absence of global positioning aids. We foresee that the proposed framework can demonstrate benefits in several WSN applications ranging from internet-of-things to service robotics.

    Prediction of Type 2 Diabetes Using Metagenomic Data and Identification of Taxonomic Biomarkers
    (IEEE, 2024-05-15) Temiz, Mustafa; Kuzudisli, Cihan; Yousef, Malik; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu
    Nowadays, different molecular levels of -omics data on diseases are generated and analyzing these data with machine learning methods is one of the popular research topics. Among these data, the use of metagenomic data to facilitate the diagnosis, detection and treatment of diseases is increasing day by day. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic disease characterized by insulin resistance and progressive dysfunction of pancreatic beta cells. While the number of people with diabetes is increasing by around 8% annually, the cost of treating the disease is rising by 18% per year. Therefore, the number of studies on the diagnosis, development and progression of T2D is increasing over time. The aim of this study is to achieve higher machine learning performance by using fewer metagenomic features and to achieve better classification performance by reducing computational costs. In this study, we compare the performance of three different methods using T2D-related metagenomic data. First, the MetaPhlAn tool is used to calculate the taxonomic species and their relative abundances in each sample. The SVM-RCE, RCE-IFE and microBiomeGSM tools used in this study are methods that perform classification by grouping and scoring features and are known to work well on complex datasets. In this study, the best results were obtained with the RCE-IFE tool with an AUC of 0.72 with an average of 125 features information. In addition, key taxonomic species identified by these tools as associated with T2D are presented in comparison to the literature.

    Power Factor Improvement of a Permanent-Magnet Vernier Machine with Harmonic Injected Excitation Currents
    (IEEE, 2025-06-11) Karatepe, Hasan Can; Tekgun, Didem
    Permanent-magnet vernier machines (PMVM) are recognized for their high torque density but low power factor (PF) due to high inductive reactance. This paper presents a method for improving the PF of a PMVM by injecting additional harmonics into the excitation currents. This injection is done through the motor drive, unlike many proposed methods for enhancing PF, thus eliminating any modifications needed on the machine's geometric design. In this paper, different sets of harmonic injected currents are fed to a 14-rotor pole 12-slot PMVM with short-pitched coils on Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to demonstrate the effects of individual and combined harmonic currents. Corresponding performance characteristics of each simulation case, such as PF and torque density, are investigated. Simulation results indicate that PF can be improved by the proposed method of harmonic current injection. A comparison with a similarly sized permanent-magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) is made to demonstrate that the proposed method can be an alternative to widely used PMSMs.
