    Metabolic Imaging Based Sub-Classification of Lung Cancer
    (IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2020) Bicakci, Mustafa; Ayyildiz, Oguzhan; Aydin, Zafer; Basturk, Alper; Karacavus, Seyhan; Yilmaz, Bulent
    Lung cancer is one of the deadliest cancer types whose 84% is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, deep learning-based classification methods were investigated comprehensively to differentiate two subtypes of NSCLC, namely adenocarcinoma (ADC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC). The study used 1457 F-18-FDG PET images/slices with tumor from 94 patients (88 men), 38 of which were ADC and the rest were SqCC. Three experiments were carried out to examine the contribution of peritumoral areas in PET images on subtype classification of tumors. We assessed multilayer perceptron (MLP) and three convolutional neural network (CNN) models such as SqueezeNet, VGG16 and VGG19 using three kinds of images in these experiments: 1) Whole slices without cropping or segmentation, 2) cropped image portions (square subimages) that include the tumor and 3) segmented image portions corresponding to tumors using random walk method. Several optimizers and regularization methods were used to optimize each model for the diagnostic classification. The classification models were trained and evaluated by performing stratified 10-fold cross validation, and F-score and area-under-curve (AUC) metrics were used to quantify the performance. According to our results, it is possible to say that inclusion of peritumoral regions/tissues both contributes to the success of models and makes segmentation effort unnecessary. To the best of our knowledge, deep learning-based models have not been applied to the subtype classification of NSCLC in PET imaging, therefore, this study is a significant cornerstone providing thorough comparisons and evaluations of several deep learning models on metabolic imaging for lung cancer. Even simpler deep learning models are found promising in this domain, indicating that any improvement in deep learning models in machine learning community can be reflected well in this domain as well.

    Distinguishing Resting State From Motor Imagery Swallowing Using EEG and Deep Learning Models
    (IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2024) Aslan, Sevgi Gokce; Yilmaz, Bulent
    The primary aim of this study was to assess the classification performance of deep learning models in distinguishing between resting state and motor imagery swallowing, utilizing various preprocessing and data visualization techniques applied to electroencephalography (EEG) data. In this study, we performed experiments using four distinct paradigms such as natural swallowing, induced saliva swallowing, induced water swallowing, and induced tongue protrusion on 30 right-handed individuals (aged 18 to 56). We utilized a 16-channel wearable EEG headset. We thoroughly investigated the impact of different preprocessing methods (Independent Component Analysis, Empirical Mode Decomposition, bandpass filtering) and visualization techniques (spectrograms, scalograms) on the classification performance of multichannel EEG signals. Additionally, we explored the utilization and potential contributions of deep learning models, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), in EEG-based classification processes. The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive examination of the potential of deep learning models, specifically in distinguishing between resting state and motor imagery swallowing processes, using a diverse combination of EEG signal preprocessing and visualization techniques. The results showed that it was possible to distinguish the resting state from the imagination of swallowing with 89.8% accuracy, especially using continuous wavelet transform (CWT) based scalograms. The findings of this study may provide significant contributions to the development of effective methods for the rehabilitation and treatment of swallowing difficulties based on motor imagery-based brain computer interfaces.

    Distributed Formation Control of Drones With Onboard Perception
    (IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2022) Kabore, Kader Monhamady; Guler, Samet
    While aerial vehicles offer enormous benefits in several application domains, multidrone localization and control in uncertain environments with limited onboard sensing capabilities remains an active research field. A formation control solution which does not rely on external infrastructure aids such as GPS and motion capture systems must be established based on onboard perception feedback. We address the integration of onboard perception and decision layers in a distributed formation control architecture for three-drone systems. The proposed algorithm fuses two sensor characteristics, distance, and vision, to estimate the relative positions between the drones. Particularly, we utilize the omnidirectional sensing property of the ultrawideband distance sensors and a deep learning-based bearing detection algorithm in a filter. The entire system leads to a closed-loop perception-decision framework, whose stability and convergence properties are analyzed exploiting its modular structure. Remarkably, the drones do not use a common reference frame. We verified the framework through extensive simulations in a realistic environment. Furthermore, we conducted real world experiments using two drones and proved the applicability of the proposed framework. We conjecture that our solution will prove useful in the realization of future drone swarms.
