    RCE-IFE: Recursive Cluster Elimination With Intra-Cluster Feature Elimination
    (PeerJ Inc, 2025-02-07) Kuzudisli, Cihan; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu; Qaqish, Bahjat; Yousef, Malik
    The computational and interpretational difficulties caused by the ever-increasing dimensionality of biological data generated by new technologies pose a significant challenge. Feature selection (FS) methods aim to reduce the dimension, and feature grouping has emerged as a foundation for FS techniques that seek to detect strong correlations among features and identify irrelevant features. In this work, we propose the Recursive Cluster Elimination with Intra-Cluster Feature Elimination (RCE-IFE) method that utilizes feature grouping and iterates grouping and elimination steps in a supervised context. We assess dimensionality reduction and discriminatory capabilities of RCE-IFE on various high-dimensional datasets from different biological domains. For a set of gene expression, MicroRNA (miRNA) expression, and methylation datasets, the performance of RCE-IFE is comparatively evaluated with RCE-IFE-SVM (the SVM-adapted version of RCE-IFE) and SVM-RCE. On average, RCE-IFE attains an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.85 among tested expression datasets with the fewest features and the shortest running time, while RCE-IFE-SVM (the SVM-adapted version of RCE-IFE) and SVM-RCE achieve similar AUCs of 0.84 and 0.83, respectively. RCE-IFE and SVM-RCE yield AUCs of 0.79 and 0.68, respectively when averaged over seven different metagenomics datasets, with RCE-IFE significantly reducing feature subsets. Furthermore, RCE-IFE surpasses several state-of-the-art FS methods, such as Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (MRMR), Fast Correlation-Based Filter (FCBF), Information Gain (IG), Conditional Mutual Information Maximization (CMIM), SelectKBest (SKB), and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), obtaining an average AUC of 0.76 on five gene expression datasets. Compared with a similar tool, Multi-stage, RCE-IFE gives a similar average accuracy rate of 89.27% using fewer features on four cancer-related datasets. The comparability of RCE-IFE is also verified with other biological domain knowledge-based Grouping-Scoring-Modeling (G-S-M) tools, including mirGediNET, 3Mint, and miRcorrNet. Additionally, the biological relevance of the selected features by RCE-IFE is evaluated. The proposed method also exhibits high consistency in terms of the selected features across multiple runs. Our experimental findings imply that RCE-IFE provides robust classifier performance and significantly reduces feature size while maintaining feature relevance and consistency.

    Network Anomaly Detection Using Deep Autoencoder and Parallel Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm-Trained Neural Network
    (PeerJ Inc, 2024-10-08) Hacilar, Hilal; Dedeturk, Bilge Kagan; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu; Gungor, Vehbi Cagri
    Cyberattacks are increasingly becoming more complex, which makes intrusion detection extremely difficult. Several intrusion detection approaches have been developed in the literature and utilized to tackle computer security intrusions. Implementing machine learning and deep learning models for network intrusion detection has been a topic of active research in cybersecurity. In this study, artificial neural networks (ANNs), a type of machine learning algorithm, are employed to determine optimal network weight sets during the training phase. Conventional training algorithms, such as back- propagation, may encounter challenges in optimization due to being entrapped within local minima during the iterative optimization process; global search strategies can be slow at locating global minima, and they may suffer from a low detection rate. In the ANN training, the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm enables the avoidance of local minimum solutions by conducting a high-performance search in the solution space but it needs some modifications. To address these challenges, this work suggests a Deep Autoencoder (DAE)-based, vectorized, and parallelized ABC algorithm for training feed-forward artificial neural networks, which is tested on the UNSW-NB15 and NF-UNSW-NB15-v2 datasets. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed DAE-based parallel ABC-ANN outperforms existing metaheuristics, showing notable improvements in network intrusion detection. The experimental results reveal a notable improvement in network intrusion detection through this proposed approach, exhibiting an increase in detection rate (DR) by 0.76 to 0.81 and a reduction in false alarm rate (FAR) by 0.016 to 0.005 compared to the ANN-BP algorithm on the UNSWNB15 dataset. Furthermore, there is a reduction in FAR by 0.006 to 0.0003 compared to the ANN-BP algorithm on the NF-UNSW-NB15-v2 dataset. These findings underscore the effectiveness of our proposed approach in enhancing network security against network intrusions.

    CSA-DE-LR: Enhancing Cardiovascular Disease Diagnosis With a Novel Hybrid Machine Learning Approach
    (PeerJ Inc, 2024-07-18) Dedeturk, Beyhan Adanur; Dedeturk, Bilge Kagan; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu
    Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a leading cause of mortality globally, necessitating the development of efficient diagnostic tools. Machine learning (ML) and metaheuristic algorithms have become prevalent in addressing these challenges, providing promising solutions in medical diagnostics. However, traditional ML approaches often need to be improved in feature selection and optimization, leading to suboptimal performance in complex diagnostic tasks. To overcome these limitations, this study introduces a new hybrid method called CSA-DE-LR, which combines the clonal selection algorithm (CSA) and differential evolution (DE) with logistic regression. This integration is designed to optimize logistic regression weights efficiently for the accurate classification of CVD. The methodology employs three optimization strategies based on the F1 score, the Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC), and the mean absolute error (MAE). Extensive evaluations on benchmark datasets, namely Cleveland and Statlog, reveal that CSA-DELR outperforms state-of-the-art ML methods. In addition, generalization is evaluated using the Breast Cancer Wisconsin Original (WBCO) and Breast Cancer Wisconsin Diagnostic (WBCD) datasets. Significantly, the proposed model demonstrates superior efficacy compared to previous research studies in this domain. This study's findings highlight the potential of hybrid machine learning approaches for improving diagnostic accuracy, offering a significant advancement in the fields of medical data analysis and CVD diagnosis.

    Aguhyper: A Hyperledger-Based Electronic Health Record Management Framework
    (PeerJ Inc, 2024-05-22) Dedeturk, Beyhan Adanur; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu
    The increasing importance of healthcare records, particularly given the emergence of new diseases, emphasizes the need for secure electronic storage and dissemination. With these records dispersed across diverse healthcare entities, their physical maintenance proves to be excessively time-consuming. The prevalent management of electronic healthcare records (EHRs) presents inherent security vulnerabilities, including susceptibility to attacks and potential breaches orchestrated by malicious actors. To tackle these challenges, this article introduces AguHyper, a secure storage and sharing solution for EHRs built on a permissioned blockchain framework. AguHyper utilizes Hyperledger Fabric and the InterPlanetary Distributed File System (IPFS). Hyperledger Fabric establishes the blockchain network, while IPFS manages the off -chain storage of encrypted data, with hash values securely stored within the blockchain. Focusing on security, privacy, scalability, and data integrity, AguHyper ' s decentralized architecture eliminates single points of failure and ensures transparency for all network participants. The study develops a prototype to address gaps identi fi ed in prior research, providing insights into blockchain technology applications in healthcare. Detailed analyses of system architecture, AguHyper ' s implementation con fi gurations, and performance assessments with diverse datasets are provided. The experimental setup incorporates CouchDB and the Raft consensus mechanism, enabling a thorough comparison of system performance against existing studies in terms of throughput and latency. This contributes signi fi cantly to a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed solution and offers a unique perspective on existing literature in the fi eld.
