    The Determination of Distinctive Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Sets for the Diagnosis of Behcet's Disease
    (IEEE Computer Soc, 2022-05-01) Isik, Yunus Emre; Gormez, Yasin; Aydin, Zafer; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu
    Behcet's Disease (BD) is a multi-system inflammatory disorder in which the etiology remains unclear. 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.

    Novel Antimicrobial Peptide Design Using Motif Match Score Representation
    (IEEE Computer Soc, 2024-11) Soylemez, Ummu Gulsum; Yousef, Malik; Kesmen, Zulal; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu
    Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have drawn the interest of the researchers since they offer an alternative to the traditional antibiotics in the fight against antibiotic resistance and they exhibit additional pharmaceutically significant properties. Recently, computational approaches attemp to reveal how antibacterial activity is determined from a machine learning perspective and they aim to search and find the biological cues or characteristics that control antimicrobial activity via incorporating motif match scores. This study is dedicated to the development of a machine learning framework aimed at devising novel antimicrobial peptide (AMP) sequences potentially effective against Gram-positive/Gram-negative bacteria. In order to design newly generated sequences classified as either AMP or non-AMP, various classification models were trained. These novel sequences underwent validation utilizing the "DBAASP: strain-specific antibacterial prediction based on machine learning approaches and data on AMP sequences" tool. The findings presented herein represent a significant stride in this computational research, streamlining the process of AMP creation or modification within wet lab environments.

    Liver Fibrosis Staging Using CT Image Texture Analysis and Soft Computing
    (Elsevier, 2014-12) Kayaalti, Omer; Aksebzeci, Bekir Hakan; Karahan, Ibrahim Okkes; Deniz, Kemal; Ozturk, Mehmet; Yilmaz, Bulent; Asyali, Musa Hakan
    Liver biopsy is considered to be the gold standard for analyzing chronic hepatitis and fibrosis; however, it is an invasive and expensive approach, which is also difficult to standardize. Medical imaging techniques such as ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging are non-invasive and helpful methods to interpret liver texture, and may be good alternatives to needle biopsy. Recently, instead of visual inspection of these images, computer-aided image analysis based approaches have become more popular. In this study, a non-invasive, low-cost and relatively accurate method was developed to determine liver fibrosis stage by analyzing some texture features of liver CT images. In this approach, some suitable regions of interests were selected on CT images and a comprehensive set of texture features were obtained from these regions using different methods, such as Gray Level Co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), Laws' method, Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), and Gabor filters. Afterwards, sequential floating forward selection and exhaustive search methods were used in various combinations for the selection of most discriminating features. Finally, those selected texture features were classified using two methods, namely, Support Vector Machines (SVM) and k-nearest neighbors (k-NN). The mean classification accuracy in pairwise group comparisons was approximately 95% for both classification methods using only 5 features. Also, performance of our approach in classifying liver fibrosis stage of subjects in the test set into 7 possible stages was investigated. In this case, both SVM and k-NN methods have returned relatively low classification accuracies. Our pairwise group classification results showed that DWT, Gabor, GLCM, and Laws' texture features were more successful than the others; as such features extracted from these methods were used in the feature fusion process. Fusing features from these better performing families further improved the classification performance. The results show that our approach can be used as a decision support system in especially pairwise fibrosis stage comparisons. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Detection of Movement Intention in EEG-Based Brain-Computer Interfaces Using Fourier-Based Synchrosqueezing Transform
    (World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2021) Karakullukcu, Nedime; Yilmaz, Bulent
    Patients with motor impairments need caregivers' help to initiate the operation of brain-computer interfaces (BCI). This study aims to identify and characterize movement intention using multichannel electroencephalography (EEG) signals as a means to initiate BCI systems without extra accessories/methodologies. We propose to discriminate the resting and motor imagery (MI) states with high accuracy using Fourier-based synchrosqueezing transform (FSST) as a feature extractor. FSST has been investigated and compared with other popular approaches in 28 healthy subjects for a total of 6657 trials. The accuracy and f-measure values were obtained as 99.8% and 0.99, respectively, when FSST was used as the feature extractor and singular value decomposition (SVD) as the feature selection method and support vector machines as the classifier. Moreover, this study investigated the use of data that contain certain amount of noise without any preprocessing in addition to the clean counterparts. Furthermore, the statistical analysis of EEG channels with the best discrimination (of resting and MI states) characteristics demonstrated that F4-Fz-C3-Cz-C4-Pz channels and several statistical features had statistical significance levels, p, less than 0.05. This study showed that the preparation of the movement can be detected in real-time employing FSST-SVD combination and several channels with minimal pre-processing effort.
