Article BrAIn: A Comprehensive Artificial Intelligence-Based Morphology Analysis System for Brain Organoids and Neuroscience(Wiley, 2026-03-12) Polatli, Elifsu; Guner, Huseyin; Bastanlar, Yalin; Karakulah, Gokhan; Evranos, Ali Eren; Kahveci, Burak; Guven, SinanHuman-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) offer transformative potential for biomedical research, with iPSC-derived organoids providing more physiologically relevant models than traditional 2D cell cultures. Among these, brain organoids (BO) are particularly valuable for drug screening, disease modeling, and investigations into molecular pathways. Accurate representation of brain morphology is critical, as more complex organoid structures better mimic the human brain. Deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML) approaches have become integral to analyzing organoid morphology, yet tools for comprehensive, time-resolved assessments are scarce. Here, we introduce BrAIn, a DL-based application for analyzing the developmental progression of BOs. BrAIn tracks their evolution from embryoid bodies (EBs) and quantifies parameters including area, Feret diameter, perimeter, roundness, and circularity. It also classifies budding and abnormal morphologies of 3D organoids and detects monolayer neural rosette structures, key features of neuronal differentiation. Designed with accessibility in mind, BrAIn provides a no-code interface, enabling researchers of all technical backgrounds to conduct advanced morphological analyses with ease. Our study demonstrates the application of BrAIn to evaluate the effects of different growth conditions-static, orbital shaker, and microfluidic chip-based-on BO development. Orbital shaker cultures resulted in the largest organoids, while chip-based systems achieved more homogeneous growth. Both conditions produced organoids with greater morphological complexity compared to static culture. BrAIn emerges as a robust, user-friendly tool to quantify BO development and explore how versatile growth conditions influence their morphology and maturation.Conference Object Generating Lost Urban Fabric: Exploration of Generative Adversarial Networks as a Design Tool in Post-Disaster Urban Recovery(Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe, 2025) Takış, F.N.; Akyüz, S.This study investigates the use of GANs, particularly the Pix2PixHD, for reconstructing urban fabric and preserving urban memory in post-disaster contexts, focusing on Hatay, Türkiye, after the 2023 earthquakes. Models were trained on pre-disaster urban maps and tested on incomplete post-earthquake data to regenerate damaged urban areas. Evaluation metrics, including FID scores, SSIM values, and visual inspections, demonstrated the model's ability to produce contextually accurate designs. The trained model effectively maintained road networks, building geometries, and spatial coherence. In addition to spatial consistency, the model produced outputs with sharp edges and high visual clarity. These results highlight the significant potential of GANs as generative design tools, offering valuable support to urban planners and architects in balancing urgent reconstruction needs with the long-term preservation of urban identity and memory in disaster-affected areas. © 2025, Education and research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe.

The presented study aims to detect open-apex teeth using You Only Look Once (YOLO)-based deep learning models and compare these models.MethodsA total of 966 panoramic radiographs were included in the study. Open-apex teeth in panoramic radiographs were labeled. During the labeling process, they were divided into 6 classes in the maxilla and mandible, namely incisors, premolars, and molars. AI models YOLOv3, YOLOv4, and YOLOv5 were used. To evaluate the performance of the three detection models, both overall and separately for each class in the test dataset, precision, recall, average precision (mAP), and F1 score were calculated.ResultsYOLOv4 achieved the highest overall performance with a mean average precision (mAP) of 87.84% at IoU (Intersection over Union) 0.5 (mAP@0.5), followed by YOLOv5 with 85.6%, and YOLOv3 with 84.46%. Regarding recall, YOLOv4 also led with 90%, while both YOLOv3 and YOLOv5 reached 89%. Moreover, the F1 score was the highest for YOLOv4 (0.87), followed by YOLOv3 (0.86) and YOLOv5 (0.85).ConclusionsIn this study, YOLOv3, YOLOv4, and YOLOv5 were evaluated for the detection of open-apex teeth, and their mAP, recall, and F1 scores exceeded 84%. Deep learning-based systems can provide faster and more accurate results in the detection of open-apex teeth. This may help reduce the need for additional radiographs from patients and aid dentists by saving time.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Prediction of the Diffusible Hydrogen Concentration After Electrochemical Charging Utilizing Artificial Intelligence(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2025-09-01) Sivesoglu, Abdurrahman; Li, Yang; Bal, BurakThe concentration of diffusible hydrogen in a material is of high importance as it helps to predict the hydrogen embrittlement effect in the material, and the amount of mechanical properties' degradation after reaching a critical concentration. Despite that, a simple experimental setup is not available to measure hydrogen concentration at service. In this paper, a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) model is developed using weight initialization, which can estimate the diffusible hydrogen concentration of Face-Centred-Cubic (FCC) metals after electrochemical charging. The input properties of the model include the electrochemical charging parameters of current density, temperature, and charging time as well as the grain size of the specimen. The MLP model with and without the weight initialization was validated and tested with unseen test dataset. The model in both cases showed an excellent predictive performance with a higher accuracy and faster convergence when using weight initialization. A linear correlation of 89% between the experimental and predicted hydrogen concentration was observed. This demonstrates that for the family of FCC metals under electrochemical charging, the estimation of diffusible hydrogen concentration is a feasible path for material safety design analysis.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 13The Impact and Future of Artificial Intelligence in Medical Genetics and Molecular Medicine: An Ongoing Revolution(Springer Heidelberg, 2024-08) Ozcelik, Firat; Dundar, Mehmet Sait; Yildirim, A.

O-RAN introduces disaggregation and virtualization, enabling network operators to deploy multi-vendor and interoperable solutions. However, managing and automating the complex O-RAN ecosystem presents numerous challenges. To address this, machine learning (ML) techniques have gained considerable attention in recent years, offering promising avenues for network automation in O-RAN. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of the current research efforts on network automation usingML in O-RAN.We begin by providing an overview of the O-RAN architecture and its key components, highlighting the need for automation. Subsequently, we delve into O-RAN support forML techniques. The survey then explores challenges in network automation usingML within the O-RAN environment, followed by the existing research studies discussing application of ML algorithms and frameworks for network automation in O-RAN. The survey further discusses the research opportunities by identifying important aspects whereML techniques can benefit.Article Citation - WoS: 244Citation - Scopus: 325Productive Employment and Decent Work: The Impact of AI Adoption on Psychological Contracts, Job Engagement and Employee Trust(Elsevier Science inc, 2021-07) Braganza, Ashley; Chen, Weifeng; Canhoto, Ana; Sap, SerapThis research examines the tension between the aims of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 8 (SDG 8), to promote productive employment and decent work, and the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Our findings are based on the analysis of 232 survey results, where we tested the effects of AI adoption on workers' psychological contract, engagement and trust. We find that psychological contracts had a significant, positive effect on job engagement and on trust. Yet, with AI adoption, the positive effect of psychological contracts fell significantly. A further re-examination of the extant literature leads us to posit that AI adoption fosters the creation of a third type of psychological contract, which we term "Alienational". Whereas SDG 8 is premised on strengthening relational contracts between an organization and its employees, the adoption of AI has the opposite effect, detracting from the very nature of decent work.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Priceless: Privacy Enhanced AI-Driven Scalable Framework for IoT Applications in Serverless Edge Computing Environments(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2024-02-14) Golec, Muhammed; Golec, Mustafa; Xu, Minxian; Wu, Huaming; Gill, Sukhpal Singh; Uhlig, SteveServerless edge computing has emerged as a new paradigm that integrates the serverless and edge computing. By bringing processing power closer to the edge of the network, it provides advantages such as low latency by quickly processing data for time-sensitive Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Additionally, serverless edge computing also brings inherent problems of edge and serverless computing such as cold start, security and privacy that are still waiting to be solved. In this paper, we propose a new Blockchain-based AI-driven scalable framework called PRICELESS, to offer security and privacy in serverless edge computing environments while performing cold start prediction. In PRICELESS framework, we used deep reinforcement learning for the cold start latency prediction. For experiments, a cold start dataset is created using a heart disease risk-based IoT application and deployed using Google Cloud Functions. Experimental results show the additional delay that the blockchain module brings to cold start latency and its impact on cold start prediction performance. Additionally, the performance of PRICELESS is compared with the current state-of-the-art method based on energy cost, computation time and cold start prediction. Specifically, it has been observed that PRICELESS causes 19 ms of external latency, 358.2 watts for training, and 3.6 watts for prediction operations, resulting in additional energy consumption at the expense of security and privacy.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Prediction of Biomechanical Properties of Ex Vivo Human Femoral Cortical Bone Using Raman Spectroscopy and Machine Learning Algorithms(Elsevier, 2025-09) Unal, Mustafa; Unlu, Ramazan; Uppuganti, Sasidhar; Nyman, Jeffry S.This study applied Raman spectroscopy (RS) to ex vivo human cadaveric femoral mid-diaphysis cortical bone specimens (n = 118 donors; age range 21-101 years) to predict fracture toughness properties via machine learning (ML) models. Spectral features, together with demographic variables (age, sex) and structural parameters (cortical porosity, volumetric bone mineral density), were fed into support vector regression (SVR), extreme tree regression (ETR), extreme gradient boosting (XGB), and ensemble models to predict fracture-toughness metrics such as crack-initiation toughness (Kinit) and energy-to-fracture (J-integral). Feature selection was based on Raman-derived mineral and organic matrix parameters, such as nu 1Phosphate (PO4)/CH2-wag, nu 1PO4/ Amide I, and others, to capture the complex composition of bone. Our results indicate that ensemble models consistently outperformed individual models, with the best performance for crack initiation toughness (Kinit) prediction being achieved using the ensemble approach. This yielded a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.623, root-mean squared error (RMSE) of 1.320, mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.015, and mean percentage absolute error (MAPE) of 0.134. For prediction of the overall energy to propagate a crack (J-integral), the XGB model achieved an R2 of 0.737, RMSE of 2.634, MAE of 2.283, and MAPE of 0.240. This study highlights the importance of incorporating mineral quality properties (MP) and organic matrix properties (OMP) for enhanced prediction accuracy. This work represents the first-ever study combining Raman spectroscopy with other clinical and structural features to predict fracture toughness of human cortical bone, demonstrating the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and ML in advancing bone research. Future studies could focus on larger datasets and more advanced modeling techniques to further improve predictive capabilities.
