    Prediction of Colorectal Cancer Based on Taxonomic Levels of Microorganisms and Discovery of Taxonomic Biomarkers Using the Grouping-Scoring (G-S-M) Approach
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2025-03) Bakir-Güngör, Burcu; Temiz, Mustafa; Canakcimaksutoglu, Beyza; Yousef, Malik
    Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer globally. The human gut microbiome plays an important role in the development of CRC and serves as a biomarker for early detection and treatment. This research effort focuses on the identification of potential taxonomic biomarkers of CRC using a grouping-based feature selection method. Additionally, this study investigates the effect of incorporating biological domain knowledge into the feature selection process while identifying CRC-associated microorganisms. Conventional feature selection techniques often fail to leverage existing biological knowledge during metagenomic data analysis. To address this gap, we propose taxonomy-based Grouping Scoring Modeling (G-S-M) method that integrates biological domain knowledge into feature grouping and selection. In this study, using metagenomic data related to CRC, classification is performed at three taxonomic levels (genus, family and order). The MetaPhlAn tool is employed to determine the relative abundance values of species in each sample. Comparative performance analyses involve six feature selection methods and four classification algorithms. When experimented on two CRC associated metagenomics datasets, the highest performance metric, yielding an AUC of 0.90, is observed at the genus taxonomic level. At this level, 7 out of top 10 groups (Parvimonas, Peptostreptococcus, Fusobacterium, Gemella, Streptococcus, Porphyromonas and Solobacterium) were commonly identified for both datasets. Moreover, the identified microorganisms at genus, family, and order levels are thoroughly discussed via refering to CRC-related metagenomic literature. This study not only contributes to our understanding of CRC development, but also highlights the applicability of taxonomy-based G-S-M method in tackling various diseases. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Hyperplastic and Tubular Polyp Classification Using Machine Learning and Feature Selection
    (Elsevier B.V., 2024) Doǧan, Refika Sultan; Akay, Ebru; Doǧan, Serkan; Yilmaz, Bulent
    Purpose: The aim of this study is to develop an effective approach for differentiating between hyperplastic and tubular adenoma colon polyps, which is one of the most difficult tasks in colonoscopy procedures. The main research challenge is how to improve the classification of these polyp subtypes applying various focusing levels on the polyp images, data preprocessing approaches, and classification algorithms. Methods: This study employed 202 colonoscopy videos from a total of 201 patients, focusing on 59 videos containing hyperplastic and tubular adenoma polyps. Manually extract key frames and several feature extraction and classification techniques were applied. The influence of different datasets with various focuses as well as data preprocessing steps on the performance of classification was examined, and AUC values were calculated using ten classifiers. Results: The study discovered that the optimal dataset, data preprocessing method, and classification algorithm all had significant effects on classification results. The Random Forest model with the Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) feature selection approach, for example, consistently outperformed other models and achieved the highest AUC value of 0.9067. In terms of accuracy, F1 score, recall, and AUC, the suggested model outperformed a gastroenterologist, nevertheless precision remained slightly lower. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the importance of dataset selection, data preprocessing, and feature selection in enhancing the classification of difficult colon polyp subtypes. The suggested model offers a promising model for the clinical differentiation of hyperplastic and tubular adenoma polyps, potentially improving diagnostic accuracy in gastroenterology. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Evaluation of Classification Algorithms, Linear Discriminant Analysis and a New Hybrid Feature Selection Methodology for the Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-12) Kolukisa, Burak; Hacilar, Hilal; Göy, Gökhan; Kus, Mustafa; Bakir-Güngör, Burcu; Aral, Atilla; Güngör, Vehbi Çağrı
    According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 31% of the world's total deaths in 2016 (17.9 million) was due to cardiovascular diseases (CVD). With the development of information technologies, it has become possible to predict whether people have heart diseases or not by checking certain physical and biochemical values at a lower cost. In this study, we have evalated a set of different classification algorithms, linear discriminant analysis and proposed a new hybrid feature selection methodology for the diagnosis of coronary heart diseases (CHD). Throughout this research effort, using three publicly available Heart Disease diagnosis datasets (UCI Machine Learning Repository), we have conducted comparative performance evaluations in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, F-measure, AUC and running time. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    A Hybrid Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (Anfis) Approach for Professional Bloggers Classification
    (IEEE, 2019-11) Asim, Yousra; Raza, Basit; Malik, Ahmad Kamran; Shahid, Ahmad R.; Faheem, Muhammad; Kumar, Yogan Jaya
    Despite their small numbers, some users of the online social networks demonstrate the ability to influence others. Bloggers are one of such kind of users that through their ideas and opinions on different topics, influence other users. Their identification may be beneficial for several purposes, such as online marketing for products. Much effort has been expanded towards finding the impact of such bloggers within the blogging community. We have expanded on their work by identifying influential bloggers using labeled data. We have improved upon the accuracy of the classification of professional and non-professional bloggers. We have made use of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), and the Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) models. Their performance has been gauged and compared with the existing techniques and approaches, such as an Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Alternating Decision Tree (ADTree) algorithm, and Classification Based on Associations (CBA) algorithm. Adaptive techniques (ANFIS and ANN) are found better than the aforementioned rule-based classifiers. The FIS model outperformed the CBA algorithm, but showed similar performance to the ADTree algorithm. Our proposed ANFIS model showed improved results in terms of performance measures with 93% accuracy for blogger classification.
