Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3MicroRNA Prediction Based on 3D Graphical Representation of RNA Secondary Structures(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2019-08-05) Sacar Demirci, Muserref Duygu; Demirci, Müşerref Duygu SaçarMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression. While a miRNA can target hundreds of messenger RNA (mRNAs), an mRNA can be targeted by different miRNAs, not to mention that a single miRNA might have various binding sites in an mRNA sequence. Therefore, it is quite involved to investigate miRNAs experimentally. Thus, machine learning (ML) is frequently used to overcome such challenges. The key parts of a ML analysis largely depend on the quality of input data and the capacity of the features describing the data. Previously, more than 1000 features were suggested for miRNAs. Here, it is shown that using 36 features representing the RNA secondary structure and its dynamic 3D graphical representation provides up to 98% accuracy values. In this study, a new approach for ML-based miRNA prediction is proposed. Thousands of models are generated through classification of known human miRNAs and pseudohairpins with 3 classifiers: decision tree, naive Bayes, and random forest. Although the method is based on human data, the best model was able to correctly assign 96% of nonhuman hairpins from MirGeneDB, suggesting that this approach might be useful for the analysis of miRNAs from other species.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Electricity Load Forecasting Using Deep Learning and Novel Hybrid Models(Sakarya University, 2022-02-28) Sutcu, Muhammed; Şahi̇n, Kübra Nur; Koloğlu, Yunus; Çelikel, Mevlüt Emirhan; Gulbahar, Ibrahim TümayLoad forecasting is an essential task which is executed by electricity retail companies. By predicting the demand accurately, companies can prevent waste of resources and blackouts. Load forecasting directly affect the financial of the company and the stability of the Turkish Electricity Market. This study is conducted with an electricity retail company, and main focus of the study is to build accurate models for load. Datasets with novel features are preprocessed, then deep learning models are built in order to achieve high accuracy for these problems. Furthermore, a novel method for solving regression problems with classification approach (discretization) is developed for this study. In order to obtain more robust model, an ensemble model is developed and the success of individual models are evaluated in comparison to each other. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Comparative Assessment of Smooth and Non-Smooth Optimization Solvers in Hanso Software(Ramazan Yaman, 2021-10-27) Tor, Ali HakanThe aim of this study is to compare the performance of smooth and nonsmooth mization) software. The smooth optimization solver is the implementation of the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) method and the nonsmooth optimization solver is the Hybrid Algorithm for Nonsmooth Optimization. More precisely, the nonsmooth optimization algorithm is the combination of the BFGS and the Gradient Sampling Algorithm (GSA). We use well-known collection of academic test problems for nonsmooth optimization containing both convex and nonconvex problems. The motivation for this research is the importance of the comparative assessment of smooth optimization methods for solving nonsmooth optimization problems. This assessment will demonstrate how successful is the BFGS method for solving nonsmooth optimization problems in comparison with the nonsmooth optimization solver from HANSO. Performance profiles using the number iterations, the number of function evaluations and the number of subgradient evaluations are used to compare solvers.Article Citation - Scopus: 4Türkiye’de Yapılan Kuraklık Analiz Çalışmaları Üzerine Bir Derleme(Ankara University, 2022-10-31) Deniz Öztürk, Yasemin; Ünlü, Ramazan; Öztürk, Yasemin DenizDrought has become one of the most studied disaster issues by scientists, especially after the 2000s, with the importance of climate change. Many scientific publications on drought have been produced, due to many different methods on drought and the study of drought by many disciplines of science. In the study, theses, national and international articles, which include drought analysis by using any statistical method over meteorological data in Turkey, were compiled. A total of 270 studies, including 73 master's and Ph.D. theses, 107 national articles, and 90 international articles, written between 1943-2021 were examined. These studies were classified according to the year of publication, the drought analysis methods used, in publication, the scientific field of the first author, and the region examined in the study, and their frequency distributions were revealed. The main conclusions of this study are as follows: Although the first published studies on drought analysis in Turkey were made in 1943, 1956, and 1965, studies on drought started to increase after 2000 and the total number of publications reached 37 in 2019, 43 in 2020, and 64 in 2021. Publications in the period of 2019-2021 correspond to 53% of all publications. This rapid increase in recent years has led to a logarithmic increase in the number of publications. Although 63 different methods are used in drought analysis in the studies, the standardized precipitation index is the dominant method with a usage rate of 56%. Most of the studies were carried out on the basins (113). In 41 studies, the whole of Turkey was examined. Other studies were carried out for geographical regions, provinces, and smaller settlements. According to the scientific fields, it is seen that the Civil Engineering (131 units) and Geography (41 units) departments are the scientific fields that carry out the most drought analysis studies. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
