Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 7Short Term Electricity Load Forecasting: A Case Study of Electric Utility Market in Turkey(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015) Ishik, Muhammed Yasin; Göze, Tolga; Ozcan, Ihsan; Güngör, Vehbi Çağrı; Aydin, ZaferWith the recent developments in energy sector, the pricing of electricity is now governed by the spot market where a variety of market mechanisms are effective. After the new legislation of market liberalization in Turkey, competition-based on hourly price has received a growing interest in the energy market, which necessitated generators and electric utility companies to add new dimensions to their scope of operation: short-term load and price forecasting. The field has several opportunities though not free from challenges. The dynamic behavior of the market price has caused the electric load to become variable and non-stationary. Furthermore, the number of nodes, in which the load must be predicted, is not constant anymore and can no longer be estimated by experts alone. In this competitive scenario, statistical forecasting methods that can automatically and accurately process thousands of data samples are essential. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the importance of short-term load forecasting, how it has received a growing interest in Turkey and to propose an artificial neural network that can forecast the short term electricity load. Through detailed performance evaluations, we demonstrate that our forecasting method is capable of predicting the hourly load accurately. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 13-State Protein Secondary Structure Prediction Based on Scope Classes(Inst Tecnologia Parana, 2021) Atasever, Sema; Azginoglu, Nuh; Erbay, Hasan; Aydin, ZaferImproving the accuracy of protein secondary structure prediction has been an important task in bioinformatics since it is not only the starting point in obtaining tertiary structure in hierarchical modeling but also enhances sequence analysis and sequence-structure threading to help determine structure and function. Herein we present a model based on DSPRED classifier, a hybrid method composed of dynamic Bayesian networks and a support vector machine to predict 3-state secondary structure information of proteins. We used the SCOPe (Structural Classification of Proteins-extended) database to train and test the model. The results show that DSPRED reached a Q(3) accuracy rate of 82.36% when trained and tested using proteins from all SCOPe classes. We compared our method with the popular PSI PRED on the SCOPe test datasets and found that our method outperformed PSI PRED.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 3Data Mining Techniques in Direct Marketing on Imbalanced Data Using Tomek Link Combined With Random Under-Sampling(Assoc Computing Machinery, 2021) Yilmaz, Umit; Gezer, Cengiz; Aydin, Zafer; Gungor, V. CaGriDetermining the potential customers is very important in direct marketing. Data mining techniques are one of the most important methods for companies to determine potential customers. However, since the number of potential customers is very low compared to the number of non-potential customers, there is a class imbalance problem that significantly affects the performance of data mining techniques. In this paper, different combinations of basic and advanced resampling techniques such as Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE), Tomek Link, RUS, and ROS were evaluated to improve the performance of customer classification. Different feature selection techniques are used in order the decrease the number of non-informative features from the data such as Information Gain, Gain Ratio, Chi-squared, and Relief. Classification performance was compared and utilized using several data mining techniques, such as LightGBM, XGBoost, Gradient Boost, Random Forest, AdaBoost, ANN, Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, SVC, Bagging Classifier based on ROC AUC and sensitivity metrics. A combination of Tomek Link and Random Under-Sampling as a resampling technique and Chi-squared method as feature selection algorithm showed superior performance among the other combinations. Detailed performance evaluations demonstrated that with the proposed approach, LightGBM, which is a gradient boosting algorithm based on decision tree, gave the best results among the other classifiers with 0.947 sensitivity and 0.896 ROC AUC value.Master Thesis Bilgisayar Ağlarında Anormal Durum Tespiti Yapan Öğrenme Yöntemlerinin Geliştirilmesi(Abdullah Gül Üniversitesi, 2018) MUKHANDI, HABIBU SHOMARI; Mukhandi, Habibu Shomari; Aydın, ZaferMakine öğrenmesi, verilerdeki bilginin bir bilgisayar ya da makina tarafından otomatik olarak öğrenilmesi ve karşılaşılan yeni durumlarda anlamlı bilgi ya da davranışların üretilmesini amaçlar. Bir çok uygulama alanı bulunan makine öğrenmesi daha önce hiç karşılaşılmamış olan sıradışı durumların tespit edilmesi için de kullanılmaktadır. Bilgisayar ağlarındaki siber saldırılar, kredi kartı dolandırıcılığı ve internet sitelerinin linklerine yapılan çok sayıda sahte tıklamalar dünya genelinde ekonomileri ciddi oranda zarara uğratabilecek niteliktedir. Bu tezde üç farklı anormal durum tespiti problemi üzerinde çalışılmıştır: bilgisayar ağlarında saldırı tespiti, kredi kartı dolandırıcılığı tespiti ve internet sitelerdeki linklere sahte tıklama tespiti. Anormal durum tespiti için geliştirilen ve optimize edilen modeller arasında rastgele orman, en yakın komşu, destek vektör makinası, logistic regresyon, karar ağacı, AdaBoost, çantalama ve yığınlama gibi sınıflandırma yöntemleri bulunmaktadır. Yöntemlerin hiper-parametreleri eğitim kümelerinde yapılan çapraz doğrulama deneyleri ile optimize edilmiştir. Bir sonraki aşamada optimum hiper-parametre konfigürasyonları kullanılarak eğitilen modeler ile test verilerinde tahmin sonuçları hesaplanmıştır. Bu deneyler neticesinde genel doğruluk oranı ve F-measure skorlarında yüksek başarı elde edilmiştir.

In this paper, we introduce a three-stage machine learning classifier to predict the 7-state torsion angles of a protein. The first two stages employ dynamic Bayesian and neural networks to produce an ab-initio prediction of torsion angle states starting from sequence profiles. The third stage is a committee classifier, which combines the ab-initio prediction with a structural frequency profile derived from templates obtained by HHsearch. We develop several structural profile models and obtain significant improvements over the Laplacian scoring technique through: (1) scaling templates by integer powers of sequence identity score, (2) incorporating other alignment scores as multiplicative factors (3) adjusting or optimizing parameters of the profile models with respect to the similarity interval of the target. We also demonstrate that the torsion angle prediction accuracy improves at all levels of target-template similarity even when templates are distant from the target. The improvement is at significantly higher rates as template structures gradually get closer to target.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 5Development of Knowledge Based Response Correction for a Reconfigurable N-Shaped Microstrip Antenna Design(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015) Aoad, Ashrf; Simsek, Murat; Aydin, ZaferThis study presents the use of prior knowledge of inverse artificial neural network (ANN) to model and optimize a reconfigurable N-shaped microstrip antenna. Three accurate prior knowledge inverse ANNs with large amount training data are proposed where the frequency information is incorporated into the structure of ANN. The complexity of the input/output relationship is reduced by using prior knowledge. Three separate methods of incorporating knowledge in the second step of the training process with a multilayer perceptron (MLP) in the first step are demonstrated and their results are compared to EM simulation. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article New Modeling of Reconfigurable Microstrip Antenna Using Hybrid Structure of Simulation Driven and Knowledge Based Artificial Neural Networks(Pamukkale Univ, 2020) Aoad, Ashrf; Aydin, ZaferKnowledge-based modeling has a critical role to embed existing knowledge to improve modeling performance. Since reconfigurable antenna can provide more operational frequencies than the classical antennas, a knowledge-based hybrid structure is used in this work to obtain efficient model and producing optimum new models for a reconfigurable microstrip antenna. The hybrid structure consists of two phases. The first phase generates initial knowledge which is used in knowledge-based modeling structure to obtain design parameters. Artificial neural network based multilayer perceptron can generate necessary knowledge for a knowledge-based model after the training process. Knowledge-based modeling improves the accuracy of the initial model to determine design parameters corresponding to the design target. Source difference, prior knowledge Input and prior knowledge input with difference can be applied to realize an efficient knowledge-based strategy. 3D-EM simulation generates the new model in terms of the design parameters of the proposed application. It has three switching states for operating, which are organized by two resistor circuits representing ON/OFF states. Switch positions and geometrical parameters can be used for satisfying design targets between 1 GHz and 6 GHz for the efficient antenna design.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 19A Deep Learning Approach With Bayesian Optimization and Ensemble Classifiers for Detecting Denial of Service Attacks(Wiley, 2020) Gormez, Yasin; Aydin, Zafer; Karademir, Ramazan; Gungor, Vehbi C.Detecting malicious behavior is important for preventing security threats in a computer network. Denial of Service (DoS) is among the popular cyber attacks targeted at web sites of high-profile organizations and can potentially have high economic and time costs. In this paper, several machine learning methods including ensemble models and autoencoder-based deep learning classifiers are compared and tuned using Bayesian optimization. The autoencoder framework enables to extract new features by mapping the original input to a new space. The methods are trained and tested both for binary and multi-class classification on Digiturk and Labris datasets, which were introduced recently for detecting various types of DDoS attacks. The best performing methods are found to be ensembles though deep learning classifiers achieved comparable level of accuracy.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 13A Continuously Benchmarked and Crowdsourced Challenge for Rapid Development and Evaluation of Models to Predict COVID-19 Diagnosis and Hospitalization(Amer Medical Assoc, 2021) Yan, Yao; Schaffter, Thomas; Bergquist, Timothy; Yu, Thomas; Prosser, Justin; Aydin, Zafer; Mooney, SeanIMPORTANCE Machine learning could be used to predict the likelihood of diagnosis and severity of illness. Lack of COVID-19 patient data has hindered the data science community in developing models to aid in the response to the pandemic. OBJECTIVES To describe the rapid development and evaluation of clinical algorithms to predict COVID-19 diagnosis and hospitalization using patient data by citizen scientists, provide an unbiased assessment of model performance, and benchmark model performance on subgroups. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This diagnostic and prognostic study operated a continuous, crowdsourced challenge using a model-to-data approach to securely enable the use of regularly updated COVID-19 patient data from the University of Washington by participants from May 6 to December 23, 2020. A postchallenge analysis was conducted from December 24, 2020, to April 7, 2021, to assess the generalizability of models on the cumulative data set as well as subgroups stratified by age, sex, race, and time of COVID-19 test. By December 23, 2020, this challenge engaged 482 participants from 90 teams and 7 countries. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Machine learning algorithms used patient data and output a score that represented the probability of patients receiving a positive COVID-19 test result or being hospitalized within 21 days after receiving a positive COVID-19 test result. Algorithms were evaluated using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and area under the precision recall curve (AUPRC) scores. Ensemble models aggregating models from the top challenge teams were developed and evaluated. RESULTS In the analysis using the cumulative data set, the best performance for COVID-19 diagnosis prediction was an AUROC of 0.776 (95% CI, 0.775-0.777) and an AUPRC of 0.297, and for hospitalization prediction, an AUROC of 0.796 (95% CI, 0.794-0.798) and an AUPRC of 0.188. Analysis on top models submitting to the challenge showed consistently better model performance on the female group than the male group. Among all age groups, the best performance was obtained for the 25- to 49-year age group, and the worst performance was obtained for the group aged 17 years or younger. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this diagnostic and prognostic study, models submitted by citizen scientists achieved high performance for the prediction of COVID-19 testing and hospitalization outcomes. Evaluation of challenge models on demographic subgroups and prospective data revealed performance discrepancies, providing insights into the potential bias and limitations in the models.
