    Deep-Learning AI-Model for Predicting Dental Plaque in the Young Permanent Teeth of Children Aged 8-13 Years
    (MDPI, 2025-04-07) Tez, Banu Cicek; Guzel, Yasin; Eliacik, Bahar Basak Kiziltan; Aydin, Zafer; Kızıltan Eliaçık, Bahar Başak
    Background/Objectives: Dental plaque is a significant contributor to various prevalent oral health conditions, including caries, gingivitis, and periodontitis. Consequently, its detection and management are of paramount importance for maintaining oral health. Manual plaque assessment is time-consuming, error-prone, and particularly challenging in uncooperative pediatric patients. These limitations have encouraged researchers to seek faster, more reliable methods. Accordingly, this study aims to develop a deep learning model for detecting and segmenting plaque in young permanent teeth and to evaluate its diagnostic precision. Methods: The dataset comprises 506 dental images from 31 patients aged between 8 and 13 years. Six state-of-the-art models were trained and evaluated using this dataset. The U-Net Transformer model, which yielded the best performance, was further compared against three experienced pediatric dentists for clinical feasibility using 35 randomly selected images from the test set. The clinical trial was registered on under the ID NCT06603233 (1 June 2023). Results: The Intersection over Union (IoU) score of the U-Net Transformer on the test set was measured as 0.7845, and the p-values obtained from the three t-tests conducted for comparison with dentists were found to be below 0.05. Compared with three experienced pediatric dentists, the deep learning model exhibited clinically superior performance in the detection and segmentation of dental plaque in young permanent teeth. Conclusions: This finding highlights the potential of AI-driven technologies in enhancing the accuracy and reliability of dental plaque detection and segmentation in pediatric dentistry.

    ROSE: A Novel Approach for Protein Secondary Structure Prediction
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021) Görmez, Yasin; Aydin, Zafer
    Three-dimensional structure of protein gives important information about protein’s function. Since it is time-consuming and costly to find the structure of protein by experimental methods, estimation of three-dimensional structures of proteins through computational methods has been an efficient alternative. One of the most important steps for the 3-D protein structure prediction is protein secondary structure prediction. Proteins which contain different number and sequences of amino acids may have similar structures. Thus, extracting appropriate input features has crucial importance for secondary structure prediction. In this study, a novel model, ROSE, is proposed for secondary structure prediction that obtains probability distributions as a feature vector by using two position specific scoring matrices obtained by PSIBLAST and HHblits. ROSE is a two-stage hybrid classifier that uses a one-dimensional bi-directional recurrent neural network at the first stage and a support vector machine at the second stage. It is also combined with DSPRED method, which employs dynamic Bayesian networks and a support vector machine. ROSE obtained comparable results to DSPRED in cross-validation experiments performed on a difficult benchmark and can be used as an alternative to protein secondary structure prediction. © 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    NSEM: Duygu Analizi için Özgün Yıǧınlanmiş Topluluk Yöntemi
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-09) Işik, Yunus Emre; Görmez, Yasin; Kaynar, Oǧuz; Aydin, Zafer; Emre Isik, Yunus
    Today, people often share their ideas, opinions and feelings through forums, social media sites, blogs and similar platforms. For this reason, access to these data has become very easy. Increase in the number of shares makes it possible to analyze and use these data in terms of marketing and politics. However, due to the large number of data, it is impossible that this analysis will be done by humans. Determination of what type of emotion is included automatically is done by sentiment analysis methods. In these methods, the text is defined as a mathematical vector and classified by machine learning methods. Ensemble methods are one of the most important methods used as classifiers in sentiment analysis. In these methods, a classifier error is tried to be solved by another classifier. In sentiment analysis, the feature vector that describes the text is as important as the classifier. Feature vectors obtained using different methods can make mistakes in different places. For this reason, in this study, NSEM is proposed for sentiment analysis, which is a new ensemble method that uses 2 different classifiers and 2 different feature extraction methods. As a result of the analysis, the proposed method is the most successful method with an accuracy rate of 79.1%. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Protein İkincil Yapısının Tahmini için Sınıflandırma Yöntemlerinin Optimizasyonu
    (Abdullah Gül Üniversitesi, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2017) Uzut, Ömmu Gülsüm; Aydın, Zafer
    Protein ikincil yapı tahmini, proteinin yapısını ve fonksiyonunu anlamak için önemli ve yaygın olarak kullanılan bir aşamadır. İkincil yapı tahmin bilgisi üç boyutlu yapı tahmini için de kullanıldığından protein dizisiyle üç boyutlu yapısı arasında bir köprü olarak görülebilir. Şimdiye kadar, tahmin doğruluk oranını artırmak için birçok yöntem geliştirilmiştir. Yöntemlerin performansını etkileyecek birden fazla durum vardır. Bunlar arasında model hiper-parametrelerinin doğru seçilmesi önem taşımaktadır. Model eğitme sürecinde direkt olarak öğrenilemeyen bu parametrelerin optimize edilmesiyle modellerin hassas olarak ayarlanması mümkündür. Bu sayede aşırı uyum ve eksik uyum gibi davranışlardan kaçınılması amaçlanır. Bu tezde, destek vektör makinesi, derin katlamalı yapay sinir alanları ve rastgele orman yöntemleri bir hibrit sınıflandırıcının ikinci aşamasında kullanılmak üzere optimize edilmiş ve ikincil yapı tahmini problemine uygulanmıştır. Buna ek olarak eğitilen sınıflandırıcılardan elde edilen tahminler bir topluluk yöntemi ile farklı kombinasyonlarda birleştirilmiş ve başarı oranları en zor tahmin koşulu için incelenmiştir. Geliştirilen yöntemlerin doğruluk oranları literatürdeki en iyi yöntemler ile aynı seviyededir ve farklı modellerin birleştirilmesinin tahmin başarısını iyileştirme potansiyeli bulunduğu gösterilmiştir.

    Makine Öğrenmesi ile Protein Parçacık Seçimi
    (Abdullah Gül Üniversitesi, 2018) EMRE ULUTAŞ, ALPEREN; Ulutaş, Alperen Emre; Aydın, Zafer
    Protein parçacık seçimi proteinlerin üç boyutlu yapılarının tahmin edilmesindeki önemli adımlardan biridir. Doğru parçacık yapılarının seçilmesi üç boyutlu yapının doğru tahmin edilmesi için gereklidir. Bu tezde verilen iki protein parçacığının üç boyutlu yapılarının birbirine benzer olup olmadığını tahmin eden çeşitli yapay öğrenme yöntemleri geliştirilmiştir. Bu sayede yapısı bilinmeyen bir hedef protein için parçacık yapılarının seçilmesi mümkün olacaktır. Tahmin yönteminin girdi olarak kullanacağı öznitelik parametrelerinin tasarlanması için bir konsept hiyerarşi yaklaşımı izlenmiştir. Bunun için dizi profil matrisleri, ikincil yapı, çözücü erişilirlik ve bükülme açı sınıfı tahminleri çeşitli kombinasyonlarda ve izdüşüm uzaylarında incelenmiştir. Üç ve dokuz amino asitlik parçacıkların yapısal benzerlik tahmini için çeşitli sınıflandırma ve regresyon modelleri eğitilmiş ve optimize edilmiştir. Bunlar arasında lojistik regresyon, AdaBoost, karar ağacı, en yakın komşu, sade Bayes, rastgele orman, destek vektör makinası ve çok-katmanlı algılayıcı bulunmaktadır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre farklı öznitelik kümelerinin konsept hiyerarşi yaklaşımı ile birleştirilmesi ve model optimizasyonları tahmin başarısını önemli oranda iyileştirmiştir. Ayrıca çapraz doğrulama deneyleri neticesinde parçacık benzerliğinin yüksek başarı oranları ile tahmin edilebildiği gösterilmiştir. Parçacık benzerliği sınıflandırma problemi olarak tanımlandığı zaman tahmin yöntemlerinin başarı oranları birbirine yakın olarak elde edilmiştir. Regresyon modelleri arasında ise rastgele orman yöntemi en yüksek tahmin başarısına ulaşmıştır.

    Performance Analysis of Machine Learning and Bioinformatics Applications on High Performance Computing Systems
    (2020-01-31) Aydin, Zafer
    Nowadays, it is becoming increasingly important to use the most efficient and most suitable computational resources for algorithmic tools that extract meaningful information from big data and make smart decisions. In this paper, a comparative analysis is provided for performance measurements of various machine learning and bioinformatics software including scikit-learn, Tensorflow, WEKA, libSVM, ThunderSVM, GMTK, PSI-BLAST, and HHblits with big data applications on different high performance computer systems and workstations. The programs are executed in a wide range of conditions such as single-core central processing unit (CPU), multi-core CPU, and graphical processing unit (GPU) depending on the availability of implementation. The optimum number of CPU cores are obtained for selected software. It is found that the running times depend on many factors including the CPU/GPU version, available RAM, the number of CPU cores allocated, and the algorithm used. If parallel implementations are available for a given software, the best running times are typically obtained by GPU, followed by multi-core CPU, and single-core CPU. Though there is no best system that performs better than others in all applications studied, it is anticipated that the results obtained will help researchers and practitioners to select the most appropriate computational resources for their machine learning and bioinformatics projects.
