A Fixed-Grid Rdtm-Based Computational Strategy for Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations
type: item
description: In this study, a fixed-grid version of the Reduced Differential Transform Method (RDTM) is systematically implemented to obtain approximate solutions of linear and nonlinear partial differential equations. In this method, the solution range is divided into equal subregions and the fixed-grid algorithm is integrated into the RDTM framework. This approach provides an efficient and orderly computational process for solving complex partial differential equations. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated on the homogeneous Klein–Gordon equation (a representative hyperbolic equation) and the nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation, and the obtained approximate solutions are compared with known analytical solutions with high accuracy and consistency. Furthermore, the proposed fixed-grid RDTM (FGS-RDTM) framework offers potential integration with intelligent systems where accurate and efficient numerical solvers are required for modeling, control, and learning in dynamic environments. These results confirm the reliability and practical usefulness of the new method in addressing nonlinear partial differential equations in the context of intelligent computational systems.

Dual-Scale Transformer-Guided Attention Network for Efficient Multi-OAR Segmentation in Head and Neck Radiotherapy
type: item
description: Accurate segmentation of organ-at-risk (OARs) in head and neck CT images is crucial for radiotherapy planning, but it remains a challenging task due to anatomical complexity, low soft-tissue contrast, and the presence of small, variable structures. We propose DSTANet, a novel dual-scale transformer-guided attention network that integrates multi-resolution encoding, transformer-based global context fusion, and anatomically guided attention refinement to deliver precise multi-OAR segmentation. Unlike traditional CNN-based methods, DSTANet effectively models long-range spatial dependencies while preserving high-resolution boundary detail. On the HNSCC-3DCT-RT dataset, DSTANet achieved a mean Dice Score of 97.5% and a mean 95th percentile Hausdorff Distance (HD95) of 2.32 mm, while on the MICCAI 2015 benchmark dataset, it achieved 90.0% Dice, which surpasses several state-of-the-art approaches both in terms of overlap and geometric accuracy. These results, combined with a sub-20-second inference time, establish DSTANet as a robust and clinically viable solution for automated head and neck OAR segmentation.

type: item
description: Metaheuristic algorithms are powerful methods used to solve large and complex optimization problems. Thanks to their flexibility, they provide effective results in various fields and also have an important place in security applications such as the Merkle-Hellman Knapsack Crypto System. Aquila Optimizer is an optimization algorithm inspired by the hunting behavior of aquilas. It provides fast and effective solutions to complex problems. In this study, Aquila Optimizer is discretized using taper-shaped transfer functions. Taper-shaped transfer functions help the algorithm obtain more precise and effective results by increasing its performance. Four BinAO versions obtained in this way were tested on the Merkle-Hellman Knapsack Cryptosystem. In the tests conducted for the cryptanalysis of "CAT" and "MACRO" messages, the version achieved more successful results. Additionally, tests conducted with the algorithms in the literature clearly showed that the proposed algorithm is successful and effective.

type: item
description: The integration of visual intelligence technologies in retail environments has revolutionized inventory tracking and customer behavior analysis. This study proposes a comprehensive deep learning-based framework that leverages advanced object detection models to enhance retail operations through real-time visual insights. Our method integrates state-of-the-art architectures such as YOLOv8 and Mask R-CNN to accurately identify, track, and classify products on shelves while simultaneously analyzing shopper interactions and movement patterns. By utilizing annotated datasets collected from real-world retail scenarios, the system demonstrates high accuracy in both inventory status recognition and behavioral inference, outperforming traditional sensor-based methods. Furthermore, we introduce a hybrid loss function and a scene-aware postprocessing module that improves detection in occluded or dynamic environments. The experimental results show that our approach enables automated planogram compliance checks, customer heatmap generation, and actionable analytics, thus supporting intelligent decision-making for retailers. This research contributes a scalable and real-time visual system that bridges the gap between deep learning and practical retail intelligence.

Fusion-Aware Lightweight CNN with Channel-Wise Attention for Rose Leaf Disease Classification in Multispectral Color Domains
type: item
description: The rose plant holds significant economic and cultural value, not only as an ornamental species but also due to its widespread use across various industrial domains such as cosmetics, medicine, and perfumery. In this context, the early and accurate detection of leaf diseases is crucial for ensuring the healthy cultivation of rose plants. This study presents a novel approach that integrates image processing and deep learning techniques for the detection of common leaf diseases in rose plants. The proposed method utilizes the RoseNet dataset, which consists of three classes: Black Spot, Downy Mildew, and Fresh Leaf. Input images were converted into RGB, HSV, and YCrCb color spaces and then fused at the channel level to enhance spectral diversity and improve the model's learning capacity. The developed convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture was enriched with channel attention mechanisms, namely Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) and Efficient Channel Attention (ECA) blocks. Class imbalance issues were addressed through class weighting and label smoothing strategies. The model's performance was evaluated using multiple metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Achieving an accuracy of 95.65%, the proposed model outperformed widely used CNN architectures in the literature. Furthermore, with a low parameter count (1.03M) and a fast test time (376 ms), the model is well-suited for deployment on embedded systems. The findings demonstrate that attention mechanisms are effective in enhancing class discrimination, particularly in low-sample-size datasets. Thus, the proposed model offers a reliable, cost-effective, and AI-based solution for the diagnosis of plant leaf diseases.

Implementation of a Heuristic Algorithm for the Solution of Discrete Time Cost Trade-off Problem
type: item
description: Time cost trade-off problem aims to minimize the total project cost by crashing the critical activities. This problem is solved by mathematical programming and meta-heuristic algorithms. However, construction sector has minimum priority on the theoretical knowledge to implement robust optimization algorithms. For this reason aforementioned optimization algorithms can be hardly implemented for the private construction companies. The nature of the time cost trade-off algorithm is not challenging and can be solved heuristically. In this study, a spreadsheet application is developed by utilizing in-app excel functions to identify the critical activities of the project and the paths of the project. The construction schedule is entered to the spreadsheet application as acticity on arrow diagram and the logical relationships between the activities are defined. Forward and backward pass computations are given as formulations which includes the actual activity durations. The developed application calculates the crashing costs of the critical activities and highlights the activities with the cheapest crashing costs. Prepaperd spreadsheet application implements a heuristic solution algorithm which is based on minimum cost slope of the construction activities. The user can easily execute the proposed or user selected crashing alternative and the schedule is updated according to the selection. The application is tested on 6 activity project and the optimum solution is obtained by crashing the activities sequentially. The proposed technique can be utilized to reduce the total project cost of the construction sector.

Realising Quality Control of Metal Products Used in Industry Through Deep Learning
type: item
description: This study was carried out with the aim of detecting the defects on the surfaces of metallic products, which are frequently encountered in our daily lives and widely used in industry, with deep learning. Many metal products in the industry undergo different processes during the production phase. As a result of these processes, the detection of defects such as breakage, cracking, etc. on the surfaces of metal products is carried out by quality control personnel or production personnel. However, this error detection made by manpower both slows down production and causes overlooked errors. In order to easily detect these defects, in our study, we used a dataset consisting of 285 images in total with images of two different surface defects and images containing flawless metal parts and a CNN architecture, ResNet50 architecture, to defects. There are three classes in total in the dataset. Two of these classes consist of images of different types of defects on the surface of the metal piston part used in air conditioners, and one of them consists of images of perfect metal piston parts. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method was used to determine the features of the images. Precision, recall, F1-Score and accuracy metrics were used to measure the performance of the model. With the ResNet50 architecture, defects on the surfaces of metal piston parts are detected quickly and with high accuracy. As a result of the study, it was suggested that the proposed model can detect surface defects that occur in the usage areas of metal products in various sectors more quickly and accurately using deep learning. This shows that the quality control problems experienced in the industry can be reduced by using deep learning, saving time and manpower.

type: item
description: In addition to its nutritional properties, raisins are also a beneficial food in terms of health due to its vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phenolic compounds. Turkey ranks first in global raisin production with a production capacity of 24%. Many problems are encountered in the classification of raisins according to their type and quality by traditional methods. In order to overcome these problems, artificial intelligence systems, whose usage area is increasing day by day, are utilized. In this study, raisin grains were classified using 3 different Artificial Neural Network (ANN) methods using the ‘Raisin’ dataset from the UCI Machine Learning Repository. Performance measurements of Competitive Layer Neural Network (CLNN), Pattern Recognition Artificial Neural Network (PRNN) and Self-Organizing Map (SOM) methods used in classification were performed. In the obtained performance measurements, PRNN has the highest success, while SOM is weaker compared to the other two methods. CLNN, on the other hand, remains at similar levels to PRNN and offers a good alternative to PRNN.

Performance Evaluation of Machine Learning Algorithms in Estimating Taxi Times at Istanbul Airport
type: item
description: This article evaluates the performance of regression algorithms used to estimate taxi-out times at Istanbul Airport. Artificial neural networks, random forest, gradient boosting, and decision trees algorithms were studied to determine the algorithms with the highest accuracy. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to reduce the data's dimensionality and improve model performance. The findings of the study provide valuable insights for more effective management of airport operations and reduction of flight delays. PCA-applied Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) emerged as the most successful algorithm, demonstrating the highest accuracy (R²: 95.89%) and lowest error margins (MAE: 0.016, MSE: 0.001) in predicting taxi-out times. This superior performance indicates that ANN can effectively capture the complex relationships and variability inherent in airport operational data. Following ANN, the PCA-applied Random Forest algorithm also showed commendable accuracy (R²: 94.89%), providing robust predictions with slightly higher error margins (MAE: 0.157, MSE: 0.044) compared to ANN. These results underline the potential of using advanced machine learning techniques to enhance the efficiency of airport operations, thereby minimizing delays and optimizing resource allocation. Overall, the application of these machine learning models, particularly ANN and Random Forest, offers a significant improvement over traditional methods. The study's outcomes suggest that incorporating these advanced algorithms can lead to more accurate predictions of taxi-out times, supporting better decision-making processes and operational strategies at airports.

type: item
description: There are many ocular diseases present in the world. These diseases may arise from factors such as genetic predisposition, environmental influences, and aging. In recent years, advancements in technology have facilitated the detection of ocular pathologies through machine learning techniques. Machine learning models can serve as decision support mechanisms in diagnostic scenarios. In this study, the aim is to detect ocular diseases using machine learning and deep learning techniques. To enhance the results obtained from classification with 4,217 images in the study, 705 images were added to the glaucoma class and 370 images were added to the Diabetic Retinopathy class. The supplemented dataset with additional images comprises a total of four classes. One class represents the control group and is labeled as "normal." The remaining three classes represent disease categories: Diabetic Retinopathy, Cataract, and Glaucoma. To extract deep features from the images, a pre-trained InceptionV3 model was utilized, resulting in 2048 features extracted. These extracted features were then classified using Neural Network (NN), Logistic Regression (LR), k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN), and Random Forest (RF) machine learning models. Before the dataset supplemented with additional images, the classification accuracies of the machine learning models were as NN 89.2%, LR 87.3%, k-NN 81.2%, and Random Forest 76.9%. Upon examining the classification accuracies after dataset supplemented with additional images, the following improvements were observed: NN 90.9% with a 1.7% increase, LR 90.2% with a 2.9% increase, k-NN 84.6% with a 3.4% increase, and Random Forest 82% with a 5.1% increase. Performance evaluation was conducted using recall, precision, and F-1 score metrics. Additionally, the learning performance of the machine learning models was assessed through Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves and Area Under Curve (AUC) values.

description: Developments in artificial intelligence have led to positive developments in many fields. Sentiment analysis, one of these areas, has become more applicable with the models and architectures developed. In this study, emotion detection and emotion analysis were performed on the transcribed data of Turkish voice recordings. In the emotion detection phase, after the emotional states (positive, negative, neutral) of the data were detected with BERT and ELECTRA models, which are transformer-based structures, machine learning algorithms were used in the accuracy analysis of these emotional states and the Google Colaboratory platform was used in the application phase. Naive Bayes, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine and Logistic Regression algorithms were used in the accuracy analysis. As a result of the study, both Naive Bayes and Logistic Regression algorithms achieved the best accuracy rate in emotion detection with the BERT model with a rate of 70%. In emotion detection with the ELECTRA model, both Random Forest and Logistic Regression algorithms achieved the best accuracy rate of 72%. BERT and ELECTRA methods are used to provide a better understanding of understanding and classification of emotional content in Turkish texts and contribute to the development of sentiment analysis-based applications. In addition, two Turkish emotion data sets were obtained, and by using more than one method in emotion analysis, our study has been a unique study in the field, allowing the analysis of the study to be done more effectively.

Detection of Emergency Words with Automatic Image Based Lip Reading Method
type: item
description: Lip reading automation can play a crucial role in ensuring or enhancing security at noisy and large-scale events such as concerts, rallies, public meetings, and more by detecting emergency keywords. In this study, the aim is to automatically detect emergency words from the lip movements of a person using images extracted from silent video frames. To achieve this goal, an original dataset consisting of silent video images in which 8 emergency words were spoken by different 14 speakers was used. The lip regions of the images obtained from the videos in the dataset were labeled through relevant region detection. Labeled data were then evaluated using the SSD (Single Shot MultiBox Detector) deep learning method. Subsequently, subsets of labeled data with 8, 6, and 4 classes were created. The SSD algorithm was evaluated separately for each of these subsets. During the training of the SSD algorithm, weight initialization methods such as 'he,' 'glorot,' and 'narrow-normal' were used, and their performances were compared. Additionally, the SSD algorithm was trained with two different values of the maxepochs parameter, which were 20 and 30, respectively. According to the results, the lowest accuracy value was found for the 8-class subset, with an accuracy of 42% obtained using 20 epochs of training and the 'narrow-normal' weight initialization method. The highest accuracy value was achieved for the 4-class subset, with an accuracy of 76% obtained using the 30 epochs of training and the 'glorot' weight initialization method.

A Detailed Analysis of Detecting Heart Diseases Using Artificial Intelligence Methods
type: item
description: Hearts are crucial for maintaining a healthy lifestyle and are ranked high among the organs that need special care. Globally, heart disease is one of the leading causes of death, posing a considerable public health challenge in low-income countries in particular. Early diagnosis and the identification of risk factors are critical when dealing with these diseases, as early symptoms are often not evident. Heart disease can be caused by several factors, including smoking, poor diet, stress, a lack of physical activity, and excessive alcohol consumption. During the diagnosis process, doctors may encounter various challenges, including vague symptoms, misleading test results, and other medical complications. It is currently possible to diagnose heart disease more accurately and effectively using machine learning algorithms. The present study examines seven different machine learning algorithms on a dataset consisting of 4,238 records and 16 different patient characteristics. Among the classification models, Naive Bayes, Decision Trees, Random Forests, Support Vector Machines (SVM), Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), K Nearest Neighbors, and Logistic Regressions yielded 78.9%, 79.9%, 83.9%, 70.9%, 83.7%, 83.4%, and 85.5%, respectively.

Digitization and Archiving of Company Invoices using Deep Learning and Text Recognition-Processing Techniques
type: item
description: Nowadays, it is crucial to transfer official documents such as invoices, dispatch notes, and receipts into digital environments and establish correct semantic relationships. However, understanding and processing these documents is a difficult process that requires significant time and effort. In recent years, the use of deep learning, image preprocessing, text detection, and optical character recognition (OCR) technologies have made this process easier. However, for text recognition and processing techniques to produce accurate results, documents must be clean and readable. Additionally, difficulties arising from time-consuming, tiring, error-prone, and cost-incurring human-powered digitalization processes must be reduced. The aim of this study is to digitize and archive scanned invoices and similar official documents using current artificial intelligence technologies, thereby enabling the most effective use of components such as time, cost, and human resources. The dataset used in the study includes 10,000 ".jpg" image files and 10,000 ".xml" data files. The model trained with the ResNet-50 architecture can detect text with accuracy rates of up to 97% on randomly selected images from the dataset. In an environment where a person can process an average of 2,112 documents per month, it is predicted that the trained artificial intelligence model can process 108,000 documents per month. With this developed method, businesses can quickly digitize and archive official documents such as invoices, dispatch notes, and receipts. Future studies propose the development of new methods that can produce better results using larger and more diverse datasets.

description: In this study, the potential of machine learning methods for analyzing future needs in the logistics sector was investigated. The research is conducted using the MATLAB platform. Numeric pallet demand data obtained from a logistics company are employed to train MLP, LSTM, and CNN models. Data security and confidentiality take priority during the data collection process. This dataset, comprising a total of 3,062 daily records, serves as the primary data source for the study. In the data preprocessing phase, missing or erroneous data is rectified, and outliers are detected and corrected. The models are tested to predict pallet quantities over periods of 25 days and 4 weeks. The results are evaluated by comparing the model predictions with actual data. Model performances are assessed using metrics such as MSE, RMSE, NRMSE, MAE, ESD, and RC. The outcomes of the last 25 days demonstrate that the LSTM model exhibits the lowest MSE (6,410.5571) and RMSE (80.0660) values. For the MLP model, the MSE value is calculated as 20,536.5564, and the RMSE value is 143.3058. Performance evaluations for the CNN model yield an MSE of 8,492.4297 and an RMSE of 92.1544. Furthermore, it is observed that the MLP model provides the best results for the 4-week forecasts. The results of this study indicate the success of the models used for predicting pallet transportation quantities in the logistics sector. In addition to this study, a contribution is made toward enabling logistics companies to make more informed and strategic decisions.

Visualization of Interest Level using OpenPose with Class Videos
type: item
description: The approach from the teacher's side to improve the classroom is to establish a learning discipline and an improvement method. However, there are various ways to do this, and it is an important part of teachers' work. In this paper, we propose a system for estimating the level of interest from class videos as a means of knowing the learning status of individual students. Using OpenPose, the system detects a person in a class video and extracts feature data of his/her joints. And we measure the concentration level based on the information of posture, facial orientation, and other movements. In addition, assuming that a person's face is facing the direction of the target when he/she is concentrating, we measure the concentration level based on the information of posture, facial direction, and other movements.

Simple AR Method for Rehabilitation Support System Based on 3D Pose Estimation
type: item
description: Studies have been conducted on the application of Augmented Reality to support rehabilitation of motor function recovery. The goal of these studies is to facilitate functional recovery training through patient interaction with virtual objects generated by AR. Many of them use special devices such as depth sensors to superimpose virtual objects at appropriate positions in images, but a simple method that does not require such a device is desired. In order to realize superimposition using only a personal computer (PC) with a camera, this study utilizes a deep neural network that estimates the 3-dimensional (3D) coordinates of keypoints, such as human joints, from camera images. Specifically, a coordinate transformation matrix for superimposition is calculated from the 3D coordinates of keypoints. In order to clarify the effectiveness of this method, we conducted an experiment to evaluate the superimposition accuracy. The results show that the accuracy was highest in the space near the keypoints that had been used to compute the coordinate transformation matrix, and the accuracy was even higher when the number of keypoints was small. This indicates that this method is more suitable for localized training such as hand rehabilitation than for whole-body training. Since this method can be used only with a PC with a camera, it is expected to be widely used for rehabilitation support.
