One-class collaborative filtering is a special type of collaborative filtering methods that aims to deal with datasets that lack counter-examples. In this work, we introduced social networks as a new data source to the one-class collaborative filtering (OCCF) methods and sought ways to benefit from them when dealing with OCCF problems. We divided our research into two parts. In the first part, we proposed different weighting schemes based on social graphs for some well known OCCF algorithms. One of the weighting schemes we proposed outperformed our baselines for some of the datasets we used. In the second part, we focused on the dataset differences in order to find out why our algorithm performed better on some of the datasets. We compared social graphs with the graphs of users and their neighbors generated by the k-NN algorithm. Our research showed that social graphs generated from a specialized domain better improves the recommendation performance than the social graphs generated from a more generic domain.

Multi-resolution visualization of large scale protein networks enriched with gene ontology annotations Yaşar, Sevgi; Can, Tolga; Department of Computer Engineering (2009) Genome scale protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are interpreted as networks or graphs with thousands of nodes from the perspective of computer science. PPI networks represent various types of possible interactions among proteins or genes of a genome. PPI data is vital in protein function prediction since functions of the cells are performed by groups of proteins interacting with each other and main complexes of the cell are made of proteins interacting with each other. Recent increase in protein interactio...
Natural language query processing in ontology based multimedia databases Aygül, Filiz Alaca; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) In this thesis a natural language query interface is developed for semantic and spatio-temporal querying of MPEG-7 based domain ontologies. The underlying ontology is created by attaching domain ontologies to the core Rhizomik MPEG-7 ontology. The user can pose concept, complex concept (objects connected with an “AND” or “OR” connector), spatial (left, right . . . ), temporal (before, after, at least 10 minutes before, 5 minutes after . . . ), object trajectory and directional trajectory (east, west, southe...
A conformance and interoperability test suite for Turkey’s National Health Information System (NHIS) and an interactive test control and monitoring environment Sınacı, Ali Anıl; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2009) Conformance to standards and interoperability is a major challenge of today`s applications in all domains. Several standards have been developed and some are still under development to address the various layers in the interoperability stack. Conformance and interoperability testing involves checking whether the applications conform to the standards so that they can interoperate with other conformant systems. Only through testing, correct information exchange among applications can be guaranteed. National H...
Improvement of corpus-based semantic word similarity using vector space model Esin, Yunus Emre; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2009) This study presents a new approach for finding semantically similar words from corpora using window based context methods. Previous studies mainly concentrate on either finding new combination of distance-weight measurement methods or proposing new context methods. The main di fference of this new approach is that this study reprocesses the outputs of the existing methods to update the representation of related word vectors used for measuring semantic distance between words, to improve the results further. ...
Using semantic web services for data integration in banking domain Okat, Çağlar; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) A semantic model oriented transformation mechanism is developed for the centralization of intra-enterprise data integration. Such a mechanism is especially crucial in the banking domain which is selected in this study. A new domain ontology is constructed to provide basis for annotations. A bottom-up approach is preferred for semantic annotations to utilize existing web service definitions. Transformations between syntactic web service XML responses and semantic model concepts are defined in transformation ...
