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 interaction prediction techniques have made great amount of protein-protein interaction data available for genomes. As a consequence, a systematic visualization and analysis technique has become crucial. To the best of our knowledge, no PPI visualization tool consider multi-resolution viewing of PPI network. In this thesis, we implemented a new approach for PPI network visualization which supports multi-resolution viewing of compound graphs. We construct compound nodes and label them by using gene set enrichment methods based on Gene Ontology annotations. This thesis further suggests new methods for PPI network visualization.

Using social graphs in one-class collaborative filtering problem Kaya, Hamza; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2009) 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 weig...
Improving search result clustering by integrating semantic information from Wikipedia Çallı, Çağatay; Üçoluk, Göktürk; Şehitoğlu, Onur Tolga; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) Suffix Tree Clustering (STC) is a search result clustering (SRC) algorithm focused on generating overlapping clusters with meaningful labels in linear time. It showed the feasibility of SRC but in time, subsequent studies introduced description-first algorithms that generate better labels and achieve higher precision. Still, STC remained as the fastest SRC algorithm and there appeared studies concerned with different problems of STC. In this thesis, semantic relations between cluster labels and documents ar...
Data integration over horizontally partitioned databases in service-oriented data grids Sunercan, Hatice Kevser Sönmez; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Alpdemir, Mahmut Nedim; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) Information integration over distributed and heterogeneous resources has been challenging in many terms: coping with various kinds of heterogeneity including data model, platform, access interfaces; coping with various forms of data distribution and maintenance policies, scalability, performance, security and trust, reliability and resilience, legal issues etc. It is obvious that each of these dimensions deserves a separate thread of research efforts. One particular challenge among the ones listed above tha...
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...
Learning customized and optimized lists of rules with mathematical programming Rudin, Cynthia; Ertekin Bolelli, Şeyda (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-12-01) We introduce a mathematical programming approach to building rule lists, which are a type of interpretable, nonlinear, and logical machine learning classifier involving IF-THEN rules. Unlike traditional decision tree algorithms like CART and C5.0, this method does not use greedy splitting and pruning. Instead, it aims to fully optimize a combination of accuracy and sparsity, obeying user-defined constraints. This method is useful for producing non-black-box predictive models, and has the benefit of a clear ...
