This thesis presents a robust face recognition method and a combination of methods for gender identification and age group classification for semantic annotation of videos. Local binary pattern histogram which has 256 bins and pixel intensity differences are used as extracted facial features for gender classification. DCT Mod2 features and edge detection results around facial landmarks are used as extracted facial features for age group classification. In gender classification module, a Random Trees classifier is trained with LBP features and an adaboost classifier is trained with pixel intensity differences. DCT Mod2 features are used for training of a Random Trees classifier and LBP features around facial landmark points are used for training another Random Trees classifier in age group classification module. DCT Mod2 features of the detected faces morped by two dimensional face morphing method based on Active Appearance Model and Barycentric Coordinates are used as the inputs of the nearest neighbor classifier with weights obtained from the trained Random Forest classifier in face identification module. Different feature extraction methods are tried and compared and the best achievements in the face recognition module to be used in the method chosen. We compared our classification results with some successful earlier works results in our experiments performed with same datasets and got satisfactory results.

Gender clasification based on single channel EEG signal ORAL, EMİN ARGUN; ÖZBEK, İBRAHİM YÜCEL; Çodur, Muhammet Mustafa (2017-11-02) This paper presents an approach for gender recognition from single channel EEG signal. For this purpose, approximately 24 hour-long EEG data, obtained during daily routine activities including sleep, was used. First, cepstrum coefficients of EEG signals were obtained in the frequency domain to construct the features SET. Second, a machine learning step was performed using these features with Support Vector Machines (SVM). Finally, gender identification was performed on the test data for which features were ...
Eye tracking in multimodal comprehension of graphs Acartürk, Cengiz (2012-07-31) Eye tracking methodology has been a major empirical research approach for the study of online comprehension processes in reading and scene viewing. The use of eye tracking methodology for the study of diagrammatic representations, however, has been relatively limited so far. The investigation of specific types of diagrammatic representations, such as statistical graphs is even scarce. In this study, we propose eye tracking as an empirical research approach for a systematic analysis of multimodal comprehensi...
Gender role influences on Turkish adolescents' self-identity Yıldırım, Ali (1997-03-01) This study investigated gender role influences on Turkish adolescents' self-identity process as part of the International Self-Identity Research Project. A total of 154 male and 119 female adolescents ages 14 through 17 from urban and rural areas of Turkey were surveyed through a questionnaire. The results indicated that ''family'' was the dominant source of belongingness for both males and females, followed by ''friendships'' and ''school.'' Friendships and education were valued more by females than by mal...
Psychometric Properties of Turkish Version of Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale-2 and the Relationship Between Internet Use Patterns and Problematic Internet Use Caner-Yildirim, Sonay; Yıldırım, Zahide (2022-04-01) This study aimed to validate and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale-2 (GPIUS2), to categorize Internet use patterns (IUP) that are academic, social, and recreational, and to elucidate the current state of the relationships between demographic characteristics, problematic Internet use (PIU), and IUP. To this end, two studies were conducted 1 year apart at two different public universities in Turkey. The first study tested the psychome...
Azınlık kımlığe sahıp bıreylerın kültürel kımlık oluşum süreçlerı: yorumlayıcı fenomenolojık analız Büyükaşık Çolak, Canan; Gençöz, Faruk (2020-12-01) Bu makalede ‘Azınlık gruplarının üyeleri etnik kimliklerini nasıl oluştururlar?’ sorusu üzerinden etnik / kültürel kimlik oluşum süreciyle ilişkili deneyimler analiz edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu amaçla çalışmada niteliksel metodoloji kullanılmış ve veri analizleri Yorumlayıcı Fenomenolojik Analiz kılavuzu ve adımlarına göre yapılmıştır. Arap Alevi toplumundan dokuz katılımcıyla yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme yoluyla, neredeyse bir hafta arayla iki kez görüşülmüş ve her görüşme neredeyse 50 dakika sürmüştür. Kat...
