Given set of web pages labeled with ontological items, the level of similarity between two web pages is measured using the level of similarity between ontological items of pages labeled with. Using similarity measure between two pages, degree of similarity between two sequences of web page visits can be calculated as well. Using clustering algorithms, similar frequent sequences are grouped and representative sequences are selected from these groups. A new sequence is compared with all clusters and it is assigned to most similar one. Representatives of the most similar cluster can be used in several real world cases. They can be used for predicting and prefetching the next page user will visit or for helping the navigation of user in the website. They can also be used to improve the structure of website for easier navigation. In this study the effect of time spent on each web page during the session is analyzed.

Joint Utilization of Appearance, Geometry and Chance for Scene Logo Retrieval
Soysal, Medeni; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2011-07-01)
A novel approach involving the comparison of appearance and geometrical similarity of local patterns via a combined description is presented. Candidate groups of interest points are identified based on unlikeliness of being matched by chance. For each of the keypoints in these groups, a novel description is proposed. This description utilizes quantized appearance descriptors of interest points to avoid the necessity of matching each test descriptor to each template descriptor. Additionally, one-to-many matc...
Recursive shortest spaning tree algorithms for image segmentation
Bayramoğlu, Neslihan Yalçın; Bazlamaçcı, Cüneyt Fehmi; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
Image segmentation has an important role in image processing because it is a tool to obtain higher level object descriptions for further processing. In some applications such as large image databases or video image sequence segmentations, the speed of the segmentation algorithm may become a drawback of the application. This thesis work is a study to improve the run-time performance of a well-known segmentation algorithm, namely the Recursive Shortest Spanning Tree (RSST). Both the original and the fast RSST...
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...
Comparison of rough multi layer perceptron and rough radial basis function networks using fuzzy attributes
Vural, Hülya; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2004)
The hybridization of soft computing methods of Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks, Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural networks with back-propagation learning, fuzzy sets and rough sets are studied in the scope of this thesis. Conventional MLP, conventional RBF, fuzzy MLP, fuzzy RBF, rough fuzzy MLP, and rough fuzzy RBF networks are compared. In the fuzzy neural networks implemented in this thesis, the input data and the desired outputs are given fuzzy membership values as the fuzzy properties أlow...
Selective word encoding for effective text representation
Ozkan, Savas; Ozkan, Akin (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2019-01-01)
Determining the category of a text document from its semantic content is highly motivated in the literature and it has been extensively studied in various applications. Also, the compact representation of the text is a fundamental step in achieving precise results for the applications and the studies are generously concentrated to improve its performance. In particular, the studies which exploit the aggregation of word-level representations are the mainstream techniques used in the problem. In this paper, w...
