Ergezer, Hamza
In this thesis, feature covariance matrices are utilized to solve several problems related to time series. In the first part of the thesis, a novel representation is proposed to represent the time series using feature covariance matrices. By this representation, time series are carried onto Riemannian manifold space. The proposed representation is firstly applied to trajectories which are essentially 2D time series. Anomaly detection and activity perception problems in crowded visual scenes are studied by using the trajectories. The second utilization of the proposed representation is for classification of 1D time series. The feature covariance matrices of overlapping subsequences are extracted and fed into two well-known classifiers as the input. The last contribution of the thesis is a rank-based distance measure for high dimensional covariance matrices. The distance measure is utilized to solve skeletal action recognition problem. Unlike classical distance measures, the rank-based distance measure enables us to learn the manifold structure. For this reason, essentially, it can be asserted that the proposed approach is about manifold learning. Performances of the approaches proposed in this thesis have been compared to most of the state-of-the-art techniques on publicly available well-known datasets. For all of the studied problems, we achieve comparable or outperforming results compared to the state-of-the-art techniques.

Time series classification with feature covariance matrices
Ergezer, Hamza; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2018-06-01)
In this work, a novel approach utilizing feature covariance matrices is proposed for time series classification. In order to adapt the feature covariance matrices into time series classification problem, a feature vector is defined for each point in a time series. The feature vector comprises local and global information such as value, derivative, rank, deviation from the mean, the time index of the point and cumulative sum up to the point. Extracted feature vectors for the time instances are concatenated t...
Time Series Classification Using Point-wise Features

Time filtered second order backward Euler method for EMAC formulation of Navier-Stokes equations
Demir, Medine; Çıbık, Aytekin; Kaya Merdan, Songül (2022-12-15)
© 2022 Elsevier Inc.This paper considers the backward Euler based linear time filtering method for the developed energy-momentum-angular momentum conserving (EMAC) formulation of the time dependent-incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the case of weakly enforced divergence constraint. The method adds time filtering as a post-processing step to the EMAC formulation to enhance the accuracy and to improve the approximate solutions. We show that in comparison with the Backward-Euler based EMAC formulation ...
Tensor form factors of the octet hyperons in QCD
Küçükarslan, Ayşe; Özdem, Ulaş; Özpineci, Altuğ (American Physical Society (APS), 2016-11-11)
Light-cone QCD sum rules to leading order in QCD are used to investigate the tensor form factors of the Sigma-Sigma,Xi-Xi, and Sigma-Lambda transitions in the range 1 GeV2 <= Q(2) <= 10 GeV2. The DAs of Sigma,Xi, and. baryon have been calculated without higher-order terms. Then, studies including higher-order corrections have been done for the Sigma and. baryon Lambda The resulting form factors are obtained using these two DAs. We make a comparison with the predictions of the chiral quark soliton model.
Semi-Bayesian Inference of Time Series Chain Graphical Models in Biological Networks
Farnoudkia, Hajar; Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda (null; 2018-09-20)
The construction of biological networks via time-course datasets can be performed both deterministic models such as ordinary differential equations and stochastic models such as diffusion approximation. Between these two branches, the former has wider application since more data can be available. In this study, we particularly deal with the probabilistic approaches for the steady-state or deterministic description of the biological systems when the systems are observed though time. Hence, we consider time s...
