This paper describes an information extraction system that extracts and converts the available information in free text Turkish radiology reports into a structured information model using manually created extraction rules and domain ontology. The ontology provides flexibility in the design of extraction rules, and determines the information model for the extracted semantic information. Although our information extraction system mainly concentrates on abdominal radiology reports, the system can be used in another field of medicine by adapting its ontology and extraction rule set. We achieved very high precision and recall results during the evaluation of the developed system with unseen radiology reports.

Design and fabrication of a dna electrophoresis chip based on mems technology Sukas, Sertan; Sert, Cüneyt; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007) This thesis reports design, fabrication, and implementation of two different micro electrophoresis system architectures for DNA analyses. The first architecture is traditional single channel layout with several design alternatives for size-based separation of DNA fragments. The second one is novel double channel architecture specialized for rapid mutation detection using heteroduplex analysis (HDA) method with an application of a newly designed injection technique. Besides achieving high resolution separati...
Ontology based information extraction on free text radiological reports using natural language processing approach Soysal, Ergin; Çiçekli, İlyas; Department of Medical Informatics (2010) This thesis describes an information extraction system that is designed to process free text Turkish radiology reports in order to extract and convert the available information into a structured information model. The system uses natural language processing techniques together with domain ontology in order to transform the verbal descriptions into a target information model, so that they can be used for computational purposes. The developed domain ontology is effectively used in entity recognition and relat...
On Fuzzy Extensions to Energy Ontologies for Text Processing Applications Kucuk, Dilek; Kucuk, Dogan; Yazıcı, Adnan (2014-10-28) Ubiquitous application areas of domain ontologies include text processing applications like categorizing related documents of the domain, extraction of information from these documents, and semantic search. In this paper, we focus on the utilization of two energy ontologies, one for electrical power quality and the second for wind energy, within such applications. For this purpose, we present fuzzy extensions to these domain ontologies as fuzziness is an essential feature of the ultimate forms of the ontolo...
A proposal for tactical messaging and usage of extansible markup language message text formats in the tactical command control and information systems Sayın, Hüseyin; Coşar, Ahmet; Department of Information Systems (2003) This thesis investigates the usage area of Extensible Markup Language Message Text Format (XML-MTF) in Tactical Command and Control Information System (TC2IS). It examines the used tactical message types and their application area in Turkish Army and what the XML and XML-MTFs are explained. Finally; MTF traffic of a brigade is simulated to verify that XML technology can be used effectively in Turkish Land Forces Tactical Command Control and Information System Projects (TLF TC2IS).
Delay and Peak-Age Violation Probability in Short-Packet Transmissions Devassy, Rahul; Durisi, Giuseppe; Ferrante, Guido Carlo; Simeone, Osvaldo; Uysal, Elif (2018-06-22) This paper investigates the distribution of delay and peak age of information in a communication system where packets, generated according to an independent and identically distributed Bernoulli process, are placed in a single-server queue with first-come first-served discipline and transmitted over an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. When a packet is correctly decoded, the sender receives an instantaneous error-free positive acknowledgment, upon which it removes the packet from the buffer. In ...
