Easier access to computers, mobile devices, and availability of the Internet have given people the opportunity to use social media more frequently and with more convenience. Social media comes in many forms, including blogs, forums, business networks, review sites, and social networks. Therefore, social media generates massive sources of information in the shape of users‘ views, opinions, and arguments about various products, services, social events, and politics. By well-structuring and analysing this kind of data we can obtain significant feedbacks about products and services. This area of research is typically called sentiment analysis or opinion mining. In the last decade, this field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) has witnessed a fascinating progress due to Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are one of the main types of DNN architectures which are used at modelling units in sequence. They have been successfully used for sequence labelling and sequence prediction tasks, such as handwriting recognition, language modelling, machine translation, and sentiment analysis. Most of the studies carried on sentiment analysis using RNNs have been focused on English texts and some researches have studied on different languages. In this thesis, sentiment classification using RNNs is applied on Turkish reviews domain. Additionally, different types of word representations are used to achieve acceptable results. This dissertation presents a description of the considered model architectures and comparison of them with various word representations on two Turkish movie reviews datasets. Generally, our experimental results show that RNN models achieve reasonably good results on Turkish texts as on English texts and choice of different word representations can improve the performance of the approaches.

With the advances in information technologies, the amount of available data on web sources where people express their opinions increases continually. Sentiment analysis supports decision-makers in gaining insights from massive heaps of data. It has gained much attraction recently as it has proven to be a practical tool in a wide range of areas, including monitoring public opinion. Nevertheless, sentiment analysis research is still facing some challenges. One of the main challenges is the irrelevant and redu...

© 2022 Elsevier LtdWith the increase in the use of mobile devices having location-related capabilities, the use of Location-Based Social Networks (LBSN) has also increased, allowing users to share location-embedded information with other users in the social network. By leveraging check-in activities provided by LBSNs, personalized recommendations can be provided. Trust is an important concept in social networks to improve recommendation quality. In this work, we develop a method for predicting the trust sco...
StreamMARS: A Streaming Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines Algorithm
Batmaz, İnci (2019-12-14)
Computers and internet have become inevitable parts of our life in the 1990s, and afterwards, bulk of data are started being recorded in digital platforms automatically. To extract meaningful patterns from such data computational methods are developed in data mining and machine learning domains. Multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) is one such method successfully applied to off-line static data for prediction. In about last ten years, we face with the big data problem due to the steady increase i...
Double network superresolution
Tarhan, Cem; Bozdağı Akar, Gözde.; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019)
As the social platforms became widespread, the image and video based materials are being shared continuously and increasingly each day. This not only brings an issue of storage but also internet bandwidth usage. In order for a user to effectively run a superresolution (SR) algorithm on a mobile device, a light-weight but good performing algorithm must be designed. In recent years, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely used for SR. Although their indisputable success, CNNs lack proper mathema...
