Soyak, Elmas
In this thesis, a novel deep architecture capsule networks are investigated for hyperspectral data classification purposes. Even though this algorithm resembles convolutional neural networks (CNN), which is one of the most successful methods in classification, capsule networks have been developed to overcome the limitations of it. CNN applies convolution operation to extract features in the samples and uses these features to classify them. However, it fails to measure the relationship between these features. Moreover, pooling operation that is used in CNN to reduce the number of parameters results in loss of position information and thus decreases the success of classifier. With the novelties proposed in capsule networks, it is intended to resolve the shortcomings of CNN mentioned above. Instantiation parameters such as position, orientation, scale of each feature are kept in a capsule, and both the presence of the relevant feature and the instantiation parameters of the feature are utilized in the classification step. In the experiments performed on hyperspectral data, the efficiency of capsule networks is evaluated by using different number and structure of training samples. A CNN algorithm with a similar structure is constructed and compared with capsule networks. Although the presented method yields successful results, it has been observed that iteration is exhausting in terms of memory and processing time.

In this study, stacked autoencoders which are widely utilized in deep learning research are applied to remote sensing domain for hyperspectral classification. High dimensional hyperspectral data is an excellent candidate for deep learning methods. However, there are no works in literature that focuses on such deep learning approaches for hyperspectral imagery. This study aims to fill this gap by utilizing stacked autoencoders. Experiments are conducted on the Pavia University scene. Using stacked autoencode...
Activity prediction from auto-captured lifelog images
Belli, Kader; Akbaş, Emre; Department of Computer Engineering (2019)
The analysis of lifelogging has generated great interest among data scientists because large-scale, multidimensional and multimodal data are generated as a result of lifelogging activities. In this study, we use the NTCIR Lifelog dataset where daily lives of two users are monitored for a total of 90 days, and archived as a set of minute-based records consisting of details like semantic location, body measurements, listening history, and user activity. In addition, images which are captured automatically by ...

Distributed Connectivity Restoration in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks via Depth Adjustment
Uzun, Erkay; ŞENEL, FATİH; Akkaya, Kemal; Yazıcı, Adnan (2015-06-12)
In most applications of Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks, network connectivity is required for data exchange, data aggregation and relaying the data to a surface station. However, such connectivity can be lost due to failure of some sensor nodes which creates disruptions to the network operations. In this paper, we present two algorithms, namely BMR and DURA, which can detect network partitioning due to such node failures and re-establish network connectivity through controlled depth adjustment of nodes ...
Mask Combination of Multi-Layer Graphs for Global Structure Inference
Bayram, Eda; Thanou, Dorina; Vural, Elif; Frossard, Pascal (2020-01-01)
Structure inference is an important task for network data processing and analysis in data science. In recent years, quite a few approaches have been developed to learn the graph structure underlying a set of observations captured in a data space. Although real-world data is often acquired in settings where relationships are influenced by a priori known rules, such domain knowledge is still not well exploited in structure inference problems. In this paper, we identify the structure of signals defined in a da...
