Due to the ubiquity of space-related and time-related information, the ability of a database system to deal with both spatial and temporal phenomenon facts in a spatiotemporal applications is highly desired. However, uncertain and fuzzy information in these applications highly increases the complexity of database modeling. In this paper we introduce a semantic data modeling approach for spatiotemporal database applications. We specifically focus on various aspects of spatial and temporal database issues and uncertainty and fuzziness in various abstract levels. The semantic data model that we introduce in this paper utilizes unified modeling language (UML) for handling spatiotemporal information, uncertainty, and fuzziness especially at the conceptual level of database design. An environmental information system (EIS) application is used to illustrate our modeling approach and extension made to UML. By incorporating uncertainty and fuzziness into the semantic data model of a spatiotemporal EIS database application, one can handle pollution summary, analysis, and even pollution predictions, in addition to the other common uses of a database system.

Fuzzy querying im XML databases Üstünkaya, Ekin; Yazıcı, Adnan; Department of Computer Engineering (2004) Real-world information containing subjective opinions and judgments has emerged the need to represent complex and imprecise data in databases. Additionally, the challenge of transferring information between databases whose data storage methods are not compatible has been an important research topic. Extensible Markup Language (XML) has the potential to meet these challenges since it has the ability to represent complex and imprecise data. In this thesis, an XML based fuzzy data representation and querying s...
Data mining in deductive databases using query flocks Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı (Elsevier BV, 2005-04-01) Data mining can be defined as a process for finding trends and patterns in large data. An important technique for extracting useful information, such as regularities, from usually historical data, is called as association rule mining. Most research on data mining is concentrated on traditional relational data model. On the other hand, the query flocks technique, which extends the concept of association rule mining with a 'generate-and-test' model for different kind of patterns, can also be applied to deduct...
Fuzzy spatial data cube construction and its use in association rule mining Işık, Narin; Yazıcı, Adnan; Department of Computer Engineering (2005) The popularity of spatial databases increases since the amount of the spatial data that need to be handled has increased by the use of digital maps, images from satellites, video cameras, medical equipment, sensor networks, etc. Spatial data are difficult to examine and extract interesting knowledge; hence, applications that assist decision-making about spatial data like weather forecasting, traffic supervision, mobile communication, etc. have been introduced. In this thesis, more natural and precise knowle...
Deep convolutional neural networks with an application towards geospatial object recognition / Batı, Emrecan; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) The passion of human-being to invent intelligent systems becomes more and more meaningful day by day, as the data captured every second by artificial sensors needs to be examined and classified for many applications. The processing of ever-increasing amount of data by defining information explicitly seems nearly impossible, regarding the variability and the amount of the information, which reveals the need for intelligent systems that are capable of learning. Deep learning is a set of algorithms that attemp...
Crossing: a framework to develop knowledge-based recommenders in cross domains Azak, Mustafa; Birtürk, Ayşe Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) Over the last decade, excess amount of information is being provided on the web and information filtering systems such as recommender systems have become one of the most important technologies to overcome the „Information Overload‟ problem by providing personalized services to users. Several researches have been made to improve quality of recommendations and provide maximum user satisfaction within a single domain based on the domain specific knowledge. However, the current infrastructures of the recommende...
