Most strong-motion data processing involves acausal low-cut filtering, which requires the addition of sometimes lengthy zero pads to the data. These padded sections are commonly removed by organizations supplying data, but this can lead to incompatibilities in measures of ground motion derived in the usual way from the padded and the pad-stripped data. One way around this is to use the correct initial conditions in the pad-stripped time series when computing displacements, velocities, and linear oscillator response. Another way of ensuring compatibility is to use postprocessing of the pad-stripped acceleration time series. Using 4071 horizontal and vertical acceleration time series from the Turkish strong-motion database, we show that the procedures used by two organizations-ITACA (ITalian ACcelerometric Archive) and PEER NGA (Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center-Next Generation Attenuation)-lead to little bias and distortion of derived seismic-intensity measures.

A clustering method for web data with multi-type interrelated components Bolelli, Levent; Ertekin Bolelli, Şeyda; Zhou, Ding; Giles, C Lee (2007-05-08) Traditional clustering algorithms work on "flat" data, making the assumption that the data instances can only be represented by a set of homogeneous and uniform features. Many real world data, however, is heterogeneous in nature, comprising of multiple types of interrelated components. We present a clustering algorithm, K-SVMeans, that integrates the well known K-Means clustering with the highly popular Support Vector Machines(SVM) in order to utilize the richness of data. Our experimental results on author...
A Content Boosted Collaborative Filtering Approach for Movie Recommendation Based on Local Global Similarity and Missing Data Prediction Özbal, Gözde; Kahraman, Hilal; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur (2010-09-22) Many recommender systems lack in accuracy when the data used throughout the recommendation process is sparse. Our study addresses this limitation by means of a content boosted collaborative filtering approach applied to the task of movie recommendation. We combine two different approaches previously proved to be successful individually and improve over them by processing the content information of movies, as confirmed by our empirical evaluation results.
Using Social Networks to Solve Data Sparsity Problem in One-Class Collaborative Filtering KAYA, hamza; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur (2010-04-14) One-Class Collaborative Filtering (OCCF) problems are more problematic than traditional collaborative filtering problems, since OCCF datasets lack counter-examples. Social networks can be used to remedy dataset issues faced by OCCF applications. In this work, we compare social networks belong to specific domains and the ones belong to more generic domains in terms of their usability in OCCF problems. Our experiments show that social networks that belong to a specific domain may better be appropriate for use...
A Content-Boosted Collaborative Filtering Approach for Movie Recommendation Based on Local and Global Similarity and Missing Data Prediction Özbal, Gozde; Karaman, Hilal; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2011-09-01) Most traditional recommender systems lack accuracy in the case where data used in the recommendation process is sparse. This study addresses the sparsity problem and aims to get rid of it by means of a content-boosted collaborative filtering approach applied to a web-based movie recommendation system. The main motivation is to investigate whether further success can be obtained by combining 'local and global user similarity' and 'effective missing data prediction' approaches, which were previously introduce...
Fast feature extraction from 3D point cloud Tarçın, Serkan; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013) To teleoperate an unmanned vehicle a rich set of information should be gathered from surroundings.These systems use sensors which sends high amounts of data and processing the data in CPUs can be time consuming. Similarly, the algorithms that use the data may work slow because of the amount of the data. The solution is, preprocessing the data taken from the sensors on the vehicle and transmitting only the necessary parts or the results of the preprocessing. In this thesis a 180 degree laser scanner at the f...
