In this study, we suggest a method to adapt an image retrieval system into a configurable one. Basically, original feature space of a content-based retrieval system is nonlinearly transformed into a new space, where the distance between the feature vectors is adjusted by learning. The transformation is realized by Artificial Neural Network architecture. A cost function is defined for learning and optimized by simulated annealing method. Experiments are done on the texture image retrieval system, which use Gabor Filter features. The results indicate that configured image retrieval system is significantly better than the original system.

Learning semi-supervised nonlinear embeddings for domain-adaptive pattern recognition
Vural, Elif (null; 2019-05-20)
We study the problem of learning nonlinear data embeddings in order to obtain representations for efficient and domain-invariant recognition of visual patterns. Given observations of a training set of patterns from different classes in two different domains, we propose a method to learn a nonlinear mapping of the data samples from different domains into a common domain. The nonlinear mapping is learnt such that the class means of different domains are mapped to nearby points in the common domain in order to...
Learning Time-Vertex Dictionaries for Estimating Time-Varying Graph Signals
Acar, Abdullah Burak; Vural, Elif (2022-01-01)
In this work, we study the problem of learning time-vertex dictionaries for the modeling and estimation of time-varying graph signals. We consider a setting with a collection of partially observed time-varying graph signals, and propose a solution for the estimation of the missing signal observations by learning time-vertex dictionaries from the available observations. We adopt a time-vertex dictionary model defined through a set of joint time-vertex spectral kernels, each of which captures a different spec...
Enhancing UML Connectors with Behavioral Specifications
Kocatas, Alper Tolga; Doğru, Ali Hikmet (2022-01-01)
In this study, we propose enhancing UML connectors with additional behaviors. Associated behaviors add capability to specify exogenous coordination and capability to resolve ambiguities when n-ary connectors are used to coordinate more than two entities. We identify the challenges specific to specification of behaviors for connectors and we propose solutions for them. We argue with examples that this kind of behavioral specification suits well for reusability of both connected elements and the connectors.
Multi-subject brain decoding using deep learning techniques
Velioğlu, Burak; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Ertekin Bolelli, Şeyda; Department of Computer Engineering (2016)
In this study, a new method is proposed for analyzing and classifying images obtained by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) from multiple subjects. Considering the multi level structure of the brain and success of deep learning architectures on extracting hierarchical representations from raw data, these architectures are used in this thesis. Initially, the S500 data set collected in the scope of Human Connectome Project (HCP) is used to train formed deep neural networks in an unsupervised fashion...
Cognitive caching for the future sensors in fog networking
Al-Turjman, Fadi (Elsevier BV, 2017-12-01)
In this paper, we propose a Cognitive Caching approach for the Future Fog (CCFF) that takes into consideration the value of the exchanged data in Information Centric Sensor Networks (ICSNs). Our approach depends on four functional parameters in ICSNs. These four main parameters are: age of the data, popularity of on-demand requests, delay to receive the requested information and data fidelity. These parameters are considered together to assign a value to the cached data while retaining the most valuable one...
