Deep learning-based approaches have shown highly successful performance in the categorization of digitized biopsy samples. The commonly used setting in these approaches is to employ convolutional neural networks for classification of data sets consisting of images all having the same size. However, the clinical practice in breast histopathology necessitates multi-class categorization of regions of interest (ROI) in biopsy samples where these regions can have arbitrary shapes and sizes. The typical solution to this problem is to aggregate the classification results of fixed-sized patches cropped from these images to obtain image-level classification scores. Another limitation of these approaches is the independent processing of individual patches where the rich contextual information in the complex tissue structures has not yet been sufficiently exploited. We propose a generic methodology to incorporate local inter-patch context through a graph convolution network (GCN) that admits a graph-based ROI representation. The proposed GCN model aims to propagate information over neighboring patches in a progressive manner towards classifying the whole ROI into a diagnostic class. The experiments using a challenging data set for a 4-class ROI-level classification task and comparisons with several baseline approaches show that the proposed model that incorporates the spatial context by using graph convolutional layers performs better than commonly used fusion rules.

Mesh Learning for Object Classification using fMRI Measurements Ekmekci, Ömer; Ozay, Mete; Oztekin, Ilke; GİLLAM, İLKE; Oztekin, Uygar (2013-09-18) Machine learning algorithms have been widely used as reliable methods for modeling and classifying cognitive processes using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data. In this study, we aim to classify fMRI measurements recorded during an object recognition experiment. Previous studies focus on Multi Voxel Pattern Analysis (MVPA) which feeds a set of active voxels in a concatenated vector form to a machine learning algorithm to train and classify the cognitive processes. In most of the MVPA methods,...
Analysis of Face Recognition Algorithms for Online and Automatic Annotation of Personal Videos Yılmaztürk, Mehmet; Ulusoy Parnas, İlkay; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan (Springer, Dordrecht; 2010-05-08) Different from previous automatic but offline annotation systems, this paper studies automatic and online face annotation for personal videos/episodes of TV series considering Nearest Neighbourhood, LDA and SVM classification with Local Binary Patterns, Discrete Cosine Transform and Histogram of Oriented Gradients feature extraction methods in terms of their recognition accuracies and execution times. The best performing feature extraction method and the classifier pair is found out to be SVM classification...
Multi-perspective analysis and systematic benchmarking for binary-classification performance evaluation instruments Canbek, Gürol; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Department of Information Systems (2019) This thesis proposes novel methods to analyze and benchmark binary-classification performance evaluation instruments. It addresses critical problems found in the literature, clarifies terminology and distinguishes instruments as measure, metric, and as a new category indicator for the first time. The multi-perspective analysis introduces novel concepts such as canonical form, geometry, duality, complementation, dependency, and leveling with formal definitions as well as two new basic instruments. An indicat...
Rapid ionic liquid-supported nano-hybrid composite reinforced hollow-fiber electromembrane extraction followed by field-amplified sample injection-capillary electrophoresis: An effective approach for extraction and quantification of Imatinib mesylate in human plasma Forough, Mehrdad; Farhadi, Khalil; Eyshi, Ali; Molaei, Rahim; Khalili, Hedayat; Kouzegaran, Vahid Javan; Matin, Amir Abbas (2017-09-01) The focus of this study is development of a new, convenient, rapid and sensitive electromembrane extraction approach (based on an ionic liquid-supported MWCNTs/ZnO reinforced hollow fiber, for the first time) as an off-line sample clean-upipreconcentration method coupled with capillary electrophoresis (CE-UV) using field-amplified sample injection (FASI) for quantification of Imatinib mesylate in human plasma. The nano-hybrid sorbent, coated by 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ionic liquid (E0M1m]Br) in ...
Robust multiobjective evolutionary feature subset selection algorithm for binary classification using machine learning techniques Deniz, Ayca; Kiziloz, Hakan Ezgi; Dokeroglu, Tansel; Coşar, Ahmet (2017-06-07) This study investigates the success of a multiobjective genetic algorithm (GA) combined with state-of-the-art machine learning (ML) techniques for the feature subset selection (FSS) in binary classification problem (BCP). Recent studies have focused on improving the accuracy of BCP by including all of the features, neglecting to determine the best performing subset of features. However, for some problems, the number of features may reach thousands, which will cause too much computation power to be consumed ...
