Improving the efficiency of graph-based concept discovery systems
Abay, Nazmiye Ceren; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2014)
Concept discovery is a process for finding hidden relations from the given set of experiences named as background knowledge [27]. Concept discovery problems are investigated under Inductive Logic Programming (ILP)-based approaches and graph-based approaches [28]. Although ILP-based systems dominate the area, these systems have some problems such as local maxima and local plateaus [15]. Recently, graph based system becomes more popular due to its flexible structure, clear representation of data and ability o...
Improving Computational Efficiency of Particle Swarm Optimization for Optimal Structural Design
Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (2013-06-01)
This paper attempts to improve the computational efficiency of the well known particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm for tackling discrete sizing optimization problems of steel frame structures. It is generally known that, in structural design optimization applications, PSO entails enormously time-consuming structural analyses to locate an optimum solution. Hence, in the present study it is attempted to lessen the computational effort of the algorithm, using the so called upper bound strategy (UBS), wh...
Improving Computational Efficiency of Bat-Inspired Algorithm in Optimal Structural Design
Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (2015-07-01)
Bat-inspired (BI) algorithm is a recent metaheuristic optimization technique that simulates echolocation behavior of bats in seeking a design space. Along the same line with almost all metaheuristics, this algorithm also entails a large number of time-consuming structural analyses in structural design optimization applications. This study is focused on improving computational efficiency of the BI algorithm in optimum structural design. The number of structural analyses required by BI algorithm in the course...
Improving performance of network intrusion detection systems through concurrent mechanisms
Atakan, Mustafa; Şener, Cevat; Department of Computer Engineering (2003)
As the bandwidth of present networks gets larger than the past, the demand of Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) that function in real time becomes the major requirement for high-speed networks. If these systems are not fast enough to process all network traffic passing, some malicious security violations may take role using this drawback. In order to make that kind of applications schedulable, some concurrency mechanism is introduced to the general flowchart of their algorithm. The principal aim is...
Improving deformation characteristics of sand soils using bio-improvement methods
Tunalı, Mert; Pekcan, Onur; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
Utilizing biological processes is new and innovative method which can be used to improve engineering properties of soils in an environmentally friendly way. In this study, a recently introduced bio-improvement method named microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is used to improve the strength and deformation characteristics of soft soils. For that purpose, ureolytic bacteria were utilized to improve the strength properties of soils. Ureolytic bacteria can induce enzymatic hydrolysis of urea, which...
