Big Data is believed to be one of the most important phenomena of the century due to its transformative effects and those undeniable effects of the data deluge in the fields of industry, science, and the Web -the fundamental wheels upon which today's world makes progress- are, however, hardly transformative. If Big Data is to lead to revolutions in these fields, the machine must be autonomous, that is, to perform higher-order cognitive skills, such as making decisions, inferences, and recommendations. The condition for an autonomous machine is its ability to understand and process Big Data. So, this work aims to determine the foundations for machine-understandability and accordingly determine the conditions for an autonomous machine. In this respect, this work proposes a machine ontology, Ontology 4.0, which represents phenomena in terms of their semantic properties in a relation-based fashion and processes semantic properties according to their types. Adapted from trope and type theories, this ontology forms the basis for machine-understandability. However, due to computational limitations from type theories, the semantic properties are discussed to be represented with nonextensional ontological objects, viz., urtropes, which turn out to be the building blocks of Ontology 4.0. Category theory is adapted as a formalization tool to implement this structure in the machine. Consequently, providing basis for machine-understandability, Ontology 4.0 is a machine ontology that harmonizes urtrope and modified category theory.

Using tag similarity in SVD-based recommendation systems Osmanli, Osman Nuri; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı (2011-12-01) Data analysis has become a very important area for both companies and researchers as a consequence of the technological developments in recent years. Companies are trying to increase their profit by analyzing the existing data about their customers and making decisions for the future according to the results of these analyses. Parallel to the need of companies, researchers are investigating different methodologies to analyze data more accurately with high performance. In this paper, we adopted free-formatte...
A singular value decomposition approach for recommendation systems Osmanlı, Osman Nuri; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) Data analysis has become a very important area for both companies and researchers as a consequence of the technological developments in recent years. Companies are trying to increase their profit by analyzing the existing data about their customers and making decisions for the future according to the results of these analyses. Parallel to the need of companies, researchers are investigating different methodologies to analyze data more accurately with high performance. Recommender systems are one of the most...
A progressive approach for processing satellite data by operational research KUTER, SEMİH; Weber, Gerhard-Wilhelm; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-07-01) Satellite data, together with spatial technologies, have a vital importance in earth sciences to continuously monitor natural and physical processes. However, images taken by earth-observing satellites are often associated with uncertainties due to atmospheric effects (i.e., absorption and scattering by atmospheric gases and aerosols). In this paper, a more adaptable approach for the removal of atmospheric effects from satellite data is introduced within an operational research perspective by utilizing nonp...
A Structural Model for Students' Adoption of Learning Management Systems: An Empirical Investigation in the Higher Education Context FINDIK COŞKUNÇAY, Duygu; Alkis, Nurcan; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2018-04-01) With the recent advances in information technologies, Learning Management Systems have taken on a significant role in providing educational resources. The successful use of these systems in higher education is important for the implementation, management and continuous improvement of e-learning services to increase the quality of learning. This study aimed to identify the factors affecting higher education students' behavioral intention towards Learning Management Systems. A research model was proposed base...
A Distributed Monitoring and Reconfiguration Approach for Adaptive Network Computing Bhargava, Bharat; Angın, Pelin; Ranchal, Rohit; Lingayat, Sunil (2015-01-01) The past decade has witnessed immense developments in the field of network computing thanks to the rise of the cloud computing paradigm, which enables shared access to a wealth of computing and storage resources without needing to own them. While cloud computing facilitates on-demand deployment, mobility and collaboration of services, mechanisms for enforcing security and performance constraints when accessing cloud services are still at an immature state. The highly dynamic nature of networks and clouds ma...
