To solve it, the origin of waste biomass raw materials is explained, and the application of Machine Learning in this section is scrutinized. After analysis of numerous papers, it is concluded that Machine Learning and Deep Learning are widely utilized in waste biomass production areas to enhance the quality and quantity of production, improve the predictions, diminish the losses, as well as increase storage and transformation conditions. The positive effects and application with the utilized algorithms and other effective information are collected in this work for the first time. According to the statistical analysis, in 20% out of the studies conducted about the application of Machine Learning and Deep Learning in waste biomass raw materials, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithm has been applied. Afterward, the Super Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest (RF) are the second and third most-utilized algorithms applied in 15% and 14% of studies. Meanwhile, 27% of studies focused on the applications of Machine Learning and Deep Learning in the Forest wastes.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Enhancing Image Resolution With Generative Adversarial Networks(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) Yildiz,B.Super-resolution is the process of generating high-resolution images from low-resolution images. There are a variety of practical applications used in real-world problems such as high-definition content creation, surveillance imaging, gaming, and medical imaging. Super-resolution has been the subject of many researches over the past few decades, as improving image resolution offers many advantages. Going beyond the previously presented methods, Generative Adversarial Networks offers a very promising solution. In this work, we will use the Generative Adversarial Networks-based approach to obtain 4x resolution images that are perceptually better than previous solutions. Our extensive experiments, including perceptual comparison, Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio, and classification success metrics, show that our approach is quite promising for image super-resolution. © 2022 IEEE.Conference Object Hybrid AI-Driven Decision Model for Test Automation in Agile Software Development(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Bon, Mohammad; Yazici, AliTest automation plays an essential role in Agile Software Development (ASD), but its implementation remains complex. This study conducts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to identify key points of test automation and recent developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Based on 21 factors proposed by Butt et al., we construct a three-phase decision-support model addressing software, tools, tests, human, and economic dimensions. To improve this model, modern AI techniques - including natural language processing (NLP), machine learning (ML), Mabl (a self-healing, AI-based test automation tool) and Parasoft Selenic - are used. These technologies automate test case generation, prioritization, and maintenance, aligning with Agile's fast-paced demands. Our proposed hybrid model applies NLP to identify effecting factors, ML for impact scoring, and reinforcement learning (RL) for guiding automation strategies. The goal is to decrease manual processes, improve decision accuracy, and to adapt to evolving requirements. However, challenges such as data quality and the need for AI expertise remain. Future work should focus on practical validation and explore applications in non-functional testing. This study offers a practical, AI-enhanced framework to support Agile teams in streamlining test automation. © 2025 IEEE.Conference Object An Undergraduate Curriculum for Deep Learning(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Tirkes,G.; Ekin,C.C.; Engul,G.; Bostan,A.; Karakaya,M.Deep Learning (DL) is an interesting and rapidly developing field of research which has been currently utilized as a part of industry and in many disciplines to address a wide range of problems, from image classification, computer vision, video games, bioinformatics, and handwriting recognition to machine translation.

Early and late blight diseases can reduce yields by up to 40%, leading to severe economic and food security challenges. While manual detection methods are prone to error, automated, image-based machine learning (ML) offers a promising alternative, though its performance depends strongly on proper optimization. This study investigates the role of hyperparameter tuning in improving ML algorithms for potato blight classification. We utilized two datasets: the PlantVillage dataset (500 images per class) and a region-specific Potato Leaf Dataset (PLD) from Pakistan (1628 early blight, 1424 late blight, 1020 healthy). All images were resized to 256 & times; 256 pixels and augmented. Features were extracted using the Bag-of-Features (BoF) technique, and four classic ML models-Support Vector Machine (SVM), k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), and Random Forest (RF)-were trained. Hyperparameters were optimized via grid search with 5-fold cross-validation. This tuning led to measurable improvements; for instance, SVM accuracy increased from 93.0% to 95.9% on PlantVillage and from 85.0% to 87.0% on PLD. Evaluation using precision, recall, F1-score, and specificity confirmed SVM as the best-performing model. A confusion matrix analysis revealed that most misclassifications occurred between the two blight types due to visual similarity. To translate our findings into practice, we developed a MATLAB Graphical User Interface (GUI) that enables farmers to classify a leaf image in under three seconds and receive precautionary recommendations. This study demonstrates that systematic hyperparameter optimization is crucial for maximizing ML performance and is a key step in building accessible, real-time tools for precision agriculture. Future work will focus on extending the system to mobile and web platforms.Conference Object Autonomous Drone System for Afforestation with Swarm Intelligence(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Yildirim, B.E.; Durmaz, S.; Yildiz, A.; Kucukkomurcu, B.; Ozbek, T.; Türkmen, G.This project explores tree detection and tracking using drones coordinated by swarm intelligence. By enabling autonomous coordination and real-time communication between multiple drones, swarm-based systems significantly enhance area coverage, reduce redundancy, and increase data reliability compared to traditional single-drone approaches. Drones equipped with high-resolution cameras collect aerial imagery, which is then processed through image analysis and machine learning algorithms to identify tree locations accurately. Dynamic task allocation and route optimization enable efficient regional coverage while minimizing error rates. The entire system is developed and evaluated in a simulation environment, allowing for controlled testing and iterative refinement of the swarm behaviors. This framework offers scalable and adaptive solutions for applications in forest conservation, environmental monitoring, and ecosystem management. © 2025 IEEE.
