    An Intelligent Multimedia Information System for Multimodal Content Extraction and Querying
    (Springer, 2018) Yazici, Adnan; Koyuncu, Murat; Yilmaz, Turgay; Sattari, Saeid; Sert, Mustafa; Gulen, Elvan
    This paper introduces an intelligent multimedia information system, which exploits machine learning and database technologies. The system extracts semantic contents of videos automatically by using the visual, auditory and textual modalities, then, stores the extracted contents in an appropriate format to retrieve them efficiently in subsequent requests for information. The semantic contents are extracted from these three modalities of data separately. Afterwards, the outputs from these modalities are fused to increase the accuracy of the object extraction process. The semantic contents that are extracted using the information fusion are stored in an intelligent and fuzzy object-oriented database system. In order to answer user queries efficiently, a multidimensional indexing mechanism that combines the extracted high-level semantic information with the low-level video features is developed. The proposed multimedia information system is implemented as a prototype and its performance is evaluated using news video datasets for answering content and concept-based queries considering all these modalities and their fused data. The performance results show that the developed multimedia information system is robust and scalable for large scale multimedia applications.

    Ronsi: a Framework for Calculating Return on Network Security Investment
    (Springer, 2023) Barik, Kousik; Misra, Sanjay; Fernandez-Sanz, Luis; Koyuncu, Murat
    This competitive environment is rapidly driving technological modernization. Sophisticated cyber security attacks are expanding exponentially, inflicting reputation damage and financial and economic loss. Since security investments may take time to generate revenues, organizations need more time to convince top management to support them. Even though several ROSI techniques have been put out, they still need to address network-related infrastructure. By addressing gaps in existing techniques, this study delivers a comprehensive framework for calculating Return on Network Security Investment (RONSI). The proposed framework uses a statistical prediction model based on Bayes' theorem to calculate the RONSI. It is validated by Common Vulnerability Security Systems (CVSS) datasets and compared to existing studies. The results demonstrate that the annual loss is reduced to 75% with the proposed RONSI model after implementing a security strategy, and the proposed model is compared with existing studies. An organization can effectively justify investments in network-related infrastructure while enhancing its credibility and dependability in the cutthroat marketplace.
