Article Citation - Scopus: 1Analyzing Students' Academic Success in Pre-requisite Course Chains: A Case Study in Turkey(Tempus Publications, 2018) Karakaya, Murat; Eryilmaz, Meltem; Ceyhan, Ulas; Computer EngineeringThere are several principles which have been accepted as approaches to successful curriculum development. In spite of the differences in the proposed sequencing of topics, all approaches basically depend on the pre-requisite chains to implement their educational approach in the curriculum development for specifying the order of the subjects. In this research, two prerequisite chains representing two different curriculum development approaches are taken into consideration in a case study. The first research question considered is whether academic success in a follow-up course is positively related to success attained in the pre-requisite course. The second one is whether or not the selected curriculum development approach for deciding the chains has a significant impact on the academic success relationships between a pre-requisite and its follow-up course. To answer these questions, course data of 441 undergraduate students who graduated from the Atilim University between Fall 2001 and Spring 2015 semesters were collected and analyzed. The results indicate that the succes levels gained in a pre-requisite and its follow-up course are corelated. Moreover, different cirriculum development methods can affect this corelation. Thus, cirriculum developers should consider appropriate approaches to improve student success for deciding chaining courses and their contents.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Ss-Mla: a Semisupervised Method for Multi-Label Annotation of Remotely Sensed Images(SPIE, 2021) Üstünkök,T.; Karakaya,M.Recent technological advancements in satellite imagery have increased the production of remotely sensed images. Therefore, developing efficient methods for annotating these images has gained popularity. Most of the current state-of-the-art methods are based on supervised machine learning techniques. We propose a method called semisupervised multi-label annotizer (SS-MLA) that adapts vector-quantized temporal associative memory to annotate remotely sensed images. One of the advantages of SS-MLA over the supervised methods is that it extracts features not only from the given sample but also from similar samples that are previously seen without using an explicit attention mechanism. Thus SS-MLA enhances the learning efficiency of the training process. We conduct extensive performance comparisons with five different methods in the literature over four datasets. The comparison results indicate the success of the proposed method over the existing ones: SS-MLA generates the best results in 7 out of 11 comparisons. © 2021 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
