Conference Object Securing the Internet of Things: Challenges and Complementary Overview of Machine Learning-Based Intrusion Detection(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Isin, L.I.; Dalveren, Y.; Leka, E.; Kara, A.The significant increase in the number of IoT devices has also brought with it various security concerns. The ability of these devices to collect a lot of data, including personal information, is one of the important reasons for these concerns. The integration of machine learning into systems that can detect security vulnerabilities has been presented as an effective solution in the face of these concerns. In this review, it is aimed to examine the machine learning algorithms used in the current studies in the literature for IoT network security. Based on the authors' previous research in physical layer security, this research also aims to investigate the intersecting lines between upper layers of security and physical layer security. To achieve this, the current state of the area is presented. Then, relevant studies are examined to identify the key challenges and research directions as an initial overview within the authors' ongoing project. © 2024 IEEE.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1An Undergraduate Curriculum for Deep Learning(Ieee, 2018) Tirkes, Guzin; Ekin, Cansu Cigdem; Sengul, Gokhan; Bostan, Atila; Karakaya, MuratDeep 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. The starting point of this study is the recognition of a big gap between the sector need of specialists in DL technology and the lack of sufficient education provided by the universities. Higher education institutions are the best environment to provide this expertise to the students. However, currently most universities do not provide specifically designed DL courses to their students. Thus, the main objective of this study is to design a novel curriculum including two courses to facilitate teaching and learning of DL topic. The proposed curriculum will enable students to solve real-world problems by applying DL approaches and gain necessary background to adapt their knowledge to more advanced, industry-specific fields.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.Article Performance Investigation of ML Algorithms for Potato Blight Classification: The Role of Hyperparameter Tuning(Springer, 2026) Saeed, Sadia; Rehman, Hafiz Zia Ur; Hussain, Muhammad Ureed; Khan, Muhammad Umer; Saeed, Muhammad TallalPotato is the world's fourth most important food crop, consumed by over a billion people. 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.
