Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Machine Vs. Deep Learning Comparision for Developing an International Sign Language Translator(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Eryilmaz, Meltem; Balkaya, Ecem; Ucan, Eylul; Turan, Gizem; Oral, Seden GulayThis study aims to enable deaf and hard-of-hearing people to communicate with other individuals who know and do not know sign language. The mobile application was developed for video classification by using MediaPipe Library in the study. While doing this, considering the problems that deaf and hearing loss individuals face in Turkey and abroad modelling and training stages were carried out with the English language option. With the real-time translation feature added to the study individuals were provided with instant communication. In this way, communication problems experienced by hearing-impaired individuals will be greatly reduced. Machine learning and Deep learning concepts were investigated in the study. Model creation and training stages were carried out using VGG16, OpenCV, Pandas, Keras, and Os libraries. Due to the low success rate in the model created using VGG16, the MediaPipe library was used in the formation and training stages of the model. The reason for this is that, thanks to the solutions available in the MediaPipe library, it can normalise the coordinates in 3D by marking the regions to be detected in the human body. Being able to extract the coordinates independently of the background and body type in the videos in the dataset increases the success rate of the model in the formation and training stages. As a result of an experiment, the accuracy rate of the deep learning model is 85% and the application can be easily integrated with different languages. It is concluded that deep learning model is more accure than machine learning one and the communication problem faced by hearing-impaired individuals in many countries can be reduced easily.Article Citation - WoS: 29Citation - Scopus: 43Text Classification Using Improved Bidirectional Transformer(Wiley, 2022) Tezgider, Murat; Yıldız, Beytullah; Yildiz, Beytullah; Aydin, Galip; Yıldız, BeytullahText data have an important place in our daily life. A huge amount of text data is generated everyday. As a result, automation becomes necessary to handle these large text data. Recently, we are witnessing important developments with the adaptation of new approaches in text processing. Attention mechanisms and transformers are emerging as methods with significant potential for text processing. In this study, we introduced a bidirectional transformer (BiTransformer) constructed using two transformer encoder blocks that utilize bidirectional position encoding to take into account the forward and backward position information of text data. We also created models to evaluate the contribution of attention mechanisms to the classification process. Four models, including long short term memory, attention, transformer, and BiTransformer, were used to conduct experiments on a large Turkish text dataset consisting of 30 categories. The effect of using pretrained embedding on models was also investigated. Experimental results show that the classification models using transformer and attention give promising results compared with classical deep learning models. We observed that the BiTransformer we proposed showed superior performance in text classification.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 13Improving Word Embedding Quality With Innovative Automated Approaches To Hyperparameters(Wiley, 2021) Yildiz, Beytullah; Yıldız, Beytullah; Tezgider, Murat; Yıldız, BeytullahDeep learning practices have a great impact in many areas. Big data and significant hardware developments are the main reasons behind deep learning success. Recent advances in deep learning have led to significant improvements in text analysis and classification. Progress in the quality of word representation is an important factor among these improvements. In this study, we aimed to develop word2vec word representation, also called embedding, by automatically optimizing hyperparameters. Minimum word count, vector size, window size, negative sample, and iteration number were used to improve word embedding. We introduce two approaches for setting hyperparameters that are faster than grid search and random search. Word embeddings were created using documents of approximately 300 million words. We measured the quality of word embedding using a deep learning classification model on documents of 10 different classes. It was observed that the optimization of the values of hyperparameters alone increased classification success by 9%. In addition, we demonstrate the benefits of our approaches by comparing the semantic and syntactic relations between word embedding using default and optimized hyperparameters.Article Citation - WoS: 55Citation - Scopus: 105Windows Pe Malware Detection Using Ensemble Learning(Mdpi, 2021) Azeez, Nureni Ayofe; Odufuwa, Oluwanifise Ebunoluwa; Misra, Sanjay; Oluranti, Jonathan; Damasevicius, RobertasIn this Internet age, there are increasingly many threats to the security and safety of users daily. One of such threats is malicious software otherwise known as malware (ransomware, Trojans, viruses, etc.). The effect of this threat can lead to loss or malicious replacement of important information (such as bank account details, etc.). Malware creators have been able to bypass traditional methods of malware detection, which can be time-consuming and unreliable for unknown malware. This motivates the need for intelligent ways to detect malware, especially new malware which have not been evaluated or studied before. Machine learning provides an intelligent way to detect malware and comprises two stages: feature extraction and classification. This study suggests an ensemble learning-based method for malware detection. The base stage classification is done by a stacked ensemble of fully-connected and one-dimensional convolutional neural networks (CNNs), whereas the end-stage classification is done by a machine learning algorithm. For a meta-learner, we analyzed and compared 15 machine learning classifiers. For comparison, five machine learning algorithms were used: naive Bayes, decision tree, random forest, gradient boosting, and AdaBoosting. The results of experiments made on the Windows Portable Executable (PE) malware dataset are presented. The best results were obtained by an ensemble of seven neural networks and the ExtraTrees classifier as a final-stage classifier.
