Düşük iletişim yüklü olay-tetikli dağıtık kestirim

We propose a novel algorithm for distributed processing applications constrained by the available communication resources using diffusion strategies that achieves up to a 10^3 fold reduction in the communication load over the network, while delivering a comparable performance with respect to the state of the art. After the computation of the local estimates, the information is diffused among the processing elements (or nodes) non-uniformly in time by conditioning the information transfer on level-crossings of the diffused parameter, resulting in a greatly reduced communication requirement. We provide the mean and mean-square stability analyses of the proposed algorithm, and illustrate the gain in communication efficiency compared to other reduced-communication distributed estimation schemes.

Radar anten taramalarının otomatik analizi

Estimation of the radar antenna scan period and recognition of the antenna scantype is usually performed by human operators in the Electronic Warfare (EW)world. In this thesis, we propose a robust algorithm to automatize these two criticalprocesses. The proposed algorithm consists of two main parts: antenna scanperiod estimation and antenna scan type classification. The first part of the algorithminvolves estimating the period of the signal using a time-domain approach.After this step, the signal is warped to a single vector with predetermined size(N) by resampling the data according to its period. This process ensures thatthe extracted features are reliable and are solely the result of the different scantypes, since the effect of the different periods in the signal is removed. Four differentfeatures are extracted from the signal vector with an understanding of thephenomena behind the received signals. These features are used to train naiveBayes classifiers, decision-tree classifiers, artificial neural networks, and supportvector machines. We have developed an Antenna Scan Pattern Simulator (ASPS)that simulates the position of the antenna beam with respect to time and generatessynthetic data. These classifiers are trained and tested with the syntheticdata and are compared by their confusion matrices, correct classification rates,robustness to noise, and computational complexity. The effect of the value of Nand different signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) on correct classification performanceis investigated for each classifier. Decision-tree classifier is found to be the mostsuitable classifier because of its high classification rate, robustness to noise, andcomputational ease. Real data acquired by ASELSAN Inc. is also used to validatethe algorithm. The results of the real data indicate that the algorithm isready for deployment in the field and is capable of being robust against practicalcomplications.

İnsan gözünün topoğrafik görüntülerının özelliklerini elde etmek için akilli algoritma oluşturmak

Precise diagnosis for a wide range of diseases infecting the human eye is a commitment. Therefore, developing new, smart algorithms is necessary to enhance doctors' diagnostic decisions. The recently invented Pentacam® is a measurement system that introduces topographic maps for the cornea, measures changes upon it, and helps doctors to make a precise diagnosis. This study extracts features from corneal topographic maps to improve the Pentacam® readings and further support precise diagnosing by using deep learning techniques, with an analytical view of the extracted features. A 16-layer convolutional neural network (CNN) was trained using the VGG-16 network to extract powerful features from corneal topographic maps. A sample of 732 human eyes were selected from enlarged topographic images from both genders (414 females and 318 males), divided into two groups: normal and abnormal. The patients' ages ranged from 12 to 76 years. The procedure of the study consisted of three major steps: (1) classification of the extracted features according to the refractive map type (where the estimated accuracy was 96.6%); (2) prediction of the clinical state (normal or abnormal) per individual map (where the estimated accuracy was 88.8%, 98.9%, 94.8%, and 94.5% for the sagittal map, the elevation front map, the elevation back map, and the corneal thickness map, respectively); and (3) comparison of the predicted results and clinical decision-making. The agreement between them reaches about 94.72%, which indicated the power and usefulness of the proposed algorithm.

Değiştirilmiş SVM iş akışı kullanılarak meme kanserinin yerleştirilmesi ve tespiti

Mammography is the most effective method in the early detection of breast cancer, which can detect up to 90% of cases. mammography was used in only 24% of cases in 2017, which is below the 70% expected by the World Health Organization (WHO). This explains one of the causes of late diagnosis and the increase in mortality. According to WHO data, the average time to start treatment is 120 days after the first appointments. This situation is due to the delay in scheduling consultations, in addition to the fact that many times excessive tests are requested, which slow down the diagnostic process. In this paper, we Propose a medical decision support model in breast cancer to help diagnose more quickly, using prototype selection associated with (Support Vector Classifier (SVC), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Random Forest (RF), Logistic Regression (LR)). In this way, we expect to obtain robust results with agility and efficiency.

Eliptik eğri uygulaması nesnelerin interneti için kriptografi(IOT) güvenlik

The Internet of Things, or IoT, is essential to the fields of industry, healthcare, and information technology, among others. It is made up of numerous interconnected things that are in communication with one another. Because approved objects, in addition to users, may access data regarding the Internet of Things. For IoT applications and technology to be widely adopted, security is a necessary component. To improve the security of the IoT data, this study suggests an Elliptic Curve Cryptography approach. Two keys are used in Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC): a public key and a private key. The user uses the private key for encryption, and the public key is used for user identification during authentication. Similar to this, using the private key, the sender encrypts; if secrecy is desired, using the public key, one can decrypt the communication. Selecting the private key is a problem with every public key. Random selection of small values raises concerns about the overall algorithm's security. considering the values. This study suggests using the Cuckoo Search Algorithm to select values at random.

Various innovative techniques have been suggested to determine fake news, making the endeavor both intriguing and challenging. Hence, this synopsis aims to develop the adaptive learning model with multiscale feature fusion for fake news detection. The proposed system constitutes "text collection, text pre-processing, feature extraction and detection". Initially, the text input is collected from the benchmark datasets, which is then followed by the text stage of pre-processing. Here, the pre-processed text is obtained that is fed into the feature extraction phases. The three feature extraction techniques such as "Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT), Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) and GloVe Embedding" are employed to provide the feature set 1, 2 and 3. Finally, these resultant features are given to "Multiscale Feature Fusion based Long Short Term Memory (MFF-LSTM)", where the features are fused together in multiscale manner and detection is taken place by LSTM. Therefore, the system evaluation is done by considering the distinct measures and compared among traditional approaches. Hence, the recommended model attains the desired results to detect the fake news that helps to evade the exploration of any false information.

5G iletişim sistemi için yeniden yapılandırılabılır akıllı meta yüzey

For 5G mobile communication networks, a novel antenna array is built using a printed monopole based on a metamaterial (MTM). For 5G communication networks, the architecture and functionalities of a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna array are anticipated. Four components make up the MIMO antennae array, which is stacked in an octagon 3D array arrangement consecutively. The components are arranged to create a particular pattern. The array is constructed on a 25 x 25 x 30 mm³ FR4 substrate. Because of its RF characteristics, this substrate option is frequently used in antenna designs. A split ring resonator (SRR) is connected to each antennae element, which is a printed circuit monopole, via a T-resonator (TR). Resonances at 3.6 GHz and 4.8 GHz are provided by this design, making it appropriate for sub-6GHz 5G networks. To lessen mutual coupling, electromagnetic band gap (EBG) spacers are utilised between antenna elements. The antennae array's concerts are improved by the EBG spacers' moonquake fractal-shaped array design. The moonquake fractal EBG spacers are placed to achieve a -20dB mutual coupling reduction between antennae elements. This reduction in mutual coupling is important for maintaining good isolation and minimizing interference between elements. Four PIN diodes are connected to each antennae element to control the antennae's concerts . By using these diodes, different switching scenarios are tested to understand their impact on antennae behaviour. The projected array's

Gerçek zamanlı hizmetler sunmak için sis-bulut ortamında ıot kaynak kullanımının artırılması

When resources and computers are made available on demand over the internet, this is called fog-cloud computing. This makes it easy to offer people a variety of integrated computing services without being limited by local resources. This means giving people more than just places to store and back up their data and ways to sync their own files. but it also has processing power and a simple software interface that lets the user control when it's connected to the network. This makes things easier by ignoring many details and internal processes. When it comes to the cloud, scheduling algorithms are necessary to provide services that meet goals like high performance, low prices, minimal energy use, and so on. It is an NP-hard problem to come up with scheduling methods that meet more than one of these goals. We introduce some new heuristic scheduling algorithms in this thesis that allow for multi-objective optimization. We then compare their effectiveness with some well-known scheduling algorithms to study how well they work. The first algorithm, the BDA, looks at the Make-span and the period it takes to complete jobs by the due date. Our algorithm takes into account a task's due date by giving the most weight for the job with the earlier due date and send it to the resource that can complete it in the shortest amount of time to achieve the shortest Makespan. Fog Max-Cloud Min is the name of the first part of our method. Ant Colony Optimization is the name of the second part. We looked at how well our suggested algorithm methods met deadlines and how long the system took to make. Compared to the tools we have now. The study results show that our algorithm is better at getting things done with the lowest Makespan and the best deadline satisfaction. In the second algorithm, We develop improvements to the performance and cost (PC) algorithm in order to give more weight Considering the significant expenses involved, reduce energy consumption, and reduce the duration of create a product. In this work, we describe an approach that is a combination of the PCA and GWO techniques. This algorithm is called the Performance and Cost-Gray Wolf Optimization (PC-GWO) algorithm. The results of the test indicate that the PC-GWO The algorithm decreases the average total energy usage by 12.17 percent, 11.5 percent, and 7.19 percent, as well as the Makespan by 16.72 percent, 16.38 percent, and 14.10 percent. When compared to the GWO algorithm, the PCA method, and the PSO algorithm, it also improves the best average resource consumption by 13.2 percent, 12.05%, and 10.9 percent respectively.

Vıt-skınnet: Segmentasyon mekanizması ile etkili cilt kanserinin tespiti için yeni bir vizyon transformatör tabanlı ShufflenetV3 modeli

Melanoma, a deadly type of skin cancer, claims hundreds of lives every year. Skin cancer typically affects areas of skin that are exposed to sunlight on a frequent basis, such as the "legs, face, arms, and neck". By visually examining lesions with pigment on the skin, melanoma can be identified early and treated with a straightforward method of removal of the malignant cells. However, the examination of the skin by the naked eye alone has a restricted and inconsistent accuracy owing to the scarcity of dermatologists. This also leads the patients to undergo multiple biopsies and thus hampers the course of treatment. The automatic identification of lesions from the dermoscopy images involves several obstacles due to the intricate lesion characteristics and as a result of the detection backdrop. There is a dearth of research on major intra-class variations and inter-class similarities of lesion characteristics, and the prior solutions primarily concentrate on employing larger and more complicated systems for detecting the presence of skin cancer with much-enhanced detection accuracy. In order to address various issues with the traditional methods, it is therefore increasingly crucial to create a successful structure for the identification of skin cancer through the use of deep learning approaches. The implemented skin cancer detection and classification model has three crucial procedures to perform. The collection of dermoscopy images, the segmentation process for segmenting the images, and the detection phase are the three main stages of the implemented skin cancer detection system that is put into practice. First, the benchmark images are utilized to provide the images that are needed for the tests. Once the images are gathered, then the segmentation phase is executed. The segmentation step receives the gathered images as its input. Then, the Residual DenseUNet++ (ResDenseUNet++) is used to carry out an effective segmentation. At this point, the resultant segmented image is provided by the developed ResDenseUNet++, which is then considered for the later stage's inputs. Additionally, the segmented image is then given to the feature extraction process by which the gradient filter image and the texture pattern image are obtained. Additionally, the obtained image results are then inputted for the phase of skin cancer detection. During the detection phase, the newly developed ShufflenetV3 based on Vision Transformer (ViT-ShufflenetV3) is implemented and used to effectively recognize skin cancer. In many experimental validations, the recommended skin cancer identification system has ensured a more precise classification outcome regarding skin cancer than other traditional models.

Çok etikeli dengesizlik verileri ile litolojiyi sınıflandırmak için derin öğrenme yöntemlerinin kullanılması

To anticipate and detect lithologies in a variety of surveys, geologists can save operational expenses and uptime by utilising deep learning methodologies and applications. Accurate data processing and scientific research using data gathered in different geological areas are made possible by this. The four lithologies data in the present research were analysed and classified using multi-class imbalance issues and high dimensionality. One of the biggest issues facing modern data analysis is the imbalance in data classification. Particularly when combined with other challenging factors like the existence of overlapping class distributions, and data imbalance can have a significant impact on the accuracy of classification. When there are several classes involved, mutual imbalance relationships between them exacerbate the situation, making its influence more evident. Furthermore, the high dimensionality issue may result in overfitting and increased computational complexity, both of which may impair classification efficiency. Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) is used to find the most valuable predictive features, while Synthetic Minority Oversampling (SMOTE) is used to resample the data. Using hybrid multi-class DL system unbalanced learning approach is our solution to solving these issues. Finally, by offering precise categorization and quick responses about the interpretation of data collected in many study regions, we think that our innovations might contribute to the advancement of geological research.

IoT platformunda sürücü dikkat dağılmasını algılamak için LSTM ile evrimsel sinir ağının çeşitleriyle optimum özellikli ayar modeli

Nowadays, traffic accidents are caused due to the distracted behaviors of drivers that have been noticed with the emergence of smartphones. Due to distracted drivers, more accidents have been reported in recent years. Therefore, there is a need to recognize whether the driver is in a distracted driving state, so essential alerts can be given to the driver to avoid possible safety risks. For supporting safe driving, several approaches for identifying distraction have been suggested based on specific gaze behavior and driving contexts. Thus, in this paper, a new Internet of Things (IoT)-assisted driver distraction detection model is suggested. Initially, the images from IoT devices are gathered for feature tuning. The set of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) methods like ResNet, LeNet, VGG 16, AlexNet GoogleNet, Inception-ResNet, DenseNet, Xception, and mobilenet are used, in which the best model is selected using Self Adaptive Grass Fibrous Root Optimization (SA-GFRO) algorithm. The optimal feature tuning CNN model processes the input images for obtaining the optimal features. These optimal features are fed into the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) for getting the classified distraction behaviors of the drivers. From the validation of the outcomes, the accuracy of the proposed technique is 95.89%. Accordingly, the accuracy of the existing techniques like SMO-LSTM, PSO-LSTM, JA-LSTM, and GFRO-LSTM is attained as 92.62%, 91.08%, 90.99%, and 89.87%, respectively for dataset 1. Thus, the suggested model achieves better classification accuracy while detecting distracted behaviors of drivers and this model can support the drivers to continue with safe driving habits.

Derin takviyeli öğrenme ile atarı oyunlarını güçlendirmek

Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has made significant strides in the domain of gaming, optimizing artificial intelligence agents to navigate intricate game environments. This study embarks on an exploration of the Snake Optimization Algorithm (SOA) and the Energy Valley Optimization (EVO), it synergizes into a unified approach, aptly named the Energy Serpent Optimizer (ESO), benchmarking their efficacy within a maze-like game setting. Within this environment, an AI agent is set to maneuver through complex pathways, while engaging with diverse challenges such as snakes, skulls, and other animated characters. The overarching objective for the agent is to adeptly navigate the maze, sidestep potential threats, and engage with specific game elements to amass points. A comparative analysis of ESO revealed notable differences in their execution time efficiencies. The SOA emerged as the more time-efficient algorithm, clocking in at a mere 0.43 seconds, This discernible time gap accentuates the superior efficiency of ESO in this particular setting. Additionally, the ESO was put to the test in the said game environment, where the optimization process entailed evolving a set of hyperparameter configurations via genetic algorithms. The goal was to iterate and adapt these configurations to maximize the AI agent's in-game reward, while ensuring the process is time-efficient. Impressively, the AI agent, under the guidance of ESO, achieved a remarkable reward score of 1100.0 in a span of 32 seconds.

Makine öğrenimi aracılığıyla kendi kendine sürüşlü araçlarda şerit tespiti ve direksiyon kontrolünün geliştirilmesi

Auto lane keeping, an increasingly prevalent driver assistance technology in modern vehicles, facilitates the accurate positioning of the vehicle within road lanes, a crucial aspect for subsequent lane deviation and trajectory planning in fully autonomous vehicles. Traditional lane detection methods have historically relied on sophisticated hand-crafted features and heuristics, which, while computationally efficient, face scalability challenges due to the diverse and dynamic nature of road scenes. However, recent advancements in machine learning, particularly with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), have revolutionized this field by replacing hand-crafted feature detectors with deep networks capable of learning pixel-wise lane segmentations. In this thesis, we aim to address the lane detection problem using a variety of methods. To delve deeper, we utilize a dataset comprising highway lane images to conduct a comparative analysis of two distinct methods. Initially, we employ the traditional edge-detection method, featuring hand-crafted features. Subsequently, we explore various Deep Convolutional Network (CNN) architectures tailored to tackle the lane detection challenge. Our investigation culminates in a comparative assessment of these methods, leveraging images derived from their respective outputs.

Deep kullanılarak el işaret dilinin sınıflandırılması öğrenme

People with hearing disabilities face many problems, which impede many of their social life issues in all areas of communication, so effective communication is crucial in the development of a nation. It promotes understanding and inclusivity among all members of the community, including those who are deaf. Good communication is key to building and maintaining a strong, cohesive society. I used 29,000 sign language images, each class contained 1,000 images. I built a model from scratch (ASL.model) and compared it with pre-existing models (Xception, Inception, ResNet, VGG16 and MobileNet). The study of intelligent computers that can carry out activities without direct human guidance is known as artificial intelligence (AI), a fast-growing topic within computer science. These tasks may include learning, decision making, and problem solving, and they are often accomplished through the use of algorithms, data, and machine learning techniques. To find the most appropriate classification features to be used for classification, deep learning techniques will be employed in this thesis to create a model for classifying sign language utilizing photographs obtained from the Kaggle depository as a training data set. Deep learning is now widely employed across a variety of industries due to its accuracy and efficiency, particularly for vast yet complicated data, such as photos, sounds, or text, where deep learning algorithms are taught using massive, labeled data sets. In this thesis, we used deep learning to classify a total of twenty-nine sign language-related classes. We put forth a fresh framework for categorizing sign language. The suggested model was put into practice, trained, verified, and tested. The model passed the test with a 99.97% success rate. To assess the effectiveness of our suggested model (ASL.model) with that of these methods, we also employed five pre-trained models (Xception, Inception, ResNet, VGG16, and MobileNet) of assisting the performance of deep learning algorithms that use Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The five pre-trained models had F1-score levels of 100%, 99.51%, 99.87%, 100%, and 99.68%, respectively. The model Xception and VGG16 outperformed all others in terms of testing accuracy but when the testing time was smaller than 1.45 seconds, the suggested model outperformed all others in terms of time.

Ana Arap lehçeleri arasında ayrım yapmak için bir sistem tasarlama

Dialect identification is one of the more recent areas of interest for scholars. This study focuses on distinguishing between well-known Arabic dialects through conversations or speeches. What distinguishes this study from others is the way it approaches the topic, as speech was treated as if it were a sound, such as the sound of birds or even music. In other words, the networks were trained on everyday speech without delving into the details of the language, which represents a strong challenge for researchers. With this approach, all the difficulties and challenges facing researchers are overcome. Here, three Arabic speech patterns are taken into consideration: Levantine Dialect (LD), Egyptian Dialect (ED), and Arabian Peninsula Dialect (APD). To distinguish between the three talking styles, we suggest three models for artificial neural networks. The Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and Deep Recurrent Neural Network (DRNN) networks serve as the foundation for these models. This work presents a thorough analysis of the three suggested models, along with comparisons between them. Spoken Arabic Regional Archive (SARA) dataset is employed. It has been prepared and split up into three sections. The Original SARA (OSARA), Filtered SARA (FSARA), and Mixed SARA (MSARA), which combines the OSARA and FSARA, are these. The suggested DRNN model using the MSARA group of the used dataset has the highest accuracy, 90.70%, according to the results.

Kablosuz sensör ağında optimize edilmış özellik seçimi ile hibrit makine öğrenmesi tekniğine dayalı gelişmiş anomali tespit sistemi tasarımı

At present, the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) plays a pivotal role in the wireless communication system that works based on a large number of sensor nodes. The development of the WSN has become more popular and the nature of versatility resulted in more security concerns and making it hard for the investigation to prevent the anomaly in it. One of the essential and challenging tasks in WSN is the security concern. Detecting the anomaly present in the network becomes the major challenge to ensure the security of WSN. In general, WSNs are affected by a different type of threats that tends the nodes to get damaged and form the wrong determination. Therefore, it is necessary to identify anomalous to minimize the false alarm. Moreover, the quality of the data gathered by the sensor nodes is mainly affected by the anomalies that are produced because of different reasons like reading errors, malicious attacks, failures, and unusual events. Hence it is significant to process the anomaly detection to ensure the quality of the sensor data before it is used to make decisions. In WSN, anomaly detection is the significant process to determine the anomaly or unusual event. However, timely anomaly identification is more complex to function to execute reliably in real-time. For the secure and reliable operation in the WSN, effective anomaly detection is more necessary. However, the standard anomaly detection techniques often fail to adequately secure the privacy of the data and identify the complex, particular, and unique breaches in the WSN. Also, the present anomaly detection models only process under the stationary environment and need to keep all the training data in the node. To address these limitations, a novel Hybrid Machine Learning Technique (HMLT) is introduced to effectively detect the presence of anomalies in WSN. The advanced hybrid technique is designed to enhance the detection performance and safeguard privacy. Initially, the required data from the WSN is collected from the available data resource. Further, the significant feature from the raw data is selected using the optimal feature selection process. Here the Secretary Bird Optimization Algorithm (SBOA) is used to achieve the optimal feature selection. Finally, the HMLT is implemented to perform the detection task, in which the hybrid classifier is the combination of the Deep Belief Network (DBN) along with the Bayesian Learning (BL). The model is specifically developed to identify the occurrence of anomalies in WSN using the HMLT for a given dataset. Extensive comparative analysis is performed to analyze the detection capability of the designed approach along with the conventional model. The resulting outcome defines that the proposed approach performs greater in detecting the anomaly than other standard modelsAt present, the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) plays a pivotal role in the wireless communication system that works based on a large number of sensor nodes.

Derin öğrenme yaklaşımı ve dörtlü güvenlik katmanlarına dayalı geliştirilmiş bir görüntü steganografi şeması

This thesis intends a fresh approach for the improvement of dataset secreting in images via the ACO algorithm. Digital image steganography requires a balance between two essential goals: this provides the maximum optimization of the concealment of data; it would also reduce the possibility of the image from existence noticed via optimizing the quality of the original image to be concealed. Many current steganographic methods tend to sacrifice the goals above and below at some point. The thesis introduces the "ACO-LSB" approach, which is designed to enhance embedding capacity using a gray-scale shelter image to hold secret dataset through adding an extra bit-pair in byte (b) to make a checksum of the integrity of the image or a check sum of the hidden message. The method encrypts secret information as the pairs of bits and embeds into the uncompressed images in grey scale. The algorithm used in the ACO is the adaptive scanning to find pixel locations and increase the data embedding capacity while decreasing the strong impact on the image quality. Otherwise, the specific pheromone values are changed in a cyclical fashion to avoid problems with stagnation in the context of the overall optimization process – the values should be ideal for proper selection of pixels. The performance results of the ACO-LSB method are outstanding and this research confirms that they enabled enhancement in the subsequent image embodiment, with up to a 30% increase in embedding capacity compared to traditional methods. Technology achieves an average maximum Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) of (40.5) dB and Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) of (0.98). Furthermore, Methodology shows strong resistance to detection, reducing detection rates by 20%. The model was implemented using MATLAB R2023a and tested on a publicly available dataset of 1000 gray-scale pictures, providing strong evidence of its effectiveness.

Geliştirilmiş bir ağ girişim tespit sistemi için ağ trafik özelliklerinin ana bilgisayar trafik özellikleriyle birleştirilmesi

Network security is a key concern in today's linked world as cyber threats grow more sophisticated and ubiquitous. Traditional Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) generally fall short owing to their dependence on predetermined signatures and restricted detection scope, exposing substantial gaps in efficiently recognizing new and unanticipated intrusions. This research tackles these difficulties by merging network and host traffic data with sophisticated deep learning algorithms to boost NIDS performance. Utilizing the Network Intrusion Detection dataset, which comprises multiple intrusion scenarios replicated in a military network context, our technique involves painstaking data collection, preprocessing, and feature extraction. We employed a convolutional neural network (CNN) to assess these data, applying rigorous feature selection and dimensionality reduction to enhance model performance. The findings reveal that our deep learning-based NIDS achieves an amazing detection accuracy of 98.5%, exceeding current approaches and successfully resolving real-world cybersecurity problems. This complete approach not only develops NIDS technology but also provides a practical solution for boosting network security across many applications, therefore contributing to the development of intrusion detection systems.

Gözetimli öğrenmeye dayalı nesnelerin interneti uygulamaları için girişim tespit sistemi

The Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved dramatically of recent years, and development of commercial and personal applications that can track a person's daily routine, attracting hackers to exploit the vulnerability to steal or modify collected data or disrupt system functions. To prevent hackers from compromising IoT devices, it is important to develop a method that captures and examines network traffic to identify and categorize malicious behavior that attackers may use. Therefore, this work uses a new IoT intrusion detection system designed to determine whether IoT network traffic is normal or potentially anomalous. The algorithm also determines the kind of anomaly if network traffic is deemed to be possibly abnormal. The performance of the proposed system was tested after selecting a dataset called IoTID20, which consists of 625,783 IoT network traffic packets, with 83 distinct features for each packet. The dataset is classified into three classes. The first class (Class I) classifies network traffic into normal or potential anomaly packets. The second class (Class II) classifies each anomalous network traffic into four main classes: 1. Mirai attacks. 2. Denial of service attacks (DoS), 3. Scanning. 4. Man-in-the-middle (MITM). The third class (Class III) classifies the anomalous network traffic into subclasses of the main classes. To identify the class of an IoT network packet, this system goes through four main stages: 1. Feature Preprocessing. 2.Feature selection. 3.Hyperparameter optimization. 4.Classification. In the feature preprocessing stage, the proposed system automatically removes the feature ID column and empty row values and handles useless feature distributions. Therefore, to find salient characteristics to represent each IoT network traffic, the feature extraction step uses correlation coefficient, particle swarm optimization (PSO), and grey wolf optimization (GWO). In this step, features 17, 16, and 22 are selected to represent network traffic for Category 1, Category 2, and Category 3, respectively. In addition, in this stege, four features are selected because they are the common features chosen from all the feature selection algorithms that make our system consume limited computing resources. In the penultimate stage, the Decision Tree (DT) hyperparameter is determined utilizing a Coronavirus Herd Immunity Optimizer (CHIO) to boost the effectiveness of the suggested system. Finally, IoT network traffic is classified using a decision tree algorithm through three phases. In the first phase, it is classified as normal or anomalous. In the case of an anomaly, the system identified the main and subcategories of the anomaly in the second and third phases. Many machine-learning techniques are used to train and test our proposed system; however, the decision tree outperforms other machine-learning algorithms, achieving 99.96%, 99.56%, and 77.6% accuracy for Phases 1, 2, and 3.

Yüksek hızlı görünür ışık iletişimleri için filtreli-OFDM sistemlerinin karmaşıklığının azaltılması

Contemporary wireless communication infrastructures face inherent limitations in radio frequency (RF) bandwidth allocation. As global requirements for enhanced data throughput intensify, systemic challenges, such as spectral congestion and diminished data transmission efficiency, assume critical importance. Within the framework of emerging 5G and 6G architectures, scholarly and industrial focus has pivoted toward leveraging the optical spectrum as a viable alternative to circumvent these constraints. Notably, visible light communication (VLC) systems have recently emerged as an innovative paradigm for augmenting traditional RF-dependent wireless networks. Among these advancements, the Filtered-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (F-OFDM) modulation scheme has positioned itself as a promising solution for mitigating OFDM's inherent limitations of excessive out-of-band radiation and consequent spectral inefficiency. In direct detection and intensity modulation (DD/IM), LEDs require real-valued and non-negative signals, achieved through the inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) with Hermitian symmetry (HS). While this enables noncomplex-valued signals, it halves the electrical bandwidth. Larger IFFT/FFT sizes increase processing demands, chip area, energy consumption, and hardware costs. The HS constraint complicates the design by requiring duplicate FFT/IFFT blocks, raising computational complexity. Additionally, increasing subcarriers worsens the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), adding further challenges. Legacy optical OFDM methods employed to transform bipolar OFDM signals into unipolar formats include DC-biased (DCO-OFDM) and asymmetrically clipped (ACO-OFDM) techniques. However, these adaptations entail compromises: DCO-OFDM elevates power requirements, whereas ACO-OFDM diminishes spectral efficiency. This thesis primarily concentrates on optimizing spectral ‎efficiency and reducing the complexity of VLC systems. Therefore, the effort offered ‎in this thesis introduces a different methodology to eliminating the reliance on ‎HS. Two methods, NHS-DCO-F-OFDM and NHS-Flip-F-OFDM, are proposed to generate real F-OFDM signals by rearranging the real and imaginary components of complex F-OFDM signals in the time domain. These methods reduce system complexity by 50%, avoid PAPR issues, and enhance power efficiency contrasted to established HS-based F-OFDM. The NHS-filtered OFDM approach also improves bandwidth efficacy and cuts out-of-band emission power by 115 dB, offering better spectral localization than conventional OFDM.

Kara, deniz altı ve serbest uzayda kullanılan optik haberleşme sistemlerinin analizi, entegrasyonu ve optimizasyonu

The history of optical communication can be traced back to simple signalling techniques like smoke and flame beacons used by ancient cultures to transmit messages over long distances. Significant advancements occurred in the 18th and 19th centuries with the invention and widespread use of semaphore systems and later optical telegraphs, which enhanced visual signalling capabilities. These systems laid the foundation for structured long-range communication. However, practical low-attenuation optical fibers and lasers were developed in the 20th century before optical communication could become an efficient means for high-speed, long-distance data transmission. Modern telecommunication infrastructures worldwide increasingly rely on extremely long optical fiber cables due to several key advantages. These include the high bandwidth, low signal loss, and overall transmission efficiency of fiber optics. Additionally, fiber optics offer immunity to electromagnetic interference and other forms of crosstalk, such as radiation crosstalk and long-distance crosstalk. Furthermore, they provide high security, data security, and data integrity. These advantages make fiber optics suitable for both urban and remote deployment. The study employs the OptiSystem 18 simulation platform to comprehensively assess the performance of optical communication systems under three distinct transmission environments: fiber, underwater, and free-space optical channels. An extremely critical system parameter, laser power, operational wavelength, modulation schemes, pulse bit patterns, and transmission frequency, were systematically varied one at a time to observe their individual effects and the combined effects on system performance. The modelling was conducted with utmost precision. The simulations have offered valuable insights into optimal configurations for maximizing signal integrity, minimizing attenuation, and enhancing overall transmission quality under various environmental conditions. The results obtained have significantly contributed to a comprehensive understanding of the performance of optical links under various operating conditions. This knowledge has, in turn, led to the generation of valuable recommendations for enhancing systems. The acquired insights will be instrumental in designing robust, user-friendly, and low-power networks in critical sectors and numerous applications and locations.

Derin öğrenme tekniklerinin hibrit yöntemini kullanarak farklı saldırıları tespit etmek için SDN ortamına yönelik siber güvenlik sistemi

As contemporary networks come under attack with sophisticated and mass-scale cyber-threats, traditional intrusion detection systems (IDS) are unable to cope with changing threats. Such limitations are the focus of this research, and two new deep learning-based frameworks are introduced, which are best suited for fast and effective intrusion detection in Software-Defined Network (SDN) environments: (1) the Adversarial Learning-based Multi-Branched Hybrid Architecture and (2) the Multi-Branched Hybrid Perceptron Network (MBHPN). Together, these models offer an intelligent and scalable IDS platform that can detect advanced threats, in particular Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, through adaptive learning, real-time integration, and context analysis. The first architecture, as explained in Chapter 3, combines Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Capsule Networks, and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) layers in a multi-branch architecture. CNNs encode spatial dependencies, Capsule Networks preserve hierarchical relations among features, and LSTMs describe sequential behaviors of traffic flows. The framework also incorporates Dynamic Adversarial Learning, where adversarial samples are produced to mimic attacks, thus enhancing model robustness. Each branch produces a unique feature representation, which is combined using attention-weighted methods to create an integrated, discriminative feature space tailored for intrusion detection. In Chapter 4, this architecture is enriched by the addition of MBHPN, which is directly optimized for DDoS attack detection. This network combines three deep learning branches: MLP, DenseNet-like, and ResNet-like units. It adds Dynamic Feature Adaptation (DFA) to down-regulate noisy features and up-regulate pertinent traffic signatures. Multi-instance Learning (MIL) to process aggregated traffic flows instead of standalone instances, and thus greatly enhances contextual perception. These improvements make MBHPN robust against class imbalance, evasion attacks, and changing attack patterns prevalent in actual networks. The models are trained and tested on three intrusion detection benchmark datasets: UNSW-NB15, CICIDS2017, and CSE-CIC-IDS2018, which contain varied traffic patterns and attack conditions. Proven through extensive experimentation, the models outperform the current state of affairs. On the UNSW-NB15 dataset, MBHPN reports 99.31% accuracy, 98.02% precision, 98.87% recall, and an F1-score of 98.44% with a false positive ratio (FPR) decreased to 0.61% from the original 1.12% FPR of the base model. The time taken for inference reduced from 7.8 ms to 5.3 ms, which reflects a 32% boost in speed from SDNetc integration.

Makine öğrenmesi destekli 2D malzemelerin karakterizasyonu

Bu tez çalışmasında, Atomik Kuvvet Mikroskobu (AKM) ile elde edilen ardışık görüntüler kullanılarak yüzeydeki konum kaymalarının yön ve hız bakımından analiz edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda hem klasik makine öğrenmesi algoritmaları hem de derin öğrenme yaklaşımları kullanılarak yön tahmini ve kayma hızı tahmini yapılmıştır. İlk aşamada, X ve Y eksenlerindeki mikrometre cinsinden kayma miktarları giriş değişkeni olarak kullanılarak yön sınıflandırması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu sınıflandırma için Random Forest ve Destek Vektör Makineleri (SVM) algoritmaları uygulanmıştır. Random Forest modeli %98.6 test doğruluğu ile yüksek bir başarı gösterirken, SVM algoritması %94.6 doğruluk sağlamıştır. Random Forest modeli, sınıf bazında da daha dengeli F1-score sonuçları vermiştir. İkinci aşamada ise, ardışık görüntü çiftleri arasındaki zaman farkı ve konum değişimleri kullanılarak kayma hızları hesaplanmış, bu veriler zaman serisi analizi yapabilen LSTM (Uzun Kısa Süreli Bellek) ağı ile modellenmiştir. Model mimarisi iki LSTM katmanından oluşmakta olup sırasıyla 64 ve 32 nöron içermekte ve her iki katmanda da tanh aktivasyon fonksiyonu kullanılmaktadır. Çıkış katmanı ise tek nöronlu yoğun (dense) yapıdadır. Farklı sayılarda eğitim veri çifti ile yapılan denemelerde modelin performansı sistematik olarak değerlendirilmiş ve her konfigürasyonda model 50 epok boyunca eğitilmiştir. Modelin tahmin başarısı; Ortalama Kare Hata (MSE), Determinasyon Katsayısı (R²), Kök Ortalama Kare Hata (RMSE) ve Ortalama Mutlak Hata (MAE) metrikleri üzerinden analiz edilmiştir. Test verisi üzerinde elde edilen sonuçlar, modelin düşük hata oranlarıyla tahminler yapabildiğini ve R² değerinin yüksek seviyelerde olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu da LSTM mimarisinin, zaman bağımlı mikroskobik verilerle çalışırken kayma hızlarını başarıyla tahmin edebildiğini göstermektedir.

Yapay zeka teknolojilerine dayanan 5G ile nitelikler arasındaki saldırı tespitine yönelik siber güvenlik önlemleri

With the emerging cybersecurity arena, especially in the context of next-generation communication networks like 5G networks, precise identification of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks is an urgent challenge. The large dimensionality, high-speed data transmission, and high network diversity typical of 5G environments have a propensity to make conventional machine learning models inadequate. To address these problems, this research suggests a new deep learning approach that uses symmetry to help detect unusual activities in today's fast and complex networks. The system architecture under examination is a Tree Convolutional Neural Network (Tree-CNN) that is particularly capable of understanding hierarchical and symmetrical interdependencies among network traffic, prevalent in 5G communications, as their architecture is distributed and layered. Supporting it is a deep autoencoder module that is employed to be capable of extracting latent symmetrical patterns, noise reduction, and improving the discriminative representation of anomaly behaviour. Model learning performance is further enhanced by the addition of a leader-influenced velocity-based spiral optimization algorithm, a novel metaheuristic, which achieves an effective exploration-exploitation trade-off. The aim here is to optimize Tree-CNN parameters, deep autoencoders, and classification thresholds, which results in improved detection accuracy but at the cost of computational practicality. In the scenario of 5G networks—where there is a sense of urgency in real-time processing and adaptive threat response—the necessity for an accuracy-speed trade-off arises. Performance measurements were performed on three benchmark datasets: UNSW-NB15, CIC-IDS 2017, and CIC-IDS 2018, which represent various traffic patterns as one would see in 5G networks, such as bursty rates of traffic and multi-modal inputs. The novel framework achieved exceptional accuracy levels of 96.02% in UNSW-NB15, 99.99% in CIC-IDS 2017, and 99.96% in CIC-IDS 2018, along with nearly perfect precision and recall rates. These results justify the capability of the system to well-detect threats with very low false negatives and positives. While design imposes a medium computational overhead, this is offset by a dramatic enhancement in detection resilience as well as scalability. What is important here is that the model demonstrates its effectiveness in 5G-supported infrastructures, where high-data-rate streams, edge processing, and latency-prone services require high-performance but guaranteed security mechanisms. The proposed symmetry-aware hybrid detection model not only promotes state-of-the-art future 5G networks. It emphasizes the significance of symmetrical pattern detection, hierarchical feature learning, and adaptive optimization as essential components in the construction of next-generation smart security systems.
