The amplifiers that are used on communication systems in order to increase the productivity, are worked on the nonlinear region. Therefore, digital communication channel can be defined as a Wiener block structure that contains a linear dynamic system and a non-linear static block. In this study, the nonlinear channel equalization problem, a Wiener block structured communication channel is tried to equalize by using a Hammerstein block structure. In order to do that performance of the suggested approach is investigated with LMS and RLS algorithms. The convergence rates of these adaptive algorithms are compared on the real valued data transmission so that LMS algorithm is observed slower convergence but less complex, RLS algorithm is observed much faster convergence rate.

Summary form only given. Humans communicate through natural modalities such as speech, sketching, facial expressions and gestures. Even eye-gaze and forces felt through physical interaction supply subtle, but important, bits of information in human-human communication. However, our communication with computers is primarily over ancient hardware such as mice and keyboards. A new generation of user interfaces, called intelligent or natural user interfaces is on the rise. These interfaces advocate smart and natural interaction that are also engaging and fun. In this tutorial, we well briefly survey the filed of intelligent user interfaces, give examples of existing systems. We will discuss supporting technologies (such as classification, regression, computer vision, and tracking), and supporting hardware including haptic interfaces, pen-based devices, camera and microphone arrays. We will also cover interaction design tools, design principles and techniques including wizard-of-oz evaluations, and paper prototypes.

In this study, the noise cancellation problem on noise corrupted low-frequency signals by using the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) method is considered. For this aim, the Intrinsic Mode (IM) functions of the low-frequency signal corrupted by white Gaussian noise are obtained by applying EMD on this signal. Savitzky-Golay filter and Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM) regression are separately applied to the signal reconstructed using the low-frequency ones of the IM functions, and the estimation performance of the original noiseless signal is examined. It is observed from the simulations that a satisfactory result is achieved via LS-SVM regression.

In this paper, two different physical layer network coding (PLNC) systems that apply antenna selection technique at the relay, consisting of two single-antenna terminals and a multi-antenna relay are proposed. The bound expressions of symbol error rate (SER) of the systems over frequency non-selective and slowly Rayleigh fading channels for M-PSK modulation are derived by using the moment generating function (MGF) method. In addition, Monte Carlo SER simulation results are given for both systems. According to the obtained theoretical and simulation results, diversity order of the systems is equal to the number of total antennas at the relay, and thus it is shown that error performance of the conventional PLNC system is significantly improved by the proposed systems. Also, SER performances of the proposed systems are compared with each other.

In this paper, using “context tree weighting method”, a novel classification algorithm is proposed for real time machine learning applications, which is mathematically shown to be “competitive” with respect to a certain class of algorithms. The computational complexity of our algorithm is independent with the amount of data to be processed and linearly controllable. The proposed algorithm, hence, is highly scalable. In our experiments, our algorithm is observed to provide a comparable classification performance to the Support Vector Machines with Gaussian kernel with 40~1000× computational efficiency in the training phase and 5~35× in the test phase.

Removing the pectoral muscle from the mammogram images is a very important step for computer aided cancer diagnosis methods due to the fact that pectoral muscle having similar properties with the abnormal tissue. This is a hard task since the pectoral muscle can be in various shapes, sizes, and densities. In this paper; firstly Canny edge detection method was used to identify a reference area that covered a certain amount of the pectoral muscle. Afterwards, the average color values of the image remaining in the reference area is found which is converted to the L*a*b* color space before and the distance of all pixels from the this average value is computed. In this new image consisting of color differences, pixels that are close to the mean value are marked as the pectoral muscle. The study was done on 40 mammograms images taken from the Mini-MIAS database. The results obtained were evaluated by an expert radiologist and borders of pectoral muscle taking place in 36 mammograms were determined as acceptable.

In this paper, convexity properties of outage probability are investigated under Rayleigh fading for an average power-constrained communications system that employs maximal-ratio combining (MRC) at the receiver. By studying the first and second order derivatives of the outage probability with respect to the transmitted signal power, it is found out that the outage probability is a monotonically decreasing function with a single inflection point. This observation suggests the possibility of improving the outage performance via on-off type power randomization/sharing under stringent average transmit power constraints. It is shown that the results can also be extended to the selection combining (SC) technique in a straightforward manner. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the theoretical results.

There are many application areas for wireless sensor networks, such as security, health, and emergency. Recent research studies show that, voice over wireless sensor network applications are possible especially for emergency and rescue missions. In this study, by using 6.3 kbps G.723.1 codec, voice over ZigBee wireless sensor networks experiments are made. The results are examined based on packet loss and MOS voice quality metrics. It is shown that, acceptable quality voice over ZigBee networks is possible in an indoor linear mesh topology wireless sensor network containing up to 4 hops, which are between 10-80 meters. In an outdoor single hop network topology, ranging between 10-80 meters, acceptable voice quality is observed up to 60 meters.

In this work, modulation diversity is exploited for two way relay channel through which multiple sources transmit information to each other. Under a basic framework with two sources and a single relay, a system applying modulation diversity technique together with decode-and-forward (DF) and amplify-and-forward (AF) protocols is proposed. The performance of the proposed scheme is investigated through simulation results and modulation diversity is shown to improve the performance in terms of symbol error rate for both two protocols.

In this study, the locus equations of Turkish plosives are examined. The speech database including all the combinations of Turkish plosives and vowels is prepared for this purpose. The formant frequencies of plosives and successive vowels are manually determined for the speech data in the database. The locus equations for Turkish plosives are determined by using this data. The observations show that the parameters of locus equations can be a very distinctive feature for Turkish plosives.
