In the field of dermatology, to able to make differential diagnosis of erythemato-squamous diseases between each other accurately, is quite significant for the treatment of the disease. Especially the symptoms seen in the early stages of diseases in this group, may be very similar to each other. And this situation makes it difficult to determine accurate diagnosis for patients. Hence this study presents a data mining application for this problem in the medical field. Mentioned software tool in this study is trying to obtain correct diagnosis of erythemato-squamous diseases by using the basic and weighted K-NN algorithms on medical data. In this way, this paper presents a comparison between these two methods by evaluating and presenting the performances of them. Furthermore there is also a comparison between the Euclidean and Manhattan distance measures.

In this study, a combiner method is developed to create weekly demand forecasts for a fast-fashion apparel company. The combiner generates forecasts by combining the forecasts of three different methods through fuzzy logic. The combination weights are adaptive in the sense that the weights of the better-performing methods are increased over time. One of the three methods, which is based on product lifecycle, is relatively novel. This method is observed to be quite successful in forecasts as it can reflect the inherent regular seasonality of demand, and it allows the input of expert knowledge. The approach is illustrated through a simulation study that uses real (distorted) data from a Turkish apparel company. The combined forecast method is shown to be better than any of the methods alone.

This paper presents a concept for a hand haptic interface for use in a virtual reality environment and describes its basic experimental evaluation. The haptic interface consists of one-dimensional (1D) force display devices for each finger pad and the palm and a 3D fingertip haptic display device. The 1D force display devices are closed-loop controlled by the use of tactile sensors. The specifications of the 1D force display and experiment results at passive touch and active touch when subjects use the hand haptic interface in a virtual reality environment are presented.

The combined economic/emission dispatch (CEED) problem is obtained by considering both the economy and emission objectives with required constraints. Many optimization techniques are slow for such complex optimization tasks and are not suitable for online use. This paper presents an optimization algorithm for solving constrained CEED, through the application of a flexible Hopfield neural network (HNN). The constrained CEED must satisfy the system load demand and practical operation constraints of generators. The feasibility of the proposed HNN using to solve CEED is demonstrated using a 3-unit test system and it is compared with the other methods in terms of solution quality and computation efficiency. The simulation results showed that the proposed HNN method was indeed capable of obtaining higher quality solutions efficiently in CEED problems with a much shorter computation time compared to other methods.

In this study, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model has been developed to estimate Marshall Stability (MS) of lightweight asphalt concrete containing expanded clay. In the model, amount of bitumen (%), transition speed of ultrasound (μs), unit weight (gr/cm3) were used as inputs and Marshall Stability (kg) was used as output. Developed ANN model results and the experimental results were compared and good relationship was found.

In this paper, we propose a method to determine the best regression axis to order the noisy points for curve reconstruction. The fundamental problem of the curve reconstruction is to order the data in most suitable way. We suggested a histogram based feature to be able to determine the goodness of the order for a regression line. The method developed by using the proposed feature tested on the some synesthetic data with different noise levels. This data was selected due to the eigenvector approach gave wrong results when obtaining regression line. The results showed that the proposed method is encouraging.

Human computation is a promising approach at solving computation tasks for which humans currently perform better than computers. Archive digitization is such a task. In this paper, we present our reCAPTCHA like archive digitization system, called trCAPTCHA, mainly targeting old Turkish archives and hence Turkish speaking audience. trCAPTCHA differs from reCAPTCHA that it uses no global dictionary but constructs a local dictionary for each scanned word from alternative texts generated through OCR readings.

It is well known that the Gabor wavelet transform (GWT) provides directional information for the analysis of an image. In this paper, we proposed an approach based on the GWT by combining unsupervised Fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering which provides plays an important role in recognition as a classifier. After enhancing the edge of the input image using GWT, the binary image showing the edge is obtained using FCM clustering and morphological skeletonization. When compared to the Canny method and other conventional method, the proposed method has showed a better performance in terms of detection accuracy for noisy medical images.

This paper presents a new technique called edge detection for fast block-matching motion estimation. In order to find the matching macroblock for the current macroblock from previous frame, this technique classifies the current macroblock into shade and edge. The shade macroblock has a high probability to move in the same direction as its neighbouring macroblocks. This property has been used to decrease the computations of Mean Predictive Block Matching algorithm. The proposed technique used only the motion vectors of the neighbouring macroblocks and ignore other motion vectors that were utilized in the first search step of Mean Predictive Block Matching algorithm. Experimental results of various video sequences types showed that the proposed technique reduces the average number of search points required per macroblock for the videos, as well as keeps or enhances the resolution of some decompressed videos in comparison to the Mean Predictive Block Matching algorithm and the standard block matching algorithms.

Periodic spatio-temporal co-occurrence patterns (PECOPs) represent subsets of object-types that are often periodically located together in space and time. Discovering PECOPs is an important problem with many applications such as discovering interactions between animals and identifying tactics in games. However, mining PECOPs is computationally very expensive because the interest measures are computationally complex, databases are larger due to the archival history, and the set of candidate patterns is exponential in the number of object-types. In this paper, we define the problem of mining PECOPs, and propose a novel PECOP mining algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is computationally more efficient than the naïve alternatives.
