Publication Metadata only A hybrid method for feature selection based on mutual information and canonical correlation analysis(2010) Sakar, C. Okan; Kursun, Olcay; Sakar, C. Okan, Department of Computer Engineering, Bahçeşehir Üniversitesi, Istanbul, Turkey; Kursun, Olcay, Department of Computer Engineering, Istanbul Üniversitesi, Istanbul, TurkeyMutual Information (MI) is a classical and widely used dependence measure that generally can serve as a good feature selection algorithm. However, under-sampled classes or rare but certain relations are overlooked by this measure, which can result in missing relevant features that could be very predictive of variables of interest, such as certain phenotypes or disorders in biomedical research, rare but dangerous factors in ecology, intrusions in network systems, etc. On the other hand, Kernel Canonical Correlation Analysis (KCCA) is a nonlinear correlation measure effectively used to detect independence but its use for feature selection or ranking is limited due to the fact that its formulation is not intended to measure the amount of information (entropy) of the dependence. In this paper, we propose Predictive Mutual Information (PMI), a hybrid measure of relevance not only is based on MI but also accounts for predictability of signals from one another as in KCCA. We show that PMI has more improved feature detection capability than MI and KCCA, especially in catching suspicious coincidences that are rare but potentially important not only for subsequent experimental studies but also for building computational predictive models which is demonstrated on two toy datasets and a real intrusion detection system dataset. © 2010 IEEE. © 2010 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Publication Metadata only Prediction of protein sub-nuclear location by clustering mRMR ensemble feature selection(2010) Sakar, C. Okan; Kursun, Olcay; Şeker, Hüseyin; Gürgen, Fïkret S.; Sakar, C. Okan, Department of Computer Engineering, Bahçeşehir Üniversitesi, Istanbul, Turkey; Kursun, Olcay, Department of Computer Engineering, Istanbul Üniversitesi, Istanbul, Turkey; Şeker, Hüseyin, Department of Informatics, De Montfort University, Leicester, United Kingdom; Gürgen, Fïkret S., Department of Computer Engineering, Boğaziçi Üniversitesi, Bebek, TurkeyIn many applications of pattern recognition in the bioinformatics and biomedical fields, input variables are organized into natural partitions that are called views in the literature. Mutual information can be used in selecting a minimal yet capable subset of views. Ignoring the presence of views, dismantling them, and treating their variables intermixed along with those of others at best results in a complex uninterpretable predictive system for researchers in these fields. Moreover, it would require measuring or computing majority of the views. We use the clustering indices of the views and rank the views according to the unique information they have with the target using minimum redundancy-maximum relevance (mRMR) approach. We also propose an ensemble approach to reduce the random variations in clusterings. © 2010 IEEE. © 2010 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Publication Metadata only Feature extraction for facial expression recognition by canonical correlation analysis, Kanoni̇k korelasyon anali̇zi̇ i̇le yüz i̇fadesi̇nden duygu tanima i̇çi̇n özni̇teli̇ k çikarimi(2012) Sakar, C. Okan; Kursun, Olcay; Karaali, Ali; Erdem, Cigdem Eroglu; Sakar, C. Okan, Bahçeşehir Üniversitesi, Istanbul, Turkey; Kursun, Olcay, Istanbul Üniversitesi, Istanbul, Turkey; Karaali, Ali, Bahçeşehir Üniversitesi, Istanbul, Turkey; Erdem, Cigdem Eroglu, Bahçeşehir Üniversitesi, Istanbul, TurkeyAlthough several methods have been proposed for fusing different image representations obtained by different preprocessing methods for emotion recognition from the facial expression in a given image, the dependencies and relations among them have not been much investigated. In this study, it has been shown that covariates obtained by Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) that extracts relations between different representations have high predictive power for emotion recognition. As high prediction accuracy can be achieved using a small number of features extracted by it, CCA is considered to be a good dimensionality reduction method. For our simulations, we used the CK+ database and showed that covariates obtained from difference-images and geometric-features representations have high prediction accuracy. © 2012 IEEE. © 2012 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Publication Metadata only Combining spatial proximity and temporal continuity for learning invariant representations(2012) Kursun, Olcay; Aytekin, Tevfik; Kursun, Olcay, Department of Computer Engineering, Istanbul Üniversitesi, Istanbul, Turkey; Aytekin, Tevfik, Department of Computer Engineering, Bahçeşehir Üniversitesi, Istanbul, TurkeyLocation and time are two critical aspects of most security-related events, and thus, spatiotemporal data analysis plays a central role in many security-related applications. The human brain has great capabilities of developing invariant representations of objects by taking advantage of both spatial similarity of features of objects/events and their relative timings (temporal information). Trace learning rule is one well-known solution for this problem of combining temporal relations with spatial proximity in clustering tasks such as the one performed by self organizing maps. In this work, we investigate a two stage mechanism: i) finding local clusters using spatial proximity, ii) grouping these clusters as suggested by temporal continuity patterns. We show our experimental results on a movie created from face images. © 2012 IEEE. © 2013 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Publication Metadata only Feature extraction based on discriminative alternating regression(Springer Verlag [email protected], 2014) Sakar, C. Okan; Kursun, Olcay; Gürgen, Fïkret S.; Sakar, C. Okan, Department of Computer Engineering, Bahçeşehir Üniversitesi, Istanbul, Turkey; Kursun, Olcay, Department of Computer Engineering, Istanbul Üniversitesi, Istanbul, Turkey; Gürgen, Fïkret S., Department of Computer Engineering, Boğaziçi Üniversitesi, Bebek, TurkeyCanonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) aims at measuring linear relationships between two sets of variables (views). Recently, CCA has been used for feature extraction in classification problems with multiview data by means of view fusion. However, the extracted correlated features with CCA may not be discriminative since CCA does not utilize the class labels in its traditional formulation. Besides, the CCA features are computed based on within-set and between-set sample covariance matrices of the views which can be very sensitive to representation-specific details and noisy samples of the two views. In this paper, we propose a method, D-AR (Discriminative Alternating Regression), in which the two above-mentioned problems encountered in the application of CCA for feature extraction are addressed: (1) the class labels are incorporated into the proposed feature fusion framework to explore correlated and also discriminative features, and (2) the use of sensitive sample covariates matrices is avoided while fusing the two views. D-AR is a supervised feature fusion approach based on Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) implementation of alternating regression. From the neurobiological perspective, the architecture of D-AR is similar to the model of a single neuron in the cerebral cortex which has a function of discovering and representing one of the hidden factors in its sensory environment. The MLP trained on each view aims to predict the class labels and also the hidden factors which are responsible for the correlation. We show that the features found by D-AR on training sets accomplishes significantly higher classification accuracies on test set of an experimental dataset. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Publication Metadata only Prediction of level and abrupt changes of ozon concentration, Ozon seviyesi ve ani deǧişimlerinin kestirimi(IEEE Computer Society [email protected], 2014) Develi, Ahmet; Kursun, Olcay; Erdogdu Sakar, Betul; Develi, Ahmet, Istanbul Üniversitesi, Istanbul, Turkey; Kursun, Olcay, Istanbul Üniversitesi, Istanbul, Turkey; Erdogdu Sakar, Betul, Bahçeşehir Üniversitesi, Istanbul, TurkeyWhile, in stratosphere, high level ozone concentration protects the Earth against ultraviolet radiation, in lower troposphere it has negative effects on human health and environment. The goal of this study is to determine the feature groups that are related to abrupt changes in the level of ozone. Linear discriminant analysis and support vector machines methods are used to explore which combination of features are predictive of abrupt changes in ozone level on the simulation dataset collected in Ankara, Turkey, by an automatic air quality monitoring station operated by the ministry of environment and urban planning. The dataset consists of one year of measurements of air pollutants and the meteorological factors. The obtained results showed that particulate matters, nitric oxides and temperature are most effective parameters in the classification of absurt rise and fall in the level of ozone. © 2014 IEEE. © 2014 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
