Öğe A novel approach for spam email detection based on shifted binary patterns(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016-01-11) Kaya, Yılmaz; Ertuğrul, Ömer FarukAdvances in communication allow people flexibility to communicate in various ways. Electronic mail (email) is one of the most used communication methods for personal or business purposes. However, it brings one of the most tackling issues, called spam email, which also raises concerns about data safety. Thus, the requirement of detecting spams is crucial for keeping the users safe and saving them from the waste of time while tackling those issues. In this study, an effective approach based on the probability of the usage of the characters that has similar orders with respect to their UTF-8 value by employing shifted one-dimensional local binary pattern (shifted-1D-LBP) was used to extract quantitative features from emails for spam email detection. Shifted-1D-LBP, which can be described as an ordered set of binary comparisons of the center value with its neighboring values, is a content-based approach to spam detection with low-level information. To validate the performance of the proposed approach, three benchmark corpora, Spamassasian, Ling-Spam, and TREC email corpuses, were used. The average classification accuracies of the proposed approach were 92.34%, 92.57%, and 95.15%, respectively. Analysis and promising experimental results indicated that the proposed approach was a very competitive feature extraction method in spam email filtering.Öğe Forecasting financial indicators by generalized behavioral learning method(Springer Nature, 2017-08-09) Ertuğrul, Ömer Faruk; Tağluk, Mehmet EminForecasting financial indicators (indexes/prices) is a complex and a quite difficult issue because they depend on many factors such as political events, financial ratios, and economic variables. Also, the psychological facts or decision-making styles of investors or experts are other major reasons for this difficulty. In this study, a generalized behavioral learning method (GBLM) was employed to forecast financial indicators, which are the indexes/prices of 34 different financial indicators (24 stock indexes, 2 forexes, 3 financial futures, and 5 commodities). The achieved results were compared with the reported results in the literature and the obtained results by artificial neural network, which is widely used and suggested for forecasting financial indicators. These results showed that GBLM can be successfully employed in short-term forecasting financial indicators by detecting hidden market behavior (pattern) from their previous values. Also, the results showed that GBLM has the ability to track the fluctuation and the main trend.Öğe Gender classification from facial images using gray relational analysis with novel local binary pattern descriptors(Springer Nature, 2016-11-18) Kaya, Yılmaz; Ertuğrul, Ömer FarukGender classification (GC) is one of the major tasks in human identification that increase its accuracy. Local binary pattern (LBP) is a texture method that employed successfully. But LBP suffers a major problem; it cannot capture spatial relationships among local textures. Therefore, in order to increase the accuracy of GC, two LBP descriptors, which are based on (1) spatial relations between neighbors with a distance parameter, and (2) spatial relations between a reference pixel and its neighbor on the same orientation, were employed to extract features from facial images. Additionally, gray relational analysis (GRA) was carried out to identify gender through extracted features. Experiments on the FEI database illustrated the effectiveness of the proposed approaches. Achieved accuracies are 97.14, 93.33, and 92.50% by applying GRA with the nLBPd, dLBPα, and traditional LBP features, respectively. Experimental results indicated that the proposed approaches were very competitive feature extraction methods in GC. Present work also showed that the nLBPd, dLBPα methods were obtained more acceptable results than traditional LBP.Öğe A novel approach for SEMG signal classification with adaptive local binary pattern(Springer Nature, 2015-12-31) Ertuğrul, Ömer Faruk; Kaya, Yılmaz; Tekin, RamazanFeature extraction plays a major role in the pattern recognition process, and this paper presents a novel feature extraction approach, adaptive local binary pattern (aLBP). aLBP is built on the local binary pattern (LBP), which is an image processing method, and one-dimensional local binary pattern (1D-LBP). In LBP, each pixel is compared with its neighbors. Similarly, in 1D-LBP, each data in the raw is judged against its neighbors. 1D-LBP extracts feature based on local changes in the signal. Therefore, it has high a potential to be employed in medical purposes. Since, each action or abnormality, which is recorded in SEMG signals, has its own pattern, and via the 1D-LBP these (hidden) patterns may be detected. But, the positions of the neighbors in 1D-LBP are constant depending on the position of the data in the raw. Also, both LBP and 1D-LBP are very sensitive to noise. Therefore, its capacity in detecting hidden patterns is limited. To overcome these drawbacks, aLBP was proposed. In aLBP, the positions of the neighbors and their values can be assigned adaptively via the down-sampling and the smoothing coefficients. Therefore, the potential to detect (hidden) patterns, which may express an illness or an action, is really increased. To validate the proposed feature extraction approach, two different datasets were employed. Achieved accuracies by the proposed approach were higher than obtained results by employed popular feature extraction approaches and the reported results in the literature. Obtained accuracy results were brought out that the proposed method can be employed to investigate SEMG signals. In summary, this work attempts to develop an adaptive feature extraction scheme that can be utilized for extracting features from local changes in different categories of time-varying signals.Öğe Two novel versions of randomized feed forward artificial neural networks: Stochastic and pruned stochastic(Springer Nature, 2017-11-13) Ertuğrul, Ömer FarukAlthough high accuracies were achieved by artificial neural network (ANN), determining the optimal number of neurons in the hidden layer and the activation function is still an open issue. In this paper, the applicability of assigning the number of neurons in the hidden layer and the activation function randomly was investigated. Based on the findings, two novel versions of randomized ANNs, which are stochastic, and pruned stochastic, were proposed to achieve a higher accuracy without any time-consuming optimization stage. The proposed approaches were evaluated and validated by the basic versions of the popular randomized ANNs [1] are the random weight neural network [2], the random vector functional links [3] and the extreme learning machine [4] methods. In the stochastic version of randomized ANNs, not only the weights and biases of the neurons in the hidden layer but also the number of neurons in the hidden layer and each activation function were assigned randomly. In pruned stochastic version of these methods, the winner networks were pruned according to a novel strategy in order to produce a faster response. Proposed approaches were validated via 60 datasets (30 classification and 30 regression datasets). Obtained accuracies and time usages showed that both versions of randomized ANNs can be employed for classification and regression.Öğe A novel feature extraction approach in SMS spam filtering for mobile communication: one-dimensional ternary patterns(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016-10-19) Kaya, Yılmaz; Ertuğrul, Ömer FarukThe importance and utilization of mobile communication are increasing day by day, and the short message service (SMS) is one of them. Although SMS is a widely used communication way, it brings together a major problem, which is SMS spam messages. SMS spams do not only use vain in the mobile communication traffic but also disturb users. Based on this fact, blacklisting methods, statistical methods which are built on the frequency of occurrence of words or characters, and machine learning methods have been employed. Because punishments and legal laws are not enough to solve this problem and the Group Special Mobile number of SMS spam can easily be changed, a content-based approach must be proposed. Content-based methods showed high success in spam e-mail filtering, but it is hard in the SMS spam filtering because SMS messages are extremely short and generally contains many abbreviations. In this study, an image processing method, local ternary pattern was improved to extract features from SMS messages in the feature extraction stage. In the proposed one-dimensional ternary patterns, firstly, text message was converted to their UTF-8 values. Later, each character (its UTF-8 value) in the message was compared with its neighbors. Two different feature sets were extracted from the results of these comparisons. Finally, some machine learning methods were employed to classify these features. In order to validate the proposed approach, three different SMS corpora were used. The achieved accuracies and other employee performance measures showed that the proposed approach, one-dimensional ternary patterns, can be effectively employed in SMS spam filtering.
