A Novel Genetic Algorithm-Based Improvement Model for Online Communities and Trust Networks
(IOS Press, 2020) Bekmezci, ilker; Cimen, Egemen Berkic; Ermiş, Murat
Social network analysis offers an understanding of our modern world, and it affords the ability to represent, analyze and even simulate complex structures. While an unweighted model can be used for online communities, trust or friendship networks should be analyzed with weighted models. To analyze social networks, it is essential to produce realistic social models. However, there are serious differences between social network models and real-life data in terms of their fundamental statistical parameters. In this paper, a genetic algorithm (GA)-based social network improvement method is proposed to produce social networks more similar to real-life data sets. First, it creates a social model based on existing studies in the literature, and then it improves the model with the proposed GA-based approach based on the similarity of the average degree, the k-nearest neighbor, the clustering coefficient, degree distribution and link overlap. This study can be used to model the structural and statistical properties of large-scale societies more realistically. The performance results show that our approach can reduce the dissimilarity between the created social networks and the real-life data sets in terms of their primary statistical properties. It has been shown that the proposed GA-based approach can be used effectively not only in unweighted networks but also in weighted networks.

Understanding the Psychological and Financial Correlates for Consumer Credit Use;
(Sosyoekonomi Society, 2024) Ertuğrul, Seyit; Sayar, Alperen; Şahin, Türkay; Çakar,Tuna
This study investigated the behavioural and cognitive predictors of consumer credit usage to develop a behavioural credit risk assessment procedure for a factoring company. Participants completed surveys measuring personality traits, self-esteem, material and monetary values, compulsive and impulsive buying tendencies, self-control, and impulsiveness. Financial surveys also assessed financial literacy and knowledge of financial concepts. The results indicated that extraversion, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and experiential self-control were significant predictors of consumer credit usage. These findings suggest that a finance company can use these personality traits and financial characteristics to develop a more accurate and effective credit risk assessment procedure, such as psychometric tests. © 2024, Sosyoekonomi Society.

Classification of Skin Lesion Images With Deep Learning Approaches
(University of Latvia, 2022) Kulavuz, Bahadır; Ertuğrul, Berkay; Bakırman, Tolga; Çakar, Tuna; Doğan, Metehan; Bayram, Bülent; Bayram, Buket
Skin cancer is one of the most dangerous cancer types in the world. Like any other cancer type, early detection is the key factor for the patient's recovery. Integration of artificial intelligence with medical image processing can aid to decrease misdiagnosis. The purpose of the article is to show that deep learning-based image classification can aid doctors in the healthcare field for better diagnosis of skin lesions. VGG16 and ResNet50 architectures were chosen to examine the effect of CNN networks on the classification of skin cancer types. For the implementation of these networks, the ISIC 2019 Challenge has been chosen due to the richness of data. As a result of the experiments, confusion matrices were obtained and it was observed that ResNet50 architecture achieved 91.23% accuracy and VGG16 architecture 83.89% accuracy. The study shows that deep learning methods can be sufficiently exploited for skin lesion image classification. © 2022 Baltic Journal of Modern Computing. All rights reserved.

Identification of Candidate Biomarkers and Pathways in Breast Cancer by Differential Network Analysis
(Inderscience Publishers, 2020) Mendi, Onur; Karahoca, Adem
Breast cancer is one of the most malignant cancers in women worldwide. The aim of the present study was to explore the underlying biological mechanisms of breast cancer. For this purpose, we propose a novel framework to reveal mechanisms that drive disease progression in breast cancer by combining prior knowledge in the literature with differential networking methodology. Our integration framework has resulted in the most important genes and interactions by allowing ranking the breast cancer-specific gene network. YY1, SMARCA5, FOXM1, STAT4 and PTTG1 were found to be the most important genes in breast cancer. Functional and pathway enrichment analyses identified numerous pathways that may play a critical role in disease progression. Considering the success of the comparison of the results with the literature, the systemic lupus erythematosus pathway may be a potential target of breast cancer.
