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.

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.
Mention Detection in Turkish Coreference Resolution
(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2024) Demir, Seniz; Akdag, Hanifi Ibrahim
A crucial step in understanding natural language is detecting mentions that refer to real-world entities in a text and correctly identifying their boundaries. Mention detection is commonly considered a preprocessing step in coreference resolution which is shown to be helpful in several language processing applications such as machine translation and text summarization. Despite recent efforts on Turkish coreference resolution, no standalone neural solution to mention detection has been proposed yet. In this article, we present two models designed for detecting Turkish mentions by using feed-forward neural networks. Both models extract all spans up to a fixed length from input text as candidates and classify them as mentions or not mentions. The models differ in terms of how candidate text spans are represented. The first model represents a span by focusing on its first and last words, whereas the representation also covers the preceding and proceeding words of a span in the second model. Mention span representations are formed by using contextual embeddings, part-of-speech embeddings, and named-entity embeddings of words in interest where contextual embeddings are obtained from pretrained Turkish language models. In our evaluation studies, we not only assess the impact of mention representation strategies on system performance but also demonstrate the usability of different pretrained language models in resolution task. We argue that our work provides useful insights to the existing literature and the first step in understanding the effectiveness of neural architectures in Turkish mention detection.

Warning Notes in a Learner’s Dictionary: a Study of the Effectiveness of Different Formats
(International Journal of Lexicography, 2022) Çakar, Tuna; Nesi, Hilary; Nural, Şükrü
This study used an online correction task to explore the extent to which different types of warning notes in Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English Online were heeded when users tried to correct errors in the use of L2 target words. The task was completed by 332 participants, yielding 1,819 answers produced after clicking on links to relevant entries. Warning notes were categorised in terms of their formatting features, but there were found to be inconsistencies in the way the dictionary associated different categories with different kinds of learner error. Participants judged warning notes with more visual enhancements to be more useful, but in the correction task the position of the warning notes also seemed to affect the degree to which the warnings were successfully applied. Different types of warning notes in learners’ dictionaries have not been examined previously in any depth, and the results suggest that some adjustments to formatting and placement might make them more effective.
