    EAFT: Evolutionary algorithms for GCC flag tuning
    (MEF Üniversitesi, 2023) Çakar, Tuna; Çakar, Tuna; 02.02. Department of Computer Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF University
    The runtime of written codes is a matter of great importance, especially for code that is compiled once and executed multiple times. It is very important for developers to ensure that the resources required by a code are used as efficiently as possible, and that the runtime is as low as possible. Developers who use compilers such as GCC or LLVM to compile and run code written in C or C++ can optimize their code manually and, with certain optimization pointers, are able to make it run faster. This will provide the shorter runtime, but completıng this manual optimization is within the abilities of every developer since determining the right combination from more than 200 flags requires significant expertise. Many studies have tackled this issue. In this study, Evolutionary Algorithms for GCC Flag Tuning (EAFT) have been developed as a solution to this problem. This Autotuner, which is completely open-source, runs the code provided by the end user according to the specifications also selected by the end user, and searches for the most suitable optimization markers. For the code to be given In line with this study, which specifically addresses the end user, the user can input the code path directly from the Terminal, as well as specify the selection method and the crossover to be used. These choices can be made without the need to alter the code. The genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization to be used is also presented to the user in EAFT, and unlike in other studies, genetic algorithm contain not one but several models.

    Designing restorative landscapes for students: A Kansei engineering approach enhanced by VR and EEG technologies
    (Elsevier, 2024) Karaca, Elif; Çakar, Tuna; Karaca, Mehmet; Gul, Hasan Huseyin Mirac; Hüseyin Miraç Gül, Hasan; 02.02. Department of Computer Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF University
    This study explores the alignment of specific landscape features within school environments with the core elements of Attention Restoration Theory (ART) that includes Coherence, Fascination, Compatibility, and Being Away. Utilizing Kansei Engineering, this research integrates emotional analysis into landscape design by employing Virtual Reality (VR) and Electroencephalogram (EEG) technologies to record students' responses to different landscape simulations. Analytical techniques, including the Taguchi Method and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), were applied to evaluate the data. The findings have revealed that students associate a sense of enclosure with a coherent landscape and openness with a fascinating landscape, the lawn's significance was also highlighted for coherent landscape. However, limited insights were gained regarding Compatibility and Being Away. The study advocates for diverse cognitive zones within school landscapes to promote mental restoration, emphasizing the need for varied design elements that cater to the elevated experience of students.

    Unraveling Neural Pathways of Political Engagement: Bridging Neuromarketing and Political Science for Understanding Voter Behavior and Political Leader Perception
    (Frontiers Media SA, 2023) Çakar, Tuna; Filiz, Gözde; Çakar, Tuna; 02.02. Department of Computer Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF University
    Political neuromarketing is an interdisciplinary field that combines marketing, neuroscience, and psychology to understand voter behavior and political leader perception. This interdisciplinary field offers novel techniques to understand complex phenomena such as voter engagement, political leadership, and party branding. This study aims to understand the neural activation patterns of voters when they are exposed to political leaders using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and machine learning methods. We recruited participants and recorded their brain activity using fNIRS when they were exposed to images of different political leaders. This neuroimaging method (fNIRS) reveals brain regions central to brand perception, including the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC), and the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC). Machine learning methods were used to predict the participants' perceptions of leaders based on their brain activity. The study has identified the brain regions that are involved in processing political stimuli and making judgments about political leaders. Within this study, the best-performing machine learning model, LightGBM, achieved a highest accuracy score of 0.78, underscoring its efficacy in predicting voters' perceptions of political leaders based on the brain activity of the former. The findings from this study provide new insights into the neural basis of political decision-making and the development of effective political marketing campaigns while bridging neuromarketing, political science and machine learning, in turn enabling predictive insights into voter preferences and behavior

    An Exploratory Study on the Effect of Contour Types on Decision Making Via Optic Brain Imaging Method (fnirs)
    (eScholarship, 2023) Demircioglu, Esin Tuna; Çakar, Tuna; Çakar, Tuna; 02.02. Department of Computer Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF University
    Decision-making is a combination of our positive anticipations from the future with the contribution of our past experiences, emotions, and what we perceive at the moment. Therefore, the cues perceived from the environment play an important role in shaping the decisions. Contours, which are the hidden identity of the objects, are among these cues. Aesthetic evaluation, on the other hand, has been shown to have a profound impact on decision-making, both as a subjective experience of beauty and as having an evolutionary background. The aim of this empirical study is to explain the effect of contour types on preference decisions in the prefrontal cortex through risk-taking and aesthetic appraisal. The obtained findings indicated a relation between preference decision, contour type, and PFC subregion. The results of the current study suggest that contour type is an effective cue in decision-making, furthermore, left OFC and right dlPFC respond differently to contour types.

    Eaft: Evolutionary Algorithms for Gcc Flag Tuning
    (IEEE, 2022) Tagtekin, Burak; Çakar, Tuna; 02.02. Department of Computer Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF University
    Due to limited resources, some methods come to the fore in finding and applying the factors that affect the working time of the code. The most common one is choosing the correct GCC flags using heuristic algorithms. For the codes compiled with GCC, the selection of optimization flags directly affects the speed of the processing, however, choosing the right one among hundreds of markers during this process is a resource consuming problem. This article explains how to solve the GCC flag optimization problem with EAFT. Rather than other autotuner tools such as Opentuner, EAFT is an optimized tool for GCC marker selection. Search infrastructure has been developed with particle swarm optimization and genetic algorithm with diffent submodels rather than using only Genetic Algorithm like FOGA. © 2022 IEEE.

    Dog Walker Segmentation
    (IEEE, 2022) Ercan, Alperen; Çakar, Tuna; Çakar, Tuna; 02.02. Department of Computer Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF University
    In this study dog walkers were separated into clusters according to walkers' walk habits. Due to the fact that the distributions were non-normal, normalization algorithms were applied before the onset of clustering. After normalizing, K Means algorithm and Gaussian Mixture Models used for finding optimum cluster count. According to these clusters, walkers' consecutive months separated to follow-up their behavioral traits. This part of the study adds value to the project to examine walkers' behaviors closer.
