    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.

    Understanding the Psychological and Financial Correlates for Consumer Credit Use;
    (Sosyoekonomi Society, 2024) Ertuğrul, Seyit; Sayar, Alperen; Çakar, Tuna; Çakar,Tuna; Ertuğru, Seyit; 02.02. Department of Computer Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF University
    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.

    (Data science and applications, 2023) Sayar, Alperen; Çakar, Tuna; Çakar, Tuna; Şengüloğlu, Dilara; Ertuğrul, Seyit; 02.02. Department of Computer Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF University
    One of the application fields of DISC selfevaluation analysis was introduced to predict people's performance and orientation in their working life. Each letter in the word DISC represents an essential personal characteristic, dividing the profiles of people in business life into four essential parts. In the current study, DISC analysis is conducted on job postings to match the person with the job posting. The current study was based on the analysis of 3 different datasets with job postings in English, Turkish and Romanian prepared by using web scraping methods and then labeled in accordance with DISC criteria. Several different machine learning algorithms have been performed on the DISC analysis outputs, and they reached the best results with accuracy values of around over 96% on the English dataset, around over 95% on the Turkish dataset, and around over 96% on the Romanian dataset, for both D, I, S, C models.

    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.

    Ssqem: Semi-Supervised Quantum Error Mitigation
    (IEEE, 2022) Sayar, Alperen; Arslan Suayb S.; Çakar, Tuna; Arslan, Şefik Şuayb; Cakar, Tuna; 02.02. Department of Computer Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF University
    One of the fundamental obstacles for quantum computation (especially in noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era) to be a near-term reality is the manufacturing gate/measurement technologies that make the system state quite fragile due to decoherence. As the world we live in is quite far away from the ideal, complex particle-level material imperfections due to interactions with the environment are an inevitable part of the computation process. Hence keeping the accurate state of the particles involved in the computation becomes almost impossible. In this study, we posit that any physical quantum computer sys-tem manifests more multiple error source processes as the number of qubits as well as depth of the circuit increase. Accordingly, we propose a semi-supervised quantum error mitigation technique consisting of two separate stages each based on an unsupervised and a supervised machine learning model, respectively. The proposed scheme initially learns the error types/processes and then compensates the error due to data processing and the projective measurement all in the computational basis. © 2022 IEEE.

    (IEEE, 2022) Çakar, Tuna; Çakar, Tuna; Sayar, Alperen; Sahin, Türkay; Bozkan, Tunahan; 02.02. Department of Computer Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF University
    Although the predictive power of economic metrics to detect the creditworthiness of the customers is high, there is a rising interest in the integration of cognitive, psychological, behavioral, alternative, and demographic data into credit risk systems and processing the data through modern methods. The primary motivation for the rising interest is increased customer classification accuracy. In this research, customer creditworthiness was modeled through data consisting of personality, money attitudes, impulsivity, self-esteem, self-control, and material values and processed through artificial intelligence. The obtained findings have been evaluated as a reference point for the following research. © 2022 IEEE.
