    Data Repair in Bs-Assisted Distributed Data Caching
    (IEEE, 2020-10-05) Kaya, Erdi; Haytaoğlu, Elif; Arslan, Şuayb Şefik
    In this paper, centralized and independent repair approaches based on device-to-device communication for the repair of the lost nodes have been investigated in a cellular network where distributed caching is applied whose fault tolerance is provided by erasure codes. The caching mechanisms based on Reed-Solomon codes and minimum bandwidth regenerating codes are adopted. The proposed approaches are analyzed in a simulation environment in terms of base station utilization load during the repair process. Based on the intuitive assumption that the base station is usually more costly than device-to-device communication, the centralized repair approach demonstrates a better performance than the independent repair approaches on the number of symbols retrieved from the base station. On the other hand, the centralized approach has not achieved a dramatic reduction in the number of symbols downloaded from the other devices.

    Adaptive Boosting of Dnn Ensembles for Brain-Computer Interface Spellers
    (IEEE, 2021-06-09) Çatak, Yiğit; Aksoy, Can; Özkan, Hüseyin; Güney, Osman Berke; Koç, Emirhan; Arslan, Şuayb Şefik
    Steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP) are commonly used in brain computer interface (BCI) applications such as spelling systems, due to their advantages over other paradigms. In this study, we develop a method for SSVEP-based BCI speller systems, using a known deep neural network (DNN), which includes transfer and ensemble learning techniques. We test performance of our method on publicly available benchmark and BETA datasets with leave-one-subject-out procedure. Our method consists of two stages. In the first stage, a global DNN is trained using data from all subjects except one subject that is excluded for testing. In the second stage, the global model is fine-tuned to each subject whose data are used in the training. Combining the responses of trained DNNs with different weights for each test subject, rather than an equal weight, provide better performance as brain signals may differ significantly between individuals. To this end, weights of DNNs are learnt with SAMME algorithm with using data belonging to the test subject. Our method significantly outperforms canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and filter bank canonical correlation analysis (FBCCA) methods.

    Average Bandwidth-Cost Vs. Storage Trade-Off for Bs-Assisted Distributed Storage Networks
    (IEEE, 2021-06-09) Tengiz, Ayse Ceyda; Haytaoğlu, Elif; Pusane, Ali Emre; Arslan, Şuayb Şefik; Pourmandi, Massoud
    In this study, we consider a hierarchically structured base station (BS)-assisted cellular system equipped with a backend distributed data storage in which nodes randomly arrive and depart the cell. We numerically motivate and characterize the fundamental trade-off between the average repair bandwidth cost versus storage space where BS communication cost (higher than that of local) and link capacity constraints exist while the number of failed nodes can vary dynamically. We establish the capacity region that is most relevant to 5G and beyond networks, which are layered by design. We hope that this study shall motivate novel regeneration code constructions that will be able to achieve the presented limits.

    Cost of Guessing: Applications To Data Repair
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020-06-01) Arslan, Şuayb Şefik; Haytaoğlu, Elif
    In this paper, we introduce the notion of cost of guessing and provide an optimal strategy for guessing a random variable taking values on a finite set whereby each choice may be associated with a positive finite cost value. Moreover, we drive asymptotically tight upper and lower bounds on the moments of cost of guessing problem. Similar to previous studies on the standard guesswork, established bounds on moments quantify the accumulated cost of guesses required for correctly identifying the unknown choice and are expressed in terms of the Rényi's entropy. A new random variable is introduced to bridge between cost of guessing and the standard guesswork and establish the guessing cost exponent on the moments of the optimal guessing. Furthermore, these bounds are shown to serve quite useful for finding repair latency cost for distributed data storage in which sparse graph codes may be utilized.

    Kernel Density Estimation for Optimal Detection in All-Bit Mlc Flash Memories
    (IEEE, 2019-04-01) Arslan, Şuayb Şefik; Ashraf, Reza A.; Pusane, Ali E.; Ashrafi, Reza A.
    NAND flash memories have recently become the main component of large-scale non-volatile storage systems. Recent studies have shown that various error sources degrade the Multi-level cell (MLC) memory performance, including intercell interference, retention error, and random telegraph noise. Accurate integration of these error sources into the analytical model to optimally derive the governing probability distributions and consequently the detection thresholds to minimize error rates lie at the heart of MLC research. Utilizing static derivations will not address the detection problem, as aforementioned error sources exhibit a strong non-stationary behavior. In this paper, a novel low-complexity implementation of a non-parametric learning mechanism, kernel density estimation, shall be used to periodically estimate the underlying probability distributions and hence approximate the optimal detection performance for time-varying all-bit-line MLC flash channel.

    A Visualization Platfom for Disk Failure Analysis
    (IEEE, 2018-05-01) Arslan, Şuayb Şefik; Yiğit, İbrahim Onuralp; Zeydan, Engin
    It has become a norm rather than an exception to observe multiple disks malfunctioning or whole disk failures in places like big data centers where thousands of drives operate simultaneously. Data that resides on these devices is typically protected by replication or erasure coding for long-term durable storage. However, to be able to optimize data protection methods, real life disk failure trends need to be modeled. Modelling helps us build insights while in the design phase and properly optimize protection methods for a given application. In this study, we developed a visualization platform in light of disk failure data provided by BackBlaze, and extracted useful statistical information such as failure rate and model-based time to failure distributions. Finally, simple modeling is performed for disk failure predictions to alarm and take necessary system-wide precautions.
