Conference Object Evaluating Electrophysiological Responses Due To Identity Judgments(Ieee, 2024) Çakar, Tuna; Çakar, Tuna; 02.02. Department of Computer Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF UniversityThis study was conducted to explore how the brain processes decisions about identity, employing event-related potentials (ERPs) as a measure. The aim was to ascertain if the EEG/ERP technique could be used to monitor the cognitive processing of identity judgments as they happen. The investigation focused on comparing two groups of statements: those that used the concept of 'same' and those that used 'different'. The researchers hypothesized that there would be notable differences in the ERPs, particularly around the 400-millisecond mark, correlating with the reaction time disparities observed behaviorally. The ERP data revealed that the 'different' statements generated a unique N400 response when contrasted with the 'same' statements, implying that the participants' cognitive responses to these two types of judgments were not the same.Conference Object Predicting Credit Repayment Capacity With Machine Learning Models(Ieee, 2024) Filiz, Gozde; Çakar, Tuna; Yaslidag, Nihal; Sayar, Alperen; Çakar, Tuna; 02.02. Department of Computer Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF UniversityThis study examines the transformation in the financial services sector, particularly in banking, driven by the rapid development of technology and the widespread use of big data, and its impact on credit prediction processes. The developed credit prediction model aims to more accurately predict customers' credit repayment capacities. In pursuit of this goal, demographic and financial data along with credit histories of customers have been utilized to employ data preprocessing techniques and test various classification algorithms. Findings indicate that models developed with XGBoost and CATBoost algorithms exhibit the highest performance, while the effective use of feature engineering techniques is revealed to enhance the model's accuracy and reliability. The research highlights the potential for financial institutions to gain a competitive advantage in risk management and customer relationship management by leveraging machine learning models.Conference Object Neural Decoding of Brand Perception and Preferences: Understanding Consumer Behavior Through Fnirs and Machine Learning(Ieee, 2024) Çakar, Tuna; Girisken, Yener; Drias, Yassine; Filiz, Gozde; Çakar, Tuna; 02.02. Department of Computer Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF UniversityThis research examines the link between consumer brand perceptions and neural activity by employing Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) and machine learning techniques. The study analyzes the neural projections of participants' reactions to brand-associated adjectives, processing data collected from 168 individuals through machine learning algorithms. The findings underscore the significance of the lateral regions of the prefrontal cortex in the decision- making process related to brand perceptions. The aim is to understand how brands are perceived when associated with various adjectives and to develop this understanding through neural patterns using machine learning models. This study demonstrates the potential of integrating neural data with machine learning methods in the field of applied neuroscience.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Physical Activity Monitoring With Smartwatch Technology in Adolescents and Obtaining Big Data: Preliminary Findings(Ieee, 2024) Filiz, Gozde; Çakar, Tuna; Ayaz, Nuray Aktay; Yekdaneh, Asena; Albayrak, Asya; Bozkan, Tunahan; Çakar, Tuna; 02.02. Department of Computer Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF UniversityThis study assesses the potential of smartwatch technology in monitoring adolescents' physical activity and health parameters. It focuses on the role of physical activity in preventing chronic diseases and improving quality of life. The primary aim of the project is to perform statistical analysis of the large data sets collected from both healthy adolescents and those with chronic rheumatic diseases, and to develop a machine learning-based classification model to distinguish between these two groups. This analysis highlights the issue of physical inactivity observed during the Covid-19 pandemic, while showcasing the capacity of technology to offer solutions. The study aims to evaluate the collected data in a way that forms the basis for personalized activity plans for adolescents, demonstrating how wearable technology and big data can be effectively used in health services and to promote physical activity.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1The Application of Two Bayesian Personalized Ranking Approaches Based on Item Recommendation From Implicit Feedback(Ieee, 2024) Tagtekin, Burak; Sahin, Zeynep; Çakar, Tuna; Drias, Yassine; 02.02. Department of Computer Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF UniversityThe present study has aimed to provide a different ranking approach that will be used actively in a sector-specific application regarding the optimization of item ranking presented to the users. The current online approach in several different applications still holds a manual ranking algorithm whose parameters are determined by the data specialists with adequate domain-knowledge. The obtained findings from the present study indicate that the optimized Bayesian Personalized Ranking models will be used for providing a suitable, data-driven input for the ranking system that would serve to be personalized. The outcomes of the present study also demonstrate that the model using LearnBPR optimized with a stochastic gradient descent algorithm outperform the other similar methods. The sample model outputs were also investigated by a user sample to ensure that the algorithm was working correctly. The next potential step is to provide a normalization process to include the extracted information to the current ranking system and observe the performance of this new algorithm with the A/B tests conducted.
