Department of Computer Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF UniversityPolitical 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 behaviorConference Object Spine Posture Detection for Office Workers With Hybrid Machine Learning(IEEE, 2023) Öke, Deniz; Çakar, Tuna; Yıldız, Ahmet; Mise, Pelin; Terzibaşıoğlu, Aynur Metin; 02.02.

Department of Computer Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF UniversityNowadays the fact that technology facilitates data collection is an important opportunity, as well as making the management of all this data difficult and makes no sense unless it is well processed. This stored data is extremely important, and companies use data provided by their customers. Catching the needs of the customer profiles of the changing world is now a necessity and takes the first place for companies. With the increase in the amount of stored data over time, it has become difficult to establish a relationship between the data and to separate them from each other. At this point, machine learning methods have become more involved in our lives. In this study, what segmentation is and its change over the years are mentioned. It has been mentioned which machine learning techniques will be useful in data selection. Then, possible machine learning methods are shown in real life segmentation problem by using the domestic factoring company’s customer check data. Since this study aims to group unlabeled data, unsupervised learning techniques are emphasized. Among these methods, Hierarchical Clustering, DBSCAN, Gaussian Mixture Modeling methods, Fuzzy c- Means were used as well as the most popular K-Means algorithm. When the clustering results were examined, the optimal number of clusters was calculated very high with GMM, DBSCAN could not assign clusters, and Hierarchical clustering could not produce expected results. It was observed that the best results were obtained with the K-Means and Fuzzy c - Means algorithms.Conference Object Model for Estimating the Probability of a Customer To Have a Transaction(IEEE, 2022) Sayar Alperen; Çakar, Tuna; Ertugrul Seyit; Bozkan Tunahan; Sayar, Alperen; Cakar, Tuna; Ertugrul, Seyit; Bozkan, Tunaban; 02.02.

Department of Computer Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF UniversityIn this study, the main scope was to develop a brain-computer interface (BCI) with the use of PiCar and EEG/ERP devices. Thus, it is aimed to facilitate the lives of people with certain diseases and disabilities. The ultimate goal of this project has been to direct and control a BCI-based PiCar concerning the signals captured via the EEG/ERP device. With the EEG headset, the EMG signals of the gestures (facial expressions) of the participant were captured. With the collected data, filtering and other preprocessing methods were applied to have noise-free signals. In the preprocessing, the detrending method was used to clean the data set which showed a constantly increasing trend, to a certain range, and zero trends. The denoising (Wavelet Denoising) and outlier detection/elimination methods (OneClassSVM) were used for noise elimination. The SMOTE oversampling method was used for data augmentation. Welch's method was used to get band powers from the signals. With the use of augmented data, several machine learning algorithms were applied such as Support Vector Machine, Logistic Regression, Linear Discriminant Analysis, Random forest Classifier, Gradient Boosting Classifier, Multinomial Naive Bayes, Decision tree, K-Nearest Neighbor, and voting classifier. The developed models were used to predict the direction that is passed as an input to PiCar's API. After that, PiCar was controlled concerning the predicted direction with HTTP GET requests. In this project, the OpenBCI headset and the Brainflow library for EEG/EMG signal obtaining and processing were used. Also, the Tkinter library was used for the Graphical user interface and Django for establishing a server on PiCar's brain which is RaspberryPi. © 2022 IEEE.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 7Cloud2hdd: Large-Scale Hdd Data Analysis on Cloud for Cloud Datacenters(IEEE, 2020) Zeydan, Engin; Arslan, Şefik Şuayb; Arslan, Şefik Şuayb; 02.02. Department of Computer Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF UniversityThe main focus of this paper is to develop a distributed large scale data analysis platform for the opensource data of Backblaze cloud datacenter which consists of operational hard disk drive (HDD) information collected over an observable period of 2272 days (over 74 months). To carefully analyze the intrinsic characteristics of the hard disk behavior, we have exploited a large bolume of data and the benefits of Hadoop ecosystem as our big data processing engine. In other words, we have utilized a special distributed scheme on cloud for cloud HDD data, which is termed as Cloud2HDD. To classify the remaining lifetime of hard disk drives based on health indicators such as in-built S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) features, we used some of the state-of-the-art classification algorithms and compared their accuracy, precision, and recall rates simultaneously. In addition, importance of various S.M.A.R.T. features in predicting the true remaining lifetime of HDDs are identified. For instance, our analysis results indicate that Random Forest Classifier (RFC) can yield up to 94% accuracy with the highest precision and recall at a reasonable time by classifying the remaining lifetime of drives into one of three different classes, namely critical, high and low ideal states in comparison to other classification approaches based on a specific subset of S.M.A.R.T. features.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Hata Düzeltme Çıktı Kodları: Genel Bakış, Zorluklar ve Gelecek Yönelimler(IEEE, 2019) Arslan, Şuayb Şefik; Arslan, Şefik Şuayb; Güney, Osman B.; 02.02.
