    Graph Theory-Based Fraud Detection in Banking Check Transactions
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025-09-17) Behsi Z.; Memis E.C.; Ertugrul S.; Sayar A.; Gunes P.; Seydioglu S.; Cakar T.; Gunes, Peri; Memis, Emir Cetin; Sayar, Alperen; Cakar, Tuna; Ertugrul, Seyit; Seydioglu, Sarper; Behsi, Zeynep
    Traditional banking fraud detection systems rely on rule-based approaches that analyze individual transactions in isolation, failing to capture complex relationship patterns indicative of coordinated fraud schemes such as check-kiting and artificial credit score manipulation. We p resent our study, a novel similarity-based graph theory approach that constructs weighted networks between check issuers using Jaccard Similarity Index and employs advanced graph analysis to identify suspicious entity clusters without requiring complete transaction relationship data. Our approach combines Jaccard Similarity Index for behavioral pattern analysis (addressing payee information unavailability) with comprehensive graph analysis including centrality measures, community detection, and anomaly identification. Through comprehensive evaluation on real banking data containing 458,399 transactions from 121,647 unique issuers - the largest confirmed dataset in fraud detection literature - we demonstrate the effectiveness of our methodology. Following parameter optimization using grid search methodology (similarity threshold: 0.55, risk percentile: 0.75), our study achieves competitive detection rates in optimal configurations with an average F1-score of 0.447 (±0.164) and peak performance reaching an F1-score of 0.557, while providing superior network topology analysis with 0.923 clustering coefficient. The system operates under significant data privacy constraints, lacking personal identification information (names, account numbers, IDs) and complete payee data. Despite these limitations, our study outperforms traditional approaches by leveraging similarity-based indirect relationships, and we project that performance could reach 85-95% levels with complete data access. © 2025 IEEE.

    Fuzzy Elephant Herding Optimization and DBSCAN for Emergency Transportation: A Case Study for the 2023Turkiye Earthquake
    (Springer international Publishing Ag, 2024) Drias, Yassine; Drias, Habiba
    In recent times, our planet has experienced numerous natural disasters across all continents. The damage caused by these disasters has been so extensive that Emergency Medical Services (EMS) proved incapable of handling the situation. In this article, we present a novel approach for urgent disaster transport with the aim of minimizing loss of life. In this context, we are investigating the Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise algorithm (DBSCAN) to cluster the large geographic zone affected by the 2023 earthquake in Turkiye. The clustering is done based on hospitals' capacity on one hand and damages on the other hand. The ambulance dispatching task is then tackled using a new fuzzy version of Elephant Herding Optimization called FEHO. This approach addresses the challenge of dispatching ambulances to cover emergency locations effectively and optimally in the clustered regions. Experiments conducted on real data demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in managing emergency transportation and highlight its potential to minimize the number of casualties.

    (Ieee, 2024-05-15) Çakar, Tuna; Girisken, Yener; Tuna, Esin; Filiz, Gozde; Drias, Yassine
    This 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.

    Exploring Generative AI and Unsupervised Learning for Digital Soil Classification: A Case Study of Algeria
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025-08-07) Belkadi, W.H.; Drias, Y.; Drias, H.; Bouchelkia, H.; Hamdous, S.
    Accurate soil type mapping is vital for sustainable agriculture and land management. Yet, Algeria remains under-represented in global soil databases. To address this, we propose a pipeline combining Generative AI for data extraction with unsupervised learning for soil classification. After harmonizing Algerian soil data, we evaluate four clustering algorithms - K-means, DBSCAN, HDBSCAN, and Self-Organizing Maps - under various preprocessing settings. Internal and external metrics guide model selection. K-means and DBSCAN produced the most coherent clusters, while SOM best aligned with FAO soil types. RuleFit was then used to extract interpretable rules defining each cluster. This work highlights the potential of AI-based, interpretable clustering for digital soil mapping in data-scarce regions like Algeria. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Methane Emissions Forecasting Using Hybrid Quantum-Classical Deep Learning Models: Case Study of North Africa
    (Springer, 2025-10-30) Belkadi, Widad Hassina; Drias, Yassine; Drias, Habiba; Ferkous, Sarah; Khemissi, Maroua
    This study explores climate change by predicting methane emissions in North Africa using classical and quantum deep learning methods. Using data from Sentinel-5P, we developed hybrid quantum-classical models, such as quantum long short-term memory (QLSTM) and quantum-gated recurrent unit networks (QGRUs), along with a novel hybrid architecture combining quantum convolutional neural networks (QCNNs) with LSTM and GRU, namely QCNN-LSTM and QCNN-GRU. The results show that these quantum models, especially the proposed hybrid architectures, outperform classical models by approximately seven percent in root-mean-squared error with fewer training epochs. These findings highlight the potential of quantum methodologies for enhancing environmental monitoring accuracy. Future research will aim to refine model performance, incorporate explainable AI techniques, and expand to forecasting other greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change mitigation efforts.

    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2025) Drias, Yassine; Drias, Habiba; Belkadi, Widad Hassina; Cakar, Tuna; Abdelhamid, Zakaria; Bensemmane, Riad Yacine
    This study presents a methodology for generating highresolution digital soil maps by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with geospatial technologies. The research begins with comprehensive data collection and the extraction of relevant soil properties with the help of generative AI. To improve predictive accuracy, ensemble learning algorithms were employed due to their ability to capture complex relationships within soil characteristics. Additionally, a structured preprocessing pipeline was developed to refine and standardize the collected soil data, ensuring its suitability for modeling. The model's performance was evaluated using spatial cross-validation techniques to identify the most effective predictive approach. To validate the proposed methodology, experiments were conducted in northern Algeria, a region characterized by diverse landscapes ranging from arid zones to fertile plains. The results demonstrate the potential of AI-driven approaches to enhance soil mapping, particularly in regions where high-quality and up-to-date soil data are limited. This study underscores the efficacy of AI and geospatial technologies in advancing precision agriculture and land management.

    Quantum Recurrent Neural Networks for Soil Profiles Prediction in Turkiye
    (Springer international Publishing Ag, 2024) Drias, Yassine; Siouane, Alaa Eddine; Çakar, Tuna
    In this article, we introduce a new approach for soil profile prediction using Quantum Recurrent Neural Networks (QRNNs). By harnessing the power of quantum computing, QRNNs present a promising solution to overcome the limitations of conventional soil mapping techniques. We begin by proposing a classical Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) architecture for soil profiles prediction, followed by the design of its quantum counterpart with QRNNs. Focusing on the application of our model in Turkiye, we leverage geospatial data from diverse sources, including climate, vegetation, and land relief data, to showcase the efficacy of QRNNs in soil classification and resource monitoring. Our results reveal a remarkable accuracy score and computational efficiency. Moreover, we delve into the broader implications of quantum computing for digital mapping and explore potential avenues for future research. Emphasizing the integration of quantum computing techniques with digital soil mapping, we foresee a promising advancement in sustainable soil management practices, aiding decision-making processes in agriculture, environmental planning, and natural resource management.
