    (2022) Aytekin, Idil; Dalmaz, Onat; Ankishan, Haydar; Saritas, Emine U.; Bagci, Ulas; Cukur, Tolga; Celik, Haydar; Drukker, K; Iftekharuddin, KM
    Auscultation is an established technique in clinical assessment of symptoms for respiratory disorders. Auscultation is safe and inexpensive, but requires expertise to diagnose a disease using a stethoscope during hospital or office visits. However, some clinical scenarios require continuous monitoring and automated analysis of respiratory sounds to pre-screen and monitor diseases, such as the rapidly spreading COVID-19. Recent studies suggest that audio recordings of bodily sounds captured by mobile devices might carry features helpful to distinguish patients with COVID-19 from healthy controls. Here, we propose a novel deep learning technique to automatically detect COVID-19 patients based on brief audio recordings of their cough and breathing sounds. The proposed technique first extracts spectrogram features of respiratory recordings, and then classifies disease state via a hierarchical vision transformer architecture. Demonstrations are provided on a crowdsourced database of respiratory sounds from COVID-19 patients and healthy controls. The proposed transformer model is compared against alternative methods based on state-of-the-art convolutional and transformer architectures, as well as traditional machine-learning classifiers. Our results indicate that the proposed model achieves on par or superior performance to competing methods. In particular, the proposed technique can distinguish COVID-19 patients from healthy subjects with over 94% AUC.

    Voice pathology detection by using the deep network architecture
    (2021) Ankishan, Haydar; Inam, Sitki Cagdas; 0000-0002-6240-2545
    Pathological voice disorders are among the conditions affecting negatively our daily life. The aim of this study is to introduce the new feature vector in the hybrid axis and multi-model in order to diagnose these disorders with more conventional methods. Two different databases are used, and the results are compared with the previous studies. Here, two types of fusion models (feature and decision level fusion) are used to increase the classification accuracy of the multi-model. The experimental results show that the proposed multi-model gives the highest classification accuracies with decision level fusion (DLF). Inspecting the results obtained from two databases, the highest accuracy rate (99.58%) is obtained with DLF. It is also seen from the experiments that the proposed feature vector helps to classify pathological data successfully, depending on their pathological conditions. Together with the proposed multi-model, both LSTM and CNN are found to be similarly successful in the classification of data in multi-model architecture. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Blood pressure prediction from speech recordings
    (2020) Ankishan, Haydar
    The aim of this study is to extract new features to show the relationship between speech recordings and blood pressure (BP). For this purpose, a database consisting of / a / vowels with different BP values under the same room and environment conditions is presented to the literature. Convolutional Neural Networks- Regression (CNN-R), Support Vector Machines- Regression (SVMs-R) and Multi Linear Regression (MLR) are used in this study to predict BP with extracted features. From the experiments, the highest accuracy rates of BP prediction from / a / vowel have been obtained based on Systolic BP values with CNNR. In the study, 89.43 % for MLR, 92.15 % for SVM-R and 93.65 % for CNN-R are obtained when ReliefF has been used. When the root mean square errors (RMSE) are considered, the lowest error value is obtained with CNN-R as RMSE = 0.2355. In conclusion, it can be observed that the proposed feature vector (FVx) shows a relationship between BP and the human voices, and in this direction, it can be used as an FVx in a system that will be developed in order to follow the tension of individuals.

    Classification of acoustic signals with new feature: Fibonacci space (FSp)
    (2019) Ankishan, Haydar; 0000-0002-6240-2545; AAH-4421-2019
    In this study, a new feature and feature space (FSp) are introduced by using the approach of Fibonacci series formation. The results are presented as two experimental studies. The nine groups of acoustic signals and pathological human voices are investigated in the first and second experiments, respectively. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Multi-Class Support Vector Machines (M-SVMs) are used to figure out the effect of the proposed feature and its FSp on the classification accuracy. It is observed that the proposed feature and its formed space yield significant results for the discrimination of those signals. Experimental studies show that the classification accuracy of test data is increased by 5.3% when the proposed feature is used with CNN and M-SVMs. In addition, each acoustic group is significantly discriminated in both experimental studies. It is concluded that the proposed feature and its space can be used as a temporal feature for different purposes such as automatic speech recognition, pattern recognition, and emotional voice discrimination etc. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd.

    Estimation of heartbeat rate from speech recording with hybrid feature vector (HFV)
    (2019) Ankishan, Haydar; 0000-0002-6240-2545; AAH-4421-2019
    This paper introduces a new hybrid feature vector for revealing the relationship between human voice and heartbeat rate (HBR). Various samples of the sustained vowel /a/ for different HBR have been extracted from a database which is created for this study. A convolutional neural network (CNN)-Regression (R), support vector machines (SVMs)-Regression (R), and multiple linear regression (MLR) are used as regression models. The experimental results show that the percentage of predictions within an acceptable error margin has been obtained as 98.92% for CNN-R, 98.70% for SVMs-R and 96.88% for MLR when Forward Sequential is used as a feature selection algorithm. The results also reveal that the CNN-R (root mean square error (RMSE) =0.3909) has produced better prediction values in estimating HBR than those produced by SVMs-R (RMSE=0.4277) and MLR (RMSE =0.4449). As a result, it is seen that the extracted hybrid feature vector provides a novel relationship between human voice and HBR. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Slot Parameter Optimization for Multiband Antenna Performance Improvement Using Intelligent Systems
    (2015) Demircioglu, Erdem; Yagli, Ahmet Fazil; Gulgonul, Senol; Ankishan, Haydar; Tartan, Emre Oner; Sazli, Murat H.; Imeci, Taha
    This paper discusses bandwidth enhancement for multiband microstrip patch antennas (MMPAs) using symmetrical rectangular/square slots etched on the patch and the substrate properties. The slot parameters on MMPA are modeled using soft computing technique of artificial neural networks (ANN). To achieve the best ANN performance, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential Evolution (DE) are applied with ANN's conventional training algorithm in optimization of the modeling performance. In this study, the slot parameters are assumed as slot distance to the radiating patch edge, slot width, and length. Bandwidth enhancement is applied to a formerly designed MMPA fed by a microstrip transmission line attached to the center pin of 50 ohm SMA connecter. The simulated antennas are fabricated and measured. Measurement results are utilized for training the artificial intelligence models. The ANN provides 98% model accuracy for rectangular slots and 97% for square slots; however, ANFIS offer 90% accuracy with lack of resonance frequency tracking.

    Square root central difference-based FastSLAM approach improved by differential evolution
    (2016) Ankishan, Haydar; Ari, Fikret; Tartan, Emre Oner; Pakfiliz, Ahmet Gungor
    This study presents a new approach to improve the performance of FastSLAM. The aim of the study is to obtain a more robust algorithm for FastSLAM applications by using a Kalman filter that uses Stirling's polynomial interpolation formula. In this paper, some new improvements have been proposed; the first approach is the square root central difference Kalman filter-based FastSLAM, called SRCD-FastSLAM. In this method, autonomous vehicle (or robot) position, landmarks' position estimations, and importance weight calculations of the particle filter are provided by the SRCD-Kalman filter. The second approach is an improved version of the SRCD-FastSLAM in which particles are improved by a differential evolution (DE) algorithm for reducing the risk of the particle depletion problem. Simulation results are given as a comparison of FastSLAM II, unscented (U)-FastSLAM, SRCD-Kalman filter-aided FastSLAM, SRCD particle filter-based FastSLAM, SRCD-FastSLAM, and DE-SRCD-FastSLAM. The results show that SRCD-based FastSLAM approaches accurately compute mean and precise uncertainty of the robot position in comparison with FastSLAM II and U-FastSLAM methods. However, the best results are obtained by DE-SRCD-FastSLAM, which provides significantly more accurate and robust estimation with the help of DE with fewer particles. Moreover, consistency of the DE-SRCD-FastSLAM is more prolonged than that of FastSLAM II, U-FastSLAM, and SRCD-FastSLAM.
