    Author Recognition from Lyrics
    (2015) Kirmaci, Basar; Ogul, Hasan
    Music information retrieval has been an important task due to the wide use of internet and related technologies for entertainment. In previous studies, the problem has been considered using the meta-data or melodic content. The use of lyrics in this context is not that common. There is not study either for Turkish songs in this respect. In this study, we discuss the predictability of the author using the text data in a Turkish lyric. To this end, we propose a system that can predict the author using the features extracted from text content. The performance of the system is evaluated on a large data set collected from writers with different music styles.

    Texture of Activities: Exploiting Local Binary Patterns for Accelerometer Data Analysis
    (2016) Asuroglu, Tunc; Acici, Koray; Erdas, Cagatay Berke; Ogul, Hasan; 0000-0003-4153-0764; 0000-0002-3821-6419; 0000-0003-3467-9923; AAC-7834-2020; HDM-9910-2022
    Recognition of activities through wearable sensors such as accelerometers is a recent challenge in pervasive and ubiquitous computing. The problem is often considered as a classification task where a set of descriptive features are extracted from input signal to feed a machine learning classifier. A major issue ignored so far in these studies is the incorporation of locally embedded features that could indeed be informative in describing the main activity performed by the individual being experimented. To close this gap, we offer here adapting Local Binary Pattern (LBP) approach, which is frequently used in identifying textures in images, in one-dimensional space of accelerometer data. To this end, we exploit the histogram of LPB found in each axes of input accelerometer signal as a feature set to feed a k-Nearest Neighbor classifier. The experiments on a benchmark dataset have shown that the proposed method can outperform some previous methods.
