    (2016) Ergun, Hilal; Sert, Mustafa; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7056-4245; AAB-8673-2019
    Deep learning architectures have shown great success in various computer vision applications. In this study, we investigate some of the very popular convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures, namely GoogleNet, AlexNet, VGG19 and ResNet. Furthermore, we show possible early feature fusion strategies for visual object classification tasks. Concatanation of features, average pooling and maximum pooling are among the investigated fusion strategies. We obtain state-of-the-art results on well-known image classification datasets of Caltech-101, Caltech-256 and Pascal VOC 2007.

    Early and Late Level Fusion of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Concept Recognition
    (2016) Ergun, Hilal; Akyuz, Yusuf Caglar; Sert, Mustafa; Liu, Jianquan; 0000-0002-7056-4245; 0000-0002-7056-4245; B-1296-2011; D-3080-2015; AAB-8673-2019
    Visual concept recognition is an active research field in the last decade. Related to this attention, deep learning architectures are showing great promise in various computer vision domains including image classification, object detection, event detection and action recognition in videos. In this study, we investigate various aspects of convolutional neural networks for visual concept recognition. We analyze recent studies and different network architectures both in terms of running time and accuracy. In our proposed visual concept recognition system, we first discuss various important properties of popular convolutional network architecture under consideration. Then we describe our method for feature extraction at different levels of abstraction. We present extensive empirical information along with best practices for big data practitioners. Using these best practices we propose efficient fusion mechanisms both for single and multiple network models. We present state-of-the-art results on benchmark datasets while keeping computational costs at low level. Our results show that these state-of-the-art results can be reached without using extensive data augmentation techniques.

    Video Classification Based on ConvNet Collaboration and Feature Selection
    (2017) Boyaci, Emel; Sert, Mustafa; 0000-0002-7056-4245; AAB-8673-2019
    Today, video data, as a powerful multimedia component, is accompanied by some problems with increasing usage in communication, health, education, and social media in particular. Classification and detection of concepts in video data by automatic methods are some of these challenging problems. In this study, we propose a video classification system, which incorporates deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) by leveraging feature selection and data fusion techniques to improve the accuracy of the classification. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) as a feature selection method and Discriminant Correlation Analysis (DCA) technique, which incorporates class associations into the correlation analysis of feature sets for data fusion, are applied to the problem at the feature level. Support Vector Machines (SVMs) have been trained with new feature vectors obtained from different deep convolutional neural networks by feature selection and data fusion methods. The proposed method is tested for 38 concepts on TRECVID 2013 SIN video task dataset and the results are evaluated. Our results show that the classification accuracy is improved by 4% with an accuracy of 50.27% when the proposed data fusion and feature selection techniques are used.

    Classification of Canine Maturity and Bone Fracture Time Based on X-Ray Images of Long Bones
    (2021) Ergun, Gulnur Begum; Guney, Selda; 0000-0002-0573-1326; 0000-0001-8469-5484
    Veterinarians use X-rays for almost all examinations of clinical fractures to determine the appropriate treatment. Before treatment, vets need to know the date of the injury, type of the broken bone, and age of the dog. The maturity of the dog and the time of the fracture affects the approach to the fracture site, the surgical procedure and needed materials. This comprehensive study has three main goals: determining the maturity of the dogs (Task 1), dating fractures (Task 2), and finally, detecting fractures of the long bones in dogs (Task 3). The most popular deep neural networks are used: AlexNet, ResNet-50 and GoogLeNet. One of the most popular machine learning algorithms, support vector machines (SVM), is used for comparison. The performance of all sub-studies is evaluated using accuracy and F1 score. Each task has been successful with different network architecture. ResNet-50, AlexNet and GoogLeNet are the most successful algorithms for the three tasks, with F1 scores of 0.75, 0.80 and 0.88, respectively. Data augmentation is performed to make models more robust, and the F1 scores of the three tasks were 0.80, 0.81, and 0.89 using ResNet-50, which is the most successful model. This preliminary work can be developed into support tools for practicing veterinarians that will make a difference in the treatment of dogs with fractured bones. Considering the lack of work in this interdisciplinary field, this paper may lead to future studies.
