Utku, Anil
AI ethical principles are essential in balancing the social impacts of rapidly developing technology today. The widespread use of AI technologies has heightened the need for ethical and legal regulations in this area. In this process, fundamental principles such as data privacy, accountability, transparency, and human oversight take center stage to enhance the reliability of artificial intelligence and foster social trust. Generative AI refers to machines producing text, images, audio, and video content. However, generative AI brings ethical discussions since it can produce original content. Detecting AI-generated content is becoming increasingly complex due to the ability of AI models to produce increasingly more fluent and meaningful texts. This study created a hybrid MILA model using BERT, CNN, and BiLSTM models to detect AI-generated content. MILA was compared in detail with SVM, XGBoost, CNN, LSTM, and BiLSTM using sentence-level and article-level datasets. Experiments demonstrated that MILA outperformed the compared models, achieving 94.34% accuracy at the sentence-level and 93.62% accuracy at the article-level.

Utku, Anıl; Akyol, Sinem
Climate variables affect ecosystems’ structure, sustainability, and biodiversity. Monitoring and analysis of climate variables are essential for the management of ecosystems and the conservation of biodiversity. Temperature affects the distributions, habitats, and phonological events of living things in ecosystems. Humidity is essential for meeting plants’ water needs and the habitat’s quality and health. Dew point is essential for water quality, balance, plant health, and microclimate. Wind speed is essential for pollinating plants, microhabitats, and the health of living things. For such reasons, accurate prediction of climate variables using artificial intelligence methods can effectively predict the future of ecosystems and biodiversity and develop future strategic plans. This study aimed to predict the climate variables of temperature, humidity, dew point, and wind speed of Bhubaneshwar, Dehradun, Guwahati, Mysore, and Nagpur, among the cities with the highest biodiversity in India. It aimed to determine the long-term impacts of climate change on managing ecosystems and biodiversity protection. The hyperparameters of the ConvLSTM model, developed using CNN and LSTM, were optimized with a genetic algorithm, and the GA-ConvLSTM hybrid model was created. GA-ConvLSTM was tested with XGBoost, SVM, ANFIS, CNN, LSTM, and base ConvLSTM using approximately 15 years of hourly, up-to-date, and real-time climate variable data of cities. This work is one of the pioneering studies using GA to optimize deep learning hybrid models for multi-city climate prediction through extensive long-term high-resolution datasets. The experimental results reveal that GA-ConvLSTM outperforms conventional models, producing an R2 score exceeding 0.9 for each city across all climate variables. GA-ConvLSTM produced temperature predictions with 0.833 RMSE and 0.995 R2 for Bhubaneswar, humidity predictions with 3.461 RMSE and 0.990 R2, dew point predictions with 0.632 RMSE and 0.995 R2, and wind speed predictions with 2.278 RMSE and 0.993 R2. The experimental findings confirm the improved performance over conventional models due to SVM and XGBoost failing to achieve these R2 values and high RMSE scores. The research meets three principal obstacles because of the combination of stochastic climate datasets and complex nonlinear patterns, which also encounter limitations in conventional methods for managing scale-dependency relationships and manual parameter adjustments. This approach delivers three main strengths because it combines CNN and LSTM networks through genetic programming while tracking temporal and spatial relationships and processing noisy data automatically, leading to improved results compared to other methods. Unlike other published models in the field, the hybrid model GA-ConvLSTM combines optimized CNN and LSTM elements with genetic algorithm elements. The proposed model received its first application in this research for multi-city climate prediction through training with 15 years of hourly data. Standard methods encounter challenges when detecting long-term dependencies, but GA-ConvLSTM successfully addresses this issue.

Simsek, Gokce Kendirlioglu; Ertargin, Merve; Pezzolesi, Laura; Pistocchi, Rossella; Yildirim, Ozal; Cetin, A. Kadri
Microalgae possess significant potential in a wide range of applications due to their valuable bioactive compounds. They are utilized in biofuel production to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, in wastewater treatment for the biological removal of heavy metals and pollutants, in carbon capture for mitigating climate change, and in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries as supplements. As their applications expand, the accurate and efficient identification of microalgal species becomes increasingly important. Traditional classification methods are time-consuming and rely heavily on expert knowledge. The main aim of this study is to develop a reliable, fast, and expert-independent deep learning-based approach for the classification of microalgae species using microscopic images. In this context, deep learning techniques, specifically convolutional neural network (CNN)-based models were employed to classify microalgal species. Four widely used pre-trained CNN architectures (ResNet152, DenseNet201, MobileNetV2, and EfficientNetB0), along with a custom-designed CNN, were implemented. The models were trained and tested on a labeled dataset consisting of microscopic images of Chlorella vulgaris, Scenedesmus acutus, and Haematococcus pluvialis. The classification models achieved accuracy rates ranging from 96.87 % (Custom CNN) to 100 % (DenseNet201), demonstrating the potential of CNN-based approaches in automating and improving microalgae species identification.

Utku, Anil; Kaya, Mahmut; Canbay, Yavuz
This study proposes a novel hybrid convolution and vision transformer model (ConvViT) designed to detect harmful insect species that adversely affect agricultural production and play a critical role in global food security. By utilizing a dataset comprising images of 15 distinct insect species, the suggested approach combines the strengths of traditional convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with vision transformer (ViT) architectures. This integration aims to capture local-level morphological features effectively while analyzing global spatial relationships more comprehensively. While the CNN structure excels at discerning fine morphological details of insects, the ViT’s self-attention mechanism enables a holistic evaluation of their overall configurations. Several data preprocessing steps were implemented to enhance the model’s performance, including data augmentation techniques and strategies to ensure class balance. In addition, hyperparameter optimization contributed to more stable and robust model training. Experimental results indicate that the ConvViT model outperforms commonly used benchmark architectures such as EfficientNetB0, DenseNet201, ResNet-50, VGG-16, and standalone ViT, achieving a classification accuracy of 93.61%. This hybrid approach improves accuracy and strengthens generalization capabilities, delivering steady performance during training and testing phases, thereby increasing its reliability for field applications. The findings highlight that the ConvViT model achieves high efficiency in pest detection by integrating local and global feature learning. Consequently, this scalable artificial intelligence solution can support sustainable agricultural practices by enabling the early and accurate identification of pests and reducing the need for intensive pesticide use.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most common imaging technique used to detect abnormal brain tumors. Traditionally, MRI images are analyzed manually by radiologists to detect the abnormal conditions in the brain. Manual interpretation of huge volume of images is time consuming and difficult. Hence, computer-based detection helps in accurate and fast diagnosis. In this study, we proposed an approach that uses deep transfer learning to automatically classify normal and abnormal brain MR images. Convolutional neural network (CNN) based ResNet34 model is used as a deep learning model. We have used current deep learning techniques such as data augmentation, optimal learning rate finder and fine-tuning to train the model. The proposed model achieved 5-fold classification accuracy of 100% on 613 MR images.

The brain disorders may cause loss of some critical functions such as thinking, speech, and movement. So, the early detection of brain diseases may help to get the timely best treatment. One of the conventional methods used to diagnose these disorders is the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique. Manual diagnosis of brain abnormalities is time-consuming and difficult to perceive the minute changes in the MRI images, especially in the early stages of abnormalities. Proper selection of the features and classifiers to obtain the highest performance is a challenging task. Hence, deep learning models have been widely used for medical image analysis over the past few years. In this study, we have employed the AlexNet, Vgg-16, ResNet-18, ResNet-34, and ResNet-50 pre-trained models to automatically classify MR images in to normal, cerebrovascular, neoplastic, degenerative, and inflammatory diseases classes. We have also compared their classification performance with pre-trained models, which are the state-of-art architectures. We have obtained the best classification accuracy of 95.23% ± 0.6 with the ResNet-50 model among the five pre-trained models. Our model is ready to be tested with huge MRI images of brain abnormalities. The outcome of the model will also help the clinicians to validate their findings after manual reading of the MRI images.

Deep learning has emerged as an effective solution to various text mining problems such as document classification and clustering, document summarization, web mining, and sentiment analysis. In this paper, we describe our work on investigating several deep learning models for a binary sentiment classification problem. We used movie reviews in Turkish from the website www.beyazperde.com to train and test the deep learning models. We also report a detailed comparison of the models in terms of accuracy and time performances. Two major deep learning architectures used in this study are Convolutional Neural Networks and Long Short-Term Memory. We built several variants of these models by changing the number of layers, tuning the hyper-parameters, and combining models. Additionally, word embeddings were created by applying the word2vec algorithm with a skip-gram model on a large dataset (∼ 13 M words) composed of movie reviews. We investigate the effect of using the pre-word embeddings with these models. Experimental results have shown that the use of word embeddings with deep neural networks effectively yields performance improvements in terms of run time and accuracy.
