People use social media platforms to communicate with their friends or other users and to demonstrate what they are interested in by sharing different kinds of media such as photos, texts, and videos. A portion of the posted content also include location information. Such posts having location information are called geo-tagged posts in social networks. According to the analysis of geo-tagged posts, popular locations or activities can be identified. This study proposes a method to identify the most representative subset of the visual content shared in a region through social media. Our approach aims to detect the popular places and events and utilizes Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) features. Identified representative visuals are used to generate a web based tourist map. In this study, Flickr is used as the source of geotagged visual content.","PeriodicalId":312627,"journal":{"name":"2020 28th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125569265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Carriers placed as orthogonal to each other lose their orthogonality by being affected from frequency shifts due to differences in crystals at the receiver and the transmitter or due to channel effects. For this reason, estimators are used to determine carrier frequency differences. To this aim, CFO is estimated using pilot signals placed in an OFDM block. In this work, the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) is derived for CFO estimation based on the tracking reference signal (TRS) used in 5G standards. In addition, maximum likelihood and least squares based CFO estimators are investigated for the TRS proposed in the literature and 3GPP contribution reports. Finally, by using these estimators, a new estimator with enhanced performance is proposed.

In this study, we introduce a method that was created using genetic algorithms to generate such summaries. After the texts are preprocessed, vocabulary is created and given as input to the proposed method. The sentence selection based on Genetic Algorithm is used to summarize and after that the summary is created, it is evaluated using the fitness function. In our first model, the fitness function is based on the frequency of each word and the word pair frequencies.

The early detection of heart abnormalities plays an important role in reducing the mortality rate caused by heart diseases. Auscultation, the process of listening to heart sounds, is the first diagnostic method of heart diseases. This process is highly dependent on the physician expertise, making the diagnosis more of a subjective issue. There is ongoing research to automate heart sound diagnosis. Advances in machine learning have provided an easier, cheaper and objective diagnosis of diseases. Algorithms developed for heart sound classifications rely on several features and the accuracy of a model depends on the feature vector. The advent of deep learning (DL) provides a possible solution to overcome the overwhelming and time-consuming step of feature extraction. Convolutional neural networks (CNN), popular deep network architectures, offer high classification accuracies for 2D images and 1D time series. This study proposes an efficient and highly accurate method for heart sound signal classification. The continuous wavelet transform method is employed to obtain scalogram images. The 2D scalogram images are fed to a deep CNN classifier. Using the heart sound dataset consisting of 4 abnormal and 1 normal heart sound subsets, this study investigates both binary classification and multi-class classification. The proposed classification method outperformed the state-of-the-art methods in the literature.","PeriodicalId":312627,"journal":{"name":"2020 28th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122453433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system performance of the proposed diversity protocol in terms of the Symbol Error Rate (SER) is evaluated and compared to the performance of GSM and Distributed Spatial Modulation (DSM) schemes. Simulation results show that DGSM systems with activating more than one relay perform almost the same as DSM systems for the same spectral efficiency. It is also demonstrated that a performance enhancement of about 3 dB is achieved over GSM schemes for the same modulation order, which increases the energy efficiency and the reachability using the proposed model.

The comfort noise mechanism at the receiver generates voice frames to fill the gap resulting in dropped voice frames. The proposed comfort noise approach informs the receiver about the cross correlation between the frequency responses of dropped and neighboring frames for replacing the dropped frame with the most suitable one.
