Though paraphrase identification in Turkish is well-studied by traditional statistical NLP methods, to the best of our knowledge there exists no study where word and/or sentence embeddings are employed. In this paper, three methods, which are well-known as “using average vector for word embeddings” (AWE), “concatenated vectors for word embeddings” (CWE) and “word mover's distance word embeddings” (WMDWE) to build sentence embeddings from word embeddings are examined and their effect in performance of paraphrase identification is measured. The results are presented comparatively for English (MSRP) and Turkish (PARDER and TuPC) paraphrase corpora. The study doesn't cover the optimization of parameters used in training of word embeddings and also the features specific to Turkish langauge are not considered. Despite this naive approach, the test results obtained from PARDER corpus are inspiring that a more detailed study that involves such improvements may result with more convincing performance values.","PeriodicalId":326275,"journal":{"name":"2019 27th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127392046","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 emerging concepts of Internet of Things and the Industry 4.0 boost their popularity, too. But there are still dominant bottlenecks including battery lifetime, transmission range, routing issues and others. These limitations may cause permanent faults on nodes, and thus, cause exclusion of the nodes from the network, which eventually may disconnect the network. Minimum cut size, a metric regarding the edge-connectivity of a graph, can be used to measure the reliability of a WSN. This work discusses that role of the minimum cut size; and more importantly, presents the results of a fundamental simulation showing the correlations between the total node count, the transmission range, and the achieved minimum cut size as an indicator of the maximum flow, in a randomly generated WSN topology. Our simulation results showed that at least 100 nodes with a transmission range of 140 m are required to create a random connected network on a field of $1000times 1000 mathbf{m}$ area. If the ranges of the nodes be 80 m, then at least 200 nodes should be distributed on the field to expect a reliable connected network.","PeriodicalId":326275,"journal":{"name":"2019 27th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"103 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116272837","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}

One of these tools, the independent Poisson point process (PPP), is favored due to its tractability, but in reality, the BSs are not completely independent of each other within tier and across tiers. In this study, a two-tier cellular network model including macro and pico base stations (MBSs and PBSs), is proposed. In this model, MBSs are distributed based on the PPP, while the PBSs are deployed according to the Poisson hole process. Then, the effect of the deployment and the density of BSs on energy efficiency are investigated. The minimum achievable data rate for each layer is formulated and the minimum achievable throughput for the entire cellular network is obtained. Through the optimized BS distribution, it is shown with simulations that energy efficiency can be maximized.","PeriodicalId":326275,"journal":{"name":"2019 27th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128287300","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}

Although the nervous and sensory systems in humans easily perform the processes such as understanding and recognizing activities that take place on a stage, these processes are among the most challenging research topics of computer vision. The activities vary according to the number of participants. For instance, a single person can perform activities consisting of various atomic actions. In the scenes with more than one person, interactions occur between people. Since interactions are mutual movements between multiple people, both temporal changes in the scene and the spatial structures need to be modeled for analysis. In this study, long short term memory networks and support vector machines, based on the positions and distances of human body joints, are trained for the automated classification of actions and interactions.","PeriodicalId":326275,"journal":{"name":"2019 27th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU)","volume":"262 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123900659","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}

Error performance of massive MIMOSM systems can be improved with Euclidean distance based antenna selection (EDAS), which strengthens this idea.

The most important features in the EEG signals have been selected by the Principle Component Analysis (PCA) method. The selected features have been classified by applying ensemble learning methods that are Boosting, Bagging and Random Subspace. The aim of this study is to increase the extrac- and intracranial EEG signal classification by calculating window spectral parameters.
