Severe cases of pneumonia can be fatal. A doctor would usually examine chest x-rays to diagnose pneumonia. In this work, a pneumonia diagnosis system was developed using publicly available chest x-ray images. Vision Transformer (ViT) and other deep learning models were used to extract features from these images. Vision Transformer (ViT) is an attention-based model used for image processing and understanding as an alternative to the convolutional neural networks traditionally used for this purpose. ViT consists of a series of attention layers, where each attention layer models the relationships between input pixels to represent an image. These relationships are determined by a set of attention heads and then fed into a classifier. ViT performs effectively in a variety of visual tasks, especially when trained on large datasets. The study shows that the ViT model's classification procedure has a high success rate of 95.67%. These results highlight how deep learning models can be used to quickly and accurately diagnose dangerous diseases such as pneumonia in its early stages. The study also shows that the ViT model outperforms current approaches in the biomedical field.","PeriodicalId":510341,"journal":{"name":"Gazi University Journal of Science Part A: Engineering and Innovation","volume":"11 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141339053","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 increase of data on a daily basis is essential for decision-makers to assess current situations and formulate future policies. Among the various types of data, time-series data presents a challenging relationship between current and future dependencies. Time-series prediction aims to forecast future values of target variables by leveraging insights gained from past data points. Recent advancements in deep learning-based algorithms have surpassed traditional machine learning-based algorithms for time-series in IoT systems. In this study, we employ Enc&Dec Transformer, the latest advancements in neural networks for time-series prediction problems. The obtained results were compared with Encoder-only and Decoder-only Transformer blocks as well as well-known recurrent based algorithms, including 1D-CNN, RNN, LSTM, and GRU. To validate our approach, we utilize three different univariate time-series datasets collected on an hourly basis, focusing on energy consumption within IoT systems. Our results demonstrate that our proposed Transformer model outperforms its counterparts, achieving a minimum Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 0.020 on small, 0.008 on medium, and 0.006 on large-sized datasets.","PeriodicalId":510341,"journal":{"name":"Gazi University Journal of Science Part A: Engineering and Innovation","volume":"50 25","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141384000","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}

However, the AT techniques struggle to maintain the performance on natural samples while improving the deep model’s robustness. The absence of perturbation diversity in generated during the adversarial training degrades the generalizability of the robust models, causing overfitting to particular perturbations and a decrease in natural performance. This study proposes an adversarial training framework that augments adversarial directions from a single-step attack to address the trade-off between robustness and generalization. Inspired by feature scattering adversarial training, the proposed framework computes a principal adversarial direction with a single-step attack that finds a perturbation disrupting the inter-sample relationships in the mini-batch during adversarial training. The principal direction obtained at each iteration is augmented by sampling new adversarial directions within a region spanning 45 degrees from the principal adversarial direction. The proposed adversarial training approach does not require extra backpropagation steps in adversarial direction augmentation. Therefore, generalization of the robust model is improved without posing an additional burden on the feature scattering adversarial training. Experiments on CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, SVHN, Tiny-ImageNet, and The German Traffic Sign Recognition Benchmark consistently improve the accuracy on adversarial with an almost pristine natural performance.","PeriodicalId":510341,"journal":{"name":"Gazi University Journal of Science Part A: Engineering and Innovation","volume":"8 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141267381","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}

I construct stocks of patents that lie at the two relevant tails of the distribution of the generality index (Trajtenberg et al., 1997; Henderson et al, 1998) to measure general purpose and focused invention at the firm level. In line with expectations, there is a market value premium to focused invention, and a productivity premium to general purpose invention. Estimates for the value of focus indicate that moving a single patent from the upper tail of the generality distribution to the lower tail would increase market value by .24×q million 1992 dollars on average, where q is Tobin’s q. The firm with the average general patent stock would gain 6.7×q million in market value if all its patents at the highest quartile of the generality distribution were moved to the lowest. In terms of the value of general purposeness, moving all its focused patents to the general category increases Total Factor Productivity by 2.3% to 2.8%, and five-year productivity growth by 3.9% to 5.2%, for the average firm.
