Article Detection and Classification of Femoral Neck Fractures From Plain Pelvic X-Rays Using Deep Learning and Machine Learning Methods(Turkish Assoc Trauma Emergency Surgery, 2025) Sevinc, Huseyin Fatih; Ureten, Kemal; Karadeniz, Talha; Gultekin, Gokhan KorayBackground: Femoral neck fractures are a serious health concern, particularly among the elderly. The aim of this study is to diagnose and classify femoral neck fractures from plain pelvic X-rays using deep learning and machine learning algorithms, and to compare the performance of these methods. Methods: The study was conducted on a total of 598 plain pelvic X-ray images, including 296 patients with femoral neck fractures and 302 individuals without femoral neck fractures. Initially, transfer learning was applied using pre-trained deep learning models: VGG-16, ResNet-50, and MobileNetv2. Results: The pre-trained VGG-16 network demonstrated slightly better performance than ResNet-50 and MobileNetV2 for detecting and classifying femoral neck fractures. Using the VGG-16 model, the following results were obtained: 95.6% accuracy, 95.5% sensitivity, 93.3% specificity, 95.7% precision, 95.5% F1 Score, a Cohen's kappa of 0.91, and the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve of 0.99. Subsequently, features extracted from the convolution layers of VGG-16 were classified using common machine learning algorithms. Among these, the k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) algorithm outperformed the others and exceeded the accuracy of the VGG-16 model by 1%. Conclusion: Successful results were obtained using deep learning and machine learning methods for the detection and classification of femoral neck fractures. The model can be further improved through multi-center studies. The proposed model may be especially useful for physicians working in emergency departments and for those not having sufficient experience in evaluating plain pelvic radiographs.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 3A New Parallel Multi-Objective Harris Hawk Algorithm for Predicting the Mortality of Covid-19 Patients(Peerj inc, 2023) Dokeroglu, TanselHarris' Hawk Optimization (HHO) is a novel metaheuristic inspired by the collective hunting behaviors of hawks. This technique employs the flight patterns of hawks to produce (near)-optimal solutions, enhanced with feature selection, for challenging classification problems. In this study, we propose a new parallel multi-objective HHO algorithm for predicting the mortality risk of COVID-19 patients based on their symptoms. There are two objectives in this optimization problem: to reduce the number of features while increasing the accuracy of the predictions. We conduct comprehensive experiments on a recent real-world COVID-19 dataset from Kaggle. An augmented version of the COVID-19 dataset is also generated and experimentally shown to improve the quality of the solutions. Significant improvements are observed compared to existing state-of-the-art metaheuristic wrapper algorithms. We report better classification results with feature selection than when using the entire set of features. During experiments, a 98.15% prediction accuracy with a 45% reduction is achieved in the number of features. We successfully obtained new best solutions for this COVID-19 dataset.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6Distribution-Preserving Data Augmentation(Peerj inc, 2021) Nar, Fatih; Saran, Nurdan Ayse; Saran, MuratIn the last decade, deep learning has been applied in a wide range of problems with tremendous success. This success mainly comes from large data availability, increased computational power, and theoretical improvements in the training phase. As the dataset grows, the real world is better represented, making it possible to develop a model that can generalize. However, creating a labeled dataset is expensive, time-consuming, and sometimes not likely in some domains if not challenging. Therefore, researchers proposed data augmentation methods to increase dataset size and variety by creating variations of the existing data. For image data, variations can be obtained by applying color or spatial transformations, only one or a combination. Such color transformations perform some linear or nonlinear operations in the entire image or in the patches to create variations of the original image. The current color-based augmentation methods are usually based on image processing methods that apply color transformations such as equalizing, solarizing, and posterizing. Nevertheless, these color-based data augmentation methods do not guarantee to create plausible variations of the image. This paper proposes a novel distribution-preserving data augmentation method that creates plausible image variations by shifting pixel colors to another point in the image color distribution. We achieved this by defining a regularized density decreasing direction to create paths from the original pixels' color to the distribution tails. The proposed method provides superior performance compared to existing data augmentation methods which is shown using a transfer learning scenario on the UC Merced Land-use, Intel Image Classification, and Oxford-IIIT Pet datasets for classification and segmentation tasks.
