Title: "USER MOBILITY BASED AUTHENTICATION AND CLOUD MOCKING" 

Date: 25th January 2018

Time: 10:30 AM

Place: A-108

Thesis Abstract :

Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) from different business sectors, that are certified by some standardization organizations, are increasingly prioritizing the process improvement to raise their product’s quality. The process improvement in SMEs has focused principally on the refinement of existing processes to improve what is currently done through the application of previously developed tools and techniques. This thesis study describes the application of Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) for engineering design process improvement in a SME that has the certification of Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI). The SSM uses systems thinking in a cycle of action research and learning to help understand the various perceptions that exist in the minds of different people involved in the problematic situations. In the concept of thesis study, it will lead to identify problematic situations about design process and its sub-processes by involving the human, social and cultural factors besides the technical factors. This thesis study includes four case studies of SSM’s use to analyze the sub-processes of design process named as Requirements Management, Technical Solution, Integration, Verification and Validation sub-processes. There are seven stages of SSM and they are applied to design process and its sub-processes except the stage seven, implementation stage. The rich pictures of sub- processes are drawn based on gathered data from semi-structured interviews and then the root definitions are defined by using CATWOE rule. The conceptual models are built for sub- processes and they are compared with real world activities to address the proposed changes. The outcomes of the study will show how the rich pictures, root definition and conceptual models approaches of SSM can help to identify the problematic situations and address the proposed changes.

Title: "USER MOBILITY BASED AUTHENTICATION AND CLOUD MOCKING" 

Date: 19th January 2018

Time: 14:30 AM

Place: A-108

Thesis Abstract :

Nowadays, mobile phones are widely used and carried by people almost all the time of a day. Also, people spend lots of time using these devices and applications inside. It means that these devices keep our personal data like application usage or environmental measurements that are produced and stored by build-in sensors on mobile devices even we do not use the device. This data can describe mobility of a human being easily. In this thesis, a cross-platform application that collects application usage statistics and sensory data and sends to the cloud periodically is developed. Then a virtual profile is created according to the data on cloud. Whenever user is trying to open an application, cloud looks previous mobility records of the user and decides whether this operation and environment is typical or not. This structure is applicable for multi-level authorization. Since the application needs to many cloud communication, we have also developed a cloud mocking framework. This framework can automatically create unit tests for all possible exceptions and success scenarios and these cases can be run and test without a real cloud connection. This framework is created to save time and effort in development and unit testing.

Title: "ONTOLOGY GUIDED NEURAL NETWORK PROCESSING FOR AUTOMATIC IMAGE CAPTION GENERATION" 

Date: 24th January 2018

Time: 10:00 AM

Place: A-212

Thesis Abstract :

A fundamental problem in artificial intelligence is automatically describing the content of an image since it will help to identify objects with computer vision and create meaningful rich descriptions using natural language processing. At the same time, searching for an image with a description is another key element in proving theory work vice versa. In this work, ontology guided neural network processing will be used to further improve previous work regarding to image caption generation. By using ontology, more reliable results could be deducted from neural network processing by associating objects and their activities with vector results. Final trained system is expected to better process visual input and create better descriptions for images by also using RNNs(recurrent neural networks); thus, the work is aimed at further improving BLEU score of earlier works.

Title: Neural Mechanisms Underlying Sub-Second Crossmodal Time Perception 

PhD Candidate: Utku Kaya

Program: Cognitive Science Department 

Date: 23 January Tuesday 15:30

Place: Conference Hall-01

Abstract: The integration of information from different senses is central to our perception of the world including the fundamental attributes of space and time. Audiovisual interactions have been particularly well studied in this context. Similar to the fact that visual stimuli can drive the perception of where a sound comes from (spatial ventriloquism), auditory stimuli can drive the perceived timing of visual events (temporal ventriloquism). These interactions are in accordance with the auditory system’s superior temporal and the visual system’s superior spatial resolution. The current study aims to understand the neural mechanisms underlying temporal ventriloquism. To achieve this objective, we collected behavioral and electroencephalography (EEG) data in tandem in four experiments. In Experiment-1, we have investigated how a single auditory event changes the perceived timing of a single visual event by varying the temporal offset between auditory and visual events. Experiment-2 focused on the mechanisms underlying the auditory influences on the visual time interval perception. In Experiment-3, we studied the effect of temporal ventriloquism on the perception of apparent motion by altering the timing of visual events leading to the motion percept. In the last experiment, we investigated the cortical mechanisms involved in the time interval adaptation aftereffects on the visual apparent motion. Overall, these experiments have significant contributions to our understanding of auditory influences on visual timing and cross-modal time perception in general. More generally, this study attempts to bridge the gap between our unified multisensory representation of the external world and low-frequency brain oscillations within the context of temporal ventriloquism.
