Dr. Algın and his research collaborators have published a study titled ‘’Primary and nonprimary auditory cortex connectivity with brain regions involved in cognitive and emotional processing: in mouse and human’’ in the internationally respected journal Hearing Research.

This article, based on recent research by Prof. Dr. Oktay Algın and his colleagues, identifies the connections between the auditory cortex and brain regions involved in cognitive and emotional processing. The study employs retrograde fluoro-gold (FG) tracers in mice and 3-tesla high-resolution diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in human adults. While the neural mechanisms underlying acoustic […]

GraphTeacher: Transductive Fine-Tuning of Encoders through Graph Neural Networks

We are proud to announce the GraphTeacher, which is now published in IEEE Transactions on Artificial Intelligence! GraphTeacher tackles a core NLP challenge—scarce labeled data—by integrating GNNs into the fine-tuning of transformer encoders to exploit unlabeled data while excluding test nodes from the graph, eliminating re-graphing and enabling inductive, single-instance inference. 🔬 Evaluated on GLUE […]

Dr. Algın and his collaborators’ MRI robotic brain intervention system project has received R&D support from the Turkish Institutes of Health (TÜSEB) and the German R&D companies MARVIS and NORAS.

Recent research by Prof. Dr. Oktay Algın and his collaborators has led to the development of MRI-compatible brain biopsy and ablation techniques. These innovations have received support from the Turkish Institutes of Health (TÜSEB), MARVIS—a manufacturer of MRI- compatible guidewires—and NORAS, a manufacturer of MRI coils. These studies will evaluate the ability to perform MRI-compatible […]

Visibility Graphs in Natural Language Processing

Happy to share our latest paper titled “Emotion Classification with Visibility Graphs” published in IEEE Signal Processing Letters! Our novel approach introduces a visibility graph-based sequential modeling to encapsulate global relationships within texts beyond the reach of fixed context windows of transformers. Being a modular graph-based extension to any transformer-based model, our proposed approach enhances […]

Sememe Based Semantic Communications

Happy to share our latest paper titled “Sememe Based Semantic Communications” published in IEEE Communications Letters! We introduced a concept in linguistics called sememes to the domain of semantic communications. Sememes are the smallest and indivisible semantic units of word meaning. A predefined set of sememes is theoretically considered “the periodic table” of meaning in […]
