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 […]
