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 […]

New studies by Dr. Algin and his team on Diffusion Tensor Imaging and MR Cisternography have been published in SCI journals.

Oktay Algin and his colleagues conducted two studies published in two international scientific journals. The names of these studies are ‘Evaluation of the Glymphatic System in Rabbits Using Gadobutrol-Enhanced MR Cisternography With T1 and T2 Mapping’ and ‘Thalamo-insular cortex connections in the rat and human’.

Semantic Communication Over Channels with Insertions, Deletions, and Substitutions

Happy to share the first semantic communication framework on insertion-deletion-substitution (IDS) channels as published in our latest paper titled “Semantic Communication over Channels with Insertions, Deletions, and Substitutions” published in IEEE Communications Letters! A significant class of binary input channels are prone to synchronization errors, which are modeled as IDS channels. IDS channels occur in […]
