    Software Maintainability Prediction Using Static Code Metrics and Machine Learning FORTHCOMING

    F. Şengül

    Currently in publication process

    Crossing my research background with day-to-day ABAP / Fiori work: can static code metrics alone predict how maintainable a module will be? Trains ML classifiers on metric vectors to forecast maintainability tiers — aimed at teams who need a triage signal before a full review. Full abstract and results publish with the paper.

    Detection of Military Aircraft Using YOLO and Transformer-Based Object Detection Models in Complex Environments

    F. Şengül, K. Adem

    Bilişim Teknolojileri Dergisi · Vol. 18, No. 1, pp. 85–97 · Gazi University

    Benchmarks YOLOv7, YOLOv8 and RT-DETR on a 19,514-image dataset spanning 43 aircraft models, shot from varied angles against urban, rural and coastal backgrounds. After hyperparameter tuning and class-imbalance analysis, YOLOv8 leads at 94.0% mAP / 88.1% recall, RT-DETR follows with 92.7% mAP and the highest recall (90.4%), YOLOv7 trails at 90.2% / 82.7%. The paper gives a practical read on where each family breaks down in cluttered defense scenes.

    A Modified MFCC-based Deep Learning Method for Emotion Classification from Speech

    F. Şengül, S. Akkaya

    International Advanced Researches and Engineering Journal · Vol. 8, No. 1, pp. 33–42

    Speech carries emotion, not just vocabulary — a signal worth decoding for richer human–machine interaction. Using the TESS dataset from the University of Toronto, the paper extracts MFCC feature maps and feeds them into a purpose-built CNN, benchmarked against an LSTM baseline. The MFCC + CNN pipeline reaches 99.5% accuracy on emotion classification, outperforming prior work on the same set.

    YOLOv7 ve YOLOv8 Algoritmalarının Değerlendirilmesi: Savaş Uçaklarının Tespiti İçin Performans Analizi

    F. Şengül, K. Adem

    Conference paper · 43-class, 19,514-image fighter-jet dataset

    Head-to-head evaluation of YOLOv7 and YOLOv8 on military aircraft detection across complex backgrounds and varied angles. Reported on precision, recall and mAP, YOLOv8 edges YOLOv7 at 0.940 vs. 0.902 mAP. Both detect jets reliably in cluttered scenes — the paper positions YOLOv8 as the stronger candidate for downstream defense-AI pipelines. Conference precursor to the 2025 journal study.

    Sentiment Analysis Based on Machine Learning Methods on Twitter Data Using oneAPI

    F. Şengül, K. Adem, E. K. Yılmaz

    International Conference on Contemporary Academic Research · Accelerated with Intel oneAPI during ambassador term

    Tweets turned into signal: using the Sentiment140 corpus, the paper runs a clean-then-classify pipeline with Bernoulli Naive Bayes, Linear SVM, Logistic Regression, LSTM and CNN — the last two combined in a hybrid. Scored by F1 and accuracy, the deep models top out at 0.85 (CNN) and 0.83 (LSTM), beating the classical baselines. The whole stack runs on Intel oneAPI toolkits — the work grew out of my oneAPI Student Ambassador term.

    Using Image Processing and Machine Learning Algorithms for the Detection of Surface Cracks

    F. Şengül, K. Adem

    SIVAS International Conference on Scientific and Innovation Research · Vol. 1, No. 1, pp. 1201–1214 · IKSAD Institute

    Manual crack inspection on buildings and roads is slow, costly and subjective. This work replaces it with an automated pipeline: morphological image processing and Hough-line transform extract crack features, then Naive Bayes, Random Forest, KNN and MLP classify. The winning combo — Hough-line + Random Forest — hits 97% accuracy, landing as a credible low-cost alternative for infrastructure condition monitoring.
