Bireylerin Sosyal Medyadaki Etkileşimlerinin YapayZekâ Bağlamında Değerlendirilmesi ve Nagel’in ÖtekiZihinler Problemine Yaklaşımı Açısından Kritiği_____________________________________________________

Artificial intelligence studies emerge as one of the most important issues in the fields of computer and informatics. One of the important problems of the philosophy of mind is the problem of "other minds" which we will evaluate within the framework of artificial intelligence studies. It is seen that the subjective character of the conscious experience determines the basis of the problem of other minds. The question "How do we know that a person and non-human creatures have a mind or are conscious," is the main question of the problem of other minds. This problem has been addressed based on our social relations with the outside world and people so far. In this direction, the purpose of the article is to critique this problem through social media, which is the socialization media and space of today's society. In conclusion, in the article, it is aimed to examine the existence of individuals on social media within the framework of artificial intelligence and with reference to the argument of the subjective character of conscious experience that Nagel put forward regarding the problem of "other minds"

LIBRARY AUTOMATION DESIGN FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED PEOPLE

Speech synthesis is a technology used in many different areas in computer science. This technology can bring a solution to reading activity of visually impaired people due to its text to speech conversion. Based on this problem, in this study, a system is designed needed for a visually impaired person to make use of all the library facilities in Sakarya University. Certain number of books in the library is transferred in digital media via a scanner and they are transferred into their own server. A visually impaired person can use the system with the help of sound orientation of the program and the keyboard commands of the user. System will be developed according to new requests. So, the purpose of this study is to bring a solution to the social problem of visually impaired people

Discriminant boosted dynamic time warping and its application to gesture recognition

Dynamic time warping (DTW) measures similarity between two data sequences by minimizing an accumulated distance between two sequence samples at each iteration and a cost is computed to assess the level of the similarity. The DTW cost may then be used to assign a sequence to a class if the problem is a classification problem. In machine learning, classification problems are solved using features with good discrimination power, which are generated by exploiting the distribution of data vectors. Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is such a technique and finds discriminative projection directions which are used to generate features as projections of sequence vectors on to these directions. Unfortunately, these techniques are not applicable to warped sequences because the mapping between the test sequences and the training sequences is not known. To solve this problem, we propose a constrained LDA framework that produces direction vectors that repeat unit vectors that have dimensions equal to the dimensions of a single sequence sample. Such projection vectors can be used without knowing the mapping of test sequence vectors to training sequence vectors. Experiment results show that generating features by discriminant analysis improves the performance significantly. Copyrigh

Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Symptoms in Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Infection: Results of the Prospective Controlled Multinational GI-COVID-19 Study

INTRODUCTION: Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms in coronavirus-19 disease (COVID-19) have been reported with great variability and without standardization. In hospitalized patients, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of GI symptoms, factors associated with their occurrence, and variation at 1 month. METHODS: The GI-COVID-19 is a prospective, multicenter, controlled study. Patients with and without COVID-19 diagnosis were recruited at hospital admission and asked for GI symptoms at admission and after 1 month, using the validated Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale questionnaire. RESULTS: The study included 2036 hospitalized patients. A total of 871 patients (575 COVID+ and 296 COVID-) were included for the primary analysis. GI symptoms occurred more frequently in patients with COVID-19 (59.7%; 343/575 patients) than in the control group (43.2%; 128/296 patients) (P < 0.001). Patients with COVID-19 complained of higher presence or intensity of nausea, diarrhea, loose stools, and urgency as compared with controls. At a 1-month follow-up, a reduction in the presence or intensity of GI symptoms was found in COVID-19 patients with GI symptoms at hospital admission. Nausea remained increased over controls. Factors significantly associated with nausea persistence in COVID-19 were female sex, high body mass index, the presence of dyspnea, and increased C-reactive protein levels. DISCUSSION: The prevalence of GI symptoms in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 is higher than previously reported. Systemic and respiratory symptoms are often associated with GI complaints. Nausea may persist after the resolution of COVID-19 infection
