Morphological and structural complexity analysis of low-resource English-Turkish language pair using neural machine translation models
Acı, Mehmet | Vuran Sarı, Nisa | Acı, Çiğdem
Neural machine translation (NMT) has achieved remarkable success in high-resource language pairs; however, its effectiveness for morphologically rich and low-resource languages like Turkish remains underexplored. As a highly agglutinative and morphologically complex language with limited high-quality parallel data, Turkish serves as a representative case for evaluating NMT systems on low-resource and linguistically challenging settings. Its structural divergence from English makes it a critical testbed for assessing tokenization strategies, attention mechanisms, and model generalizability in neural translation. This study investigates the comparative performance of two prominent NMT paradigms—the Transformer architecture, and recurrent-based sequence-to-sequence (Seq2Seq) models with atten...
A hybrid CNN-GRU model with XAI-Driven interpretability using LIME and SHAP for static analysis in malware detection
Sarı, Nisa Vuran | Acı, Mehmet
The increasing sophistication of evolving malware types and attack techniques has rendered traditional antivirus solutions inadequate, particularly in mitigating zero-day threats. To address this challenge, Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL)-based approaches have been developed, demonstrating significant efficacy and high accuracy in malware classification. However, the black box nature of these models raises significant concerns in terms of transparency and interpretability. This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of Ensemble Learning and Deep Learning methods for static analysis-based malware classification, which allows joint analysis of Application Programming Interface (API) calls and Dynamic Link Library (DLL) data. In the study, a specially designed Convolutional Ne...
