Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7An Island Parallel Harris Hawks Optimization Algorithm(Springer London Ltd, 2022) Dokeroglu, Tansel; Sevinc, Ender; 234173; 06.09. Yazılım Mühendisliği; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiThe Harris hawk optimization (HHO) is an impressive optimization algorithm that makes use of unique mathematical approaches. This study proposes an island parallel HHO (IP-HHO) version of the algorithm for optimizing continuous multi-dimensional problems for the first time in the literature. To evaluate the performance of the IP-HHO, thirteen unimodal and multimodal benchmark problems with different dimensions (30, 100, 500, and 1000) are evaluated. The implementation of this novel algorithm took into account the investigation, exploitation, and avoidance of local optima issues effectively. Parallel computation provides a multi-swarm environment for thousands of hawks simultaneously. On all issue cases, we were able to enhance the performance of the sequential version of the HHO algorithm. As the number of processors increases, the suggested IP-HHO method enhances its performance while retaining scalability and improving its computation speed. The IP-HHO method outperforms the other state-of-the-art metaheuristic algorithms on average as the size of the dimensions grows.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 8Predicting the Severity of Covid-19 Patients Using a Multi-Threaded Evolutionary Feature Selection Algorithm(Wiley, 2022) Kiziloz, Hakan Ezgi; Sevinc, Ender; Dokeroglu, Tansel; Deniz, Ayca; 234173; 06.09. Yazılım Mühendisliği; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiThe COVID-19 pandemic has huge effects on the global community and an extreme burden on health systems. There are more than 185 million confirmed cases and 4 million deaths as of July 2021. Besides, the exponential rise in COVID-19 cases requires a quick prediction of the patients' severity for better treatment. In this study, we propose a Multi-threaded Genetic feature selection algorithm combined with Extreme Learning Machines (MG-ELM) to predict the severity level of the COVID-19 patients. We conduct a set of experiments on a recently published real-world dataset. We reprocess the dataset via feature construction to improve the learning performance of the algorithm. Upon comprehensive experiments, we report the most impactful features and symptoms for predicting the patients' severity level. Moreover, we investigate the effects of multi-threaded implementation with statistical analysis. In order to verify the efficiency of MG-ELM, we compare our results with traditional and state-of-the-art techniques. The proposed algorithm outperforms other algorithms in terms of prediction accuracy.
