🎓 Successfully completed the 72-hour "Hands-On Workshop on Machine Learning and Deep Learning"!

From data preprocessing to model evaluation, from machine learning algorithms to deep learning architectures, it was an intensive and comprehensive training packed with both theoretical foundations and practical applications.

🔍 What did we cover?

• Critical preprocessing steps such as handling missing values, outliers, data transformations, and balancing techniques

• Clustering and dimensionality reduction methods like K-Means, DBSCAN, PCA, and t-SNE

• Core machine learning algorithms including Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, Random Forests, KNN, SVM, and Naive Bayes

• Evaluation metrics like ROC-AUC, Confusion Matrix, and F1-Score

• A solid introduction to deep learning architectures: ANN, CNN, RNN, LSTM, and GRU

At every step, the focus wasn't just on how to apply a method, but why and when to use it—making the learning experience much more meaningful and lasting.

📌 A huge thank you to our instructor Ozan Alptekin and all fellow participants who turned this journey into a collaborative and insightful experience through discussions, hands-on practice, and shared learning.

📍 Special thanks to Bilim Yunusemre for hosting,
📍 and BTK Akademi for making this opportunity possible.

🚀 Looking forward to applying these insights in future projects!

I am proud to share that the project, in which I took on both the Executive and Developer roles, has been granted support under the TÜBİTAK 2209-B Industry-Oriented Undergraduate Research Projects Support Program! ✨️

Titled "Manisa Smart Transportation System: AI-Powered Public Transit Management", this project aims to address public transportation challenges in Manisa by leveraging artificial intelligence and deep learning technologies to create a more efficient and sustainable transportation system.

Within the scope of the project:

° Passenger density and characteristics at bus stops will be instantly analyzed using AI-based image processing and deep learning algorithms,

° Dynamic bus scheduling will be implemented to eliminate unnecessary trips and introduce additional ones based on real-time passenger demand,

° Users will have access to real-time bus schedule information via a web and mobile application.

Our goal is to make the public transportation system in Manisa more accessible, efficient, and aligned with environmental sustainability. Additionally, we aim to achieve economic and ecological savings by ensuring more effective use of public resources. 🌍🚍

I would like to thank my teammates Soner Başak and Eren Baykuş, our academic advisor Volkan Altıntaş, PhD, whose deep expertise guided us throughout the process, our industrial advisor Barış Çukurbaşı, and our industry partner XRLab for their invaluable contributions.

We are excited to transform the knowledge and experience we gain throughout this journey into real impact, both academically and in the industry!

This is a test post. I am planning to create a page where I can share events, trainings, and other updates about myself, similar to LinkedIn. This way, I will be able to share my current status with my network without the risk of being misunderstood. Whenever I participate in events or take part in new training programs, I will have the opportunity to announce them here, providing a transparent view of my professional development and areas of interest. This approach will allow me to maintain more effective communication with my followers and the business community.
