YTÜ's Mark on TÜBİTAK Artificial Intelligence Ecosystem and ARDEB 1001 Calls
Yıldız Technical University’s scientists have achieved remarkable success in TÜBİTAK’s prestigious support programs. Supported projects in both artificial intelligence and various engineering fields are set to make valuable contributions to the scientific world.
A Major Step in the Artificial Intelligence Ecosystem Call
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ceyda Şen, a faculty member from YTÜ’s Department of Industrial Engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, has drawn attention with her project titled “Raw Milk Supply Quantity and Price Forecasting in Turkey and Business Profitability Simulation Based on Results”, supported under the TÜBİTAK 1711-YZE-2024 Artificial Intelligence Ecosystem Call. This project aims to develop solutions that optimize business profitability through AI-driven raw milk supply and price forecasting.
This project is one of the 11 projects selected for support under the TÜBİTAK 1711 Artificial Intelligence Ecosystem Call. Under the academic consultancy of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ceyda Şen, the project will be conducted in collaboration with multiple stakeholders. Utilizing machine learning and deep learning models, it aims to enhance the efficiency of milk production processes and reduce uncertainties in the sector. With contributions from the TÜBİTAK Artificial Intelligence Institute, the project carries the mission of integrating AI-based solutions into the dairy industry, promoting digital transformation in the sector.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ceyda Şen’s work in this project will pave the way for innovative AI applications in the food sector.
YTÜ Projects Shine in the ARDEB 1001 Call
