(IEEE, 2022-12-09) De Silva, D.I.; Suriyawansa, G.M. T. K. D. S.; Senevirathna, M.R. U. M. T.; Balasuriya, I.D. I.; Deshapriya, A. G. S. P.; Gadiarachchi, G. A. D. K. M.
Today, in many countries around the world, big data analysis and machine learning methods are used for industrial development. However, such techniques are rarely used in Sri Lankan agricultural industry. The success of agriculture depends heavily on the selection of the right crop. Choosing the right crop depends primarily on predicting future yields. Machine learning methods can be used very successfully to make future predictions about crop yields. Crop prediction mainly depends on the soil, geography, and climate of the growing location. Hence historical data with agricultural facts such as temperature, humidity, pH, and rainfall are used to predict yield as parameters in the machine learning function. Sri Lanka uses a traditional approach to distribute fertilizers among farmers. Not having an organized way to distribute fertilizers to the needed areas leads to many abnormalities along the way. As a result, the country is facing economic losses and resource wastage. Having an optimized distribution network is the key to overcoming those abnormalities. This research assesses the efficiency of the fertilizer distribution system and consists of time-series predictions on fertilizer usage to gain future value. The aim is to identify performance gaps in distribution management that lead to delayed fertilizer distribution affecting agricultural productivity.

Virtual Dressing Room: Smart Approach to Select and Buy Clothes
(2021 3rd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2021-12-09) Weerasinghe, S.W.P.N.M.; Rajapaksha, R.M.D.D.; Sathsara, L.G.I.; Gunasekara, H.S.D.N.; Wijendra, D.R.; De Silva, D.I.
The clothing industry portrays a major part of a respective country`s economy. Due to the predilection for clothing items of the people have led to the increasing of physical and online clothing stores in all around the world. Most of the people are used to go to the physical shopping and purchase their desired clothing items. But, as a consequence of the current pandemic situation, most of the people are unable to step out from their homes. This application is intended to cater an opportunity to the customers, who are not able to reach the physical clothing stores due to a pandemic situation and mobility difficulties. In addition, this application diminishes the time wastage, clothing size mismatches and the lesser user satisfaction ratio inside a physical clothing store. A customized 3D model has featured in the application to cater the virtual fitting experience to the customer. And the AI chatbot assistant in the application interacts with the user while catering virtual assistance for a better cloth selection process. In addition to that, this application has concentrated on the clothing shop by providing a future sales prediction component utilizing the K-Nearest Neighbors algorithm to provide an aid to their business commitments.
