    Genetic Algorithm Based Hybrid Clustering Technique for the Retinal Blood Vessels Segmentation
    (IEEE, 2022-12-09) Dasanayake, D; Athuraliya, N; De Silva, H; Fernando, K; Haddela ., P.S
    Important details about the visual anomaly can be found in the retinal fundus imaging. The segmentation of the blood vessels is crucial and necessary for diagnosing different ocular fundus. The primary and most common causes of blindness are diabetic retinopathy and its effects on the retinal vascular structures. The study suggested a genetic algorithm combined with the K-means clustering technique for unsupervised retinal segmentation. An essential pre-processing step for vessel identification applications is vessel enhancement. The CLAHE filtering method is employed in this work as a preprocessing step for vessel improvement. The improved vessels were grouped together using a genetic approach, and K-means clustering was applied for superior clustering outcomes. DRIVE and IOSTAR databases that are accessible to the public are used to evaluate the suggested strategy. According to the experimental findings, the proposed algorithm successfully separates clusters that are more dense and well-separated than those of other previous findings. Both the Calinski-Harabasz I ndex S core and the Silhouette Index Score are used to validate the proposed algorithm.

    Use of Interpretable Evolved Search Query Classifiers for Sinhala Documents
    (Springer, Cham, 2021-01) Haddela, P; Hirsch, L; Brunsdon, T; Gaudoin, J
    Document analysis is a well matured yet still active research field, partly as a result of the intricate nature of building computational tools but also due to the inherent problems arising from the variety and complexity of human languages. Breaking down language barriers is vital in enabling access to a number of recent technologies. This paper investigates the application of document classification methods to new Sinhalese datasets. This language is geographically isolated and rich with many of its own unique features. We will examine the interpretability of the classification models with a particular focus on the use of evolved Lucene search queries generated using a Genetic Algorithm (GA) as a method of document classification. We will compare the accuracy and interpretability of these search queries with other popular classifiers. The results are promising and are roughly in line with previous work on English language datasets.
