    CXR Scan:X-Ray Image Scanning Application for Lung Cancer and Tuberculosis
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2022-10-15) Jayasooriya, A.M.U.J.; Wickramasekara, T.M.A.M; Jayasinghe, I.C.; Gunaratne, U.A.; Weerasinghe, L; Dassanayake, G. T
    The initial criterion for identifying lung disorders is chest radiographs. The three major lung illnesses that pose the greatest threat to public health are tuberculosis, pneumonia, and lung cancer. Chest X-ray diagnosis of pulmonary illnesses is a challenging undertaking that requires high experience. In rural places, it can be difficult to locate skilled radiologists. Due to the high frequency of TB and lung cancer radiological similarities, many individuals with lung cancer are initially misdiagnosed as having TB and treated incorrectly. According to a recent WHO survey, millions of people die each year as a result of delayed or incorrect diagnoses of lung diseases. This death rate can be reduced, by early detection of certain disorders. This paper proposes a system with 4 main components; Image processing of chest X-rays to identify the disease using Convolutional Neural networks; Predicting the probability of having LC or TB using multivariate data classification techniques; Recommending medicine and related information to support the decision-making process using gaussian naïve bayes, logistic regression model and decision tree classification methods; Visualizing the X-ray image using Augmented Reality.

    Multilingual Conversational AI incorporated with Visual Questions Answering and Intelligent Disease Prediction for Healthcare Industry
    (IEEE, 2022-07-18) Sasmitha, N. U. A.; Wathasha, H. K. G. V.; Guruge, P. P. L.; Silva, W. J. T.; Rupasinghe, L; Gunarathne, G. W. D. A.
    Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more active than ever in everyday life and steadily being incorporated to healthcare. AI, with its seemingly limitless power, affirms a promising future to a revolutionized healthcare system. This paper is proposing a conversational AI solution in two different languages, English and Sinhala, to predict diseases through a conversation, a visual question answering solution to generate answers are based on a given question and a medical image and a disease forecasting module. A robust, accurate prediction is a rather difficult task given the availability of data and absence of preprocessed, clean data. With the aid of outlier rejection, data imputation, vectorization, feature selection and data standardization, the proposed framework gets the advantage of latest machine learning advancements such as AI using DIET classifier and NLU pipelines, for the conversational disease diagnosis which uses support vector machine (SVM) achieved an accuracy of 0.93. Moreover, the visual questions answering module with VGG16 preprocessing, GoogleNews vectors, LSTM networks, scores an accuracy of 0.9721. In addition, time series analysis models such as ARIMA and adaptive models using PROPHET library for forecasting diseases, classification using random forest scoring an accuracy of 0.81, logistic regression scoring an accuracy of 0.84 for predicting diseases. The objective of this research is to compare and select the best fitting models to be used for a centralized framework for healthcare industry.

    Towards Smart Farming: Accurate Prediction of Paddy Harvest and Rice Demand
    (IEEE, 2019-01-31) Hashini Saranga, A. M; Weerakkody, W. A. N. D; Palliyaguru, S. T; Muthusinghe, R; Rankothge, W
    Rice is the predominant staple food in Asian countries. It has a major impact on the social and economic development of these countries. Therefore, it is very important to keep the sustainability between paddy cultivation and consumer demand. Paddy crop yield and demand for rice of a country depend on numerous factors such as rainfall, humidity, citizen's life styles etc. Hence, the prediction of future harvest and demand is a complex process. There is a requirement for a platform that predicts on future harvest and demands based on all affecting factors. We have proposed a platform that targets the smart farming concepts for paddy, with following modules: (1) a prediction module to predict paddy harvest and (2) a prediction module to predict rice demand. We have developed the prediction modules using two machine learning algorithms: (1) Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and (2) Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). The performances of algorithms were evaluated using real data sets for the Sri Lankan context. Our results show that the prediction modules are giving accurate results in a short time.

    Comparison of different Artificial Neural Network (ANN) training algorithms to predict atmospheric temperature in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia
    (researchgate.net, 2020-06) Perera, A; Azamathulla, H; Rathnayake, U
    Use of Artificial neural network (ANN) models to predict weather parameters has become important over the years. ANN models give more accurate results in weather and climate forecasting among many other methods. However, different models require different data and these data have to be handled accordingly, but carefully. In addition, most of these data are from non-linear processes and therefore, the prediction models are usually complex. Nevertheless, neural networks perform well for non-linear data and produce well acceptable results. Therefore, this study was carried out to compare different ANN models to predict the minimum atmospheric temperature and maximum atmospheric temperature in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. ANN models were trained using eight different training algorithms. BFGS Quasi Newton (BFG), Conjugate gradient with Powell-Beale restarts (CGB), Levenberg-Marquadt (LM), Scaled Conjugate Gradient (SCG), Fletcher-Reeves update Conjugate Gradient algorithm (CGF), One Step Secant (OSS), Polak-Ribiere update Conjugate Gradient (CGP) and Resilient Back-Propagation (RP) training algorithms were fed to the climatic data in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The performance of the different training algorithms to train ANN models were evaluated using Mean Squared Error (MSE) and correlation coefficient (R). The evaluation shows that training algorithms BFG, LM and SCG have outperformed others while OSS training algorithm has the lowest performance in comparison to other algorithms used.

    Supply and Demand Planning for Water: A Sustainable Water Management System
    (2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) Athapaththu, A.M.H.N.; Illeperumarachchi, D.U.S.; Herath, H.M.K.U.; Jayasinghe, H.K.; Rankothge, W.H.; Gamage, N.
    Sustainable water management requires maintaining the balance between the demand and supply, specifically addressing water demand in urban, agricultural, and natural systems. Having an insight on water supply forecasting and water consumption forecasting, will be useful to generate an optimal water distribution plan. A platform that targets the sustainable water management concepts for domestic usage and paddy cultivation is proposed in this paper, with the following components: (1) forecasting water levels of reservoirs, (2) forecasting water consumption patterns, and (3) optimizing the water distribution. We have used Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) for forecasting modules and, Genetic Programming (GP) for optimizing water distribution. Our results show that, using our proposed modules, sustainable water management related services can be automated efficiently and effectively.

    Hand Rehabilitation Using Robot-Assisted Physiotherapy
    (2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) Madhushan, I.H.D.; Charnara, E.B.K.; De Zoysa, A.T.J.; Upeka, G.S.; Abhayasinghe, N.; Abeygunawardhana, P.
    Robotics technology in the modern world is currently being implemented in medical fields to improve the quality of care and patient outcomes. In the proposed system, the robotics technology is used for physiotherapy. In the existing physiotherapy robot devices, there is no feature that provides exercise for every joint of the fingers and the wrist. Therefore, in this system, we used forward kinematics technologies to address each joint of the fingers and wrist thatcan access by the physiotherapist. We have designed the robot hand using the solid work and implemented 3D model then assembled system was tested again using different scenarios. Most existing robotic systems provide finger and wrist exercises separately, but our system can provide all exercises simultaneously. In here, we can predict the next exercises that are given for the patient and the progress of the rehabilitation of the patient. For the prediction, we developed the models using the FB prophet algorithm. When using this device, the patient's hand exercises are monitored in real-time and the physiotherapist can see the angles of the hand movement while controlling the robot device. To control this robot device, we used a mobile application.
