Publication Embargo CricSquad: A System to Recommend Ideal Players to a Particular Match and Predict the Outcome of the Match(IEEE, 2023-06-12) Lekamge, E. L.; Wickramasinghe, K. R.; Gamage, S. E.; Thennakoon, T. M. K. L.; Haddela, P.S; Senaratne, SSelection of the cricket squad plays a very important role in the outcome of the match. This work is about selecting ideal players for a cricket match and predicting the outcome of the match according to the selected cricket team. A cricket squad consist of around 15 to 16 players, with different expertise in batting, bowling, fielding. To select players for the squad, points were calculated using a statistical approach considering player’s overall career data. And then for the further use of selecting players for the squad next match performance of each and every player were predicted using Machine Learning techniques. Association rule mining was used to find frequent winning player combinations with day/night, home/away, batting first/second, against different opponent combinations. Finally calculate points for each player in both teams, then predict the outcome of the match with classification algorithms by considering the calculated total points of each team and other factors such as toss outcome, batting inning, day night conditions and venue. As for the results, XG boost regressor has produced the highest R2 score of 0.92 for batsman runs prediction model while random forest regressor has produced the highest R2 score of 0.66 for bowler wickets prediction model. The Gradient Boost Classifier predicted the Outcome of a match with the highest accuracy of 0.92 while the K Nearest Neighbor achieved the lowest accuracy of 0.82 score.Publication Open Access Regression-Based Prediction of Power Generation at Samanalawewa Hydropower Plant in Sri Lanka Using Machine Learning(Hindawi, 2021-07-31) Ekanayake, P; Wickramasinghe, L; Jayasinghe, J. M; Rathnayake, U. SThis paper presents the development of models for the prediction of power generation at the Samanalawewa hydropower plant, which is one of the major power stations in Sri Lanka. Four regression-based machine learning and statistical techniques were applied to develop the prediction models. Rainfall data at six locations in the catchment area of the Samanalawewa reservoir from 1993 to 2019 were used as the main input variables. The minimum and maximum temperature and evaporation at the reservoir site were also incorporated. The collinearities between the variables were investigated in terms of Pearson’s and Spearman’s correlation coefficients. It was found that rainfall at one location is less impactful on power generation, while that at other locations are highly correlated with each other. Prediction models based on monthly and quarterly data were developed, and their performance was evaluated in terms of the correlation coefficient (R), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), ratio of the root mean square error (RMSE) to the standard deviation of measured data (RSR), BIAS, and the Nash number. Of the Gaussian process regression (GPR), support vector regression (SVR), multiple linear regression (MLR), and power regression (PR), the machine learning techniques (GPR and SVR) produced the comparably accurate prediction models. Being the most accurate prediction model, the GPR produced the best correlation coefficient closer to 1 with a very less error. This model could be used in predicting the hydropower generation at the Samanalawewa power station using the rainfall forecast.
