The results indicate the superiority of CNN model over other models. We conclude that CNN based models perform best in financial time series prediction.Publication Embargo Intelligent Disease Detection System for Greenhouse with a Robotic Monitoring System(2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) Fernando, S.; Nethmi, R.; Silva, A.; Perera, A.; De Silva, R.; Abeygunawardhana, P.K.W.Greenhouse farming plays a significant role in the agricultural industry because of its controlled climatic features. Recent examinations have stated that the mean creation of the yields under greenhouses is lessening due to disease events in the plants. These foods have become an imposing undertaking because these plants are being assaulted by different bacterial diseases, micro-organisms, and pests. The chemicals are applied to the plants intermittently without thinking about the necessity of each plant. Several problems have occurred in the greenhouse environment due to these causes. Therefore, there is a huge necessity for a system to detect diseases at an early stage. This research focused on designing a system to detect disease, which causes yellowish in greenhouse plants. Plant yellowing can be considered a significant problem of plants that grow under greenhouse-controlled environments. Through this research is focused on the most important and one of the most attentiongrabbing crop tomato. There are specific diseases that cause yellowish the tomato plant, and they have been identified. The techniques utilized for early recognition of infection are image processing, machine learning, and deep learning.Publication Embargo Deepfake Audio Detection: A Deep Learning Based Solution for Group Conversations(2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) Wijethunga, R.L.M.A.P.C.; Matheesha, D.M.K.; Al Noman, A.; De Silva, K.H.V.T.A.; Tissera, M.; Rupasinghe, L.The recent advancements in deep learning and other related technologies have led to improvements in various areas such as computer vision, bio-informatics, and speech recognition etc. This research mainly focuses on a problem with synthetic speech and speaker diarization. The developments in audio have resulted in deep learning models capable of replicating naturalsounding voice also known as text-to-speech (TTS) systems. This technology could be manipulated for malicious purposes such as deepfakes, impersonation, or spoofing attacks. We propose a system that has the capability of distinguishing between real and synthetic speech in group conversations.We built Deep Neural Network models and integrated them into a single solution using different datasets, including but not limited to Urban- Sound8K (5.6GB), Conversational (12.2GB), AMI-Corpus (5GB), and FakeOrReal (4GB). Our proposed approach consists of four main components. The speech-denoising component cleans and preprocesses the audio using Multilayer-Perceptron and Convolutional Neural Network architectures, with 93% and 94% accuracies accordingly. The speaker diarization was implemented using two different approaches, Natural Language Processing for text conversion with 93% accuracy and Recurrent Neural Network model for speaker labeling with 80% accuracy and 0.52 Diarization-Error-Rate. The final component distinguishes between real and fake audio using a CNN architecture with 94% accuracy. With these findings, this research will contribute immensely to the domain of speech analysis.Publication Embargo A Geophone Based Surveillance System Using Neural Networks and IoT(2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) Supun Hettigoda, Chamath Jayaminda; Amarathunga, U.; Wijesundara, M.; Wijekoon, J.; Thaha, S.Securing our assets and properties from intruders and thieves has become increasingly challenging as intruders become technology aware. The most common approach to monitor physical assets is CCTV. However, this approach has a number of technical limitations in addition to the cost. The CCTV camera location is visible to the intruder and intruder can also identify possible blind spots in the CCTV coverage area. In this paper, we introduce a novel method to secure physical assets using Geophones, Neural Networks, and IoT Platforms. This can either be used stand alone or to complement existing CCTV systems. In this approach, the system monitors vibrations on ground to detect intruders. We have achieved up to 93.90% overall accuracy for person identification. The system is invisible to intruders and covers a large area with a smaller number of nodes, thereby reducing the cost of ownership.Publication Embargo A Deep Learning Approach to Outbreak related Tweet Detection(2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) Jayawardhana, B. A. S. S. B.; Rajapakse, R. A. C. P.Due to the popularity of social media around the world, people use to report and discuss real-world events, personal health complications, and disaster situations through these platforms. These social media data streams can be used to track and detect different types of outbreaks. A mechanism is needed to identify outbreak-related tweets to predict the outbreak in advance. In this paper, we propose a deep learning model that can detect tweets related to different outbreaks Epidemics, Public Disorders, and Disasters. GloVe (Global Vectors for Word Representation) embeddings are used as the feature extraction technique as it can capture the semantic meanings of the tweets. Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) which is a specialized Recurrent Neural Network architecture is used as the classification algorithm. In the process, first, outbreak-related tweets were manually collected and curated. Pretrained GloVe word embeddings of 100 dimensions were then used to represent the words of the tweets. As the next step, a Deep Learning Model was trained by using LSTM technique on the curated dataset. Finally, the performance of the model was evaluated using a different dataset. With the results, it can be concluded that the proposed deep learning model is an accurate approach for outbreak-related tweet detection.Publication Embargo Smart Intelligent Floriculture Assistant Agent (SIFAA)(2021 3rd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2021-12-09) Samaratunge, U.S.S.; Amarasinghe, D.H.L.; Kirindegamaarachchi, M.C.; Asanka, B.L.Technology has become a vital aspect for various functional purposes throughout the world and some industries like floriculture have not adapted technology to solve and facilitate currently facing problems and provide the supply to the demand.
