    Disease Identification and Mapping using CNN in Paddy Fields
    (Faculty of Humanities and Sciences, SLIIT, 2023-11-01) Sandeepanie, W.D.N; Rathnayake, S; Gunasinghe, A
    Rice, a globally vital staple crop, sustains over half of the world’s caloric needs while supporting the livelihoods of small-scale farmers and landless laborers. The escalating global population has led to an increased demand for rice production. Sri Lanka, renowned for its premium rice quality, has a rich history of paddy cultivation. However, a substantial portion of the country’s 708,000 hectares of paddy land remains underutilized due to water scarcity and unstable terrain. The objective of this project is to enhance paddy crop quality during the critical vegetative phase by employing machine learning and web development for early disease identification. The vegetative phase significantly influences overall yield, resistance to pests and diseases, nutrient assimilation, and environmental sustainability in agriculture. This project primarily focuses on early disease identification during this phase and presents the findings through a user-friendly map interface. Early identification of paddy diseases is vital for effective crop management and high yields. These diseases, caused by various pathogens, can severely impede plant growth and productivity if not promptly detected and treated. Identifying them early enables farmers and experts to take timely, targeted actions such as applying suitable fungicides or implementing cultural practices to control their spread and minimize crop damage. A logical map, displaying disease spread percentages, will gauge the impact of infections on paddy plants. The reliability of this mapping process hinges on model accuracy, which was rigorously validated using multiple metrics to ensure its effectiveness.

    Ayurvedic Knowledge Sharing Platform with Sinhala Virtual Assistant
    (2019 1st International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2019-12-05) Jayalath, A.D.A.D.S.; Nadeeshan, P.V.D.; Amarawansh, T.G.A.G.D.; Jayasuriya, H.P.; Nawinna, D. P.
    Apart from western medicine methods Ayurveda medicinal system is a very huge and better resulting medicinal technique. In these Ayurveda methods identification of indigenous plants to predict the medicines is very important and must do very carefully. Generally main components that we use to identify a plant are leaf, flower, trunk and root etc. Among these features, we use images of leaves and flowers. To do this we are using deep learning based CNN approaches and machine learning and technologies. Those are OpenCV, and Tensorflow classification algorithm. According to the evidences that we gathered from surveys and interviews that we conducted with the responsible parties we could find out that lots of people don’t have much knowledge about indigenous medicinal plants and their Ayurveda treatment methods. To overcome this problem we implemented Ayurveda information centralized chatbot which is able to answer user’s questions relevant to the Ayurveda and indigenous medicinal plants. Chatbot will analyze the question that user asks and will provide answers according to that. Another useful feature of this system is it provides relevant information of Ayurveda doctors. So users can find doctors according to their needs and they are able to rate and give recommendations for the doctors. That will be help others to find doctors more easily and efficiently without any doubt.

    E-Agrigo
    (2021 3rd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2021-12-09) Kartheepan, T.; SirigajanK, B.; Subangan, K.; Mohammed Azzam, M.A.; Bandara, P.; Mahaadikara, M.M.D.J.T.H.
    To feed this population, food production should be increased by at least 70%. Developing nations have a vast potential to increase the amount of food produced by doubling the current production. However, the traditional methods of farming are making agriculture unviable and inefficient. The increasing food production needs to be met by double the current level of farming. The conventional of farming is making industry uncompetitive and inefficient. This paper aims to analyze the various factors that affect the implementation of autonomous machinery in agriculture. The development of autonomous machinery for agriculture has emerged as vital step towards achieving this goal. Now a day’s farmers are planning their cultivation by finding proper weather and geographical condition on their own experience, but they are failing to cultivate profitable crop and unaware of the diseases that will affect their crops, sometimes these diseases may affect their whole crops and let the farmers to sink in zero profit. Despite these issues plays a major role, there are some other problems also have an impact like, lack of irrigation plans and question of how and where to sell their cultivated crops. By considering these major threats we have planned to propose a solution to some of the selected issues. This can be achieved by applying machine learning algorithm, Image processing and IOT systems. By using our platform farmers will get a chance to plan their yield in a profitable way by using our optimized weather and geographical data.

    Comparative analysis of the application of Deep Learning techniques for Forex Rate prediction
    (IEEE, 2019-12-05) Aryal, S; Nadarajah, D; Kasthurirathna, D; Rupasinghe, L; Jayawardena, C
    Forecasting the financial time series is an extensive field of study. Even though the econometric models, traditional machine learning models, artificial neural networks and deep learning models have been used to predict the financial time series, deep learning models have been recently employed to do predictions of financial time series. In this paper, three different deep learning models called Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Temporal Convolution Network (TCN) have been used to predict the United States Dollar (USD) to Sri Lankan Rupees (LKR) exchange rate and compared the accuracy of the models. The results indicate the superiority of CNN model over other models. We conclude that CNN based models perform best in financial time series prediction.
