    EDU-SENSE: AI-Driven Adaptive E-Learning System for Primary Education
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025-12-09) Shanmugalingam, N; Maheshwaran, L; Rizvee, I; Roshni R.J; Samarakoon, U; Rajendran, K
    This research addresses critical gaps in primary education by integrating AI-driven e-learning tools with traditional classroom teaching, ensuring technology supports rather than replaces teachers while improving student learning outcomes. In getting ready for high-pressure exams like Sri Lanka's Grade 5 Scholarship Examination, maintaining student engagement and emotional well-being remains a significant challenge. EDU-SENSE is an AI-driven web platform designed for primary education that integrates personalized content delivery, stress detection, and an emotion-aware chatbot. The system begins with a diagnostic pre-test to assess individual skill levels,and provides syllabus-aligned questions, and delivers targeted revision based on identified knowledge gaps. A s tress-aware module and motivational chatbot provide emotional support, while peer collaboration features promote teamwork and knowledge sharing. Using Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, and fine-tuned Large Language Models, EDU-SENSE offers a holistic solution that enhances both academic performance and emotional well-being in young learners.

    Optimizing LLMs for Context-Sensitive Text Summarization: Insights from PLOS and SciSummNet
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025-12-09) Nawarathne U.M.M.P.K; Subasinghe, S; Rathnayake, T; Sumathipala, P
    Text summarization is an important task in natural language processing (NLP), as it allows vital information to be extracted from large amounts of textual input. This work investigates the efficacy of fine tuning large language models (LLMs) for summarization tasks by comparing their performance to that of untuned alternatives. Using the PLOS dataset consisted of biomedical papers and SciSummNet dataset consisted of computing linguistics related scientific papers, LLM models such as Falconsai-T5 text summarization, T5-small, Bart and Bart-large-CNN were tested using ROUGE, BLEU, and METEOR metrics to measure their summarization abilities. The results show that fine-tuning improves model performance significantly across the evaluation metrics. Fine tuned models performed well on the SciSummNet dataset, with Bart-tuned model getting the highest scores across multiple measures, demonstrating the efficacy of targeted adaptation where the obtained results for ROUGE-1-0.6808, ROUGE-2 0.6487, BLEU - 0.4163, and METEOR - 0.5083. The analysis underscores the importance of aligning model architectures and datasets to achieve optimal results. The structured biomedical content of the PLOS dataset highlighted the vital necessity of semantic preservation, as evidenced by specially the higher METEOR scores achieved by fine tuned models. The SciSummNet dataset, which focuses on computing and linguistic publications, demonstrated the ability of the models to navigate abstract concepts and complex technical vocabulary. This study demonstrates the transformative power of fine-tuning in customizing LLMs resulting in significant increases in summarization accuracy.
