Item Embargo WORDEX: Early Dyslexia Detection and Support(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Ganegoda, S.H; Dissanayake, O; Samarakoon, S; Jayawardana, N; Thelijjagoda, S; Gunathilake, PDyslexia is a prevalent and complex learning disability that affects approximately 5% of primary school students worldwide. It often manifests as persistent difficulties in reading, writing, spelling, and overall academic performance, which can lead to long-term educational and psychological impacts if not addressed early. To facilitate the early identification and support of dyslexic learners aged 7 to 10, this paper introduces Wordex, an innovative and adaptive educational platform. Wordex is designed to screen for multiple dyslexia subtypes and provide targeted interventions through engaging, interactive, and personalized learning activities. The platform features an integrated machine learning-based screening system that analyzes user interactions and performance metrics to assess the risk of dyslexia. Upon identification, the platform delivers tailored remedial exercises that align with national school curricula, aiming to strengthen specific cognitive and linguistic skills. Wordex is developed using a modern technology stack including Spring Boot, Flutter, Python libraries, Firebase, and MongoDB, and incorporates capabilities such as image processing, supervised learning algorithms, real-time progress tracking, and cloud-based data management. A user-centered design approach and iterative testing cycles were employed to ensure the platform is accessible, intuitive, and pedagogically effective. Wordex contributes significantly to the field of educational technology by offering a scalable, research-informed intervention tool. Future enhancements include multilingual support, broader age group coverage, and integration with classroom learning environments.Item Embargo MindBridge: Early Identification of Learning Difficulties in Children as a Supporting Tool for Teachers(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Mapa, N; Deshapriya, M; Premathilake, M; Samarakoon, S; Thelijjagoda, S; Vidanaralage, A.JLearning difficulties in children significantly impede academic success by affecting information processing, mathematical performance, and the learning of proper reading and writing. This paper proposes a Progressive Web Application (PWA) based on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for identifying potential learning barriers. In contrast with standard diagnostic instruments, the proposed system is designed as a prediction tool with the potential for teachers to conduct timely and focused interventions. By automating feature extraction and reducing manual processing, the system overcomes the limitations of existing learning systems and improves early detection accuracy. Preliminary evaluations indicate that the PWA can effectively identify at-risk students and improve intervention methods and overall academic performance. This research contributes to the integration of computational methods and pedagogy, offering a scalable and low-cost solution for helping slow learners overcome their learning challenges.Item Embargo "articulearn": An Integrative, AI-Driven Speech Therapy System for Children With Speech Disorders(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Ranasinghe, K; Zoysa, S.P.D; Annasiwatta, S; Fernando, P; Thelijjagoda, S; Weerathunga, I"ArticuLearn", a personalized speech therapy system for children with speech sound disorders that integrates advanced machine learning techniques and interactive digital tools to provide targeted intervention across four key domains: phonological disorder detection, fluency disorder identification and intervention, therapy for childhood apraxia of speech, and personalized speech activity filtering for articulation disorders. By leveraging dedicated LSTM-based classifiers and feature extraction techniques such as Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs), this approach automatically identifies specific error types, including phoneme substitutions, omissions, and vowel mispronunciations. In addition, a hierarchical deep learning framework employing attention mechanisms and dynamic time warping is applied to quantify motor planning deficits associated with childhood apraxia of speech, while a reinforcement learning agent adapts therapy prompts based on individual performance. Data were collected from eight children per disorder category along with a normative sample of twenty typically developing children, providing a basis for personalized intervention and progress monitoring. ArticuLearn is designed to complement traditional therapy methods by offering an accessible, scalable solution that supports remote intervention and enhances clinical decision-making. Pilot evaluations suggest that the system can facilitate targeted speech exercises, improve self-monitoring, and foster adaptive learning in young users. This research underscores the potential of combining AI-driven analysis with interactive therapy to transform speech rehabilitation, particularly in resource-limited settings where access to specialized care is challenging.Item Embargo Context-Aware Behavior-Driven Pipeline Generation(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Gunathilaka, P; Senadheera, D; Perara, S; Gunawardana, C; Thelijjagoda, S; Krishara, JEnterprise networks increasingly rely on cloud platforms, remote collaboration tools, and real-time communication, placing high demands on bandwidth availability and responsiveness. Static bandwidth allocation approaches often fail to adapt to dynamic traffic conditions, leading to congestion, inefficiency, and degraded Quality of Service (QoS) for critical services such as VoIP and video conferencing. This research introduces a novel real-time bandwidth allocation system that integrates Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), supervised machine learning, and Linux traffic control (tc). Unlike prior solutions that focus only on classification or simulation, our system actively enforces bandwidth policies based on live predictions. Traffic is captured and analyzed in the WAN, while adaptive policies are deployed in the LAN. A web dashboard offers real-time traffic and bandwidth visibility. The proposed system addresses realworld enterprise challenges by enabling intelligent, responsive bandwidth management without requiring costly infrastructure changes, achieving measurable improvements in latency, throughput, and application-level prioritization
