Item Embargo AI-Driven Decision Support System for Sustainable Agarwood Cultivation and Export Readiness(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2026-05-22) Malmali W.S.V.M.O; Jayawardena L.P.G.K.; Rathnamalala R.M.B.I.T.; Kandage T.P.; Weerasinghe, LokeshaAgarwood cultivation and export involve multiple critical decision points that directly affect resin quality, economic value, and market acceptance. In current practice, decisions related to resin induction timing, disease identification, and export readiness are largely based on manual inspection and subjective judgment, leading to inconsistent assessments and avoidable losses. This paper presents an AI-based decision support system to support sustainable agarwood cultivation and export by integrating three analytical components: resin induction stage classification, export readiness and quality assessment, and leaf disease detection with remedy recommendation. A multimodal deep learning approach combining bark images and numerical tree parameters is used for resin induction stage classification, achieving a test accuracy of 93% using an EfficientNetB0 with a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP). Agarwood resin and chip quality grading is performed using an EfficientNetB0-based Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), while export readiness is evaluated using a Random Forest-based numerical model. Leaf disease detection is implemented using a CNN-based classifier, achieving an overall accuracy of 80% across four common agarwood leaf disease classes. Explainability mechanisms, including Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM) and reason based readiness analysis, are incorporated to enhance transparency and user trust. Experimental results indicate that the proposed system reduces subjectivity and supports data-driven decision-making across key stages of the agarwood value chain.Item Embargo HireGenius: Automated Interviewing System for Software Engineers(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2026-08-01) Hewamadduma N.A.; Nalinka G.K; Mahawaththa N.T.M.A.S.M; Rosa S.R.T.L; De Silva D.I.; Gunathilake P.Recruiting the right software engineers is a critical challenge, with traditional manual screening being time-consuming, subjective, and often inconsistent. Recruiters typically rely on Curriculum vitae reviews and interviews, which lack the depth needed for evaluating technical roles. For software engineers, it is essential to assess programming skills, academic performance, and personality traits. To overcome these limitations, this study developed an automated candidate selection and interview system using artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and deep learning. Ensemble learning and artificial intelligence models incorporating natural language processing were used to rank candidates and predict job match percentages. Top-ranked individuals were further evaluated through analysis of GitHub profiles, LinkedIn activity, and academic transcripts using machine learning and natural language processing techniques. Each candidate’s technical skills, experience, and education were assessed to generate accurate shortlists for technical interviews. These shortlisted candidates then participated in an automated interview process powered by advanced natural language processing and deep learning. A gamified human resource interview system was introduced, leveraging a machine learning model and structured scoring criteria to identify the best-fit candidates while streamlining and enhancing the hiring process.Item Embargo Throat AI - An Intelligent System For Detecting Foreign Objects In Lateral Neck X-Ray Images(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Baddewithana, P; Krishara, J; Yapa, KForeign Object ingestion is a commonly encountered medical condition within the Ear, Nose, and Throat clinical domain. Timely and accurate detection of such objects is vital, as it often guides the need for surgical intervention. Among the available imaging techniques, lateral neck X-rays are the most widely used radiographs to visualize and assess the presence of FOs in the throat. However, manual interpretation of these images can be time-consuming and subject to human error, potentially leading to misdiagnosis or delayed treatment. This research presents a deep learning-based software solution, deployable via web and mobile platforms, aimed at assisting medical professionals with the automated detection of FOs in lateral neck X-rays. The system leverages state-of-the-art YOLO object detection models, specifically evaluating novel versions such as YOLO-NAS-s, YOLOv11s, and YOLOv8s-OBB to ensure high detection accuracy and deployment efficiency. The best-performing model, YOLO-NAS-s, achieved a validation accuracy of 96.3%. For deployment, the model was hosted on the Roboflow platform and accessed via a FastAPI-based middleware server. Performance evaluation showed an average inference time of approximately 2 seconds and a memory footprint of around 100 MB on standard computing hardware, demonstrating its suitability for integration into resource-constrained clinical environments. This setup highlights the system's lightweight design and real-world applicability. Training, evaluation, and testing of the deep learning models were conducted using a dataset curated from public local healthcare institutions and online medical imaging repositories.
