    (researchgate.net, 2022-07) Weerarathna, R; Rathnayake, N; Perera, H; Wickramasena, D; Arambawatta, V; Kaluarachchi, R
    This study explores the expectations of HR professionals in Sri Lanka in terms of their workplaces during the COVID19 pandemic. A qualitative research methodology was employed in this study with 16 semi-structured interviews of HR professionals in Sri Lanka. Results reveal that on-premise and hybrid work cultures are much preferred by HR professionals in Sri Lanka. Further, if the work culture transformation remains, their expectations are high regarding concerns in new work practices at the workplace triggered by the pandemic including worklife balance practices, crisis management practices, financial incentives, career progress and Work from Home (WFH) resources.

    Sinhala to english language translator
    (IEEE, 2008-12-12) De Silva, D; Alahakoon, A; Udayangani, I; Kumara, V; Kolonnage, D; Perera, H; Thelijjagoda, S
    This paper describes a machine translation system that is capable of translating a grammatically correct Sinhala sentence in to its corresponding English sentence. This is the first Sinhala to English machine translation system, which comes with features such as an inbuilt keyboard, an inbuilt dictionary, an integrated word processor based on Unicode fonts, a grammar tool, a Sinhalese grammar checker, an add word tool, and a debugging tool. With the expansion of the world, English has become an important language that people should learn, as the majority of the worldwide population understand and carry out their day-to-day work in English. In addressing this need, we thought of taking up the challenge of building, a Sinhala to English language translator. To build this system, we used the transfer-based machine translation approach, which is a rule-based approach. At present, the system has achieved a success rate of 75% with a corpus of 150 sentences.

    The usage of cash deposit machines: An empirical analysis of identifying determinant factors
    (2020) Jayathilaka, R; Pathiratne, H; Jayanath, C; Perera, H; Wickremasinghe, S; Dharmasena, T
    Banks in Sri Lanka have launched a new generation of machines facilitating cash deposits that are credited instantly to accounts. The purpose of this paper is to identify the factors that influence the customers’ level of cash deposit machines (CDMs) usage. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used to accomplish the purpose of the research. The study used primary data in the form of a structured questionnaire covering the variables of TAM. Correlational analysis was used to demonstrate the constructed hypotheses among the variables, and multiple linear regression was used to measure the impact of customer attitude towards the usage of CDM. Results from the analysis indicated that reliability, perceived ease of use, perceived risk and perceived usefulness were significant factors, whereas the security factor was considered less significant concerning the use of CDMs. The contribution of this research is related to the analysis from a theoretical and empirical perspective of the customer attitude towards the usage of CDM. The practical implications drawn from this study will be useful to bank managers, marketing experts and advertising executives in providing good quality services promoting CDM, whilst developing grievance settlement to build trust among customers, enabling extensive usage.
