Item Embargo An Adaptive E-Learning Platform for Individuals with Down Syndrome(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Sandaruwan U.V.S.; Dias A.H.J.S.S; Shamindi H.M.H; Priyawansha N.G.D.; Chandrasiri L.H.S.S; Attanayaka B.Children with Down Syndrome (DS) encounter varying degrees of learning disabilities within the traditional education framework, requiring personalized interventions. This paper presents Blooming Minds, an adaptive, Machine Learning (ML) driven e-learning platform designed to support the development of cognitive, linguistic, and motor skills in children with DS. Built on the VARK (Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, Kinematic) theory, the platform provides personalized activities using real-time feedback mechanisms. The system includes nine interactive modules that cover the above VARK theory. It uses ML algorithms, including Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest (RF) for screening, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for handwriting and speech analysis, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) for sequence prediction, and Reinforcement Learning (RL) for adaptive difficulties. Handwritten letters and voice samples from children with DS, both domestic and international, were specifically considered as inputs for this research. Progress tracking dashboards provide visual insights for educators, parents, and caregivers, improving support and adaptability. The system achieved 91.26% accuracy in letter recognition and 88% in speech classification. This e-learning platform has been recognized as an effective solution in Sri Lanka, allowing for further correlations and investigations to assess the knowledge capacity and ability to express that knowledge in children with DSPublication Open Access FocusBoost – A Study Aid with Adaptive Learning Techniques(SLIIT City UNI, 2025-07-08) Prabaharan, N; Dampalessa, D.R.C.G.K.FocusBoost is an AI-powered adaptive learning platform designed to support children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) through personalized learning experiences.

However, the traditional methods for detecting occupancy of slots in smart vehicle parking areas are no longer feasible due to the high cost of sensors and the need to monitor larger areas. In response to this challenge, the present study aims to propose a cost-effective, fast, and accurate solution for updating and indicating the real-time number of free parking slots in a parking area. Specifically, the proposed solution utilizes video footage from a camera as the input device and applies the YOLO v3 object detection algorithm for image processing to detect the coordinates of both parking lots and parked vehicles separately. To train and evaluate the model, we used the PKLot database as the dataset and tested the model's performance under different weather conditions. The proposed model achieved an average performance of 88.01%, with the highest performance demonstrated on sunny days and the lowest performance recorded on rainy days.Publication Embargo Advancing Canine Health and Care: A Multifaceted Approach using Machine Learning(IEEE, 2023-06-26) Wimukthi, Y; Kottegoda, H; Andaraweera, D; Palihena, P; Fernando, H; Kasthurirathnae, DThis research paper proposes a comprehensive approach to enhance the well-being of dogs through a range of innovative technologies. Firstly, we develop an automated system for dog breed and age identification using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and a transfer learning model. This system aims to provide an efficient and reliable solution for dog owners and new adopters who are interested in discovering more about their canine companions. Secondly, we propose the development of a system that uses Reinforcement Learning to generate personalized meal plans based on a variety of factors such as the dog's breed, age, weight, health status, and emotional state. The system aims to provide dog owners with a reliable and effective tool for generating personalized meal plans that will enhance their pets' overall health and well-being. Thirdly, we present a dog disease recognition application that utilizes an artificial neural network (ANN) for identifying dog diseases based on their symptoms. Lastly, we introduce a real-time remote dog monitoring system using loT devices with edge computing to detect aggressive and anxious sounds. Our system provides an accurate classification of dog sounds related to aggression and anxiety, which can help dog owners detect and respond to potential issues early on. This research aims to provide dog owners and veterinarians with a range of technologies that can help them better understand and care for their furry friends.Publication Embargo An Enhanced Virtual Fitting Room using Deep Neural Networks(2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) Ileperuma, I.C.S.; Gunathilake, H.M.Y.V.; Dilshan, K.P.A.P.; Nishali, S.A.D.S.; Gamage, A.I.; Priyadarshana, Y.H.P.P.As the customer's experience in present fit-on rooms is considered as an essential part of the textile industry, these fit-on rooms play a huge role in the textile shops. It is quite an arduous method and generates problems like long queues, having to change clothes individually, privacy problems and wasting time. The proposed convolutional neural network-based Virtual Fit-on Room helps to prevent the above mentioned problems. This product contains a TV screen, two web cameras, and a PC. It captures the customer's body by using two web cameras and displays the customer's dressed body. The combination of CNN in Deep learning and AR processes the body detection and generates the customer's dressed object. The application uses the stereo vision concept to get body measurements. The system detects customer age, gender, face type, and skin tones which are used to recommend cloth styles to customers. Another requirement of this system is customizing styles according to the customer requirements and suggests different styles of clothes. The system achieved 99% accuracy when suggesting different styles using FFNN. Customers can choose clothes for another person who does not physically appear with the customer in the textile shop. The expected output delivers the most realistic dressed object to the customer which allows the efficient customizations for the textile products according to customer requirements. This product can highly influence the textile and fashion industry. Therefore, this product is suitable to compete with other applications in the industry.Publication Embargo Comprehensive Analysis of Convolutional Neural Network Models for Non-Instructive Load Monitoring(IEEE, 2020-10-20) Herath, G.
