    Machine Learning Based Emotion Level Assessment
    (IEEE, 2021-12-09) Wickremesinghe, L; Madanayake, D; Karunasena, A; Samarasinghe, P
    With recent advancements of technology, identification of emotions of humans via facial recognition is done with the application of numerous methods including machine learning and deep learning. In this paper, machine learning techniques are applied for identifying different levels of emotions of individuals for unannotated video clips using Facial Action Coding System. In order to archive the above, first, two methods were experimented to obtain a labeled image data set to train classification models where in the first method, clustering of images was done using Action Units(AU) identified from literature and the emotion levels of the images were determined through the resulted clusters and images are labeled according to the cluster they belonged to. In the second method, the image set is analyzed explicitly to identify AUs contributing to emotions rather than relying on those identified in literature and then the clustering of image set was done using those identified AUs to label the images similar to the first method. The two labeled data sets were used to train classification models with Random Forest, Support Vector Machine and K-Nearest Neighbour algorithms separately.Classification models showed better accuracy with data set produced using the second method. An overall F1 score, accuracy, precision and recall of 87% was obtained for the best classification model which is developed using the Random Forest algorithm to identify levels of emotions. Identifying the AU combinations related to emotions and developing a classification model for identifying levels of emotions are the major contributions of this paper. The results of this research would be especially useful to identify levels of emotions of individuals who are having issues in verbal communication.

    Power Profiling: Assessment of Household Energy Footprints
    (IEEE, 2021-03-06) Wijesinghe, V; Perera, M; Peiris, C; Vidyaratne, P; Nawinna, D. P; Wijekoon, J
    Reduced energy footprint is considered an indicator of efficiency around the world. Having insights into electricity consumption behavior of individuals or families across the day is very useful in efficient management of electricity. In this paper, we present s study that focused on identifying patterns in the monthly electricity consumption profiles of a single household with the K-means clustering algorithm. The data required for this study was collected through a survey in the Sri Lankan context. The survey mainly captured the factors affecting electricity consumption. After proving the demand of electricity is dependable on the data that has been collected, they will be keyed into data models/ profiles that will be built using clustering algorithms. A load profile will be designed using K-means to identify usage patterns of a household on a monthly basis. The parameters that affect the electricity consumption were tested and trained using the SVM algorithm. The outcomes of this study include; identifying the factors contributing to the electricity consumption, identifying electricity consumption patterns, identifying the energy footprint of individuals or families and predicting the future electricity requirements. The results of this study provide many advantages for both consumers and suppliers in efficient management of electricity. It also provides significant impacts in both micro and macro levels through enabling efficient decision-making regarding management of electricity.
