    Comparative analysis of the application of Deep Learning techniques for Forex Rate prediction
    (2019 1st International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2019-12-05) Aryal, S.; Nadarajah, D.; Kasthurirathna, D.; Rupasinghe, L.; Jayawardena, C.
    Forecasting the financial time series is an extensive field of study. Even though the econometric models, traditional machine learning models, artificial neural networks and deep learning models have been used to predict the financial time series, deep learning models have been recently employed to do predictions of financial time series. In this paper, three different deep learning models called Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Temporal Convolution Network (TCN) have been used to predict the United States Dollar (USD) to Sri Lankan Rupees (LKR) exchange rate and compared the accuracy of the models. The results indicate the superiority of CNN model over other models. We conclude that CNN based models perform best in financial time series prediction.

    VirtualPT: Virtual Reality based Home Care Physiotherapy Rehabilitation for Elderly
    (2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) Heiyanthuduwa, T.A.; Amarapala, K.W.N.U.; Gunathilaka, K.D.V.B.; Ravindu, K.S.; Wickramarathne, J.; Kasthurirathna, D.
    This paper describes the development of Personal computer based Virtual Reality home-care Physiotherapy system aimed for rehabilitating full body function in elders. VirtualPT is a true virtual reality platform where the environment is completely replaced by a virtual reality platform based on the mental condition of the person at the time. While doing the home-based prescribed physiotherapy exercises, the key health metrics are continuously monitored and tracked by combining the immersive Virtual Reality with the wearable VirtualPT Sensor kit. Virtual Reality combined with 3D motion capture lets real time movements to be accurately translated onto the virtual reality avatar that can be viewed in a virtual environment to assist physiotherapist to add exercises to the system easily. This ultimate virtual reality Physiotherapy assistant avatar is used to provide guidance to elders at home, to demonstrate and assist elders in adhering to the prescribed exercises. As a significant aspect of social interactions, mirroring of movements has been added to focus on whether the elder is able to accurately follow the movements of avatar. Furthermore, the insightful dashboard offers the elders and physiotherapists an interactive platform through virtual reality capabilities. VirtualPT physiotherapy system is cost effective and makes recovery and more convenient to elders at home while the participatory and immersive nature of Virtual Reality offers a unique realistic quality that is not generally existing in clinical-based physiotherapy. When looking at the broader concept of VirtualPT; continuity of care, integration of services, quality of life and access are equally important criteria which add more value.

    Domain Specific Conversational Intelligence: Voice Based E-Channeling System
    (2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) Weerathunga, W.A.H.; Lokugamage, G.N.; Hariharan, V.; Yahampath, A.D.N.H.; Kasthurirathna, D.
    In this research the application of Automatic Speech Recognition, Natural Language Understanding, Neural Networks and Text To Speech Conversion is investigated to create a domain specific end to end voice based E-Channeling system. The novel idea in this research can be extended to any other domain(e.g.: Taxi Application) and build a conversational intelligence system. This system enables the user to avoid the shortcomings in the traditional doctor appointment channeling procedures. The system also have the ability to predict the doctor specialization according to the symptoms of the patient and can give emergency health tips by using the powerful Neural Network module. Domain-specific speech recognition model is created according to Sri Lankan accents and handles the context-specific to this domain(94% accuracy). Extracting the entities, handling e-channeling functions and selecting the most suitable API is done by the RASA backend. Neural Network will give the first aid and doctor specialization recommendations according to user input with a validation accuracy of 90%. Speech synthesis model will output the response in user preferred language(Sinhala, English or Tamil).

    E-Learn Detector: Smart Behaviour MonitoringSystem to Analyze Student Behaviours DuringOnline Educational Activities
    (2021 3rd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2021-12-09) Bamunuge, H.K.T.; Perera, H.M.; Kumarage, S.; Savindri, P.A.P.; Kasthurirathna, D.; Kugathasan, A.
    With the rise of online education more attention is being paid to the deficiencies in online learning platforms. Online Learning environments aim to deliver efficacious instructions, but rarely take providing a conventional classroom experience to the students into consideration. Efficient detection of students’ learning situations can provide information to teachers to help them identify students having trouble in real-time. This idea has been exploited several times for Intelligent Tutoring Systems, but not yet in other types of learning environments that are less structured. “E-Learn Detector is a web application solution to these existing issues in online learning which consists of unique features such as verifying the user during logging procedure and throughout an examination, detecting suspicious behaviors and presence of multiple users during online examinations and detecting low engagement levels of students during online lectures. “E-Learn Detector” is developed with the aim to provide guidance to students to improve their academic performance and behavior during classroom activities and to induce the best out of the educational activities.
