    Eco-friendly mix design of slag-ash-based geopolymer concrete using explainable deep learning
    (Elsevier, 2024-09) Ranasinghe, R.S.S.; Kulasooriya, W.K.V.J.B.; Perera, U S; Ekanayake, I.U.; Meddage, D.P.P.; Mohotti, D; Rathanayake, U
    Geopolymer concrete is a sustainable and eco-friendly substitute for traditional OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement) based concrete, as it reduces greenhouse gas emissions. With various supplementary cementitious materials, the compressive strength of geopolymer concrete should be accurately predicted. Recent studies have applied deep learning techniques to predict the compressive strength of geopolymer concrete yet its hidden decision-making criteria diminish the end-users’ trust in predictions. To bridge this gap, the authors first developed three deep learning models: an artificial neural network (ANN), a deep neural network (DNN), and a 1D convolution neural network (CNN) to predict the compressive strength of slag ash-based geopolymer concrete. The performance indices for accuracy revealed that the DNN model outperforms the other two models. Subsequently, Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) were used to explain the best-performed deep learning model, DNN, and its compressive strength predictions. SHAP exhibited how the importance of each feature and its relationship contributes to the compressive strength prediction of the DNN model. Finally, the authors developed a novel DNN-based open-source software interface to predict the mix design proportions for a given target compressive strength (using inverse modeling technique) for slag ash-based geopolymer concrete. Additionally, the software calculates the Global Warming Potential (kg CO2 equivalent) for each mix design to select the mix designs with low greenhouse emissions.

    Uncovering stress fields and defects distributions in graphene using deep neural networks
    (Springer, Cham, 2023-05-19) Dewapriya, M. A. N.; Rajapakse, R. K. N. D.; Dias, W. P. S.
    Deep learning provides a new route for developing computationally efficient predictive models for some complex engineering problems by eliminating the need for establishing exact governing equations. In this work, we used conditional generative adversarial networks (cGANs) to identify defects in graphene samples and to predict the complex stress fields created by two interacting defective regions in graphene. The required data for developing deep learning models was obtained from molecular dynamics simulations, where the numerical results of the simulations were transformed into image-based data. Our results demonstrate that the neural nets can accurately predict some complex features of the interacting stress fields. Subsequently, we used cGANs to predict defect distributions; this revealed that a cGAN could predict the existence of a crack even though it had never seen a cracked sample during the training stage. This observation clearly demonstrates the remarkable generalizability of cGANs beyond the training samples, suggesting that deep learning can be a powerful tool for solving advanced nanoengineering problems.

    E-Learning Education System For Children With Down Syndrome
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2022-09-16) Sampath, A.S.T; Vidanapathirana, M.W.; Gunawardana, T.B.A; Sandeepani, P.W.H.; Chandrasiri, L.H.S.S; Attanayaka, B
    The World Health Organization assesses that Down Syndrome (DS) affects about 1 in 1000 births worldwide. Children with DS cannot learn, as usual, instigating numerous inadequacies that lead to formative issues such as trouble encoding information and low intelligence to interpret data for decision-making. As a superior technique for these kids' intercom-municating and logical intellect, free-hand sketch drawing, Voice training, and word prediction activities can be success-fully utilized. As the best way to express the mindset of such chil-dren, introducing an E-Learning system makes a friendlier ac-tivity than learning about the past. Because of the improvement of Artificial intelligence and its encouragement, E-Learning-re-lated exploration and applications are moving at an enormous advancement rate. The main objective of this project is to de-velop a reliable and efficient approach to predicting the devel-opment of DS children. Classifying and identifying those hand-written images and voice samples and those samples are given by children with DS compared to the teacher through the construction of a model structure. This research project specially considered local down syndrome children's hand-drawn images, voice samples, letters, numbers, and words as the input. As a result, it gives accuracy and similarity with the teacher's sam-ples and relates parts in the down syndrome children's samples. The system uses artificial intelligence technologies. Through that, the knowledge capacity of the DS children and their con-veyed articulation of that knowledge can be assessed for additional correlations and investigation.

    Intelligent Violence Video Detection System
    (2021 3rd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2021-12-09) Jayasanka, H.K.B.; Jayasanka, B.M.R.D.; Diyunuge, K.D.C.D.R.; Jayasekara, T.H.D.Y.M.; Lunugalage, D.; Samaratunge, U.S.S.
    Due to the busy and stressful lifestyle, humans tend to feel frustrated frequently. This harmful emotional behavior results in violations of several rules, regulations and legislation. Violence is one of the serious issues which emerges due to this situation. It also results in uncontrollable human behavior. This behavior can either be verbal arguments or even physical conflicts. A trend of recording and publishing videos related to these kinds of violations in various platforms can be observed widely at present. Therefore, the terms and conditions of these platforms are subjected to frequent changes. Difficulty in identifying and controlling of violent events will result in an increase of such cases. Due to these reasons, the demand for violence detection systems will be significantly increased. Efficient violent detection systems are lacking currently. But, the usage of artificial intelligence in these systems are further limited. Four major components have been used to achieve this goal. They are video-based, embedded audio-based, abused textbased and thumbnail-based violence detection. The machine learning and image processing techniques are used along with these components to improve the clarity of violence detection.
