Lexis is an essential part of English vocabulary that puts a good foundation on a child’s English knowledge. In this rapidly globalizing world, it is fundamentally essential to learn English from a young age. In recent years eLearning, mobile applications have been developed for teaching Lexis to children. The market of educational mobile apps, especially for English language learning, has been rapidly growing. Especially in a country like Sri Lanka, English is not the mother tongue, it is the second language. So, when that second language is not taught right the child will lose interest in learning that language. The problem is that the existing lexical learning mobile applications does not aim at keeping the child interested and interactive in the learning process and in Sri Lanka, children find it difficult to understand these lexical parts. As a result, teachers and parents had to spend a lot of time to teach them those lexical parts. We designed and developed a mobile application called “LexisGuru” that uses interactive and effective ways to teach three lexical parts that are homophones, synonyms, and antonyms to children aged between 8–10 in Sri Lanka. This mobile application uses Machine Learning (ML), Image Processing (IP), gamification that includes collaborative environments, and speech recognition techniques. The developed mobile application was introduced to primary level learners, and they were all very attracted and interested while using this application. The attractive user interfaces, the pretests, and posttests, notifying the child when he loses focus while learning, using interesting stories and activities to teach lexis, playing a game with multiple players, and asking questions from the lesson and taking the voice inputs gave a new experience and showed that making the mobile application interactive as possible is an effective way to teach lexis to children.

Smart Intelligent Advisory Agent for Farming Community
(2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) Illandara, T.S.; De Silva, H.L.H.; Madurawala, K.S.H.; Dayasena, B.R.D.; Srimath, U.; Samaratunge Arachchillage, S.; Buddhika, T.
The currently available agricultural services have few limitations because of the traditional cultivation methods and the unavailability of experts. This research attempts to solve the major problems faced by farmers using an Intelligent Expert Advisory Agent (EAA) that would act as a human counterpart to provide reliable solutions in real-time to the farmers using Machine Learning (ML), Image Processing (IP), and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. A web application is developed to provide meaningful information to the user by representing agriculture instructors. Using the web application, the farmer can obtain information about predicted weather up to two months. Once the crop is selected, suitable organic fertilizers are suggested to maximize the productivity of the cultivation. After planting, the farmer can continuously monitor the condition of the plants in real-time using the IoT system. Based on this information, the farmer can check if the conditions are optimum for the growth of the plant by interacting with the knowledge base system. If the plants get infected with diseases, the user can capture an image of the diseased plant using the implemented mobile application and send to the IP system to identify the diseases and suggests remedies to overcome the situation.

Deep Transfer Learning Approach for Facial and Verbal Disease Detection
(2021 3rd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2021-12-09) Manage, D.M.; Alahakoon, A.M.I.S.; Weerathunga, K.; Weeratunga, T.; Lunugalage, D.; De Silva, H.
Millions of people have been subjected to different kind of acute diseases, some of them are eye diseases, facial skin diseases, tongue diseases and voice abnormalities. Most of eye diseases cause fully or partial blindness. Skin and tongue complications can be signs of cancers. Voice abnormalities can be cured at initial stages. Well-practiced medical practitioners have the ability of diagnose these diseases, but due to the pandemic situations and high consultation costs people do not tend to consult doctors. This research is predominantly focused on development of an application for automatic detection of eye, skin, tongue and verbal diseases using transfer learning (TL) based deep learning (DL) approach. Deep learning is a part of machine learning (ML) which has been used in most computer vision approaches. Transfer learning has been used to rebuild the existing convolutional neural network (CNN) models and used in disease detection. DenseNet121, MobileNetV2, RestNet152V2, models have been used to detect eye, skin and tongue diseases respectively and a new model has been used to detect voice abnormalities. CNN models are capable of automatically extracting features from the given images and voice data. All the trained models have been given accuracy rate of 80%-95%.
