Item Dengue mosquito larvae identification using digital images(Department of Industrial Management, Faculty of Science, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2020) De Silva, W.D.M.; Jayalal, S.Dengue is one of the highest spreading mosquitoborne diseases in tropical and subtropical regions all over the world. This disease is mainly spread by the mosquito vector called ‘Aedes’. In Sri Lanka, the number of infected patients reported is increasing, and it has become a public health problem. Health Inspectors are using different methods to reduce the spread of this viral disease and one of the main methods used is the fumigation by identifying the Aedes Larvae breeding locations. Currently, this identification is done manually by the specialized health inspectors and it is totally observer-biased and consumes a considerable amount of time, which could lead to false decision making and inefficient identification. The purpose of this research is to build an automated computational model to identify Aedes Larvae in real-time with more accuracy and convenience. Even though there are good results in previous researches done in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) on Aedes Larvae identification, the method of capturing Larvae Images is a bit complicated since they have used a Microscope lens of amplification capacity 60-100 times to get the magnified images. In this research, we propose the method of identifying Aedes mosquito larvae with a digital amplification of 8-12 times without using any microscope lenses attached, using ResNet50 CNN. The proposed model will identity the mosquito larvae by their genus ‘Aedes’ or ‘non- Aedes’ using a digital photo taken by a smartphone or camera in the upside of the larvae body. Hence it would help Health Inspectors, even the general public on identifying Aedes Larvae more efficiently, accurately and conveniently than the traditional method. This study shows that the trained model can identify images of Aedes and Non-Aedes Larvae separately with an accuracy of 86.65%. Furthermore, with using pre-processing techniques, the accuracy level can be enhanced to 98.76% for magnified images.Item Grammatical error detection and correction model for Sinhala language sentences(Department of Industrial Management, Faculty of Science, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2020) Pabasara, H.M.U.; Jayalal, S.As the national language of Sri Lanka, the greater part of the exercises at most of all the services are completed in Sinhala whereas it is imperative to guarantee the spelling and syntactic accuracy to convey the ideal significance from the perspective of automated materials with the unavailability of resources even though there are enough amount of available materials as hard copy and books. With the high multifaceted nature of the language, it sets aside extensive effort to physically edit the substance of a composed setting. The necessity to overcome this problem has risen numerous years back. But with the complexity of grammar rules in morphologically lavish Sinhala language, the accuracy of the grammar checkers developed so far has been contrastingly lower and thus, to overcome the issue a novel hybrid approach has been introduced. Spell checked Sinhala active sentences being pre-processed, separated nouns and verbs were analyzed with the help of a resourceful part-of- speech-tagger and a morphological analyzer and alongside the sentences were sent through a pattern recognition mechanism to identify its sentence pattern. Then a decision tree-based algorithm has been used to evaluate the verb with the “subject” and output feedback about the correctness of the sentence. To train this decision tree, a dataset consisting of 800 records which included information about 25 predefined grammar rules in Sinhala was used. Finally, the error correction was provided using a machine learning algorithm-based sentence guessing model for the three possible tenses. Conducted research results paved the way to identify the sentence pattern, grammar rules and finally, suggest corrections for identified incorrect grammatical sentences with an acceptable accuracy rate of 88.6 percent which concluded that the proposed hybrid approach was an accurate approach for detecting and correcting grammatical mistakes in Sinhala text.
