**Algorithm**: Gradient Boosting (XGBRegressor)

**Input Features**:
- Month of year
- Exam season indicator (May, August, December)
- District identifier (encoded)

**Methodology**:

```
1. Feature Engineering
   ├─ Temporal: Extract month, flag exam seasons
   ├─ Geographic: One-hot encode districts
   └─ Velocity: Calculate seminar frequency by district

2. Model Training
   ├─ Algorithm: XGBoost (100 estimators)
   ├─ Target: "Number of Students Participated"
   └─ Validation: Automatic via training set

3. Prediction Pipeline
   ├─ Next month forecasting
   ├─ Estimated seminars per district
   ├─ Student count prediction
   └─ Material requirement calculation (15% buffer)

4. Output Metrics
   ├─ Predicted student count
   ├─ Estimated number of seminars
   └─ Paper sheets needed (with 15% overhead)
```

**Sample Forecasts**:
| District | Students | Seminars | Paper Sheets |

### 3.2 AI Model #2: Volunteer Risk Assessment (Tiered Classification)

**Purpose**: Identify at-risk volunteers based on inactivity patterns

**Methodology**:

```
Risk Stratification Model
────────────────────────────

Input: Volunteer activity history (last 90 days)

┌─────────────────────────────┐
│  Calculate Inactivity Days  │
│  (Current Date - Last Active)
└──────────┬──────────────────┘
           │
     ┌─────┴──────┬──────────┬──────────┐
     ▼            ▼          ▼          ▼
   ≤30 days    31-50 days  51-70 days  >70 days
     │            │          │          │
     ▼            ▼          ▼          ▼
   Active    Moderate       High     Critical
  (Green)    (Yellow)    (Orange)     (Red)
```

**Risk Categories**:

| Risk Level | Days Inactive | Threshold | Action |
|------------|---------------|-----------|--------|
| **Critical** | > 70 days | 🔴 Red | Immediate re-engagement needed |
| **High** | 51-70 days | 🟠 Orange | Urgent contact required |
| **Moderate** | 31-50 days | 🟡 Yellow | Monitor & follow-up |
| **Active** | ≤ 30 days | 🟢 Green | Engaged & participating |

**Risk Computation Algorithm**:

```python
For each volunteer in last 90 days:
    1. Extract all participation dates
    2. Calculate days since last activity
    3. Assign risk tier based on inactivity threshold
    4. Sort by severity (descending inactivity)
    5. Return top 10 per risk level
    
Risk Distribution Output:
├─ Up to 10 Critical cases
├─ Up to 10 High cases
└─ Up to 10 Moderate cases
```

**Sample Risk Assessment**:

```

────────────────────────────────────────────
🔴 CRITICAL (>70 days) - 5 volunteers
   ├─ Rajah Perera      [Last: 2025-07-12] 187 days
   ├─ Mohan Silva       [Last: 2025-08-05] 163 days

   ├─ Kamal Gunawardene [Last: 2025-09-01] 136 days
   └─ Amara Jayasekera  [Last: 2025-09-10] 127 days

🟠 HIGH (51-70 days) - 8 volunteers
   ├─ Vikram Reddy      [Last: 2025-10-08]  69 days
   ├─ Deepa Patel       [Last: 2025-10-12]  65 days
   └─ (6 others)

🟡 MODERATE (31-50 days) - 12 volunteers

### 3.3 AI Model #3: Network Demand Propagation

**Purpose**: Identify high-demand schools using network centrality analysis

**Algorithm**: Graph-based Network Analysis (NetworkX)

**Methodology**:

```
Knowledge Graph Construction
──────────────────────────────

Data Input: Seminars + Volunteer participation

for each seminar:
    school_node = add_school(seminar.school_name)
    for volunteer in seminar.volunteers:
        volunteer_node = add_volunteer(volunteer.name)
        create_edge(school_node, volunteer_node)

Result: Bipartite graph with schools & volunteers
```

**Network Analysis**:

```
                Volunteer A
                    |
        ┌───────────┼───────────┐
        |           |           |
    School X    School Y    School Z
        |           |
    Volunteer B  Volunteer C
        |
    School W

Centrality Scores:
─ School X: degree=2, centrality=0.45 → High demand
─ School Y: degree=1, centrality=0.30 → Medium demand
─ School Z: degree=1, centrality=0.25 → Low demand
```

**Demand Score Calculation**:

```
For each school:
    neighbors = all connected volunteers
    demand_score = mean(volunteer_centrality) × 1000
    
Filter: demand_score ≥ 3.0 (threshold)
Sort: Descending demand_score
Output: Top schools requiring attention
```

**High-Demand Schools Identified**:
- Schools with multiple volunteer connections
- Schools acting as hubs in the network
- Schools requiring increased seminar frequency
- Geographic clusters with high interaction
