Utilizing Modified Viterbi Algorithm for Religious Text: A Cebuano Part-of-Speech Tagging2024 International Conference on IT Innovation and Knowledge Discovery (ITIKD), (2025), pp. 1-6
Part of speech tagging (POS) is crucial in natural language processing, identifying the grammatical categories of words in sentences. This research highlights the lack of focus on POS tagging for Asian languages, particularly Cebuano. Inadequate research on Cebuano religious text has hindered linguistic documentation and understanding its grammar and vocabulary. This study introduces a Parts-of-Speech Tagging for Cebuano utilizing a Modified Viterbi Algorithm. The researchers also apply a method for handling unfamiliar words. Results indicate that the algorithm performs exceptionally well on a religious text corpus comprising 50,000 datasets, achieving an accuracy of93%,precision of90%, recall of 90. 52%, and an F1-score of92%. These results highlight the algorithm's effectiveness in tackling language challenges within specific genres. Furthermore, the research supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by promoting linguistic diversity and advancing inclusive language technologies. The study also provides valuable insights into Cebuano's linguistic characteristics and grammatical structures, laying a solid foundation for future research in natural language processing.

Text Sentiment Analysis from University Stakeholders feedback: A Comparative Analysis of RNN architectures and Transformer based model2024 International Conference on IT Innovation and Knowledge Discovery (ITIKD), (2025), pp. 1-6
In this study, we use various RNN architectures namely, RNN, Bi-LSTM, and GRU — alongside BERT to analyze sentiment across university departments. Our aim is a comparative analysis of these models in sentiment classification within education. We collected and pre-processed textual data from multiple departments for balanced training and validation. Results showed that traditional RNNs achieved 90% accuracy, Bi-LSTM 93%, and GRU 89%. BERT, leveraging its Transformer architecture, outperformed with 94% accuracy. These findings highlight the superiority of BERT in capturing complex language patterns for sentiment analysis. This study underscores the potential of advanced neural network architectures to gain insights into departmental sentiments, informing policy decisions and educational strategies. Aligning with sustainable development goals in education, we aim to use AI models to develop effective, inclusive, and responsive educational strategies, enhancing quality and accessibility.

A Cebuano Parts-of-Speech(POS) Tagger Using Hidden Markov Model(HMM) Applied to News Text GenreTENCON 2024 - 2024 IEEE Region 10 Conference (TENCON), (2024), pp. 940-943
Part of speech tagging (POS) is crucial in natural language processing, identifying the grammatical categories of words in sentences. This research highlights the lack of focus on POS tagging for Asian languages, particularly Cebuano. Limited research on Cebuano has hindered linguistic documentation and understanding of its grammar and vocabulary. This study introduces a Cebuano POS tagger using the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to improve Cebuano text processing. The researchers also propose a method for handling unfamiliar words. Results show the algorithm performs well on a news text corpus of 25,000 datasets, with an accuracy of 84 %, precision of 80%, recall of 81.52%, and F1-score of 82%. These outcomes demonstrate the algorithm's effectiveness in addressing language challenges in specific genres. Additionally, the research contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by promoting linguistic diversity and fostering inclusive language technologies. The study provides insights into Cebuano's linguistic traits and grammatical structures, offering a foundation for further research in natural language processing.

Analyzing Machine Learning Algorithm Performance in Predicting Student Academic Performance in Data Structures and Algorithms Based on Lifestyles2023 IEEE 15th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management (HNICEM), (2023), pp. 1-4
This research study employed machine learning algorithm in This research study employed a machine learning algorithm in predicting student academic performance in the Data Structures and Algorithm (DSA) course which is based on student lifestyle to analyze the factors that affect the high or low performance result. A total number of 251 Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) students participated in the study where 207 or 82% were male and 44 or 18% were female. A oneshot case study was conducted that led to data collection through the administration of an online survey on former enrollees of the said course. The dataset was extracted with 43 features and was analyzed using Python on Jupyter Notebook. Randomly selected 70% of these, 176 observations, are used to train the classifier models. The remaining 30%, 75 observations, were used as the test data. In order to classify academic performance students, eight machine learning algorithms were applied based on random forest (RF), decision tree (DT), support vector machines (SVM), K-nearest neighbors (KNN), logistic regression (LR), Gaussian Naive Bayes (GNB), stochastic gradient descent (SGD), and perceptron. Although SGD and Perceptron classifier models show comparably low classification performances, both random forest and decision tree classifiers provided the highest metric performance. The study indicated that the lifestyles of students contributed to whether the student performance became high or low in their grade performance.

Data Analysis and Constraint-Based Modeling of Novice C Programming Error Logs: An Input for Developing Intelligent Tutoring System2022 IEEE 14th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management (HNICEM), (2022), pp. 1-6
Computer programming is one of the fundamental skills in the field of computing [1]. In a computing class, students are expected to learn the skills rather than remembering materials only. This study aims to develop a constraint-based student model (CBM) by analyzing the computing students' C compilation error logs. The proposed modified CBM will be used as input to develop a user behavior of an ongoing study for an intelligent tutoring system. The prototype was developed to obtain compilation error logs from the selected students, it contains five (5) C programming questions that focus on assignment statements. The prototype of the study was pilot tested on two (2) online programming classes with a total of thirty-one (31) freshman college students composed of nine (9) BSCS and twenty-two (22) BSIT participants with a mean age of 18.68, where nineteen (19) or 61.3% are males and twelve (12) or 38.7% are females. The study uses convenience sampling to determine the total number of student participants. The dataset was extracted from the prototype and feature identification was performed on one thousand thirteen (1013) C programming logs which resulted to obtain eight (8) error types. The paper of Khodeir, Wanas, & Elazhary (2018) [2] and Karaci (2018) [3] on constraint-based modeling was reviewed to develop a proposed constraint-based model in the context of C programming focusing on assignment statements. By mapping a student error on the suggested constraint relevance (Cr) and constraint satisfaction, the database for constraints was finished (Cs).
