Architecting an AI-Integrated Web Information System: Service-Oriented Design Patterns for LLM-Powered Community Extension Management Using Laravel and OpenAI2026 IEEE International Conference on Automatic Control and Intelligent Systems (I2CACIS), (2026), pp. 274-279
Integrating large language model (LLM) APIs in an institutional web information system presents architectural challenges including service isolation, API fault tolerance, secured credential management, and cost-effective model routing. This paper presents service-oriented design patterns for embedding OpenAI GPT services within a Laravel-based system for community extension management, deployed at www.ceso.me. The architecture employs ten functional modules covering the full community extension lifecycle: user management with CSV bulk import and role-based access control (RBAC) across five user roles, activity management with unique entry code generation, content management system (CMS) and certification repository, and AI-powered feedback classification and automated reporting. The AI service layer uses a dual-model routing pattern: GPT-3.5-turbo (avg. latency: 0.8s, cost: P9.11/1K requests) handles dashboard insight synthesis, while GPT-4.1-mini (avg. latency: 1.4s, cost: P36.43/1K requests) performs granular sentiment classification with contextual reasoning, achieving 97% cost reduction compared to full GPT-4 deployment. Fault tolerance is implemented through exception-based fallback classification, achieving 98.7% API success rate with 1.3% graceful degradation during a 30-day observation period. Observed system performance metrics include average page load time of 1.2 seconds, database query time below 50ms, and successful handling of 500 concurrent users in load testing. Evaluation by 38 respondents using the ISO/IEC 25010 quality model yielded weighted mean scores of 4.82 (Functional Suitability), 4.55 (Performance Efficiency), 4.71 (Usability), 4.67 (Maintainability), and 4.75 (Decision Support Effectiveness). The design patterns and architecture presented are intended to be adaptable to institutional web systems seeking to integrate LLM services with production-grade reliability.

SentimentGPT-Driven Community Outreach Assessment: A Comparative Study of GPT-4.1-mini Against Conventional NLP Methods for Real-Time Feedback Classification2026 IEEE International Conference on Automatic Control and Intelligent Systems (I2CACIS), (2026), pp. 268-273
Conventional sentiment analysis methods, which include lexicon-based tools (TextBlob, VADER) and conventional machine learning classifiers (Naive Bayes, SVM), show limited effectiveness when applied to community outreach feedback because of their inability to interpret sarcasm, mixed emotions, and context-dependent language. This paper presents a comparative evaluation of OpenAI’s GPT-4.1-mini model versus four baseline methods for sentiment classification of community extension service feedback, integrated in a real-time web-based information system. A benchmark experimentation using 100 manually labeled community feedback entries on three sentiment classes (positive, neutral, negative) indicates that the proposed GPT-4.1-mini approach achieves 91.0% overall accuracy with an F1-score of 92.4%, outperforming TextBlob (62.5% accuracy), VADER (68.3%), Naive Bayes (74.8%), and SVM (78.2%) across all evaluated methods. The information system implements a dual-model architecture—GPT-3.5-turbo for dashboard insight synthesis and GPT-4.1-mini for granular feedback classification using an engineered prompt design which applies structured JSON output at a temperature of 0.3 for classification consistency. Cost-performance analysis reveals that the GPT-4.1-mini approach processes 1000 feedback entries at approximately ₱36.43 with an average latency of 1.4 seconds per request, achieving a 97% cost reduction compared to full GPT-4 with comparable accuracy. System evaluation by 38 respondents using the ISO/IEC 25010 software product quality model achieved weighted mean scores of 4.82 (Functional Suitability), 4.55 (Performance Efficiency), 4.71 (Usability), 4.67 (Maintainability), and 4.75 (Decision Support Effectiveness). The CESO staff indicator "Sentiment recommendations improve activities" has a perfect 5.00 score, confirming the practical impact of AI-driven sentiment analysis for institutional community engagement.

Predicting Generation Z Green Vehicle Purchase Intention Using Machine Learning Approaches2026 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Computer, Data Sciences and Applications (ACDSA), (2026), pp. 1-6
This paper explores the prediction of Filipino consumers' purchase intention regarding electric vehicles (EVs) as a green vehicle to support sustainable transportation alternative in the Philippines. Despite the growing awareness and government initiatives, EV purchase intention and adoption studies remain limited among Generation Z as consumer group. To address this gap, the study collected data from 479 Filipino generation Z commuters in the National Capital Region (NCR), Philippines, analyzed using different machine learning techniques, namely, Decision Trees, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, XGBoost, K-Nearest Neighbors, and Support Vector Machine. Findings suggest that Green Perceived Value (GPV) emerged as the most important factor green vehicle purchase intention. Meantime, among the machine learning techniques, XGBoost performs best with a predictive accuracy of 87%. Researhch and practical implications are discussed.
