It is growingly perceived as a business enabler and a strategic weapon. Universities implement ICT in a wide range in order to achieve the mission and objectives related to education. As we construct the linking between ICT, business and education strategy, one emerging ICT strategy is the enterprise architecture (EA). EA is defined as a set of concepts and practices based on holistic systems thinking, principles of shared language, and the long-standing disciplines of engineering and architecture. The open group architecture framework (TOGAF) is the specifically identified EA. TOGAF is chosen because it is an extensive and suitable framework for multiple enterprises. As a viable example, the study has chosen the Information Technology Services (ITS) Office of DLSU as its test bed, an office that is challenged to unify its business and ICT processes. Application development method (ADM) is the identified TO...

There are various efforts made towards advancement of spell checkers on other languages such as in English that has almost perfected spell checking system (e.g. Microsoft Word). However, few efforts were made to develop an efficient Filipino spell checker. One major challenge of existing Filipino spell checkers, being dictionary-based, is the lack of a complete dictionary to capture all inflected forms (e.g. isinasama ‘including’, isasama ‘will be included’, and isinama ‘included’ with the base form sama ‘include’), borrowing (e.g. magtex ‘to text’ and nagtex ‘texted’), and code-switching (e.g. magtext ‘to text’, and nag-text ‘texted’ with the base form ‘text’) of a word. In addition, existing systems cannot handle code-switching wherein valid words are being marked as erroneous. In this research, a spell checking is designed for Filipino-low-resourced morphologically rich language. It detects and corrects typographical errors in the language and introduces a modified version of metaphone algorithm for ranking the candidate suggestions. The system results to 81% recall, 53.64% precision, 64.53% f-measure, and 87.78% suggestion adequacy on 100 sentences taken from exercise documents of Filipino students.

The checker uses hybrid n-grams generated from n-grams of words, part-of-speech tags, and lemmas of grammatically-correct texts. It covers a variety of error types including those unique in Filipino: wrong word form, and incorrectly merged / unmerged words. The grammar checker performed 64% accuracy on producing the correct suggestions on erroneous phrases and 85% on error-free texts when using Part-of-Speech (POS) tags from a Hybrid POS tagger (HPOST) for Filipino. Recommendations to improve Gramatika is to implement linguistic tools such as constituency parser, incorrect affix detection system, and a spell checker for the Filipino language.

Current investigated maternal health records that exist in hospitals are written in a long and detailed paragraphs in text documents. Information extraction processes unstructured, natural language text, such as maternal health records, to extract useful information from the text. MaMIE (Maternal Medical Information Extraction) System is designed to extract information from medical narratives obtained from De La Salle University Medical Center (DLSUMC) in Dasmarinas, Cavite. MaMIE System is composed of seven modules namely Text Zoner, Sentence Splitter, POS Tagger, Named-Entity Recognizer, Preparser, Coreferencer and Semantic Interpreter. An Obstetric Gynecologist from DLSUMC defined the fields of the template. The system was tested over 12 documents with the results of 87.39% Precision, 86.74% Recall and 87.06% Fmeasure.

These grammar rules are derived from grammatically-correct and tagged texts which are made up of part-of-speech (POS) tags, lemmas, and surface words sequences. Due to the structure of the rules used by this system, it presents an opportunity to have an unsupervised grammar checker for Filipino when coupled with existing POS taggers and morphological analyzers. The approach is also customized to cover different error types present in the Filipino language. The system achieved 82% accuracy when tested on checking erroneous and error-free texts.

Data are in the form of crowd-sourced visual map reports of flooding in nababaha.com. These are gathered and automatically converted into sentences that are then broadcasted through Twitter. Template-based approach of Natural Language Generation (NLG) is used to transform the computer data into understandable texts and sentences. The generated texts are evaluated according to its effectiveness and understandability through a survey to measure fluency, accuracy of conveying desired meaning to the respondent, and how well the readers will respond to the generated text (task-based evaluation). From a scale of 1-5, results from 35 respondents show an average rating of 3.85 for accuracy, 3.875 for task-based evaluation, and 4.045 for fluency.

However, the transition between Tagalog to the progressing Filipino language left tools and resources behind. This paper introduces a Statistical Machine Translation Part-of-Speech (POS) Tagger for Filipino (SMTPOST), with the purpose of reviving, updating and widening the scope of technologies in the POS` tagging domain, catering to the changes made by the Filipino language. Resources built are comprised mainly of a tagset (218 tags), parallel corpus (2,668 sentences), affix rules (59 rules) and word-tag dictionary (309 entries). SMTPOST was tested to different tagsets and domains, producing 84.75% as its highest accuracy score, at least 3.75% increase from the available Tagalog POS taggers. Despite SMTPOST’s utilization of Filipino resources and good performance, there are room for improvements and opportunities. Recommendations include a better feature extractor (preferably a morphologi...

A total of 8,000 sentences of student translation exercises were collected and analyzed using manual and computational means. A total of 1,413 errors surfaced that were categorized into eight error types namely: use of ligatures, spelling error, use of enclitics, translation errors, hyphenation, use of function words “nang” and “ng”, morphophonemic errors, and word repetition. The study concludes that the top 3 common errors are the use of ligatures such as “na”, /-ng/ and /-g/ (46.6%), spelling errors such as incorrectly merging of different words (19.5%), and use of enclitics such as “daw” and “raw” (16.1%). For future works, theoretical framework will be considered when analyzing the errors.

In this study, we explore the value of Archon Fung's (2006) "democracy cube" as a framework for qualitatively examining the process we undertook for planning a community-based IT strategy. Our planning process involved consultations with multiple stakeholder groups across five different communities, as well as from other entities involved in disaster management, with the aim of surfacing factors that shaped local communities' abilities to participate in disaster management activities. These factors, drawn from qualitative interviews and categorized using a SWOT framework, were subsequently translated into an IT strategy. In this paper, we revisit this process and examine it using Fung's (2006) three dimensions of democratic participation as a lens: participant selection (our use of multiple stakeholder groups); communication and decision (our consultation process); and authority and power (how participant input drove our strategy). We use the framework to identify the specific practices that made IT planning participative, as well as those that made it nonparticipative. We also use our empirical data to explore ways that the framework can be enhanced.

The LFG-based English-Filipino Translator (L.E.F.T.) allows users to translate documents written in English to Filipino and vice-versa. It uses rule-based methods which parses a text, usually creating an intermediary, symbolic representation, from which the text in the target language is generated. This method requires extensive lexicons with morphologic, syntactic, and semantic information, and large sets of rules. The LFG is a technique in Natural Language Processing that aims to make a representation that can handle a language's syntactic, lexical, morphological, and semantic information. By using LFG and a very modular approach in creating the architecture, the system should be able to harness the descriptive capabilities of LFG and at the same time be flexible enough to handle changes.

The e-Legislation system uses an e-Participation framework of having both topdown (or government providing information to citizenry) and ground-up empowerment (or citizens participation). The Language Technologies employed manage the information obfuscated in unstructured text coming from both directions mainly for the purpose of policy-making. The top-down component utilizes a conventional Document Management System augmented with Information Extraction that allows for better and almost instantaneous management of information from uploaded documents. The ground-up component uses an online forum scheme and augmented with Automatic Opinion Classification and Clustering. Both e-Participation framework components (top-down and ground-up) are integrated in a single portal. This paper focuses on the technical issues of the language technologies used: information extraction and opinion classification with data clustering. Preliminary testing and results are discussed to which the information extraction performed 95.42% accuracy while the opinion organization consisting of the detection, classification and clustering modules have accuracy rates of 50%, 50.5% and 53.85%, respectively.
