Article title: A Flexible Learning Framework Implementing Asynchronous Course Delivery for Philippine Local Colleges and Universities
Authors: Mideth Abisado
Publication title: International Journal of Advanced Trends in Computer Science and Engineering 9(1.3):413-421, June 2020

Abstract:
The Corona Virus 19 (COVID 19) pandemic has brought challenges and opportunities in the world and the Philippine educational system. While there are universities that are doing online learning in the past decades, over 100 local universities and colleges are left with traditional instruction, face-to-face learning sessions. The traditional universities have no choice but to become adaptive to the “new normal” once declared by the World Health Organization. Philippine data on the effect of pandemic suggest that the student populace are prone to carry the virus through interaction and traveling to and from the schools. Classes cannot be delivered in traditional ways anymore, to mitigate the spread of the virus, until a vaccine is available. This paper provides a framework for local universities and colleges in implementing flexible learning procedures. The asynchronous course delivery consists of the design of outcomes-based teaching and learning plan, course materials, scheduled on-line and face-to-face meetings, technology, and center for technology education.

Article title: Towards the Development of Music Mood Classification of Original Pilipino Music (OPM) Songs Based on Audio and Lyrics Keyword
Authors: Mideth Abisado, Mardyon Yongson, Ma.Ian De Los Trinos
Conference title: ICSET 2021: 2021 5th International Conference on E-Society, E-Education and E-Technology

Abstract:
This paper presents music mood classification of Original Pilipino Music (OPM) songs, particularly Filipino songs using audio and lyrics information. The song's mood is expressed utilizing musical features, but a relevant part also seems to be conveyed by the keywords to its lyrics. The study evaluates with the help of two music teachers and music analysts each factor independently. It explores the possibility of combining both, using Natural Language Processing and Music Information Retrieval techniques. It shows that standard separation-based strategies and Latent Semantic Analysis can group the verses essentially superior to random. Yet, the exhibition is still very substandard compared to that of sound-based systems. The study presents a technique dependent on contrasts between language models that gives performances closer to sound-based classifiers—in addition, interwinding this in a multimodal framework, which is audio and text. It permits an improvement in the general execution. We exhibit that verses and sound data are corresponding and can be joined to improve an ordered framework.

Article title: Towards academic affect modeling through experimental hybrid gesture recognition algorithm
Authors: Mideth B. Abisado, Bobby D. Gerardo, Larry A. Vea, Ruji P. Medina
Conference title: The 2018 International Conference

Abstract:
The identification of learner engagement is an important aspect of assessment. Aside from facial expressions, gesture is a key feature in the identification of student engagement. The costly video invigilation during assessment shows the need to find other ways to define student engagement during an online examination. For this purpose, this study proposed gesture modeling to classify and identify affect. The research defines student disengagement affect using head poses as gesture during the online examination. The divide-and-conquer algorithm implementation on object detection using Haar Cascade feature extraction and HMM classification resulted in 78.77% accuracy level to classify disengaged behavior during an online examination. The experimental results show that head-poses when properly modeled can be used to define affect as applied to examination behavior.
