Publication Corner | Another interesting publication from the faculties of the College of Computing and Multimedia Studies, with the lead researcher Edgar Bryan B. Nicart and co-authors Bryan R. Arellano and Marc Lester Acunin focusing on e-Tourism. This was published in the International Journal of Technology, vol. 15, Issue No. 3 this May 2024, which is an internally funded research project of the CNSC. The journal is indexed in SCOPUS and ESCI Thomson Reuters with a Q1 metrics and acceptance rate of only 20.99%.

The study focused on tourism, which is an important sector, serving as an avenue to show the natural resources of a country and its inhabitants' hospitality. This sector creates several opportunities for building a potential market and enhancing economic activities where tourist spots and activities flourish. Despite the numerous benefits, tourism still requires significant improvement, particularly in the Philippines, where there are abundant and beautiful places. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a recommender system based on users and content collaborative filtering to provide local and foreign tourists with viable information for experience improvement. The investigation focused on improving tourist satisfaction based on three aspects such as preferences, ratings, and reviews that add options for tourist spots, activities/itineraries, destinations, and others. The machine algorithm-based journey assistant (MAJA) was designed as an interface and agent in providing help to tourists. The mean average precision (MAP) and recall were used as evaluation metrics to better understand the ability of MAJA to offer personalized experiences to unique users. The results showed that integration of the system into tourism provided a smart platform for enhancing the tourist experience and destination competitiveness. Consequently, successful implementation of the system is measured by two criteria, namely the degree of tourists' pleasure during trips and the capacity of MAJA to effectively transfer tourism to less popular and less "accessible" sectors.

Publication Corner | Understanding Queen Pineapple Farmers and Bridging Technology, the DOST-funded project from the Institute of Computer Studies project leader Edgar Bryan B. Nicart, and the project team and staff conducted an in-depth exploration of this study.

In the context of developing an AI-based system for pest detection, the researchers conducted an in-depth study on the farmers’ farming techniques and their pest management strategies that would provide baseline data for the development. This study aims to provide insights on the different farming techniques and pest management strategies utilized by farmers for queen pineapple propagation in the province of Camarines Norte. Using a quantitative descriptive method from four large queen pineapple sites in Camarines Norte with N = 200 local farmers as participants in the study, a survey across the different respondents was conducted. Similarly, an intensive literature review was provided along with some first-hand interviews with officials from the Department of Agriculture and other partner agencies. Findings of the study revealed that there are various farming techniques and pest management practices followed by farmers, while issues and concerns were lack of access to information, lack of infrastructure and machines for pre- and post-harvest, and lack of innovative farming and pest management control. Efforts were made to continually fund researchers and materials needed to boost QP production, but the fast dissemination of new knowledge hinders the practice and implementation of new knowledge. It is highly recommended that a mobile-based application with a validated pest and disease library be needed by the farmers, and utilizing new technology enablers such as AI to detect pests and provide proper recommendations could be useful to them.
