    In my childhood years I used to think of a possibility of having a talking robot, like computer assisted driving or living room companion. It was promising when I learned about neural networks, back then computers wasn't that fast enough to process things and it took time for computer to catch up with me perhaps. I had a few collection of video and audio recordings of my family growing up together. I used voice recordings, trim clips to play only the voice that I wanted to hear - that was in high school. And when technology progresses I digitize all of the recordings and put it on a server and let technology process it. I been exploring the creation of digital personalities that mimic human behavior and cognition, authored by AI and with my own curiosity. Of course there are technical foundations needed to develop advanced digital personas, and the integration of ontologies, natural language processing (NLP), and dialogue generation. Ontologies are highlighted for their ro...

  Career Talk March 2 2017, MSU-IIT ECE Week (March 2-5) My good advice to students who wants to go somewhere else, other than the Philippines. Which direction are you going to take after college, or after you become an engineer or a technician? Most people will tell you to go overseas because the truth is there is no opportunity here. But what about your own family, friends that you care, favourite pets and the many places you enjoyed having fun for so many years. Are you just going to leave the place, for what – the money? Of course that is what most of us is up to and that is what we keep on focusing on – money. When we graduate, we accomplish one important goal that is to finish a degree on electronics engineering. There are lots of your seniors who took two licensure exam, one for electronics technician (ECT) and the other for electronics engineer (ECE). Well that’s fine and another good achievement of you if you make it. I urge everyone of you to keep on learning and shari...

I was invited to be a judge for three students projects namely; a Solar-powered Hybrid Vending Machine, Smart Switch, and an Improved Mechanized Ice Cream mixer done by graduating electrical engineering students who participate on Iligan Institute of Technology, Mindanao State University – Innovation Convergence last August 30-31, 2016. The title of the event was 2016 Technnovation with the theme, “Advancing Technopreneurship and Innovation in Mindanao”. In parallel with other session they have these: Cluster 1 Resilient Structures, Disaster Risk Reduction and Management and Environment Cluster 2 Energy and Power Cluster 3 Health, and Pharmaceuticals Cluster 4 Food and Nutrition Cluster 5 Instrumentation and Control I am at Cluster 5 to judge the three projects, this is last August 31, 2016. The first one the Solar-powered Hybrid Vending Machine was very crude but I could understand that the students has to balance their budget with the idea of having an economically and portable v...

I had a technical talk in Iligan Institute of Technology, Mindanao State University last September 22 2016. This was in a gymnasium, the organiser choose that place to accommodate both the professionals, visitors and the students on its 1st JIECEP-IBC Summit 2016. The seminar, “ Implementing a Structured Cabling System ”, is based on ISO/IEC 11801. My plan was to discuss the important issues ignored during the implementation. I have intentionally selected few sections to fit the allotted time.  A Structured Cabling System (SCS) is a method for creating an organized cabling system that can be easily understood by installers, network administrators, and any other technicians that deal with cables. This method works best when you follow the standards. Industralized nations have the standards. Specialist / Engineers who made these standards have extensive experience over this technology. Every 5 to 10 years these standards are reviewed and change when necessary to fit in...
