MSEUF

Faculty members and alumni of the College of Computing and Multimedia Studies (CCMS) of Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation (MSEUF) presented four research papers at the 3rd International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Computer, Data Sciences and Applications (ACDSA 2026), held at Boracay Island, Philippines, to advance innovation in artificial intelligence, multimedia computing and environmental monitoring, Feb. 6-7.

Engr. Roselyn Maaño and Asst. Prof. John Rover Sinag presented Real-Time Human Gaze and Head Pose Detection and Recognition Using Mediapipe, co-authored with Computer Science alumni Sean Andrei Marasigan and Francis Richard Alba.

Assoc. Prof. Donabell Hernandez presented MicroPolluScan: A Deep Learning-Based Monitoring System for Classification of Microplastic Contamination in Fishponds, co-authored with Computer Science alumni Althea Mae Abling, Trisha Mae Pineda and Luis Angelo Valerio, along with Engr. Maaño, Asst. Prof. Sinag and College of Arts and Sciences faculty member Pedro Jose De Castro.

Sinag also presented A Multimodal Computational Aesthetics Analysis of Audio-Visual Features and Audience Reception in BINI's Music Videos, co-authored with Psychology instructor Janela Reis Babaran-Sinag, highlighting interdisciplinary collaboration between multimedia computing and psychology.

In addition, Asst. Prof. Sinag and Entertainment and Multimedia Computing alumnae Francess Faye Clar De Jesus and Cheska Joy Atienza presented Evaluating a Stylized 3D Animation Pipeline for Educational Multimedia Applications, which examined the effectiveness of animation workflows in enhancing learning materials.

The conference adopted a hybrid format, allowing Enverga researchers to present remotely. Organizers expect the presented studies to appear in IEEE Xplore, a Scopus-indexed digital library, in the coming months.

CCMS Dean Rodrigo Belleza Jr. commended the faculty and alumni for representing the University in an international research platform. “Their work demonstrated the strength of our research culture and our commitment to producing globally competitive outputs,” Belleza said.

The participation reflected the University’s core values of Excellence and Fortitude by showcasing high-impact research in international forums. It also supported transformative and outcomes-oriented education by promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation aligned with global standards.
