Unicaucanos present research on natural language processing and metaheuristic algorithms.

La Universidad -

Juan David Yip, a Master's student in Computer Science, along with professors Martha Eliana Mendoza and Carlos Alberto Cobos, affiliated with the Systems department, participated with their research paper titled "Shuffled frog-leaping algorithm, fisherman search procedure, and soccer league competition metaheuristics for extractive single-document summarization" during the Sixth Andean Congress of Computing, Informatics, and Education (CACIED 2023).

The Master's student in Computer Science, Juan David Yip, and professors Martha Eliana Mendoza and Carlos Alberto Cobos, affiliated with the Systems department at the University of Cauca, participated in the Sixth Andean Congress of Computing, Informatics, and Education (CACIED 2023) held in Pasto. They presented their research work titled: "Shuffled frog-leaping algorithm, fisherman search procedure, and soccer league competition metaheuristics for extractive single-document summarization."

The researchers' work is related to the area of natural language processing, where the use of methods based on metaheuristic algorithms such as shuffled frog-leaping, fisherman search procedure, or soccer league competition can automatically generate news summaries with quality similar to those produced by expert researchers.

CACIED, which took place from November 8th to 10th in the city of Pasto, is organized by the Universities of Nariño, Mariana University, CESMAG University, National Open and Distance University (UNAD), Colegio Mayor del Cauca, and provides a meeting space for researchers, teachers, professionals, and students from Andean countries to share and socialize their experiences and research in Computer Science, Informatics, and Systems Engineering Education.

Participation in the event facilitated wide dissemination of the results and opened up the possibility of submitting the presented work to a national indexed journal.
