Tagalog as a
Learning Tool for
Artificial Intelligence
For Educators in the Philippines:

2. Introduction:
Tagalog has a unique resource in
today’s world of technology
because it has the use of
Focus/Attention.

3. Attention is presently being in
artificial intelligence for application in
translation written text as a well for
applications in image analysis.

4. A very basic example
of how a computer can
read by means of
attention is presented
and how it ties into
attention in Tagalog.

5. In terms of early learning, a
student may gain an
appreciation of reading in
terms of how computers are
attempting to do what people
are already capable of doing.

6. Most of all, it can allow teachers to
introduce computer science in a way
that encourages language arts skills
plus presents to students that existing
communication skills in Tagalog a
resource for learning about new
technology.

7. How can a computer
read a book?

8. To summarize the state of the art of
technology addressing this technology,
one approach is by finding the key
words in a sentence that give the main
idea of the sentence.
Essentially, the approach is attention
to key words.

9. With word order, a sentence is not
necessarily a sequence of words
where word for word translation
gives the exact meaning of the
sentence.
However, key words can give the
main idea even if the words are not
in a specific sequence.

10. There are languages that
have been in use for ages
where this approach is
already in use in terms of
the construction of a
sentence.
The use of Attention or
Focus is found in Tagalog of
the Philippines as well in
Formosa found in Taiwan.

11. Despite the word order,
the grammatical markers
give the information of the
key words and their
functionality.

12. An example in terms of a
machine reading sentence
could the following made
up sentence:
Caught The Man Fish.

13. With the Focus/Attention
mechanism in Tagalog, a
marker is added which allows
the focus of the subject to be
understood, allowing a
machine to read it as:
The man caught the fish.

14. In summary, the markers found
in Tagalog are way to teach
Attention in Artificial Intelligence.
Tagalog may be a learning tool
for information technology skills.
