  • Hybrid Model Based on Machine Learning for the Prediction of Consumer Credit Delinquency in the Banking Sector of Peru

    Kraenau, Nicole; Silva, Mariano; Castaneda, Pedro (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024-01-01)
    The delinquency rate among clients of banking institutions in Peru has increased exponentially in recent years, due to the lack of early detection of potentially delinquent clients, mainly due to the use of inadequate prediction techniques for the identification of delinquent clients. This causes profitability to be reduced, credit risk to increase and the country's economy to be unstable. Previously, different solutions were generated to prevent non-payment, however these studies were not applied in the Peruvian environment and did not cover the personal and financial variables necessary to improve the detection of delinquent clients. In this work, a delinquency prediction system is proposed using classification algorithms such as logistic regression and Random Forest, with the aim of improving and automating the early detection of delinquent clients and counteracting the increase in delinquency, so that banks can of Peru can reduce their financial losses due to non-payment by delinquent clients, and prevent the granting of consumer loans to clients who have a high probability of delinquency. After validating the performance of the algorithm using key indicators, it was obtained that the results are superior to the compared algorithms, thus showing a precision of 90 percent, a recall of 95 percent and an accuracy of 91 percent.

    Cribillero, Luis F.; Quispe, Jeyson I.; Castañeda, Pedro (Association for Computing Machinery, 2024-03-22)
    In the context of IT incident management, the prioritization and automation of tickets can be a challenge for companies that lack advanced technologies. However, these difficulties can be overcome today by applying machine learning algorithms and techniques that use historical data to train predictive models, which allows for more efficient and effective IT incident management. The article proposes the implementation of a predictive model that uses machine learning to prioritize IT incidents in these companies. The goal of this proposal is to allow small and medium-sized enterprises to prioritize their incidents automatically, using a model that has been previously trained with a supervised multi-label classification algorithm technique to achieve high accuracy. Experimental results show that the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) is 2.79 and a Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 8.21, using the metrics provided by the scikit-learn library. Additionally, the entropy loss approaches a value of 0, suggesting a precise ability of the model to predict real values. Additionally, an average accuracy level of 93.74% was achieved.

    Rantes, Ronnie; Acosta, Piero; Castaneda, Pedro (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024-01-01)
    Small and medium-sized enterprises have always proven to be crucial to national economies, yet many of them fail for a variety of reasons. One of them is selecting an inadequate supplier that does not meet the needs that the company requires to properly perform its core business. Therefore, this project proposes to develop a web application to select the best supplier option for a company. The main objective is to assist in decision making and reduce costs with a web application that implements the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP), based on a series of criteria and priorities chosen by the company itself. After testing the application, the result was a relative score assigned to each alternative, thus identifying the supplier with the highest value as the most optimal choice. Finally, through the measurement of the consistency ratio for each pair matrix developed, it was possible to verify that the solution achieved acceptable results that do not exceed the range of inconsistency.

  • System to Prevent the Development of Dermatological Diseases Generated by Overexposure to UV Radiation during Childhood using Open Weather Map API and IoT Wearables

    Uribe, Rodrigo A.; Santamaria, Pedro A.; Castañeda, Pedro S. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024-01-01)
    Excessive UV exposure during childhood significantly elevates the risk of dermatological issues, such as premature aging and liver spots, compared to exposure during adulthood. Children typically receive a substantially higher UV dose annually compared to adults, with an average of three times the exposure. By the age of 18, a child may have already received a significant portion, ranging from 50% to 80%, of their lifetime solar radiation exposure. During childhood, children are particularly vulnerable to the harmful effects of excessive sun exposure, as this stage of life often entails prolonged periods of direct UV radiation. This dependency on parental decisions regarding sun exposure duration and protective measures underscores a critical issue. Despite the importance of informed decisions, factors such as insufficient understanding of skin types and misconceptions about UV radiation on cloudy days contribute to inadequate prevention measures. To tackle this problem, our project proposes an innovative solution leveraging the Open Weather Map API in conjunction with wearable IoT devices. This system aims to provide real-time updates on UV radiation levels, empowering parents with valuable information to make more informed choices regarding their children's sun protection. Additionally, personalized reminders and advice tailored to the current weather conditions could be integrated into the system.

    Osorio, Jacobo; Figueroa, Marko; Wong, Lenis (Science Publications, 2024-01-01)
    Smartphone addiction has emerged as a growing concern in society, particularly among teenagers, due to its potential negative impact on physical, emotional social well-being. The excessive use of smartphones has consistently shown associations with negative outcomes, highlighting a strong dependence on these devices, which often leads to detrimental effects on mental health, including heightened levels of anxiety, distress, stress depression. This psychological burden can further result in the neglect of daily activities as individuals become increasingly engrossed in seeking pleasure through their smartphones. The aim of this study is to develop a predictive model utilizing machine learning techniques to identify smartphone addiction based on the "Big Five Personality Traits (BFPT)". The model was developed by following five out of the six phases of the "Cross Industry Standard Process for Data Mining (CRISP-DM)" methodology, namely "business understanding," "data understanding," "data preparation," "modeling," and "evaluation." To construct the database, data was collected from a school using the Big Five Inventory (BFI) and the Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS) questionnaires. Subsequently, four algorithms (DT, RF, XGB LG) were employed the correlation between the personality traits and addiction was examined. The analysis revealed a relationship between the traits of neuroticism and conscientiousness with smartphone addiction. The results demonstrated that the RF algorithm achieved an accuracy of 89.7%, a precision of 87.3% the highest AUC value on the ROC curve. These findings highlight the effectiveness of the proposed model in accurately predicting smartphone addiction among adolescents.

  • Framework for the Adaptive Learning of Higher Education Students in Virtual Classes in Peru Using CRISP-DM and Machine Learning

    Bautista, Maryori; Alfaro, Sebastian; Wong, Lenis (Science Publications, 2024-01-01)
    During the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual education played a significant role around the world. In post-pandemic Peru, higher education institutions did not entirely dismiss the online education modality. However, this virtual education system maintains a traditional teaching-learning model, where all students receive the same content material and are expected to learn in the same way; as a result, it has not been effective in meeting the individual needs of students, causing poor performance in many cases. For this reason, a framework is proposed for the adaptive learning of higher education students in virtual classes using the Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining (CRISP-DM) and Machine Learning (ML) methodology in order to recommend individualized learning materials. This framework is made up of four stages: (i) Analysis of student aspects, (ii) Analysis of Learning Methodology (LM), (iii) ML development and (iv) Integration of LM and ML models. (i) evaluates the student-related factors to be considered in adapting their learning content material. (ii) Evaluate which LM is more effective in a virtual environment. In (iii), Four ML algorithms based on the CRISP-DM methodology are implemented. In (iv), The best ML model is integrated with the LM in a virtual class. Two experiments were carried out to compare the traditional teaching methodology (experiment I) and the proposed framework (experiment 2) with a sample of 68 students. The results showed that the framework was more effective in promoting progress and academic performance, obtaining an Improvement Percentage (IP) of 39.72%. This percentage was calculated by subtracting the grade average of the tests taken at the beginning and end of each experiment.

  • AyudaMujer: A Mobile Application for the Treatment of Violence Against Women in Peru

    Mauricio, David; Zeña, Alejandro; Avila, Umer; Castañeda, Pedro; García, Lupe; Maculan, Nelson (Routledge, 2024-01-01)
    Violence against women in Peru is a problem that has a high incidence and is increasing, despite the policies undertaken by past governments and the creation of the Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations in 1996, causing that one in two women have been abused at some point in their lives. However, the treatment of abused women is still insufficient even though there are more Women’s Emergency Centers (WEC) each year, where victims can ask for professional support and treatment quickly and effectively. The chatbot provides an alternative to eliminate the distance between the abused woman and the WEC; therefore, a mobile application called AyudaMujer is proposed that includes a chatbot, news, a map of nearby WECs, and the connection with specialists for the treatment of violence against women. The chatbot identifies, automatically and through a natural dialogue, the type of violence and its level of risk. Additionally, it assigns a specialist to provide personalized professional treatment. The testing of AyudaMujer with 20 abused women from Lima, Peru, shows that the risk of violence is reduced by an average of 19.43% after three weeks of use. The results show that this tool can contribute to the treatment of abused women.

    Namuche, Valerie; Silva, Alexia; Barrientos, Alfredo (International Institute of Informatics and Cybernetics, 2023-01-01)
    The importance of mobile development has significantly grown as technology becomes more accessible, leading to increased interconnectivity in society. To keep pace with evolving trends, businesses and companies allocate development departments to create mobile applications that meet current and ever-changing needs. However, developers often encounter numerous challenges during the software development cycle. One common issue is the conversion of wireframes, which are designed to meet functional requirements and engage customers, into functional GUI code. This manual conversion process can be cumbersome, slow, and error-prone, consuming valuable time that could be spent on developing other functionalities. This paper aims to address this problem by introducing a website that offers an automated alternative to the wireframe-to-graphic user interface transformation process. Leveraging pattern recognition and machine learning techniques, the website streamlines and accelerates the conversion, eliminating the need for manual coding. Furthermore, the paper presents the results of a questionnaire administered to a group of software developers specializing in mobile development. The developers were shown a demo of the website, and their feedback and responses are analyzed and discussed.

  • A Model for Tracking Indicators and Achieving Goals Under an Agile Approach Using Scrum and OKRs

    Gutierrez Navarrete, Giovanni Raul; Martinez Sanchez, Jason Alexander; Barrientos Padilla, Alfredo (International Institute of Informatics and Systemics, IIIS, 2023-01-01)
    Organizations across different industries are gradually transforming their operational approaches toward an agile mindset. This shift is driven by the need and demand in a constantly changing and competitive environment. One of the most well-known and adopted agility frameworks is Scrum, which advocates for activities with incremental value delivery. While Scrum offers a way to streamline team work, it doesn't necessarily guarantee success or ensure that teams are working on what truly matters. This work presents a model that combines Scrum with OKRs (Objectives and Key Results), allowing organizations to define relevant, challenging, and meaningful objectives while also specifying how progress toward these objectives will be measured through Key Results. OKRs contribute to focus and alignment so that teams implementing and working under the Scrum framework can make improvements to products, services, or operations and generate more value. Through validation using expert judgment and a Top Two Box analysis, it was determined that professionals perceive a high level of interest and potential in this proposal. © 2023 CISCI 2023 - Vigesima Segunda Conferencia Iberoamericana en Sistemas, Cibernetica e Informatica, Vigesimo Simposium Iberoamericano en Educacion, Cibernetica e Informatica, SIECI 2023

    Leon, Solis; Joel, Brian; Jara, Di Paola; Giovanni, Renzo; Cornejo, Copaja; Nivaldo, Richard (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023-01-01)
    Attacks on information security and data leaks in telecommunications companies in Peru cause considerable losses both financially and in terms of social reputation. For this reason, response protocols have been implemented to deal with these situations. However, the mere implementation and development of these protocols is not enough to effectively prevent or counter attacks. Therefore, a technological solution is proposed that combines a maturity assessment model for protocols and a reporting system that provides information on the current level and possible improvements that can be applied to the assessed protocols. The project aims to reduce attacks on companies in the telecommunications sector and at the same time enable them to assess the state of their protocols in terms of cybersecurity, giving them greater insight into possible situations that could result from protocol misuse. To validate the project, 4 cybersecurity experts were involved, who have used it for a given period to obtain sufficient information to offer their opinion. At the end of the period of use, a form was sent to them to evaluate the level of satisfaction with the project, using the indicators that were established. The final level of satisfaction obtained was 81.39%, which indicates that the project has been successful according to the evaluation of the security experts.
