Dosen Fasilkom UI ciptakan aplikasi untuk tunarungu dan tunawicara

Dosen Fasilkom UI ciptakan aplikasi untuk tunarungu dan tunawicara

Dosen Fasilkom UI ciptakan aplikasi untuk tunarungu dan tunawicara





Dosen Fakultas Ilmu Komputer (Fasilkom) Universitas Indonesia (UI) Dr. Ir. Erdefi Rakun, M.Sc., ((ANTARA/HO: Humas UI))






"Saya berharap apa yang telah lakukan bersama dengan tim dapat bermanfaat bagi para jutaan tunarungu dan tunawicara di Indonesia khususnya"




Dosen Fakultas Ilmu Komputer (Fasilkom) Universitas Indonesia (UI) Dr. Ir. Erdefi Rakun, M.Sc., menciptakan aplikasi mobile 'Text to Gesture SIBI'untuk membantu kelancaran interaksi komunitas tunarungu dan tunawicara di kehidupan sehari-hari.







"Saya berharap apa yang telah lakukan bersama dengan tim dapat bermanfaat bagi para jutaan tunarungu dan tunawicara di Indonesia khususnya," kata Dr. Ir. Erdefi Rakun di Kampus UI Depok, Sabtu.


Erdefi Rakun merancang bersama tim peneliti dari Lab Machine Learning & Computer Vision (MLCV) dan Lab Information Retrival - Natural Language Processing (IR-NLP), aplikasi penerjemah teks menjadi animasi 3D untuk Sistem Isyarat Bahasa Indonesia (SIBI) tersebut kini sudah tersedia di Playstore (Android OS) maupun App Store (iOS).


Aplikasi “Text to Gesture SIBI” dapat diunduh melalui tautan http://cs.ui.ac.id/SIBI.IOS untuk iOS atau http://cs.ui.ac.id/SIBI.Android untuk sistem Android.


Di aplikasi tersebut, pengguna dapat memilih salah satu dari dua pilihan karakter animasi 3D yang tersedia, yakni Andi dan Aini. Andi dan Aini akan membantu pengguna menerjemahkan kalimat yang diinginkan ke SIBI dalam bentuk animasi.


Selain digunakan sebagai penerjemah kalimat bahasa indonesia ke animasi 3D SIBI, aplikasi ini juga dapat digunakan sebagai kamus digital dari semua gerakan yang ada di kamus SIBI, dan juga berguna sebagai alat bantu untuk belajar bagaimana berisyarat SIBI dengan benar.


Terdapat beberapa fitur yang tersedia dalam aplikasi tersebut, yaitu fitur untuk mengatur kecepatan animasi sehingga pengguna bisa mengamati gerakan SIBI sesuai kebutuhannya; fitur zoom in atau zoom out; fitur merotasi model 3D agar gerakan dapat dilihat dari berbagai arah (kiri, kanan, dan depan); dan fitur bantuan sebagai panduan penggunaan aplikasi.


Saat ini, aplikasi “Text to Gesture SIBI” sudah memiliki lebih dari 3000 animasi SIBI dan dapat menerjemahkan lebih dari 300.000 kata dan imbuhan.


Gerakan isyarat SIBI dapat dibagi menjadi isyarat kata yang terdiri dari isyarat pokok, isyarat imbuhan, kata bentukan, dan kata tugas. Selain isyarat kata, SIBI juga memiliki isyarat jari yang terdiri dari alfabet dan bilangan.


Salah satu keunikan dari SIBI adalah adanya isyarat kata berimbuhan yang dibentuk dengan menggabungkan gerakan isyarat imbuhan (awalan, akhiran, partikel) dengan gerakan isyarat kata dasar.


Teknologi yang digunakan untuk mengembangkan aplikasi penerjemah tersebut adalah image processing, pembuatan animasi, Natural Language Processing (NLP), dan mobile application.


Pengembangan aplikasi penerjemah teks ke animasi 3D SIBI ini melibatkan para mahasiswa Fasilkom UI baik dari jenjang Sarjana maupun Magister, yakni Wikan Setiaji, IGM Surya A. Darmana, Sultan Muzahidin, dan Misael Jonathan, serta guru-guru hingga murid Sekolah Luar Biasa (SLB) Santi Rama, SLB Negeri 3 Jakarta, dan SLB Negeri 12 Jakarta.


Tim pengembangan aplikasi ini juga dibantu oleh Arya Sidharta yang membantu menyempurnakan database Gerakan dan Narendra Arief yang menyempurnakan aplikasi mobile. Aplikasi “Text to Gesture SIBI” telah resmi tercatat dalam Hak Kekayaan Intelektual (Haki) Kementerian Hukum dan HAM Republik Indonesia dengan nomor paten IDS000003290-1 pada tahun 2020.


Judul patennya ialah “Metode Pembangkit Isyarat SIBI (Sistem Isyarat Bahasa Indonesia) Dari Teks Kalimat Bahasa Indonesia Pada Gawai”. Pada tahun 2021, karakter Andi juga telah terdaftar dalam Haki dengan nomor pencatatan 000253062, sementara karakter Aini memiliki nomor pencatatan 000253061.

More than 1,000 people have been killed after the deadliest earthquake in decades struck central Morocco, with rescuers digging through rubble in remote mountainous areas to find victims.







Rescuers dug through rubble for survivors in collapsed houses in remote mountain villages of Morocco on Saturday, in the wake of the country's deadliest earthquake for more than six decades, which killed more than 1,000 people.


The quake which struck in Morocco's High Atlas mountains late on Friday night damaged historic buildings in Marrakech - the nearest city to the epicentre - while the most of the fatalities were reported in mountainous areas to the south.


Not since 2004 has the country seen a comparable disaster, when a 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck the port city of Al Hoceima, claiming around 630 lives. Morocco’s worst earthquake of modern times was in 1960 near the western city of Agadir which killed at least 12,000 people.


Many Moroccans spent Friday night on the streets fearful of aftershocks. Health authorities also called on people to donate blood to help victims.


The Interior Ministry said 1,037 people had been killed and another 672 injured by the quake, gauged by the U.S. Geological Survey at a magnitude of 6.8 with an epicentre some 72 km (45 miles) southwest of Marrakech.


In the village of Amizmiz near the epicentre rescue workers picked through rubble with their bare hands. Fallen masonry filled narrow streets. Outside a hospital, around 10 bodies lay covered in blankets as grieving relatives stood nearby.

Most deaths occurred in mountain areas close to the epicenter that were hard to reach, authorities said, and rescue teams were having difficulty accessing the worst affected areas after roads were damaged, Al Aoula reported.


The Royal Moroccan Armed Forces warned residents to pay close attention to follow-up tremors.


“We remind you of the need to exercise caution and take safety measures due to the risk of aftershocks,” the military wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.


The USGS said Friday night’s quake was unusually strong for that part of Morocco.


“Earthquakes of this size in the region are uncommon, but not unexpected. Since 1900, there have been no earthquakes M6 (magnitude 6) and larger within 500 km of this earthquake, and only 9 M5 (magnitude 5) and larger earthquakes,” USGS said.


The US body predicted that “significant damage is likely and the disaster is potentially widespread,” noting that many people in the area reside in structures that are “highly vulnerable to earthquake shaking.”


Al Aoula on Saturday broadcast video of multiple collapsed buildings near the quake’s epicenter and reported that thousands of people had fled their homes after the country’s National Institute of Geophysics warned of aftershocks.


The quake, which hit at around 11 p.m. (2200 GMT), affected a sweep of the High Atlas mountain range. Tremors were felt as far away as Huelva and Jaen in Andalusia in southern Spain.


Street camera footage in Marrakech showed the moment the earth began to shake, as men suddenly looked around and jumped up, and others ran for shelter into an alleyway and then fled as dust and debris tumbled around them.

In Marrakech, where 13 people were confirmed dead, residents spent the night in the open, afraid to go home.


In the heart of its old city, a UNESCO World Heritage site, a mosque minaret had fallen in Jemaa al-Fna Square.


Injured people filtered into Marrakech from the surrounding areas seeking treatment.


State television footage from the Moulay Ibrahim area some 40 km (25 miles) south of Marrakech showed dozens of houses collapsed at the foothills of a mountain, and residents digging graves as groups of women stood in the street.


Montasir Itri, a resident of the village of Asni near the epicentre, said most houses there were damaged.


"Our neighbours are under the rubble and people are working hard to rescue them using available means in the village," he said.




In Marrakech, where rubble had tumbled into the streets, residents described desperate scenes as people fled for safety.


"I still can’t sleep in the house because of the shock and also because the old town is made up of old houses," said Jaouhari Mohamed, an old city resident.


Moroccan state television broadcast images of troops being deployed.


The quake was recorded at a depth of 18.5 km, typically more destructive than deeper quakes of the same magnitude. It was Morocco's deadliest earthquake since 1960 when a quake was estimated to have killed at least 12,000 people, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.


Turkey, where powerful earthquakes in February killed more than 50,000 people, said it was ready to provide support.


Algeria, which broke off ties with Morocco in 2021 over the political status of Western Sahara, said it would open airspace for humanitarian and medical flights.


"The shallow earthquakes are normally more destructive," said Mohammad Kashani, Associate Professor of Structural and Earthquake Engineering at the University of Southampton.


He compared scenes of the aftermath to images from Turkey in February: "The area is full of old and historical buildings, which are mainly masonry. The collapsed reinforced concrete structures that I saw ... were either old or substandard."


Governments around the world expressed solidarity and offered assistance.


Marrakech is due to host the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in early October.

Powerful Magnitude 6.9 Quake Rocks Morocco, Kills Nearly 300 People & Injures Over 150

Powerful Magnitude 6.9 Quake Rocks Morocco, Kills Nearly 300 People & Injures Over 150

Morocco last witnessed a severe earthquake in 2004, when a magnitude 6.3 event killed upwards of 600 people and left over 900 with injuries after hitting Al Hoceima in the country's northeast.







A powerful magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck Morocco late Friday, sending thousands running outdoors to avoid potential building collapses.


Citing Morocco's Interior Ministry, a statement issued by the country's military placed the latest death toll figure at 296. The total accounts for the affected provinces of Al Haouz, Marrakesh and Ouarzazate. Another 153 people were recorded as sustaining injuries.


Preliminary readings issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) indicated the quake struck at about 11:11 p.m. local time at a depth of 10 kilometers. The epicenter was registered some 77 kilometers from Marrakesh near the town of Al Haouz, where local reports detailed some residents were trapped in downed homes.


Two aftershocks measuring at magnitudes of 4.8 and 3.4 were recorded by officials. Footage from the scene showed panicked individuals fleeing their homes for the safety of nearby plazas. Many photos have since surfaced showing buildings turned to rubble and nearby cars crushed by falling structures.


Testimonials obtained by EMSC described the quake as "scary and long" even after aftershocks rattled the region. Another individual wrote that "it was really too much in Marrakesh."


"We felt a very violent tremor, and I realised it was an earthquake," Abdelhak El Amrani, a 33-year-old in Marrakech, told French media by phone.


"I could see buildings moving. We don't necessarily have the reflexes for this type of situation. Then I went outside and there were a lot of people there. People were all in shock and panic. The children were crying and the parents were distraught."


Reports have noted that the quake was felt as far away as coastal cities Rabat, Casablanca and Essaouira, as well as nearby Algeria.


Another Marrakech resident, Brahim Himmi, said he saw ambulances coming out of the old town and many building facades damaged. He said people were frightened and were staying outside in case of another quake.


"The chandelier fell from the ceiling and I ran out. I'm still in the road with my children and we're scared," said Houda Hafsi, 43, in Marrakech.




Another woman there, Dalila Fahem, said there were cracks in her house and damage to her furniture. "Fortunately I hadn't gone to sleep yet," she said.


People in Rabat, about 350 km (220 miles) north of Ighil, and in the coastal town of Imsouane, about 180 km to its west, also fled their homes, fearing a stronger quake, according to Reuters witnesses.


In Casablanca some 250 km north of Ighil, people who spent the night in the streets were too scared to return to their homes.


"The house rocked aggressively, everyone was scared," said resident Mohamed Taqafi. "I thought it was only my house that was moving because it's fragile and old. I heard people screaming, everyone went out of their houses."


Videos shared on social media of the immediate aftermath of the quake, which Reuters could not immediately verify, showed people fearfully running out of a shopping centre, restaurants and apartment buildings and congregating outside.
