One of the main impacts that has a significant and detrimental impact on society is disinformation, where false or misleading information can cause confusion and uncertainty in society. This can lead to misunderstandings and develop into riots in society which can lead to legal problems that are detrimental to society. In order to overcome this problem, a method is needed to detect fake news. This study aims to build a fake news detection method using machine learning, which is a technology widely used by researchers to detect and analyze past data. Various methods have been produced using machine learning, including the K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) method which is proposed as an effective solution to detect fake news. K-NN is a machine learning algorithm that works by classifying text based on its proximity to known data in feature space. This method is proposed because of its ability to handle non-linear data and its low complexity. The application of K-NN can increase the accuracy in detecting fake news by utilizing the characteristics of relevant text, thus helping in efforts to filter information and maintain the integrity of news circulating in the community. In a study conducted using the FakeNewsDetection dataset, the model evaluation results showed that KNN produced a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.011 and a Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 0.077, better than the performance of other methods such as SVM and Neural Network.</p> 2025-01-08T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Hari Murti, Sulastri Sulastri, Dwi Budi Santosa, Dwi Agus Diartono, Kristiawan Nugroho https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14310 Predicting IT Incident Duration using Machine Learning: A Case Study in IT Service Management 2024-12-18T05:10:17+00:00 Resha Meiranadi Caturkusuma reshameiranadi@gmail.com Farrikh Alzami alzami@dsn.dinus.ac.id Aris Nurhindarto arisnurhindarto@dsn.dinus.ac.id MY Teguh Sulistiyono teguh.sulistyono@dsn.dinus.ac.id Candra Irawan candra@dsn.dinus.ac.id Yupie Kusumawati yupie@dsn.dinus.ac.id <p>In the digital era, ensuring customer satisfaction with IT services is crucial for business success. However, the complexity of IT infrastructure makes it difficult to manage services, requiring companies to focus on improving efficiency and reducing operational costs. One of the strategies used is Information Technology Service Management (ITSM), the main component of which is incident management, which aims to minimize service disruptions. While various studies on ITSM exist, research focused on Machine Learning models for predicting incident resolution times is relatively limited. This research aims to develop an incident resolution duration prediction model using a Random Forest Regressor-based regression approach. The dataset used is an event log from the ServiceNow system containing data on 24,918 incidents. The model was evaluated using the Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and R2 metrics, where the model achieved a MAE of 14.33 hours, RMSE of 69.8 hours, and R2 of 0.98. These results show that the model can provide accurate predictions and support better decision-making in IT incident handling. Time-related features, such as sys_update_month and closed_month, proved to be the most influential factors in predicting incident resolution duration.</p> 2025-01-08T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Farrikh Alzami, Resha Meiranadi Caturkusuma, Aris Nurhindarto, MY Teguh Sulistiyono, Candra Irawan, Yupie Kusumawati https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14242 Detection of Plastic Bottle Waste Using YOLO Version 5 Algorithm 2024-11-18T05:27:43+00:00 Jamilatur Rizqil Yasiri jamilaturry@gmail.com Rastri Prathivi vivi@usm.ac.id Susanto susanto@usm.ac.id <p>Plastic bottle waste management has become one of the most pressing environmental issues, especially in countries with high plastic usage rates, such as Indonesia. This research uses the YOLOv5 (You Only Look Once version 5) algorithm to detect plastic bottle waste automatically. The YOLOv5 algorithm was chosen because it has efficient detection performance and high accuracy in small object recognition. The dataset consists of 500 images of plastic bottles obtained through cameras and internet sources. The data is processed through several stages: annotation (bounding box and labeling using Roboflow), split dataset (70% for training, 20% for testing, and 10% for validation), pre-processing (resizing images to 460x460 pixels), and augmentation (adding data variations to improve model performance). Training and evaluation of the YOLOv5 model using the precision metric of 89.8% indicates the ability of the model to accurately identify plastic bottles from the overall prediction, recall of 83.1% indicates the success of the model in detecting the majority of plastic bottles in the test data, and mean average precision (mAP) of 89.2% represents the average precision at various prediction thresholds. Test results on varied bottle image test data obtained detection accuracy between 82%-93%, indicating the model can recognize plastic bottles consistently. Sometimes, this model needs help detecting overlapping picture objects. However, this research proves the potential of the yolov5 algorithm as an automated litter detection solution that will be integrated with a system and support faster and better plastic waste management.</p> 2025-01-08T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Jamilatur Rizqil Yasiri, Rastri Prathivi, Susanto https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14303 Analyzing PEGASUS Model Performance with ROUGE on Indonesian News Summarization 2024-12-10T06:20:46+00:00 Fatih Fauzan Kartamanah fatihfauzan26@gmail.com Aldy Rialdy Atmadja aldyrialdy@uinsgd.ac.id Ichsan Budiman ichsanbudiman@uinsgd.ac.id <p>Text summarization technology has been rapidly advancing, playing a vital role in improving information accessibility and reducing reading time within Natural Language Processing (NLP) research. There are two primary approaches to text summarization: extractive and abstractive. Extractive methods focus on selecting key sentences or phrases directly from the source text, while abstractive summarization generates new sentences that capture the essence of the content. Abstractive summarization, although more flexible, poses greater challenges in maintaining coherence and contextual relevance due to its complexity. This study aims to enhance automated abstractive summarization for Indonesian-language online news articles by employing the PEGASUS (Pre-training with Extracted Gap-sentences Sequences for Abstractive Summarization) model, which leverages an encoder-decoder architecture optimized for summarization tasks. The dataset utilized consists of 193,883 articles from Liputan6, a prominent Indonesian news platform. The model was fine-tuned and evaluated using the Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation (ROUGE) metric, focusing on F-1 scores for ROUGE-1, ROUGE-2, and ROUGE-L. The results demonstrated the model's ability to generate coherent and informative summaries, achieving ROUGE-1, ROUGE-2, and ROUGE-L scores of 0.439, 0.183, and 0.406, respectively. These findings underscore the potential of the PEGASUS model in addressing the challenges of abstractive summarization for low-resource languages like Indonesian language, offering a significant contribution to summarization quality for online news content.</p> 2025-01-06T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Fatih Fauzan Kartamanah, Aldy Rialdy Atmadja, Ichsan Budiman https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14308 Enhanced Semarang Batik Classification using MobileNetV2 and Data Augmentation 2024-12-10T06:24:04+00:00 Emila Khoirunnisa 111202113709@mhs.dinus.ac.id Farrikh Alzami alzami@dsn.dinus.ac.id Ricardus Anggi Pramunendar ricardus.anggi@dsn.dinus.ac.id Rama Aria Megantara aria@dsn.dinus.ac.id Muhammad Naufal m.naufal@dsn.dinus.ac.id Harun Al-Azies harun.alazies@dsn.dinus.ac.id Sri Winarno sri.winarno@dsn.dinus.ac.id <p>Batik, an Indonesian cultural heritage recognized by UNESCO, faces challenges in pattern identification and documentation, particularly for the younger generation. Previous studies on batik classification have shown limitations in handling small datasets and maintaining accuracy with limited computational resources. This research proposes an enhanced classification approach for Semarang Batik motifs using MobileNetV2 architecture combined with strategic data augmentation techniques. The study utilizes a dataset of 3,020 images comprising 10 distinct Semarang Batik motifs, implementing horizontal flipping, rotation, and zoom transformations to address dataset limitations. Our methodology incorporates transfer learning through ImageNet pre-trained weights and custom layer modifications to optimize the MobileNetV2 architecture for batik-specific features. The model achieves 100% accuracy on validation data, with precision, recall, and F1-scores consistently above 0.98 across all classes. The confusion matrix analysis reveals minimal misclassification between similar motif patterns, particularly in the Batik Blekok Warak and Batik Kembang Sepatu classes. This research contributes to cultural heritage preservation by providing an efficient, resource-conscious solution for automated batik pattern recognition, potentially supporting educational and commercial applications in the batik industry.</p> 2025-01-08T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Emila Khoirunnisa, Farrikh Alzami, Ricardus Anggi Pramunendar, Rama Aria Megantara, Muhammad Naufal, Harun Al-Azies, Sri Winarno https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14257 Leveraging Label Preprocessing for Effective End-to-End Indonesian Automatic Speech Recognition 2024-11-28T13:25:22+00:00 Mohammad Noval Althoff novalalthoff@gmail.com Affandy Affandy affandy@dsn.dinus.ac.id Ardytha Luthfiarta ardytha.luthfiarta@dsn.dinus.ac.id Mohammad Wahyu Bagus Dwi Satya bagus8545@gmail.com Halizah Basiron halizah@utem.edu.my <p>This research explores the potential of improving low-resource Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) performance by leveraging label preprocessing techniques in conjunction with the wav2vec2-large Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) model. ASR technology plays a critical role in enhancing educational accessibility for children with disabilities in Indonesia, yet its development faces challenges due to limited labeled datasets. SSL models like wav2vec 2.0 have shown promise by learning rich speech representations from raw audio with minimal labeled data. Still, their dependence on large datasets and significant computational resources limits their application in low-resource settings. This study introduces a label preprocessing technique to address these limitations, comparing three scenarios: training without preprocessing, with the proposed preprocessing method, and with an alternative method. Using only 16 hours of labeled data, the proposed preprocessing approach achieves a Word Error Rate (WER) of 15.83%, significantly outperforming the baseline scenario (33.45% WER) and the alternative preprocessing method (19.62% WER). Further training using the proposed preprocessing technique with increased epochs reduces the WER to 14.00%. These results highlight the effectiveness of label preprocessing in reducing data dependency while enhancing model performance. The findings demonstrate the feasibility of developing robust ASR models for low-resource languages, offering a scalable solution for advancing ASR technology and improving educational accessibility, particularly for underrepresented languages.</p> 2025-01-08T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Mohammad Noval Althoff, Affandy Affandy, Ardytha Luthfiarta, Mohammad Wahyu Bagus Dwi Satya, Halizah Basiron https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14311 Clustering Analysis of Stunting Risk Factors Using K-Means and Principal Component Analysis: A Case Study in Indonesian Regency 2024-12-13T07:45:42+00:00 M.

Yusuf mohyusuf@unissula.ac.id <p>Stunting, characterized by impaired growth and development in children, is one of the most serious public health problems often caused by chronic malnutrition. This study aims to identify patterns among stunting cases through clustering analysis of child health data. The algorithm used in this research uses K-Means. The dataset used in this study uses health data from 599 children in the Sambas Regency area of East Kalimantan Province. This dataset has several features that are quite diverse such as height, weight, age, nutritional intake, socioeconomic status, and others. This research process begins with cleaning the data, as well as looking at the correlation between features. One of the methods used is to conduct a data analysis process using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) which aims to reduce the dimensions of the data. After that, the process of finding the number of clusters using the Elbow method is carried out to determine the optimal number of clusters. This research uses 4 clusters in the process. The clustering results revealed that family structure (main family vs extended family) and parental income levels significantly influence stunting prevalence in the region.</p> 2025-01-08T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 M.

This research uses the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) approach to evaluate processes, identify weaknesses, and provide recommendations for improvement. CMMI was chosen because it can measure process effectiveness and help organizations achieve optimal performance. The research was conducted using survey and interview methods to collect data related to SPBE implementation. The collected data was analyzed using the CMMI framework to determine the maturity level from level 1 (Initial) to level 5 (Optimizing). The results of the analysis show that the maturity level of the SPBE service domain at the Communication and Information Technology Office of Palembang City is at level 3 (Defined) with a maturity level value of 3.66 from a recapitulation of a value mapped to each process area: OPF, OPD, MA, CAR and PPQA. Some areas need to be improved, especially related to lack of clearly defined and consistently applied standard operating procedures (SOPs) leads to variations in service delivery and hampers the overall effectiveness of SPBE implementation, performance monitoring mechanisms such as tracking and evaluation of service delivery outcomes are inadequate which makes it difficult to assess the effectiveness of SPBE services, existing systems are not fully compatible or lack the necessary features to support technology integration within the SPBE framework leading to inefficiencies and failure to leverage technology to improve public services. This research contributes by providing strategic recommendations to improve the maturity of SPBE implementation at the Communication and Informatics Office of Palembang City. The recommendations given are increasing the capacity of human resources, consistent application of standard operating procedures (SOPs), and the use of more integrated technology to support more effective and efficient services. The results of this study are expected to serve as a guide for the Communication and Information Technology Office of Palembang City in implementing SPBE more optimally.</p> 2025-01-06T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Nyimas Hamidah Purnama Agustriani, Titah, Tata Sutabri https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/13920 Median-Average Round Robin (MARR) Algorithm for Optimal CPU Task Scheduling 2024-08-27T07:26:39+00:00 Rakhmat Purnomo rakhmat.purnomo@dsn.ubharajaya.ac.id Tri Dharma Putra tri.dharma.putra@dsn.ubharajaya.ac.id <p>Abstract: In operating systems, multitasking or multiprocessing terms are used. If more than one task operating consecutively, but the users feel that they are running simultaneously, than it is called multitasking. Round robin algorithm is a noted algorithm in multitasking. Several modifications of classical round robin algorithm have been proposed by experts. The idea behind these modifications are to get lower turnaround time and lower waiting time. The main topic’s discussion is about median-average round robin (MARR) algorithm. In this algorithm, the processes are arranged in ascending order. Then we get the median of the burst time. Afterwards, calculation of the average burst time is done. The summation of average and median, divide by two is the time quantum. So, the time quantum will be dynamic, based on each iteration of round robin. First iteration can have different time quantum compared to the second and so on. Each iteration will have one time quantum. Three analysis’s are given. Each with five processes. In the first analysis, time quantum for 1<sup>st</sup> iteration is 11 and the 2<sup>nd</sup> iteration is 4. The average turnaround time is 29. The average waiting time is 19. For the second analysis, time quantum for 1<sup>st</sup> iteration is 10 and the 2<sup>nd</sup> iteration is 8. The average turnaround time is 24.2. The average waiting time is 13.6. For the third analysis, time quantum for 1<sup>st</sup> iteration is 10 and the 2<sup>nd</sup> iteration is 9. The average turnaround time is 23.2. The average waiting time is 12.8.</p> 2025-01-08T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Tri Dharma Putra, Rakhmat https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14235 Comparison of ARIMA and GRU Methods in Predicting Cryptocurrency Price Movements 2024-11-30T16:40:25+00:00 I Wayan Rangga Pinastawa rangga@upnvj.ac.id Musthofa Galih Pradana musthofagalihpradana@upnvj.ac.id Deandra Satriyo Setiawan deandrasatriyosetiawan@gmail.com Aurel Izzety aurelizzety@gmail.com <p>This study compares the effectiveness of the ARIMA and GRU models in predicting Bitcoin price movements, addressing the need for reliable predictive tools amidst the high volatility of the cryptocurrency market. Previous research has highlighted the strengths of each model in financial forecasting: ARIMA for short-term, stationary data and GRU for capturing complex temporal patterns. The purpose of this study is to evaluate which model performs better in the context of Bitcoin price prediction, offering insights for investors to minimize risks and enhance decision-making in this unpredictable market. The research methodology involves applying both models to Bitcoin price data and comparing their accuracy using the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) across various forecasting intervals. Results indicate that GRU achieves higher accuracy in long-term forecasts, while ARIMA performs optimally for shorter time frames. However, both models demonstrate limitations, especially as the prediction horizon extends, underscoring the inherent challenges of cryptocurrency price forecasting. These findings suggest that GRU may be better suited for longer investment horizons, while ARIMA remains effective for short-term predictions. The conclusions affirm the potential of using these models selectively to align with specific investment strategies in cryptocurrency markets, although further research is recommended to improve predictive accuracy under evolving market conditions.</p> 2025-01-08T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 I Wayan Rangga Pinastawa, Musthofa Galih Pradana, Deandra Satriyo Setiawan, Aurel Izzety https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14246 Stock Price Prediction Using TCN-GAN Hybrid Model 2024-11-23T01:15:31+00:00 Lim Yong Teck aateck.2002@gmail.com Angelina Pramana Thenata angelina.pramana@outlook.com <p>The stock market plays a vital role in national economies, offering significant profit opportunities for investors while exposing them to substantial risks due to market uncertainties. Stock prices often experience significant fluctuations, making accurate prediction a challenging task. Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) and Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) are the deep learning method proposed for this research. The purpose of this research is to analyze how well the TCN-GAN model predicts stock prices. Previous researches show both TCN and GAN perform well on time series data. TCN excels in analyzing time-series data while GAN enhances training by generating realistic simulations. By combining the strength of both models, this approach aims to enhance stock price prediction accuracy. The proposed model uses TCN as the generator within the GAN framework and a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) as the discriminator. TCN handles the prediction task and is trained using the GAN model. The model is trained over 500 epochs, with a learning rate of 0.0004 for the generator and 0.0001 for the discriminator. During each epoch, the generator is updated twice to enhance its performance. The resulting model achieves a MAPE score of 2.16% and an RMSE score of 814.25 on the testing dataset, demonstrating excellent performance in stock price prediction despite significant price variations.</p> 2025-01-08T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Lim Yong Teck, Angelina Pramana Thenata https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14264 Parameter Testing on Random Forest Algorithm for Stunting Prediction 2024-11-28T13:26:33+00:00 Ahmad Hasan Mubarok 112202106725@mhs.dinus.ac.id Pujiono Pujiono pujiono@dsn.dinus.ac.id Dicky Setiawan dickysstwn@gmail.com Duta Firdaus Wicaksono 1112202006480@mhs.dinus.ac.id Eti Rimawati eti.rimawati@dsn.dinus.ac.id <p>Stunting is a significant public health problem, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. It is often caused by chronic malnutrition in the first 1,000 days of life, which can impact a child's physical growth and cognitive development. To find risk factors and find effective solutions, data analysis was conducted by utilising machine learning to predict stunting. This research uses the Random Forest algorithm with a focus on setting parameters such as n_estimators, max_depth, and the number of features to optimise model efficiency and accuracy. Using the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey data consisting of 25,800 data, this study managed to get the highest accuracy of 91.65% by a combination of Random Forest with parameter settings n_estimators 200, max_depth 30, and Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE). Despite the high accuracy results, there are limitations such as potential noise coming from synthetic data from SMOTE and the limited number of features analysed. It is hoped that this research can contribute to the field of machine learning model development that is practically used to predict stunting, and support the government's efforts to reduce the stunting prevalence rate to 14% as targeted. This model also provides strategic insights for policy makers to design more effective data-driven interventions, which can help in decision making.</p> 2025-01-08T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Ahmad Hasan Mubarok, Pujiono, Dicky Setiawan, Duta Firdaus Wicaksono, Eti Rimawati https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14296 Comparison of RNN and LSTM Algorithms Based on Fasttext Embeddings in Sentiment Analysis on the Merdeka Mengajar Platform 2024-12-07T01:26:45+00:00 Anjis Sapto Nugroho anjie.nugros@gmail.com Kristiawan Nugroho kristiawan@edu.unisbank.ac.id <p>As of 2024, the Merdeka Mengajar Platform has been used by more than 3.5 million teachers across Indonesia. This number represents an increase of more than 3.85% compared to the previous academic year, which was 3.37 million. However, the utilization of this application has not yet reached the expected target number of users, so an analysis is needed to identify the factors causing this. This research uses Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to perform sentiment analysis on reviews of the Merdeka Mengajar platform. RNN and LSTM are chosen for their advantages in handling sequential data, particularly in text processing for sentiment analysis. This research aims to address the challenges in understanding the positive or negative sentiments of users on the platform. The research methodology includes important stages such as data cleaning, preprocessing, and transforming text into numerical vectors using FastText embedding. Next, RNN and LSTM models are applied to predict sentiment based on patterns in the text data. The research results show that the LSTM model is capable of capturing long-term relationships in sequential data with an expected accuracy of 93.58%. Meanwhile, the RNN model yields a lower accuracy of 91.70%. The LSTM model is more effective in classifying sentiment with high accuracy, especially in text data with complex temporal contexts. This research contributes to understanding user perceptions and feedback regarding the Merdeka Mengajar platform, which is expected to provide insights for platform developers to enhance service quality.</p> 2025-01-08T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Anjis Sapto Nugroho, Kristiawan Nugroho https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14309 Implementation of LSA for Topic Modeling on Tweets with the Keyword ‘Kemenkeu’ 2024-12-10T06:26:53+00:00 Shofiyatul Khariroh 112202106667@mhs.dinus.ac.id Farrikh Alzami alzami@dsn.dinus.ac.id Heni Indrayani heni.indrayani@dsn.dinus.ac.id Ika Novita Dewi ikadewi@dsn.dinus.ac.id Aris Marjuni aris.marjuni@dsn.dinus.ac.id Mira Riezky Adriani mira.adriani@kemenkeu.go.id Moh Hadi Subowo hadi.subowo@walisongo.ac.id <p>This research explores public discourse on financial policies by analyzing tweets mentioning the keyword 'Kemenkeu' (Ministry of Finance).

Preprocessing steps, such as stopword removal and stemming with Sastrawi, were essential to ensure the effectiveness of the analysis. The results revealed three main topics: Finance and Budget, Salaries and Employee Welfare, and Excise and Customs Regulations. These insights provide a better understanding of public opinion on financial issues and highlight the importance of proper text preprocessing in topic modeling.

Several cases indicate a decline in the learning motivation of students and university students, which significantly affects aspects of understanding, creativity, productivity, and learning outcomes. University students transition from learners who, during their high school years, spent more time studying online without directly interacting with peers or teachers. One of the causes of university student dropouts is internal issues due to students' inability to adapt to the university environment. The purpose of this research is to compile cases frequently experienced by university students that cause stress and lead to the decision to discontinue their studies. This is done to find solutions and prevent similar incidents from recurring. The implementation of e-counselling helps provide solutions in the form of action recommendations on how to address student issues. We conducted the research in several stages, including data collection, literature review, modelling, model evaluation, and prototype building and testing. We obtained the solution to the collected cases from the counsellor through a focus group discussion (FGD). This research employs case-based reasoning, utilizing four reasoning processes: retrieve, reuse, revise, and retain. We chose the modified weighted average similarity function to measure the case's similarity value with the cases in the case base. Through the case-based e-counselling system, the calculation results reveal the similarity between the new case and the old cases, recommending actions that counsellors have validated as valid solutions.</p> 2025-01-09T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Frestiany Regina Putri, Artika Fristi Firnawati , Shifa Andila https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14255 Embedded Smart Farming System for Soil and Hydroponic Planting Media Based on The Internet of Things 2024-11-25T05:33:17+00:00 Silfia Rifka silfia_rifka@pnp.ac.id Ramiati Ramiati ramiati@pnp.ac.id Ratna Dewi ratnadewi@pnp.ac.id Ummul Khair ummul@pnp.ac.id Herry Setiawan herrysetiawan@pnp.ac.id <p>Smart agricultural technology by applying the internet of things (IoT) purposes to make farmers' work more efficient due to the automation system and assist farmers in monitoring the condition of their agricultural land.

However, sentiment analysis of app reviews specifically on Tokopedia reviews remains underexplored. Sentiment analysis, also known as opinion mining, categorizes user sentiments into positive or negative, offering insights into user preferences and service shortcomings. While traditional text representation techniques like TF-IDF are widely used for sentiment analysis, they lack the semantic richness provided by advanced word embeddings such as Word2Vec and FastText, which excel at capturing contextual relationships between words. These methods have shown potential to enhance the performance of machine learning models in sentiment analysis tasks. This study evaluates the performance of three machine learning algorithms—Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and Gaussian Naïve Bayes (NB)—combined with Word2Vec and FastText feature extraction. A dataset of 59,811 Tokopedia app reviews was scraped from the Google Play Store, preprocessed, and subjected to feature extraction using Word2Vec and FastText. SVM achieved the best performance, with an accuracy of 89.06% using FastText and 89.02% using Word2Vec. RF ranked second with accuracies of 88.07% for FastText and 88.14% for Word2Vec. NB showed the lowest performance, achieving 84.26% with Word2Vec and 83.73% with FastText. Differences in performance between Word2Vec and FastText embeddings were minimal across all algorithms, highlighting their comparable effectiveness. These results underscore SVM’s consistent superiority across various configurations for sentiment analysis.</p> 2025-01-06T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Muhammad Idris, Ahmad Rifai, Ken Ditha Tania https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14219 Transforming Real Estate: Leveraging TOGAF ADM for Digital Optimization in Enterprise Architecture 2024-11-08T03:31:36+00:00 Herman Widjaja herman.widjaja@student.pradita.ac.id Richardus Eko Indrajit eko.indrajit@gmail.com Erick Dazki erick.dazki@pradita.ac.id <p><em>In this research paper, we propose an Enterprise Architecture (EA) design for PT XYZ, a middle up class real estate development company in Indonesia, leveraging the TOGAF ADM framework.

Physiological characteristics are relatively stable physical characteristics such as fingerprints, hand lines, facial features, tooth patterns, and the retina of the eye. Behavioral characteristics such as signature, speech patterns, or typing rhythm. The function of a signature is proof in a document which states that the party signing, knows and agrees to all the contents of a document. There are several stages in the signature pattern image recognition system, namely the signature pattern image is produced through a scanning process, then the resulting digital signature image is cut (scaling) manually, the next process is thresholding, edge detection, image division, and representation. input value. The method used in recognizing signature patterns is the learning vector quantization (LVQ) artificial neural network method and kohonen self-organizing map (SOM). In Learning vector quantization, the initial weights are updated using existing patterns. Meanwhile, in the self-organizing map method, Kohonen takes initial weights randomly, then these weights are updated until they can classify themselves into the desired number of classes. The processes that occur in the artificial neural network method require a relatively long time. This is influenced by the large number of data samples used as a means of updating the trained weights.

In Kendal District, the Environmental Agency struggles to optimize waste collection and predict the volume of organic waste. To address this issue, this study explores the application of predictive technology and data analysis to improve the efficiency of waste management. Two predictive models, ARIMA and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), were developed and compared by collecting historical data from Kendal Organic Compost House from 2020-2024 while for train and test data using data from January 2, 2023, to December 30, 2023. The ARIMA model showed better accuracy, capturing stable trends and seasonal patterns in the time series data, with an MSE of 72,799.49. Meanwhile, the LSTM model, although capable of handling non-linear and complex patterns, performed poorly with an MSE of 54,711,498,631,770.58, indicating a failure to accommodate sharp fluctuations in the data. These findings highlight the suitability of ARIMA for data with low volatility and strong seasonality, making it more reliable for short-term predictions. The results of this study are expected to assist the Kendal District Environmental Agency in planning efficient waste management strategies, optimizing compost house operations, and improving resource allocation. Future research should focus on the integration of external variables, such as weather and population dynamics, and explore hybrid models for better prediction.</p> 2025-01-14T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Farah Raihatuzzahra, Nurul Anisa Sri Winarsih https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14234 Food and Physical Activity Tracking Application with Simple Dietary Pattern Analysis 2024-11-30T12:49:27+00:00 Radinal Setyadinsa radinals@gmail.com Ulka Chandini Pendit ulka.chandinipendit@gmail.com Novi Trisman Hadi novitrismanhadi@upnvj.ac.id <p>This study focuses on the development of a mobile application to track food intake and physical activity while offering simple dietary pattern analysis.

This study implements the Graph Regularized Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (GPLSA) method to analyze topics from social media data surrounding the 2024 Indonesian Presidential Election (Pemilu), as well as to evaluate the efficiency of the Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (PLSA) algorithm. The research stages include collecting social media data on presidential debates and elections, text pre-processing, and applying the GPLSA method to identify main topics. The analysis results show that PLSA without graph achieved a topic coherence score of 0.653, indicating good consistency, while GPLSA decreased to 0.5, suggesting that the addition of graph regularization did not significantly enhance coherence. Additionally, PLSA without graph achieved a perplexity score of 12.138, indicating good predictive capability, while GPLSA increased to 12.511, showing that graph regularization did not improve the prediction of new words. PLSA without graph also produced topics relevant to election issues, while GPLSA generated topics influenced by graph regularization, though without significant improvement in topic quality. Sentiment analysis of social media posts provides insights into public responses to debates and election issues. Validation of the GPLSA model ensures relevant topic representation. This research contributes to the development of text analysis methods and offers valuable information for elections and democratic participation. These results can be utilized by stakeholders to make more strategic and informed decisions.</p> 2025-01-17T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Muhammad Panji Muslim, Novi Trisman Hadi, Muhammad Adrezo https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14328 Capability-Based API Gateway Technology Selection Analysis for Banking Cybersecurity Solution Using AHP Method 2024-12-14T19:04:55+00:00 Riama Santy Sitorus riama@asaindo.ac.id B Junedi Hutagaol junedi@asaindo.ac.id Dita Madonna Simanjuntak ditasimanjuntak@gmail.com <p>The growing reliance on APIs in the banking sector, driven by digital transformation, necessitates robust API Gateways that balance performance with strong security measures to address risks like API abuse, man-in-the-middle attacks, and data scraping, while ensuring compliance with regulations such as PCI-DSS, GDPR, and OJK standards. This study bridges the gap in technical guidance by developing a comprehensive evaluation framework using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine the most suitable API Gateway for banking. The findings identify Apigee as the optimal choice, scoring 1.4277 for its superior authentication, traffic encryption, threat detection, deployment flexibility, cloud integration, and API management.

This study aims to group students into three main clusters, namely Science, Arts, and Business, using the Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithm. The FCM algorithm was chosen because of its flexibility in handling multidimensional data and allows students to have degrees of membership in more than one cluster, reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of their preferences. The research dataset consists of data on students' interests in fields of study (Science, Arts, Business) and academic grades in related subjects. The clustering results show that: The Business cluster includes 59 students (46.9%), reflecting the dominance of interests in economics, global trend analysis, and business organization activities. &nbsp;Artcluster consists of 39 students (30.0%), who show a preference for visual arts, art portfolio development, and involvement in community design. Science cluster has 30 students (23.1%) with interests in biology, science experiments, and biotechnology. Evaluation using Davies Bouldin Index (DBI) yields a value of 0.78, indicating good cluster quality. In addition, manual validation from teachers shows that more than 85% of students in each cluster fit the grouping based on direct observation. This study makes a significant contribution to the development of data-driven academic recommendation systems, enabling educational institutions to design learning programs that are more adaptive, relevant, and in accordance with student needs.</p> 2025-01-25T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Gellysa Urva, Welly Desriyati https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14395 Improving Tesseract OCR Accuracy Using SymSpell Algorithm on Passport Data 2025-01-05T16:48:22+00:00 Iqbaluddin Syam Had iqbaluddinsh@gmail.com Wiga Maulana Baihaqi wiga@amikompurwokerto.ac.id Dwi Putriana Nuramanah Kinding dwiputriana.kinding@unsoed.ac.id <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a technology used to recognize text from images or digital documents, such as passports. One popular OCR tool is Tesseract as it offers high accuracy. However, OCR accuracy is often affected by various factors, including image noise and/or non-text elements. This article discusses the application of the SymSpell algorithm for post processing to improve OCR accuracy on standard Indonesian passports. OCR will be focused on the Visual Inspection Zone, specifically the Place of Birth and Issuing Office values. Unlike the Machine Readable Zone which is composed of individual codes and a clear background, the Visual Inspection Zone often experiences OCR errors due to holograms blocking the text and spaced layouts. SymSpell is an edit distance based spelling correction algorithm designed to process data quickly and efficiently, even on very huge datasets. In this study, SymSpell is used to detect and correct errors in OCR results that are compared to a corpus word list. Experimental results with 10 tested scans and passport photos showed that the integration of SymSpell with the Research and Development methodology was able to improve the OCR accuracy rate by 21,43% for certain Place of Birth and Issuing Office data from the Visual Inspection Zone. With this approach, OCR systems can provide more reliable results for practical applications</span>.</p> 2025-01-27T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Iqbaluddin Syam Had, Wiga Maulana Baihaqi, Dwi Putriana Nuramanah Kinding https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14452 Assessment Of IDW And ANN On Daily Rainfall Data Imputation in Semarang Central Java 2025-01-13T18:25:29+00:00 Eko Taufiq Suharmanto ekotaufiq0011@mhs.unisbank.ac.id Aji Supriyanto ajisup@edu.unisbank.ac.id <p>Rainfall plays a critical role in the global water and energy cycle, influencing surface water availability and recharge processes both spatially and temporally. Traditional rainfall data collection using ombrometers provides accurate live data, but often faces the challenge of missing data due to equipment failure or transmission, especially in agencies such as BMKG. This problem of missing data greatly impacts hydrological analysis and requires an effective data recovery process through imputation. This study aims to assess the accuracy of rainfall data imputation techniques using the Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) methods. In this study, we utilize data from 31 observation stations in Semarang City for more than three decades. The findings show that the spatial distribution of rainfall is variable and exhibits a cyclic pattern despite fluctuations. The ANN model performed very well in overcoming missing data, especially in the dry season with an RMSE of 0.9489 and a coefficient of determination (R<sup>2</sup>) of 0.9926. By demonstrating the superiority of the ANN model in accurately predicting rainfall, this study offers an effective approach to improve the quality of BMKG climate data. This is expected to support disaster mitigation decisions and sustainable development planning. This approach demonstrates that the selection of an appropriate method is critical for accurate and reliable analysis of rainfall time series data. In addition to making an academic contribution, these results also provide an alternative imputation method for various time series.</p> 2025-01-27T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Eko Taufiq Suharmanto, Aji Supriyanto https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14441 Predicting Prospective Student Interests Using the C4.5 Algorithm and Naive Bayes 2025-01-12T19:10:07+00:00 Ali Akbar Ritonga aliakbarritonga@gmail.com Annisa Amanda annisaamanda272@gmail.com Elysa Rohayani Hasibuan elysa.hasby@gmail.com <p>Students are individuals pursuing higher education at a university with the goal of enhancing their knowledge, skills, and character to succeed in the professional world and contribute to society.

This study investigates the performance of various machine learning and deep learning models for heart disease prediction using a structured dataset of 918 observations and 11 features. The analysis includes ensemble methods like Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and XGBoost, as well as neural networks such as Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Traditional classifiers, including Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Logistic Regression, are also considered for benchmarking. The dataset was preprocessed using label encoding, standardization, and the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) to address class imbalance and ensure data consistency. Model evaluation was conducted using key metrics such as precision, recall, F1-score, and ROC-AUC. The results demonstrated that ensemble methods, particularly Random Forest (ROC-AUC: 0.9313) and Gradient Boosting (ROC-AUC: 0.9279), consistently delivered superior performance. Among neural networks, MLPs showed promising results (ROC-AUC: 0.9232), outperforming CNNs, which were less effective in handling tabular data. Meanwhile, TabNet was found to be unsuitable for this dataset, as it significantly underperformed across all metrics. This research highlights the effectiveness of ensemble methods and MLPs in heart disease prediction and the importance of proper preprocessing techniques.

Early prediction of this disease is essential for more effective management. This study aims to develop a diabetes mellitus prediction model using an ensemble learning approach, including homogeneous (boosting and bagging) and heterogeneous (stacking and blending) techniques. In this study, the boosting algorithm using AdaBoost with Random Forest as the base estimator showed the highest accuracy of 98%, with balanced precision and recall. The bagging technique, which also uses Random Forest as the base estimator, achieved 97% accuracy, although slightly lower than boosting. The stacking technique, which combines XGBoost, Gradient Boosting, and Random Forest as base learners, with Random Forest as the meta-model, yields similar accuracy of 98%, but with lower prediction error, demonstrating its ability to cope with more complex data. Blending, which uses a similar approach but with training on the entire dataset, gave 98% accuracy with shorter processing time and more efficient memory usage than stacking.</p> 2025-02-15T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Muhammad Naufal Maulana, Muljono, Eka Putra Agus Meindiawan https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14502 The Efficiency of Machine Learning Techniques in Strengthening Defenses Against DDoS Attacks, Such as Random Forest, Logistic Regression, and Neural Networks 2025-01-21T04:39:22+00:00 Syauqii Fayyadh Hilal Z syauqiifayyad13@gmail.com Rushendra rushendra@mercubuana.ac.id <p>Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are one of the most common cybersecurity concerns brought on by the quick development of digital technology. By flooding servers with too many requests, these assaults interfere with online services, highlighting the necessity of strong detection systems. Using the well-known CIC-DDoS2019 dataset, this study explores the use of machine learning algorithms—Random Forest (RF), Logistic Regression (LR), and Neural Networks (NN)—to improve DDoS assault detection. A comprehensive preprocessing procedure that comprised feature selection, normalization, and duplication removal was applied to dataset in order to ensuring optimal algorithm performance. With an accuracy of 97% on the entire test dataset and 99.13% on the training and validation datasets, RF showed exceptional performance. While NN successfully managed intricate data patterns, attaining an accuracy of roughly 94%, LR demonstrated impressive results with an accuracy of 98.65%. Because of its ensemble method, which minimizes overfitting and improves model generalization, the RF algorithm performed better than the others. This study highlights how machine learning may be used to solve practical cybersecurity issues by offering insightful information about how to optimize algorithms for real-time DDoS detection. The results improve the stability and resilience of digital infrastructures by aiding in the creation of effective intrusion detection systems. Future research can explore integrating advanced neural network architectures and hybrid methods to further improve detection rates and adaptability to evolving cyber threats.</p> 2025-02-16T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Syauqii Fayyadh Hilal Z, Rushendra https://jurnal.polgan.ac.id/index.php/sinkron/article/view/14496 The Enterprise Architecture for Enhanced Mutual Fund Service Integration in Digital Channel in the Banking Industry 2025-02-06T19:39:27+00:00 Achmad Fathurrazi Akbar achmad.fathurrazi@student.pradita.ac.id Eko Indrajit eko.indrajit@pradita.ac.id Erick Dazki erick.dazki@pradita.ac.id <p>The investment awareness among the Indonesian populace is rising, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic.
