Abstract

The emergence of the metaverse in society is followed by certain confusions, whereas the line between virtual reality and the metaverse remains unclear. Ironically, this has affected the development of the metaverse itself, focusing more on virtual reality while being one of its side components. This has led to the concept losing popularity compared to artificial intelligence technology. This research is a qualitative study that aims to explore the issues at the root of misconceptions and reconstruct the true meaning of the metaverse itself. This research indicates that the misconception already existed when the term was first used alongside virtual reality technology. The term "meta" refers to a higher reality, whereas the terms "digiverse" or "virtuverse" can be used, considering that the terms "digital" and "virtual" can refer to realities lower than the universe.

Abstract

Accurate forecasting of household energy consumption plays a crucial role in optimizing energy efficiency, supporting sustainable policy decisions, and improving operational management in smart grid systems. This study enhances conventional XGBoost-based forecasting by integrating cross-validation and residual-based evaluation to ensure model robustness and interpretability. Using a dataset of over 90,000 daily household energy records that include temperature, humidity, and appliance-level usage, a systematic preprocessing pipeline was applied—comprising data cleaning, normalization, temporal feature transformation, and partitioning into training and testing subsets. The proposed model was trained using 10-fold cross-validation to minimize overfitting and validated through residual error analysis to assess stability and bias. Evaluation metrics, including Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and the coefficient of determination (R²), demonstrate superior predictive accuracy, achieving MAE = 0.48, RMSE = 0.64, and R² = 0.9864. Visualization of actual versus predicted consumption and symmetric residual distribution further confirm the model’s reliability. The findings highlight that the enhanced XGBoost model not only achieves high precision but also provides a robust foundation for real-time energy monitoring, anomaly detection, and sustainable household energy management. Future work will integrate SHAP-based interpretability and comparative benchmarking with deep learning approaches.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of ad scheduling on user conversions by analyzing temporal patterns in user behavior. In the increasingly competitive landscape of digital marketing, optimizing the timing of ad placements is critical for maximizing user engagement and conversion rates. Utilizing a comprehensive dataset from Kaggle, which includes variables such as user ID, ad exposure details, and conversion outcomes, we employed both time series analysis and survival analysis to uncover insights into how different ad scheduling strategies affect conversion rates. The ARIMA model, used for time series analysis, provided reasonable predictive accuracy with a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 389.92, Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 463.97, and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of 2.26%. This model effectively identified specific hours and days with higher likelihoods of conversion, particularly during evenings and weekends. On the other hand, the Cox Proportional Hazards model, used for survival analysis, demonstrated superior performance with a concordance index of 0.97, indicating its exceptional ability to predict the timing of user conversions based on various covariates such as the number of ads seen and the specific hours of exposure. The findings suggest that strategic ad scheduling, tailored to align with user temporal behavior, can significantly enhance marketing effectiveness by targeting users during peak conversion periods. These insights offer practical implications for digital marketers aiming to refine their ad delivery strategies to achieve higher conversion rates and improve return on investment.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between trading volume and Bitcoin price movements using Pearson and Spearman correlation methods. The aim is to determine if trading volume can reliably predict Bitcoin price changes. Using a comprehensive dataset of daily Bitcoin prices and trading volumes, various statistical techniques were employed. Pearson and Spearman correlation analyses revealed very weak and statistically insignificant relationships, with correlation coefficients of -0.023788 and 0.021093, respectively. Linear regression analysis further supported these findings, showing an insignificant regression coefficient for trading volume and a very low R-squared value of 0.000566. Volatility analysis, measured by the standard deviation of daily returns, demonstrated high price volatility, consistent with the cryptocurrency market's nature. This volatility is influenced by factors such as market sentiment, regulatory developments, and macroeconomic events. The study also utilized 30-day moving averages to smooth short-term fluctuations and highlight long-term trends in trading volume and closing prices, revealing underlying trends not visible in daily data. A 1-day lagged correlation analysis indicated a very weak relationship (0.008145) between trading volume on one day and price changes on the next, suggesting other factors drive price movements. Visualizations, including time series graphs, histograms, moving averages, and volatility graphs, further illustrated the lack of a clear pattern between trading volume and price changes. In conclusion, trading volume is not a significant predictor of Bitcoin price movements, highlighting the need for comprehensive analytical approaches considering multiple variables to understand and predict Bitcoin price dynamics better.

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of property prices in the virtual world, focusing on geographical distribution and district comparisons. Utilizing a dataset of virtual properties, we applied scatter plot analysis, cluster analysis using DBSCAN, and box plot comparison to identify key patterns and opportunities within this market. The scatter plot analysis revealed that property prices are unevenly distributed, with higher prices clustering in specific regions, indicating areas of higher desirability and value. The DBSCAN clustering identified distinct high-value clusters, each containing 10 to 67 properties, and highlighted 1,067 properties as noise, suggesting a dispersed distribution of lower-value properties. Box plot comparisons across districts showed significant variations in property values. Some districts exhibited higher median prices, with the highest at 35,452.60 MANA, while others had lower medians. Variability within districts varied, with some showing a wide range of prices and others more uniform values. Outliers suggested unique investment opportunities in both premium and undervalued properties. For virtual real estate investors, the findings emphasize the importance of location and strategic investment. High-value districts and emerging areas offer potential for significant returns. Developers and urban planners can use these insights to focus on high-demand areas, enhancing project value through strategic investments in infrastructure and amenities. This study highlights the dynamic nature of the virtual real estate market and the importance of ongoing research to understand factors influencing property values.

The study examines user sentiment on the Indodax cryptocurrency trading platform using pre-trained Indonesian language models for sentiment analysis. A dataset of 25,000 user reviews was analyzed, revealing that most reviews expressed neutral sentiment, with positive sentiments accounting for 20% and negative sentiments under 4%. The sentiment classification models used include Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression, and Naive Bayes. SVM achieved the highest predictive accuracy at 94.22%, followed by Logistic Regression at 93.62%. These models classified sentiments based on TF-IDF feature extraction, highlighting SVM's effectiveness in sentiment classification within the user reviews. Additionally, sentiment trends over time were analyzed, showing fluctuations in user satisfaction corresponding with market events and platform changes, emphasizing the importance of maintaining platform stability during high volatility. The study’s findings suggest actionable improvements for Indodax, such as addressing user concerns that lead to negative sentiments, like customer service and technical issues, while reinforcing platform strengths, such as ease of use. These insights enable Indodax to enhance user satisfaction and retention by monitoring sentiment trends and adjusting features accordingly. However, the study faces limitations due to the use of pre-trained models that may not fully capture Indonesian language nuances and the absence of demographic data, which limits the analysis to general sentiment trends. Future research could incorporate demographic insights and user behavior metrics to offer a more personalized understanding of user sentiment, ultimately aiding Indodax in delivering a more tailored and satisfying user experience.

Abstract

This study investigates the application of machine learning for classifying vehicles based on their technical specifications using the Random Forest algorithm. The objective was to create a robust classification model capable of categorizing vehicles into six distinct classes: Hybrid, SUV, Sedan, Sports, Truck, and Wagon. The analysis was conducted using a comprehensive dataset that included features such as engine size, horsepower, weight, and fuel efficiency, along with the target variable, vehicle class. To address the issue of class imbalance, the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) was applied to balance the training data. The results showed that the model performed particularly well in classifying Sedans, achieving a perfect recall and high F1-score, while struggling with underrepresented classes like Hybrid and Wagon. Despite applying SMOTE, the model’s performance for minority classes remained suboptimal, highlighting the challenges associated with highly imbalanced datasets. The study contributes to the field of vehicle classification by demonstrating the use of Random Forest for such tasks and providing insights into the challenges posed by imbalanced class distributions. The findings underscore the importance of feature selection, especially regarding numerical attributes such as horsepower and engine size, in improving classification accuracy. However, the study also identified limitations, including potential biases in the dataset and the difficulty in improving performance for minority vehicle classes. Future research should explore alternative algorithms like XGBoost or deep learning models, and consider expanding the dataset to include more diverse vehicle types. The practical implications of this work are significant for vehicle market segmentation, offering valuable insights for manufacturers, dealerships, and analysts seeking to optimize vehicle classification and improve market targeting strategies.
