Abstract

Bitcoin, a highly volatile and decentralized digital asset, presents considerable challenges for accurate price forecasting. This study proposes an applied data science framework that compares traditional statistical approaches with modern Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based models to predict Bitcoin’s daily closing price. Using BTC-USD historical data from January 2020 to December 2024, we converted prices into Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) to increase local relevance. Our forecasting horizon is 30 days, based on a 60-day lookback window. We evaluate six models: Linear Regression, ARIMA, and Prophet as traditional techniques, alongside Random Forest, XGBoost, and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks as AI approaches. All models were trained using lag-based or sequence-based time series features and evaluated using MAE, RMSE, R², MAPE, and SMAPE. Results show that AI models, particularly LSTM and XGBoost, offer better performance in capturing short-term non-linear dynamics compared to traditional models. LSTM provides high accuracy, though with greater computational demand, while XGBoost strikes a balance between speed and precision. Prophet and ARIMA remain effective for quick and interpretable forecasts but struggle with abrupt trend shift common in cryptocurrency markets. In addition to performance metrics, we include a robustness analysis based on median absolute error and outlier detection to assess model stability under extreme variations. Visual analytics—including forecast curves, error distributions, and uncertainty bounds—help interpret and communicate model behavior. This comprehensive evaluation offers practical insights for investors, analysts, and fintech practitioners, and the pipeline can be extended to other volatile assets.

Abstract

Depression is a mental health disorder that often remains undetected due to limited access to mental health services and persistent social stigma. Social media platforms provide an alternative source for identifying depressive symptoms through linguistic expressions shared by users in textual posts. This study proposes an applied data science approach for detecting depression symptoms in Indonesian social media text using Transformer-based models. The dataset was constructed by combining the DEPTWEET dataset with social media posts collected through keyword-based scraping guided by PHQ-9 indicators. The proposed framework consists of dataset construction, text preprocessing, Transformer-based modeling, and performance evaluation. Two pre-trained language models, IndoBERT and XLM-RoBERTa, were evaluated under two preprocessing configurations, namely normal preprocessing and light preprocessing. Experimental results show that preprocessing strategies significantly influence classification performance. Light preprocessing consistently improves contextual representation and leads to better results compared with normal preprocessing. XLM-RoBERTa combined with light preprocessing achieves the best overall performance with a test accuracy of 0.77 and an F1-score of 0.77. Additional robustness analysis and pairwise model agreement evaluation further indicate that both models maintain relatively stable predictions when processing noisy social media text. Findings from this study demonstrate the effectiveness of Transformer-based models for multi-class depression detection in Indonesian social media environments. The proposed framework provides insights into how applied data science techniques can support large-scale analysis of mental health signals in online platforms and contribute to the development of data-driven approaches for early detection of depression symptoms.

Abstract

Acne lesion segmentation is essential for automated dermatological image analysis. However, developing accurate deep learning segmentation models requires pixel-level annotations, which are costly and time-consuming to obtain. To address this limitation, pseudo-mask generation methods can be utilized to produce surrogate labels for training segmentation networks without manual annotation. This study presents a comparative evaluation of five pseudo-mask generation methods for acne lesion segmentation, namely Contour-Based, Superpixel (SLIC), K-Means, Weakly Supervised Semantic Segmentation (WSSS) based on Otsu Thresholding and Morphological Operations, and Pseudo-Mask-Based Generation. The generated pseudo masks were employed as supervisory labels to train a ResNet34-U-Net segmentation model under identical experimental settings. To improve the robustness of the training process, data augmentation was applied exclusively to the training dataset. Segmentation performance was quantitatively evaluated using Dice Score, Intersection over Union (IoU), Precision, Recall and Validation Loss, and qualitatively assessed through visual comparisons of the generated pseudo masks and predicted segmentation results. The experimental results demonstrate that pseudo-mask quality has a substantial impact on segmentation performance. Among the evaluated methods, Superpixel (SLIC) achieved the highest performance with a Dice Score of 0.898, an IoU of 0.815, a Precision of 0.889, a Recall of 0.908, and the lowest validation loss of 0.268 indicating superior lesion boundary preservation and region consistency. WSSS (Otsu + Morphology) also produced competitive results, whereas Pseudo-Mask-Based and Contour-Based methods yielded comparatively lower performance. These findings demonstrate that high-quality pseudo masks can provide effective supervision for ResNet34-U-Net training, offering an annotation-efficient approach for acne lesion segmentation and providing practical insights into selecting suitable pseudo-mask generation methods for dermatological image analysis.
