Abstract

Depression among university students has become a serious mental health concern that can negatively affect academic performance and overall well-being. Early detection of Depression is essential to provide timely support and preventive interventions. This study proposes a machine learning approach to classify student Depression using a Support Vector Machine (SVM) combined with Backward Elimination (BE) for feature selection. The dataset used in this research was obtained from a public repository and consists of 502 student records with multiple psychological and demographic attributes. Data preprocessing included categorical encoding and Min–Max normalization, followed by an 80:20 split for training and testing. Experimental results show that the baseline SVM model achieved an accuracy of 0.9208, while the application of Backward Elimination improved the performance to 0.9604. In addition, precision, recall, and F1-score also showed notable improvements, indicating a reduction in misclassification, particularly for non-depressed students. These findings demonstrate that integrating feature selection with SVM can enhance classification performance and provide a more efficient model for supporting early Depression detection among university students.

Abstract

The Free Nutritious Meal Program (Makan Bergizi Gratis/MBG) is a national policy initiated by the Indonesian government to improve public nutritional status, particularly among children and vulnerable groups. Since its implementation, the program has generated extensive public discussion on social media, reflecting diverse opinions, support, and criticism. This study aims to analyze public sentiment toward the MBG program on social media X (Twitter) using machine learning-based text classification methods. A total of 9,038 Indonesian-language tweets were collected and processed through text preprocessing, semi-automatic sentiment labeling with manual validation, and feature extraction using the Term Frequency–Inverse Document Frequency (TF–IDF) method. Sentiments were classified into three categories: positive, neutral, and negative. The performance of K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and ANN with class balancing using Synthetic Minority Over-Sampling Technique (ANN + SMOTE) was evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics supported by confusion matrix analysis. The results indicate that the ANN + SMOTE model achieved the highest performance with an accuracy of 93.58%, outperforming ANN (92.59%) and KNN (86.28%). The sentiment distribution indicates that public opinion toward the MBG program is predominantly neutral (52.1%), followed by positive (40.0%) and negative (7.9%) sentiments. These findings suggest that while the MBG program is generally well received, negative sentiments provide important feedback related to program implementation and governance.
