Abstract

Stemming is an essential procedure in natural language processing (NLP), which involves reducing words to their root forms by eliminating affixes, including prefixes, infixes, and suffixes. The employed method assesses the efficacy of stemming, which differs according to language. Complex affixation patterns in Indonesian and regional languages such as Minangkabau pose considerable difficulties for traditional algorithms. This research adopts the enhanced fixed-stripping method to tackle these issues by integrating linguistic characteristics unique to Minangkabau. This study has three phases: data acquisition, pseudocode development, and algorithm execution. Testing revealed an average accuracy of 77.8%, indicating the algorithm's proficiency in managing Minangkabau’s intricate morphology. Nevertheless, constraints persist, particularly with irregular affixation patterns. Possible improvements could include adding more datasets, improving the rules for handling affixes, and using machine learning to make the system more flexible and accurate. This study emphasizes the significance of customized solutions for regional languages and provides insights into the advancement of NLP in various linguistic environments. The findings underscore the progress made in processing Minangkabau text while also emphasizing the need for further research to address current issues.

Abstract

This study addresses the critical need to preserve and revitalize the Javanese language, which despite its widespread popularity, faces challenges as a low-resource language in Indonesia. The decline in Javanese proficiency among younger generations poses a significant threat to the language's cultural significance and heritage. To address this issue, this study introduces an innovative approach to machine translation, focusing on the development of a robust Indonesian-Javanese translation system. Utilizing advanced neural machine translation (NMT) techniques, including Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, the proposed system aims to bridge the linguistic gap between Indonesian and Javanese. Special attention was given to the unique linguistic characteristics and challenges of Javanese, with the goal of achieving exceptional translation accuracy and fluency. Through extensive experimentation and evaluation, this study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of the translation system in facilitating cross-cultural communication and language preservation efforts within the Javanese-speaking community. By emphasizing the significance of Javanese as a widely spoken yet under-resourced language, this study underscores the importance of innovative technological solutions in safeguarding linguistic diversity and cultural heritage. Through its contributions, the research seeks to address the pressing need for language preservation and revitalization, particularly in the context of low-resource languages like Javanese.
