Abstract

This study was conducted to understand how Twitter (X) users respond to President Prabowo's performance through machine learning-based sentiment analysis. Data was collected using a dataset crawling approach, then processed through a series of pre-processing stages such as cleansing, case folding, tokenisation, stopword removal, and stemming before being converted into a numerical representation with TF-IDF. The class imbalance problem was addressed by applying SMOTE so that the model could learn more evenly. Three classification algorithms, SVM, XGBoost, and AdaBoost, were tested with the help of GridSearchCV to obtain the best parameter configuration. The research evaluation showed that the XGBoost algorithm was able to provide the best performance with an accuracy of 0.8443, followed by the SVM algorithm with an RBF kernel, which achieved an accuracy of 0.8135. The AdaBoost algorithm came in third with an accuracy of 0.7868. These findings indicate that the boosting approach, especially XGBoost, is better able to handle complex language patterns and high-dimensional text data characteristics. Overall, this study provides an overview of public opinion trends on social media and can be used as a reference for the development of sentiment analysis models in future research.

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.
