The material offered on social media platforms Twitter and YouTube is likewise quite diversified. Therefore, an automatic approach for topic detection is required, such as Mini Batch K-means Clustering, which facilitates user access to information. This study employs the Mini Batch method, which utilizes just a limited set of data for the clustering procedure. Based on testing with the Sum of Squared Error, this study's clustering results for tweet data including the phrase Community Activities Restrictions Enforcement (CARE) produced 12 cluster groups. The clustering results will be represented using Word Cloud, and the system will display the percentage of words based on Word Cloud.
