Abstract

The Sundanese script (Aksara Sunda), an essential part of Sundanese cultural heritage, has been used since the 14th century AD. However, recognizing handwritten Sundanese characters remains challenging due to variations in individual writing styles. This study compares the performance of Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN) and Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) for recognizing handwritten Sundanese vowel (Swara) characters. A dataset was collected from 15 individuals, each writing seven Sundanese vowel characters, which were then used for training and testing the recognition models. Experimental results show that BPNN outperforms LVQ, achieving a higher classification accuracy (95.23%), lower Mean Squared Error (MSE), and faster convergence compared to LVQ, which reached a maximum accuracy of 66.66%. Additionally, BPNN demonstrated better generalization and robustness. At the same time, LVQ was highly sensitive to learning rate variations, leading to unstable accuracy and slower training times. The findings highlight that BPNN is a more effective model for Sundanese script recognition, providing a reliable approach for preserving and digitizing traditional scripts. Future research should explore hybrid models, deep learning approaches, and larger datasets to enhance recognition accuracy and system robustness.

Abstract

This study evaluates the accuracy of the Neighbor Weighted K-Nearest Neighbor (NWKNN) method in classifying the anxiety levels of final-year students as they prepare to enter the workforce, particularly in cases of unbalanced data distribution. The system was developed using the prototype method, and NWKNN was applied to classify anxiety levels into low, medium, and high categories. Testing using the Confusion Matrix demonstrated strong performance, achieving an accuracy of 94% based on a dataset of 1009 students, with a 90:10 ratio of training to test data. The results indicate that NWKNN effectively provides classification input values, making it a reliable tool for early detection of work-related anxiety. By identifying students with high anxiety levels, this approach can support targeted interventions to help students manage stress, improve self-confidence, and enhance their preparedness for the job market. The application of NWKNN in mental health classification thus holds significant potential in assisting universities and career counseling services in developing proactive strategies to mitigate anxiety and support students’ psychological well-being.

Abstract

Buleleng Regency, located in Bali Province, possesses diverse village potential, including agricultural production and tourist attractions. However, this potential has not been fully optimized. Therefore, it is important to enhance village potential by clustering villages based on their specific characteristics to identify and prioritize those requiring special attention. This approach aims to promote equitable village development and reduce poverty levels. This study clusters villages in Buleleng Regency based on their potential using the Hierarchical Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (HDBSCAN) method. The data utilized in this study comprises village potential data obtained from the Buleleng Regency Statistics Office (BPS) for all districts and the Statistical Service Information System. The variables used in this study are based on aspects of population, communication, tourism, trade, health, religion, social affairs, and public welfare. Tuning parameters were performed to determine the optimal parameters, resulting in optimal parameters, such as minimum cluster size = five and minimum samples = 2, which produced two main clusters. The first cluster comprises six villages, while the second includes 118 villages. Additionally, a noise cluster representing outliers, consisting of 24 villages, was identified. The findings indicate that the first cluster exhibits higher village potential than the second cluster. Based on these results, it is recommended that the government prioritize the second cluster when designing and implementing targeted programs and policies to reduce poverty by developing village potential.

Abstract

This study addresses the critical role of medical image classification in enhancing healthcare effectiveness and tackling the challenges of imbalanced medical datasets. It focuses on optimizing classification performance by integrating Canny edge detection for segmentation and Hu-moment feature extraction and applying oversampling and undersampling techniques. Five diverse medical datasets were utilized, covering Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, COVID-19, brain tumours, and lung cancer. The K-Nearest Neighbors (K-NN) algorithm was implemented to enhance classification accuracy, aiming to develop a more robust framework for medical image analysis. The evaluation, conducted using cross-validation, demonstrated notable improvements in key metrics. Specifically, oversampling significantly enhanced lung cancer detection accuracy, while undersampling contributed to balanced performance gains in the COVID-19 class. Metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, provided insights into the model’s effectiveness. These findings highlight the positive impact of data balancing techniques on K-NN performance in imbalanced medical image classification. Continued research is essential to refine these techniques and improve medical diagnostics.

Abstract

Dental X-ray imaging is a critical diagnostic tool for identifying various dental anomalies. However, manual interpretation is time-consuming, prone to human error, and requires specialized expertise. Deep learning models, particularly object detection frameworks like YOLO, have demonstrated promising results in automating medical image analysis. This study aims to develop and evaluate a YOLOv8-based deep learning model for automated detection and classification of 14 dental anomaly categories, including Caries, Crowns, Fillings, Implants, and Periapical lesions. The proposed approach addresses limitations in previous YOLO versions by leveraging anchor-free detection and enhanced feature extraction for improved accuracy. The model was trained on a dataset of annotated dental X-ray images and preprocessed with data augmentation techniques to improve generalization. Performance was evaluated using Precision, Recall, F1-score, and Mean Average Precision (mAP). Additional insights were obtained from confusion matrices, precision-recall curves, and training-validation loss curves. The model achieved high precision in detecting Implants (0.90), Crowns (0.89), and Root Canal Treatment (0.69), demonstrating strong potential for clinical applications. However, Caries (0.30) and Periapical lesions (0.15) were detected with lower accuracy, indicating the need for further optimization. Analysis of training loss curves and label distributions suggested that class imbalance and anomaly co-occurrence influenced detection performance. YOLOv8 presents a promising AI-based solution for dental anomaly detection, capable of improving diagnostic efficiency and accuracy in clinical practice. The model’s integration into dental healthcare systems can reduce radiologists' workload and enhance early disease detection, particularly in resource-limited settings.

Abstract

The growing demands for accurate and efficient methods in the Qur'an recitation classification highlight the limitations of existing models, particularly in assisting the memorization process. This study aims to address these challenges by implementing the AlexNet Convolutional Neural Network architecture, widely recognized for its effectiveness in image classification, to classify the Qur'an recitations using the Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) as the feature extraction method. The research involves several stages, including data collection, preprocessing (audio segmentation by verse), data augmentation, feature extraction, and classification using the AlexNet architecture, followed by performance evaluation. Key results demonstrate that the combination of MFCC and AlexNet yields promising accuracy in classifying Surah Al-Ikhlas recitations, suggesting its potential application for automatic reading correction. This approach significantly improves over traditional methods, contributing to more effective tools for Qur'an memorization assistance. Future work could explore its application in other significant improvement contexts and address potential challenges related to varying audio quality.

Abstract

Movie reviews are crucial in determining a film's success by influencing audience decisions. Automating sentiment classification is essential for efficient public opinion analysis. However, it faces challenges such as high-dimensional data and imbalanced class distributions. This study addresses these issues by applying manifold learning techniques, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Laplacian Eigenmaps (LE) to reduce data complexity and undersampling strategies (Random Undersampling (RUS) and EasyEnsemble) to balance data and improve predictions for both sentiment classes. On reviews of The Raid 2: Berandal, EasyEnsemble achieved the highest average G-Mean of 0.694 using Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF IDF) features with a linear kernel without dimensionality reduction. RUS provided balanced but inconsistent results, while Review of Systems (ROS) combined with PCA (85% variance cumulative) improved predictions for negative reviews. Laplacian Eigenmaps were effective for negative reviews with 500 dimensions but less accurate for positive ones. This study highlights EasyEnsemble's superior performance in addressing the class imbalance, though optimization with manifold learning remains challenging.

Abstract

Arabica coffee beans have valuable market worth because of their taste and quality, and there are defects like wholly and partially black beans that can lower the standards of a product, especially in the premium coffee sector. However, the manual processes used to detect the defects take an inordinate amount of time and are inefficient. This study aims to bridge the knowledge gap on the automated detection and recognition of the defects present in the Arabica coffee beans by creating and optimizing a CNN model based on a modified VGG16 architecture. The model applies data augmentation, rotation, cropping, and Bayesian hyperparameter optimization to improve defect detectability and expedite the training period. During testing, the defined model demonstrated excellent efficiency in defect detection, with a 97.29% confidence level, which was higher than that of the modified VGG16 and Slim-CNN models. The goal of the second optimization was an improvement of the practical application of the model. In terms of the time it takes for a model to be trained, approximately 30% of the time was saved. These findings present a consistent and effective way for the mass production processes of coffee to have quality control procedures automated. The model's ability to detect defects in other agricultural items makes it attractive, thus serving as a practical example of how AI can impact effective management in the inspection processes. The research further enriches the study of deep learning applications in agriculture by demonstrating how to efficiently address specific defect detection problems through an optimized convolutional neural network model.
