Abstract

The concept of a smart city is the most important issue in the development aspect of big cities in the world. Where the city must promise a more comfortable, organized, healthy and efficient life. Smart transportation is part of a smart city that is useful for improving better urban planning. Smart transportation also applies to toll roads, such as automating toll road retribution payments. Automatic Toll Gate (GTO) in Indonesia still uses sensors. However, sensors often misclassify trailers. In addition, the use of sensors also requires additional costs in installation and maintenance. Currently, every toll gate is equipped with cameras for various purposes. By utilizing the camera for vehicle type classification, the cost of the GTO will be reduced. For this reason, utilizing a digital camera with computer vision for vehicle type classification is the solution. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) is the most popular technique today in solving computer vision problems. Exploit the existing CNN by replacing the last fully connected output according to the number of vehicle classes. The test results show that mobilenet V2 is better in the classification of vehicle types, the best accuracy is Alexnet 93.81% and Mobilenet 96.19%. Computer vision by utilizing CNN is expected to replace the use of sensors so that implementation costs are cheaper.

Abstract

Leaf area measurement is an important parameter in plant growth analysis because it is directly related to the photosynthesis process and biomass productivity. However, manual measurement methods are still destructive, time-consuming, and prone to errors due to variations in leaf morphology. This study aims to develop an actual leaf area measurement system based on Digital Image Processing using morphological operations that can work automatically, non-destructively, and in real-time. The research stages include image acquisition, preprocessing (grayscale and Gaussian blur), segmentation using the Otsu method, image enhancement with morphological operations, contour detection, and pixel-based area calculation converted to cm² units through a calibration process. Testing was carried out on 50 leaf samples consisting of perfect leaves, perforated leaves, and damaged leaves. The evaluation results showed an overall MAPE value of 22.20% with a system accuracy of 77.80%. The best performance was obtained in the perfect leaf category with an accuracy of 94.59%, followed by perforated leaves at 81.70%, while damaged leaves showed the lowest accuracy of 51.50%. These results indicate that the proposed method is effective on leaves with relatively intact shapes, but the level of accuracy is affected by morphological complexity and leaf contour irregularities

Abstract

Abstract−The development of Deep Learning has made significant contributions to the field of image classification, particularly through the use of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). However, one of the main problems in implementing CNN models is the suboptimal performance of the model due to inappropriate hyperparameter selection. Simple models such as LeNet are often considered to have limited performance compared to modern architectures, even though with the right approach, this model still has the potential to produce competitive performance. Therefore, this study aims to improve the performance of the LeNet model in image classification through a hyperparameter tuning approach. The methods used in this study include data preprocessing, dataset division, implementation of the LeNet model as a baseline, and hyperparameter optimization including learning rate, batch size, optimizer, and number of epochs. The dataset used is a handwritten number image that has been normalized and transformed to match the CNN model input. Model performance evaluation was carried out using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics. The results showed that hyperparameter optimization provided a significant performance improvement over the LeNet model. The baseline model produced an accuracy of 97.52%, while the best optimized model achieved an accuracy of 98.93%. Furthermore, precision, recall, and F1-score values ​​also improved, indicating the model's improved and more balanced classification capabilities. Thus, this study demonstrates that hyperparameter optimization is an effective approach to improving the performance of simple CNN models without increasing architectural complexity.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the increasing security needs of school digital services, while the management and configuration of systems on several school websites still has the potential to cause security gaps. The purpose of this study is to analyze and compare the security level of SMK At-Tamimi's website with InfinityFree hosting and recommend the most relevant improvements. The method used is non-destructive penetration testing with a comparative descriptive approach, through the stages of footprinting, scanning-fingerprinting, vulnerability verification, and reporting. The test was carried out on two school websites, namely SMK At-Tamimi and MAN 2 Situbondo, using the ZAP by Checkmarx application and supporting checks on the website security configuration. The test results show the difference in risk levels between websites. Both websites generate 9 alerts. The SMK At-Tamimi website contains 1 finding of High risk (11.1%), 2 Medium (22.2%), 2 Low (22.2%), and 4 Informational (44.4%), while MAN 2 Situbondo does not contain High (0%) findings, with 2 Medium (22.2%), 4 Low (44.4%), and 3 Informational (33.3%). The MAN 2 Situbondo website has the highest level of security because there are no indications of high-risk vulnerabilities as well as better configuration. The SMK At-Tamimi website is in a lower security position compared to its comparative website, because there is an indication of Cloud Metadata Potentially Exposed, but it is not accompanied by proof of access that can be validated within the test limit. The findings of the study indicate the need to strengthen the security configuration of school websites through the implementation of HTTPS/SSL, the addition of security headers, and regular system updates. Additionally, the use of paid hosting can be an alternative to gaining broader control over security configurations and reducing the risk of security misconfiguration.

Abstract

This study aims to group students' level of learning interest based on the intensity of playing online games using the K-Means Clustering algorithm. The issue being addressed is the increasing activity of gaming, which can potentially affect students' learning behavior, but there hasn't been a structured mapping of student characteristics yet. The data used comes from questionnaires filled out by 65 respondents with 6 main variables, including playing frequency, playing duration, playing time, and learning interest indicators. The method used is K-Means with steps of preprocessing, normalization using StandardScaler, and testing the number of clusters using the Elbow method. The study results show that the optimal number of clusters is 3, with a silhouette score of 0.323 and a Davies-Bouldin Index of 1.465. It produced three groups, namely: (1) low learning interest, (2) medium learning interest, and (3) high learning interest. The clustering results showed that the majority of students were in the Medium Learning Interest category with 37 students (56.92%), followed by Low Learning Interest with 16 students (24.62%), and High Learning Interest with 12 students (18.46%). The silhouette score yielded a value of 0.323303, indicating a fairly good cluster structure. This study shows that most students are in a medium condition, meaning they still play games without significantly affecting their learning interest. The contribution of this research is providing a data-based approach to categorize students' learning interest levels related to online gaming activities, and it also serves as a basis for schools to design more effective monitoring and educational strategies. The research provides a mapping of student characteristics based on data that can be used as a basis for making decisions in academic guidance.

Abstract

Learning motivation is a key factor in determining students' success in the educational process. Innovative learning methods are believed to increase motivation through interactive and engaging approaches. However, identifying the level of student motivation based on learning activities still becomes a challenge. This study aims to classify the influence of innovative learning on student motivation using the Naïve Bayes algorithm. The research method applies the CRISP-DM framework, which consists of business understanding, data understanding, data preparation, modeling, evaluation, and deployment. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and literature studies conducted at MTS Guppi Pagar Alam. The dataset consists of 70 students with attributes including teaching methods, learning media, classroom interaction, task creativity, and learning independence. The classification process divides data into training (80%) and testing (20%) sets. The results show that the Naïve Bayes model achieves an accuracy of 87%, indicating that the algorithm performs effectively in classifying student motivation levels. The findings reveal that classroom interaction and task creativity significantly influence learning motivation. This study contributes to providing insights for educators in designing more effective and adaptive learning strategies.

Abstract

Backpropagation is one of the artificial neural network algorithms widely used in classification and prediction processes due to its ability to recognize data patterns accurately. However, the performance of this algorithm is highly influenced by the quality of the input data. Unstructured data, differences in data scales, missing values, and irrelevant features can reduce the model’s accuracy. This study aims to analyze the effect of integrating data pre-processing strategies to optimize the accuracy of the Backpropagation algorithm. The dataset used in this research was obtained from the Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) in the form of Open Unemployment Rate data for the population aged 15 years and above in North Sumatra Province from 2019 to 2024. The applied pre-processing stages included data cleaning, normalization, missing value handling, and feature reduction. The research method was conducted by comparing the model testing results using standard pre-processing and partial pre-processing on several network architectures. The results showed that the implementation of pre-processing strategies was able to improve the performance of the Backpropagation model. The highest accuracy value was obtained in the 3-56-1 architecture with an increase from 80.00% to 85.88%. In addition to improving accuracy, the model training process became more stable and the error convergence was achieved faster. Therefore, the integration of data pre-processing strategies has proven to be effective in optimizing the accuracy of the Backpropagation algorithm for numerical data-based prediction problems

Abstract

The Cash on Delivery (COD) service provided by the Shopee e-commerce platform often elicits a large volume of user reviews that exhibit unconventional language structures, prompting the need for a precise and automated sentiment analysis mechanism. This research endeavor seeks to categorize sentiments expressed in Shopee reviews as either positive or negative by leveraging the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm, which has been fine-tuned using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). A key obstacle in text analysis lies in the vast feature space, which can impair model efficacy. Thus, PSO is utilized as a feature selection technique to identify the most pertinent set of terms from the TF-IDF feature extraction. The findings reveal that the integration of PSO successfully decreased feature dimensionality by 45% from the initial set of 1,000 features. Despite the substantial reduction in features, the SVM-PSO model achieved an enhanced accuracy of 81.21%, surpassing the baseline model's 78.79%. With an AUC value of 0.845, it is evident that the model retains stability and effectiveness in discerning sentiment even with a considerably reduced feature set. This investigation illustrates the efficacy of PSO optimization in eliminating extraneous features and refining the model's focus on sentiment-carrying vocabulary.
