Abstract

Purpose: Music is an artistic expression with many categories in various genres and styles, characterized by its melodic and harmonic compositions. Music genre classification is crucial because genres serve as descriptors commonly used to organize large music collections, especially on the internet and in widely used applications like JOOX and Spotify. The aim of this research is to implement the Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) feature extraction method to generate numerical features from a set of specific music tracks. This collection of information will then be classified using machine learning. Methods: The method used in this study begins with combining the "GTZAN Dataset - Music Genre Classification" with additional data from TikTok and YouTube. The total dataset consists of 1,200 audio files, divided into 12 classes. The MFCC extraction process generates numerical representations of acoustic characteristics, which are then processed using Artificial Neural Networks. Result: The experiments demonstrate that increasing the amount of data is crucial, as it can enhance both variation and accuracy. The average accuracy achieved in this study is 91.42%, while the highest accuracy reaches 92.16%. These findings indicate that this study outperforms previous studies. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in the integration of dynamic social media data (TikTok and YouTube) to enrich the standard GTZAN dataset, the repetition of the MFCC feature extraction process, and the combination of MFCC with Artificial Neural Networks (ANN).

Abstract

Purpose: Dukcapil Banjarbaru is an online-based government agency application used for various public services. According to the complaint report from Disdukcapil Banjarbaru, several users have reported similar problems and difficulties. The application has received a rating of 3.3 stars from approximately 24.000 users on the Google Play Store. Therefore, researchers conducted a user experience analysis using the UEQ methods and a usability evaluation using the SUS methods. Methods: This research analyzes user experience in applications using the UEQ to identify issues faced by users and evaluate usability through the System Usability Scale. The UEQ method is chosen for its efficiency and simplicity in assessing user experience within an application. The SUS method is employed because it is an effective approach for obtaining reliable statistical data and generating clear and accurate scores. Result: The UEQ benchmark results show that the scales for Attractiveness (1.59), Efficiency (1.68), Accuracy (1.66), and Stimulation (1.54) are categorized as "Good." The scales for clarity (1.37) and novelty (0.80) are classified as "Above Average." Meanwhile, the SUS score of 65 positions the application within the "acceptable" category for the acceptability range, the "D" category on the grade scale, and the "OK" category for adjective ratings. This indicates that while the Banjarbaru Dukcapil application has good usability, it requires improvements based on the total SUS score, which reveals several critical areas with scores below the average (258.4). Novelty: In this research, solutions for improvements are provided to Disdukcapil based on each aspect to improve the quality of the application, thereby offering better services to users.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to enhance the detection of trademark image similarity by conducting a comparative analysis of various Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures within Siamese networks, integrated with test-time augmentation techniques. Existing methods often face challenges in accurately capturing subtle visual similarities between trademarks due to limitations in feature extraction and generalization capabilities. The research seeks to identify the most effective CNN architecture for this task and to assess the impact of test-time augmentation on model performance. Methods: The study implements Siamese networks utilizing three distinct CNN architectures: VGG16, VGG19, and ResNet50. Each network is trained on a dataset of trademark images to learn deep feature representations that can discriminate between similar and dissimilar trademarks. During the evaluation phase, test-time augmentation (TTA) is applied to enhance model robustness by averaging predictions over multiple augmented versions of the input images. TTA includes transformations such as random rotations (up to 40%), width and height shifts (up to 20%), random shear transformations, zooming (up to 20%), horizontal and vertical flips, and random brightness adjustments. Result: Experimental findings reveal that the Siamese network based on VGG19 achieves the highest accuracy at 98.82%, outperforming the VGG16-based network with an accuracy of 97.07% and the ResNet50-based network with 50.00% accuracy. The application of TTA has improved performance across all models, with the VGG19 model receiving the highest improvement. The extremely low accuracy of ResNet50 can be attributed to its misinterpretation of original trademark images as close-forged ones, probably due to overfitting or lack of an efficient ability in generalizing very fine visual features. Novelty: The study conducted a comparative analysis of CNN architectures, namely VGG16, VGG19, and ResNet50 in Siamese networks for trademark image similarity detection.

Abstract

Purpose: The problem of imbalanced datasets often affects the performance of classification models for prediction, one of which is credit risk prediction in P2P lending. To overcome this problem, several data balancing models have been applied in the existing literature. However, existing research only evaluates performance based on classification model performance. Thus, in addition to measuring the performance of classification models, this study involves the contribution of the performance of data balancing models including Random Oversampling (ROS), Random Undersampling (RUS), and Synthetic Minority Oversampling (SMOTE). Methods: This research uses the Lending Club dataset with an imbalanced ratio (IR) of 4.098, and 2 classifiers such as LightGBM and XGBoost, as well as 10 cross-validation to assess the performance of the data balancing model including Random Oversampling (ROS), Random Undersampling (RUS), and Synthetic Minority Oversampling (SMOTE). Then the model is evaluated using the metrics of accuracy, recall, precision, and F1-score. Result: The research results show that SMOTE has superior performance as a data balancing model in P2P lending, with an accuracy of the LightGBM+SMOTE model of 92.56% and the XGBoost+SMOTE model of 92.32%, where this performance is better than other models. Novelty: This research concludes that SMOTE as a data balancing model to improve credit risk prediction in P2P lending has superior performance. Apart from that, in this case, we find that the larger the data size used as a model training sample, the superior performance obtained by the classification model in predicting credit risk in P2P lending.
