Integrating Information Gain methods for Feature Selection in Distance Education Sentiment Analysis during Covid-19

Sentiment analysis is a way to automatically understand and process text data to figure out how someone feels about an opinion sentence. If there are too many reviews, it will take a lot of time and they will start to be biased. Sentiment classification tries to solve this problem by putting user reviews into groups based on whether they are positive, negative, or neutral. The dataset comes from Drone Emprit Academic. It is made up of tweets with the words "online learning method" in them, with as many as 4887 data crawled from them. Information Gain and adaboost on the C4.5 (FS+C4.5) method are used in the feature selection method. We use feature options to get rid of bias and improve accuracy. The results of the experiments will be compared to other algorithms like C4.5 and random forest. Based on the results, the accuracy of the two standard decision tree models (C4.5 and random forest) went up from 48.21% and 50.35% to 94.47 %. The value of how accurate it was went up by 44 percent. The FS+C4.5 model, on the other hand, has an RMSE of 0.204 and a correlation of 0.944. So, adding the feature selection technique to the sentiment analysis of bold learning education can make the C4.5 algorithm even more accurate © 2023 Syamsu Rijal et al;published by UIKTEN.

Comparison of Naïve Bayes, C4.5 and K-Nearest Neighbor for Covid-19 Data Classification

Covid-19 is a new virus that appeared in the city of Wuhan in 2019. This virus spreads very quickly even to Indonesia. One effort that can be done to detect the presence of this virus is the PCR and antigen test. Increasing this case resulted in a medical team having difficulty detecting suspects exposed to viruses. This research was conducted to find the best classification algorithm in predicting and classifying status on the suspected Covid-19 both exposed or not exposed. The method used in this study is Naïve Bayes, C4.5 and K-Nearest Neighbor which have very high accuracy using secondary data from the Dumai City Health Agency. From this study it was found that the algorithm C4.5 as the best algorithm in predicting the status of COVID-19 patients, especially in the city of Dumai with an accuracy of 86.54%, recall 71.51%and precision 85.14%. This study has implications for further researchers in choosing an algorithm to predict the COVID-19 case. © 2022 IEEE.

Implementation of the C4.5 algorithm for micro, small, and medium enterprises classification

The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has spread to various countries including Indonesia. Thus, implementing large-scale social restrictions (Bahasa: Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB)) has resulted in the paralysis of the economy in Indonesia. including micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) have decreased turnover and even went out of business. The Department of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Pesawaran Regency, Lampung, oversees 3,808 MSMEs, whose development should be monitored as a basis for determining policies. However, there are problems in classifying MSMEs according to their categories because they have to check the existing data one by one, so it takes a long time. Therefore, this study proposed the C4.5 algorithm to solve this problem. In addition, this research compared with the naïve Bayes algorithm to find out which algorithm had a good performance and is suitable for this case. The results showed that 91% of MSMEs were included in the micro category, 8% was in a small category, and 1% was in the medium category. Based on the results, it explained that the C4.5 algorithm was bigger than naïve Bayes with a difference in the value of 3.79%. It had an accuracy value of 99.2%. Meanwhile, naive Bayes was 95.41%. © 2022 Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science. All rights reserved.

Application of machine learning models based on decision trees in classifying the factors affecting mortality of COVID-19 patients in Hamadan, Iran.

BACKGROUND: Due to the high mortality of COVID-19 patients, the use of a high-precision classification model of patient's mortality that is also interpretable, could help reduce mortality and take appropriate action urgently. In this study, the random forest method was used to select the effective features in COVID-19 mortality and the classification was performed using logistic model tree (LMT), classification and regression tree (CART), C4.5, and C5.0 tree based on important features. METHODS: In this retrospective study, the data of 2470 COVID-19 patients admitted to hospitals in Hamadan, west Iran, were used, of which 75.02% recovered and 24.98% died. To classify, at first among the 25 demographic, clinical, and laboratory findings, features with a relative importance more than 6% were selected by random forest. Then LMT, C4.5, C5.0, and CART trees were developed and the accuracy of classification performance was evaluated with recall, accuracy, and F1-score criteria for training, test, and total datasets. At last, the best tree was developed and the receiver operating characteristic curve and area under the curve (AUC) value were reported. RESULTS: The results of this study showed that among demographic and clinical features gender and age, and among laboratory findings blood urea nitrogen, partial thromboplastin time, serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate had more than 6% relative importance. Developing the trees using the above features revealed that the CART with the values of F1-score, Accuracy, and Recall, 0.8681, 0.7824, and 0.955, respectively, for the test dataset and 0.8667, 0.7834, and 0.9385, respectively, for the total dataset had the best performance. The AUC value obtained for the CART was 79.5%. CONCLUSIONS: Finding a highly accurate and qualified model for interpreting the classification of a response that is considered clinically consequential is critical at all stages, including treatment and immediate decision making. In this study, the CART with its high accuracy for diagnosing and classifying mortality of COVID-19 patients as well as prioritizing important demographic, clinical, and laboratory findings in an interpretable format, risk factors for prognosis of COVID-19 patients mortality identify and enable immediate and appropriate decisions for health professionals and physicians.

Network Intrusion Detection Models based on Naives Bayes and C4.5 Algorithms

All around the world, the rapid spread of the pandemic (COVID-19) has brought an enormous challenge, especially to the ICT industry. The total lockdown which prevailed had increased the use of the internet, which is a challenge to safety and security. Thus, an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is needed to maintain this emergence of the boundless communication paradigm. This paper proposed an optimized Network IDS by applying two machine learning algorithms in intrusion dataset and feature selection techniques to optimize the IDS model. The viability of this work is shown by comparing, the result of the model with existing work. The decision tree applied outperformed the Naïve Bayes algorithm with 89.27% and 75.09% accuracy, respectively. © 2022 IEEE.

Factors of the Decrease in Student's Interest in Learning During the Covid-19 Pandemic Using the C4.5 Method

The implementation of learning in Indonesia in the face of the Covid-19 period requires teachers to continue to play an active role in increasing student interest in learning. Muzdalifah Special School is a school that provides learning facilities for children with special needs. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Muzdalifah Special School implemented Learning from Home, but there were obstacles in the learning process causing several changes to students which ultimately affected the decrease in interest in learning for SLB students. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors causing the decline in student interest in learning by using the C4.5 method. Sources of research data obtained through interviews and giving questionnaires to parents of students. The attributes used in determining the factors causing the decline in student interest in learning include: Learning Media, Parental Attention, Study Time, Conditions and Understanding. From the calculation results, the Parental Attention attribute is an attribute that affects the decrease in student interest in learning. The test was carried out using the Rapidminer tool with an accuracy value of 83.33%.
