Classification Appropriateness Recipient Help Non-Cash Food Using Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) Method

Abstract

Help Non-Cash Food is a program from the Government that is used to overcome poverty. The program is not functioning as well as it could because the procedure of receiving aid is not uniform, and individuals responsible for making choices are having trouble determining which families are qualified to receive the assistance. To overcome this problem, a classification system is needed to classify the eligibility of Non-Cash Food Assistance recipients so that the results are more efficient and accurate. This research uses the Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) method with Python. This research aims to implement the LVQ method for the eligibility classification of non-cash food assistance recipients. System design is a stage that contains the process from start to finish of running this system which is described in the form of a flowchart, including system requirements that support this research, both software and hardware. In the process of analyzing the results and tests that are used as evaluation material in the process of finding a solution to a problem and making decisions in the process of planning activities, it is necessary to assess whether or not the LVQ approach is practicable to apply based on the findings of the research. In this study, 200 datasets were used with three epoch values and a learning rate of 0.1. The data set was randomly divided into a training portion of 80% and a testing portion of 20%. So that the results of this research using the LVQ method on the eligibility classification of recipients of Non-Cash Food Assistance obtain an accuracy of 97.5%.
