Penerapan Metode Support Vector Machines (SVM) dan Metode Naïve Bayes Classifier (NBC) dalam Analisis Sentimen Publik terhadap Konsep Child-free di Media Sosial Twitter

Abstract

Child-free is a concept in which a person chooses not to have children or places and situations that are without the presence of a child. The application of child-free itself is not something new but is commonplace in many developed countries. Along with the rapid flow of information, this child-free concept began to be discussed virally, especially on Indonesian social media, such as Twitter. People’s views on this concept are certainly diverse, some agree and some disagree. Sentiment analysis is the mining of all people’s expressions and views on a phenomenon or product online in the form of text. Through a large sample collection of opinions and expressions, we can capture the voices or views of society, understand the dynamics that are taking place, and even know the extent to which the issue begins to touch aspects of people’s social life. This study aims to conduct sentiment analysis by comparing the performance of two different methods used to classify people’s views in the form of text data crawled tweets from Twitter. The two methods compared are Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Naive Bayes Classifier (NBC). Another purpose of this study is to provide an overview of public sentiment on social media Twitter about the concept of child-free. The results of this study showed that the data experienced an imbalance so to overcome it used SMOTE, SMOTE managed to increase the sensitivity of the prediction of minor data. The classification method that produces better predictions using the F1-weighted average criteria is SMOTE-SVM by reaching 95.639% for training data and 60.45% for testing data. The opinions that support child-free mostly have to do with parents' unpreparedness to take care of children, while opinions that reject child-free think that it is contrary to Islam and child-free decisions will make it difficult for old age because no one takes care of them.
