Analisis sentimen program makan bergizi gratis menggunakan bidirectional gated recurrent unit

The Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program launched by the Indonesian government aims to address the problem of malnutrition in children and students. However, the acceptance of this program in the community still requires in-depth evaluation because there are many negative sentiments that dominate on social media. This study aims to analyze the sentiment of the Indonesian community regarding the Free Nutritious Meals program on social media X (Twitter) using the Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (BiGRU) model. Of the 1,405 tweet data obtained, 57% were negative opinions and 43% were positive opinions. The evaluation results show that the BiGRU model with FastText support to handle potential overfitting, is able to classify sentiment effectively, with an accuracy of 80%. Sentiment analysis shows that the majority of public responses to the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program tend to be negative, with 798 negative tweets and 607 positive. This reflects public dissatisfaction with the implementation of the program and highlights the need for evaluation and improvements so that the benefits can be more widely felt by the community.
