Infectious diseases remain a dynamic and evolving public health threat, requiring data-driven approaches for early detection and targeted policy planning. This study aims to model spatio-temporal trends and clustering patterns of HIV transmission in Bogor Regency during the period 2020–2023 by utilizing a combination of unsupervised and supervised machine learning techniques. The dataset was obtained from the Bogor Regency Health Office and includes annual data on the number of HIV cases across 40 sub-districts. The research methodology consists of data preprocessing stages, clustering using the K-Means algorithm, and classification using a Decision Tree model. The preprocessing steps include data integration, attribute selection, temporal aggregation, handling of missing data, and normalization using Z-score. K-Means clustering is applied to identify hidden patterns in the development of HIV cases, resulting in three distinct clusters based on multi-year trends. The resulting cluster labels are then used as target classes in the supervised classification process. The Decision Tree classification model demonstrates high accuracy in predicting cluster membership, indicating a strong relationship between the temporal patterns of HIV cases and cluster identity. The integration of clustering and classification techniques provides a robust analytical framework for understanding the dynamics of HIV transmission, while also supporting the formulation of more precise, evidence-based, and region-specific public health interventions.

This study aims to analyze the factors that influence students' interest in continuing their education to college using a machine learning approach. Data was collected through an online questionnaire completed by 727 students between July 27 and August 22, 2025, covering 23 variables consisting of respondent identity (gender, grade level, major) as well as internal and external factors such as parental support, learning motivation, and preferred type of college. The data preparation stage was carried out through column cleaning, deletion of empty data, encoding of categorical variables, and division of the dataset into 80% training data and 20% test data. The Naive Bayes algorithm of the CategoricalNB type was used because it was suitable for the categorical nature of the data. The evaluation results showed that the model was able to predict student interest with 96% accuracy. For the class of students interested in continuing their studies, the precision, recall, and F1-score values were above 0.95, while the performance in the class of students who were not interested was slightly lower due to the smaller amount of data. These findings show that Naive Bayes is proven to be effective and reliable in classifying students' interest in continuing their studies and can be the basis for decision-making in designing more targeted educational strategies.
