Obtaining high-quality, diverse, accurate datasets for sentiment analysis has always been a significant challenge. Traditional approaches include annotators, which may introduce bias to datasets and are also time-consuming and expensive. These types of datasets may also not represent the variety needed to train robust and generalizable sentiment analysis models. This study introduces a novel combination of techniques to approach the problem with a novel solution. The proposed system, SentiGEN includes the use of a transformer, T5, fine-tuned and optimized using an evolutionary algorithm to generate high-quality, diverse, accurate data for sentiment analysis. The generated data is validated using XLNet to ensure high sentiment accuracy. This combination of technologies has proven successful based on the results derived from evaluating multiple models. From complex transformers such as BERT to more straightforward approaches like KNN, those trained using synthetic data demonstrated superior performance compared to their counterparts trained on real data. This enhancement in predictive accuracy was observed when evaluated on benchmark datasets such as SST-2 and Yelp. SentiGEN can generate high-quality, diverse, accurate, realistic data for sentiment analysis and successfully increased the performance of models trained on synthetic data compared to the same model trained on real data.

Based on the Man 2 Tapanuli Tengah researchers' observations, it was shown that teaching at Aqidah Akhlak was constrained by students' low motivation to learn. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the causes of students' low motivation to learn Akida Aflaq. The reasons for the low learning motivation of Akida-Aklak students are that teachers still use traditional models, students get bored quickly because teachers do not use media effectively in learning, and students do not participate actively in learning because they do not have the courage to discuss or express their opinions during learning. Various learning models and methods, such as the Student Times Achievement Division learning model, can be applied to these problems to motivate students to learn. This study is an experimental study aimed at checking some things and confirming their results in order to test something. Data collection techniques can also be measured using questionnaires, validity tests, reliability tests, etc. Therefore, the obtained research results show that the learning model is not correctly applied by the teachers when learning, so that the students with Akida-Aklak have low learning motivation, get bored easily, and lack the courage to discuss and express their opinions during learning. To overcome this problem, it is very important to pay attention to the models and media used for learning so that teachers can adequately achieve the learning objectives.
