Lama studi dari mahasiswa ini sangatlah penting bagi mahasiswa, program studi serta perguruan tinggi. Permasalahan lama studi setiap mahasiswa bisa disebabkan atau dipengaruhi oleh banyak faktor. Hal tersebut telah dibuktikan dengan beberapa penelitian pada permasalahan tersebut yang mendapati sejumlah faktor yang berpengatuh terhadap lama studi mahasiswa. Dengan menggunakan teknik data mining khususnya klasifikasi untuk prediksi dengan algoritma naive bayes dapat dilakukan prediksi terhadap ketepatan waktu studi dari mahasiswa berdasarkan data training yang ada. Data training dan testing yang digunakan diambil secara random pada tabel data master yang digunakan. Algoritma naive bayes, menghitung perbandingan peluang antara jumlah dari masing-masng kriteria nilai fields terhadap nilai hasil prediksi sesunggunya. Fungsi untuk prediksi dibuat menggunakan Query pada MySql dalam bentuk function(fbayesian). Dari hasil uji coba diperoleh tingkat kesalahan prediksi berkisar 20% sampai dengan 50% dengan data training dan testing yang diambil secara random. Namun rata-rata tingkat kesalahan berkisar 20 % hingga 34%. Tinggi rendahnya tingkat kesalahan dapat disebabkan oleh jumlah record data dan tingkat konsistensi dari data training yang dgunakan. Sedangkan hasil prediksi dari ketepatan lama studi dari mahasiswa angkatan 2008 adalah sebesar 254 mahasiswa diprediksi ”Tepat Waktu” dan sisanya yaitu 4 orang diprediksi ”Tidak Tepat Waktu”.   Kata Kunci : Prediksi, Lama Studi, Data Mining, Naive bayes, MySql

Salah satu cara yang paling berhasil untuk mengorganisasikan informasi dalam jumlah banyak dan dapat dipahami oleh para pencari informasi adalah dengan melakukan klasifikasi dokumen berdasarkan topiknya. Kebutuhan akan dokumen pembelajaran untuk melakukan klasifikasi dokumen merupakan salah satu permasalahan yang sering muncul dalam topik klasifikasi dokumen. Permasalahan yang timbul menjadi semakin rumit dengan adanya fakta bahwa jumlah simpanan data berita menjadi sangat besar dan tidak terorganisir. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan suatu strategi pengelompokan otomatis dokumen-dokumen berita tersebut. Klasifikasi merupakan salah satu metode dalam data mining yang bertujuan untuk mendefinisikan kelas dari sebuah objek yang belum diketahui kelasnya. Pada klasifikasi terlebih dahulu akan dilakukan proses training dan testing. Pada proses tersebut akan digunakan dataset yang telah diketahui kelas objeknya. Pada penelitian ini akan dibangun aplikasi Klasifikasi Berita Menggunakan Ontologi. Obyek penelitian dari penelitian ini adalah artikel berita berbahasa Indonesia dari situs http://www.google.com Dengan adanya klasifikasi dokumen maka hasil download berita dari situs http://www.google.com dapat lebih terstruktur sehingga untuk mendapatkan informasi lebih cepat dan relevan sesuai dengan yang diinginkan.
