According to academic data, student math ability tests at MTSS PAB 5 Klambir Lima yield mixed results. There are students who understand math well, but there are also those who have difficulty understanding the mathematical concepts themselves. Math teachers at this school have difficulty designing lessons that can meet the needs of students with different levels of understanding. So, it is necessary to group student data to produce educational decision-making and improve learning effectiveness, such as through data mining. Data mining is a semi-automated process that uses machine learning techniques, mathematics, statistics, and artificial intelligence to identify and organize information contained in large databases. The process of finding information can be done by determining the decision rule based based on the level of student understanding in mathematics lessons using the Decision Tree Algorithm C4.5 method.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an innovative technology that makes our environment smarter, with IoT devices as an integral part of home automation. Smart home systems are becoming increasingly popular as an IoT service in the home that connects via a network. Due to the security weakness of many devices, the malware is targeting IoT devices. After being infected with malicious attacks on smart devices, they act like bots that the intruders can control. Machine learning methods can assist in improving the attack detection process for these devices. However, the irrelevant features raise the computation time as well as affect the detection accuracy in the processing with many features. We proposed a machine learning-based IoT security framework using feature correlation. The feature extraction scheme, one-hot feature encoding, correlation feature selection, and attack detection implement an active detection mechanism. The results show that the implemented framework is not only for effective detection but also for lightweight performance. The proposed system outperforms the results with the selected features, which have almost 100% detection accuracy. It is also approved that the proposed system using CART is more suitable in terms of processing time and detection accuracy.
