Skin is the largest organ in humans, it functions as the outermost protector of the organs inside. Therefore, the skin is often attacked by various diseases, especially cancer. Skin cancer is divided into two, namely benign and malignant. Malignant has the potential to spread and increase the risk of death. Skin cancer detection traditionally involves time-consuming laboratory tests to determine malignancy or benignity. Therefore, there is a demand for computer-assisted diagnosis through image analysis to expedite disease identification and classification. This study proposes to use the K-nearest neighbor (KNN) classifier and Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) to classify these two types of skin cancer. Apart from that, the average filter is also used for preprocessing. The analysis was carried out comprehensively by carrying out 480 experiments on the ISIC dataset. Dataset variations were also carried out using random sampling techniques to test on smaller datasets, where experiments were carried out on 3297, 1649, 825, and 210 images. Several KNN parameters, namely the number of neighbors (k)=1 and distance (d)=1 to 3 were tested at angles 0, 45, 90, and 135. Maximum accuracy results were 79.24%, 79.39%, 83.63%, and 100% for respectively 3297, 1649, 825, and 210. These findings show that the KNN method is more effective in working on smaller datasets, besides that the use of the average filter also has a significant contribution in increasing the accuracy.

Phishing is a crime that uses social engineering techniques, both in deceptive statements and technically, to steal consumers' personal identification data and financial account credentials. With the new Phishing machine learning approach, websites can be recognized in real-time. K-Nearest Neighbor(KNN) and Naïve Bayes (NB) are popular machine learning approaches. KNN and NB have their own strengths and weaknesses. By combining the two, deficiencies can be covered. So this study proposes to combine K-Nearest Neighbor with Naïve Bayes to classify phishing websites. Based on the results of the accuracy test of the combination of KNN with k=8 and Naïve Bayes, a maximum accuracy of 93.44% is produced. This result is 6.25% superior compared to using only one classifier.
