The growth of the internet has influenced the tourism industry because the internet makes it easier for individuals to obtain reviews about places to visit and because the internet is a tool used by tourist site managers to assess the quality of their offerings. The increase in the number of tourists of almost two million in just three years in West Sumba is proof of this influence. Social media is a tool that people use to interact with each other online; some people have multiple accounts on platforms such as Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram, Twitter, and so on. Tourists can receive recommendations for tourist attractions based on price and type of trip desired through a tourist attraction recommendation system that uses the KNN algorithm. Three factors were used in this research: activity, type of tourism, and type of price. An accuracy of 63.16% is found in the test results using the KNN algorithm and the Rapid Miner application with a K value of 5. The analysis results show that the K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) approach can be used as a guideline for recommending tourist destinations to visitors in West Sumba.

Handling of dental disease problems requires that it be handled quickly and correctly, but not all teams of dental experts can carry out treatment quickly due to the lack of a team of dental experts who are in the workplace or hospital 24 hours a day.  Apart from that, the public also has very little knowledge of information about dental disease, so that to treat dental disease, people have to consult a dentist. To classify images of dental disease, feature extraction is needed. Feature extraction is taking characteristics of an object that can describe the image. One example of image feature extraction used is Red, Green, Blue (RGB). This feature extraction is often used to identify or classify an image. Dental image data that will be used in the classification process are tooth abrasion, anterior crosbite, cavities and gingivitis. K-Nears Neigbor is the simplest data mining algorithm.  The aim of this algorithm is to find the results of the closest distance classification for each object.  In determining the distance, the data is initially divided into two parts, namely training data and testing data. After receiving the training data and testing data, the distance from each testing data (Equilidence Distance) to the training data is calculated. The K-Nearest Neighbors method can be applied to classify dental disease based on images of types of dental disease using Matlab software. As a result of the image data training process, 40 image data were input, training results obtained were 100%.

This research focuses on using the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm to model student satisfaction with campus services. The study finds that the quality of the dataset strongly influences the accuracy of the KNN classification results. Factors such as data cleanliness, balanced class distribution, and sufficient training data volume are highlighted as crucial for a successful model. The research also emphasizes the significance of proper feature selection in enhancing classification performance, suggesting that irrelevant features can introduce noise and decrease model accuracy. The model was evaluated using a dataset of 1032 data points and K=5, achieving an accuracy of 93.72%. While the model performed well for certain classes such as "Very Good" and "None", challenges were encountered in classifying the "Fair" and "Deficient" classes. The study concludes that KNN is effective in identifying student satisfaction patterns but highlights the need for improvements in accurately classifying these challenging classes. Ultimately, the research underscores the importance of data quality and feature selection in enhancing the performance of classification models for student satisfaction analysis.

Business legality is the identity of a business that legalizes a business so that it is recognized by the community. Business legality must be valid according to applicable laws and regulations so that the business can be protected by various documents that are valid in the eyes of the law. One of the supporting factors for the sustainability of a business is influenced by the existence of legal elements of the business being run. Business permits that must be owned by the community are a business establishment deed, business entity NPWP, trade business license (SIUP), company domicile certificate (SKDP) and business registration number (NIB). The increase in community businesses in Sei Bingai District, Langkat Regency has triggered many business permits that are not directly supervised by the local government. Community business permits are important documents in supervising the running of these community businesses. The types of businesses in Sei Bingai District also vary, such as tourism, C mining, trade, factories and so on.

The process of identifying the ripeness level of cayenne peppers is an important step in cultivation and post-harvest handling. Dependence on the quality factors of farmers, such as visual diversity and differences in ripeness perception, results in subjective harvest outcomes. This manual process is also prone to inconsistent results, as humans have time limitations, fatigue, and sometimes lack concentration when sorting for long periods. To minimize these issues, technological intervention is needed to mechanically classify the ripeness level of cayenne peppers. This research aims to develop a classification model for the maturity level of cayenne pepper plants. This research proposes the use of the CNN method for feature extraction and KNN for data classification based on the features extracted by CNN. From the test scenarios carried out, the classification carried out by KNN based on CNN feature extraction got the best accuracy of 99.33%, while the CNN classification model got the best accuracy of 87.33%.

The development of image processing technology today can create systems that are able to effectively recognize digital images, one of which is in the field of agriculture for plant disease identification. Citrus plants experience a decrease in productivity due to pathogen attacks on leaves such as Black Spot, Cancer, and CVDP so that disease identification is needed. The classification method that can be used to classify images is the K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) algorithm because it is simple and has high accuracy in image management. This study aims to implement and determine the performance of the K-NN algorithm in identifying citrus plant diseases based on leaf images. This research uses a dataset from the Kaggle website of 1,096 images. There are 12 research scenarios using the comparison between test data and training data as much as 4, namely (90% training data + 10% test data, 80% training data + 20% test data, 70% training data + 30% test data, 60% training data + 40% test data) and testing with 3 random state values (42, 32, 22). The results showed that the K-NN algorithm is very effective in identifying citrus plant diseases with the highest accuracy value in the 90% training data scenario and 10% test data with a value of K = 2 which is 98.5%.

This research relates to predictions of laptop sales in computer shops in Central Aceh, with a focus on laptop brands Acer, Asus, HP and Lenovo. Over the last three years, sales of these laptops have reached 1,629 units, with a monthly average of between 108 and 150 units. Business owners today prefer brands with the highest percentage of sales, but this can lead to dead stock problems. Therefore, the author proposes using data mining techniques, especially the K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) method, to make recommendations for the number of products to be purchased by business owners based on past sales data. The K-NN method requires complete, structured and continuous sales data. It is important to choose an appropriate K value, and other factors such as weather, seasons, promotions, and special events also affect laptop sales. K-NN models may need to be combined with other data to improve prediction accuracy. It is hoped that this research will provide academic benefits in expanding knowledge about the use of the K-NN method in sales prediction, as well as practical benefits for business owners in planning their sales strategies. The research conclusions highlight the importance of good data collection, choosing the right K value, and considering external factors in the laptop sales prediction process.      

Fraudsters increasingly exploit unauthorized credit card information for financial gain, targeting un-suspecting users, especially as financial institutions expand their services to semi-urban and rural areas. This, in turn, has continued to ripple across society, causing huge financial losses and lowering user trust implications for all cardholders. Thus, banks cum financial institutions are today poised to implement fraud detection schemes. Five algorithms were trained with and without the application of the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) to assess their performance. These algorithms included Random Forest (RF), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Naïve Bayes (NB), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Logistic Regression (LR). The methodology was implemented and tested through an API using Flask and Streamlit in Python. Before applying SMOTE, the RF classifier outperformed the others with an accuracy of 0.9802, while the accuracies for LR, KNN, NB, and SVM were 0.9219, 0.9435, 0.9508, and 0.9008, respectively. Conversely, after the application of SMOTE, RF achieved a prediction accuracy of 0.9919, whereas LR, KNN, NB, and SVM attained accuracies of 0.9805, 0.9210, 0.9125, and 0.8145, respectively. These results highlight the effectiveness of combining RF with SMOTE to enhance prediction accuracy in credit card fraud detection.

The occurrence of scorch during the production of flexible polyurethane is a significant issue that negatively impacts foam products' resilience and generally jeopardizes their integrity. The likelihood of foam product failure can be decreased by optimizing production variables based on machine learning algorithms used to predict the occurrence of scorch. Investigating technology is required because prevention is the best approach to dealing with this problem. Hence, machine learning algorithms were trained to predict the occurrence of scorch using the thermodynamic profile of polyurethane foam, which is made up of recorded production variables. A variety of heuristics algorithms were trained and assessed for how well they performed, namely XGBoost, Decision trees, Random Forest, K-nearest neighbors, Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machines, and Logistic Regression. The XGboost ensemble was found to perform best. It outperformed others with an accuracy of 98.3% (i.e., 0.983), followed by logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, K-nearest neighbors, and naïve Bayes, yielding a training accuracy of 88.1%, 66.7%, 84.2%, 87.5%, and 67.5% respectively. The XGBoost was finally used, yielding 2-distinct cases of non(occurrence) of scorch. Ensemble demonstrates that it is quite capable and is an effective way to predict the occurrence of scorch.

Rice plays a vital role as the main food source for almost half of the global population, contributing more than 21% of the total calories humans need. Production predictions are important for determining import-export policies. This research proposes the XGBoost method to predict rice harvests globally using FAO and World Bank datasets. Feature analysis, removal of duplicate data, and parameter tuning were carried out to support the performance of the XGBoost method. The results showed excellent performance based on which reached 0.99. Evaluation of model performance using metrics such as MSE, and MAE measured by k-fold validation show that XGBoost has a high ability to predict crop yields accurately compared to other regression methods such as Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boost (GB), Bagging Regressor (BR) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). Apart from that, an ablation study was also carried out by comparing the performance of each model with various features and state-of-the-art. The results prove the superiority of the proposed XGBoost method. Where results are consistent, and performance is better, this model can effectively support agricultural sustainability, especially rice production.
