A 2018 WHO report noted an increase in deaths by suicide, with a frequency of one case every 40 seconds. The Ipsos Global 2023 survey showed that 44% of respondents in 31 countries are concerned about mental health, while 30% identified stress as a major issue. In Indonesia, the mental health situation is also a serious concern. The 2022 I-NAMHS survey found that 34.9% of adolescents face mental health problems, but only 2.6% of them utilize counseling services. Emotion detection in text is challenging due to the absence of facial expressions or voice modulation. This study aims to classify emotions in Indonesian text using the IndoBERT model. The dataset used consists of 5079 tweets with five emotion labels: Angry, Fear, Joy, Love, and Sad. Parameter variations include the composition of training, validation, and test data split (80:10:10, 75:15:15, and 60:20:20), as well as the combination of learning rate (1e-2 to 1e-7) and batch size (8, 16, and 32). The model was trained for 25 epochs with the application of early stop and patience for 5 epochs. The experimental results showed that the composition of data split 80:10:10, learning rate 1e-6, and batch size 8 resulted in optimal classification. Although some experiments showed indications of overfitting, this research has important implications in the early detection of emotions and can help in mental health treatment efforts.</p> Aditya Saiful Rizky Erwin Yudi Hidayat ##submission.copyrightStatement## 2025-02-01 2025-02-01 14 1 1 11 10.18495/comengapp.v14i1.494 Anxiety Detection for Autism Children through Vital Signs Monitoring using a Socially Assistive Robot https://comengapp.unsri.ac.id/index.php/comengapp/article/view/493 <p>Socially Assistive Robot (SAR) to detect anxiety levels in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a condition often accompanied by difficulties in recognising and expressing emotions, including anxiety. Early recognition of anxiety in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is crucial as it can affect their behaviour and social interactions. This SAR monitors vital signs namely blood pressure, heart rate and body temperature. This study involved children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) with two conditions, namely Asperger Syndrome and Classical Autism who interacted with a Socially Assistive Robot (SAR) equipped with a tensimeter (MPS20N0040D sensor) for blood pressure, MAX30100 sensor for heart rate, and MLX90614 sensor to measure body temperature. Results show that the Socially Assistive Robot (SAR) is able to measure vital signs with high accuracy and provide an indication of anxiety levels effectively, as vital signs correlate with anxiety levels. These findings demonstrate the potential of the Socially Assistive Robot (SAR) as a reliable tool in anxiety monitoring in children with ASD, with important implications for the development of future therapeutic interventions</p> Ekawati Prihatini Faisal Damsi Nyayu Latifah Husni Selamat Muslimin Yessi Marniati M.

The integration of voice authentication in electronic voting systems for varying numbers of disabled and prospective voters should be secure, scalable, and suitable in both federal and state elections. Machine learning (ML) is an evolving field of computing that presents prospects in electronic voting. Applying ML algorithms to electronic voting provides optimal solutions to a wide range of biometric authentication challenges. This paper presents the design of an effective voice classification algorithm from a narrower perspective that can be used in developing prototype electronic voting systems in large-scale voting scenarios, particularly for disabled voters. Applying the knowledge of deep neural networks, a three hidden layer network using a feed-forward architecture is designed for classifying voice data acquired from prospective voters. The proposed design is tested on two different datasets and is adapted to handle small and vast amounts of voters’ voice information. Results indicated average training and average validation accuracies of 92% and 97% respectively for both deep learning models for inclusivity and accountability of disabled voters in secure electronic voting systems.</span></p> Olayemi Mikail Olaniyi Bello Kotangora Nuhu Oluwasogo Adekunle Okunade Uchenna Christiana Ezeanya Chimdiebube Emmanuel Eke ##submission.copyrightStatement## 2025-02-01 2025-02-01 14 1 22 37 10.18495/comengapp.v14i1.1164 Enhanced Short-Term Residential Load Forecasting Using K-means Clustering and Iterative Residual LSTM Networks https://comengapp.unsri.ac.id/index.php/comengapp/article/view/1168 <p>Accurate short-term load forecasting (STLF) is essential for optimizing energy management systems, ensuring operational efficiency, and balancing supply and demand in power grids. This study introduces a hybrid model, K-RNLSTM, which integrates K-means clustering with iterative Residual Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to improve prediction accuracy. The K-means clustering algorithm categorizes similar load patterns, allowing the model to handle seasonal and hourly variations more effectively. Iterative ResBlocks are incorporated within the LSTM framework to capture complex non-linear dependencies and improve the learning process without suffering from degradation. The model was evaluated using real-world residential electricity consumption data across four seasons: winter, spring, summer, and autumn.</p> <p>The K-RNLSTM model consistently outperformed traditional methods such as Extreme Learning Machines (ELM), Seasonal-Trend Loess (STL), Gated Recurrent Units (GRU), and standard LSTM in terms of Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). The results demonstrated that K-RNLSTM achieved an average RMSE of 0.71, MAE of 0.43, and MAPE of 1.31%, surpassing benchmark models across all seasonal variations. Furthermore, the integration of ResBlocks significantly improved the model's ability to minimize large forecasting errors, particularly during peak demand periods.</p> <p>This research demonstrates the effectiveness of combining clustering techniques with deep learning models for short-term load forecasting, offering a robust solution for power system operators to optimize energy distribution and reduce operational costs.</p> Abdullahi Sulaiman Abdullateef Ayodele Isqeel Abdulkabir Olatunji Issa Abdulrasheed Olayinka Issa ##submission.copyrightStatement## 2025-02-01 2025-02-01 14 1 23 40 10.18495/comengapp.v14i1.1168 TeleOTIVA: Advanced AI-Powered Automated Screening System for Early Detection of Precancerous Lesions https://comengapp.unsri.ac.id/index.php/comengapp/article/view/1197 <p>In 2023, the Indonesian Ministry of Health launched the Rencana Aksi Nasional (RAN) to enhance the detection and management of cervical cancer in Indonesia.

It is hoped that, through these targeted and effective interventions, the incidence of cervical cancer can be significantly reduced. This research aims to facilitate the early detection screening process for cervical precancerous lesions, particularly in difficult areas for medical experts to reach. This study also seeks to assist obstetricians and gynecologists in detecting precancerous lesions automatically, quickly, and accurately. By developing an advanced technology-based screening system, it is hoped that early detection of precancerous lesions can be carried out more efficiently, thereby increasing the chances of timely treatment and reducing the incidence of cervical cancer across various regions in Indonesia. This system is designed to provide reliable and user-friendly diagnostic support as it is developed on a mobile platform that can be accessed anytime and anywhere. This research developed a system for early screening called Tele-OTIVA. The Tele-OTIVA application system is an advanced platform that uses artificial intelligence (AI) based approaches to provide optimal services in early detection of precancerous lesions. This application is designed for mobile, allowing users to access and use its advanced features anytime and anywhere. With the integration of AI technology, Tele-OTIVA can detect and analyze cervical precancerous lesions accurately and quickly to provide accurate and efficient screening results. The Tele-OTIVA application system is capable of providing satisfactory detection results. The performance of the proposed model achieves accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity levels above 90%. With this high performance, Tele-OTIVA ensures that the detection of precancerous lesions is carried out with high reliability and precision, instilling greater confidence in healthcare professionals and users during the screening and diagnosis process. The implementation of our application model offers numerous advantages over traditional methods. It significantly enhances efficiency by automating processes, reduces human error through rigorous error-checking mechanisms, and accelerates the processing of large datasets. These improvements streamline operations and ensure more reliable and rapid data analysis.</p> Muhammad Naufal Rachmamtullah Siti Nurmaini Patiyus Agustiansyah Rizal Sanif Irawan Sastradinata Akhiar Wista Arum Firdaus Firdaus Annisa Darmawahyuni Bambang Tutuko Ade Iriani Sapitri Anggun Islami ##submission.copyrightStatement## 2025-02-01 2025-02-01 14 1 41 52 10.18495/comengapp.v14i1.1197 Development of a Littering Behavior Detection Using 3D Convolutional Neural Networks (3D CNN) https://comengapp.unsri.ac.id/index.php/comengapp/article/view/1246 <p class="keyword"><span lang="EN-US">Littering has become a significant problem that negatively impacts public health and environmental cleanliness. This research introduces an innovative solution using 3D Convolutional Neural Networks (3D CNN) technology to automatically detect littering behavior through real-time CCTV recordings. Two models were developed and tested. Model 1, which employs Conv3D, Batch Normalization, and Dropout, showed high training accuracy but exhibited fluctuations in validation accuracy, indicating potential overfitting. In contrast, Model 2, designed with a simpler structure without Batch Normalization and Dropout, achieved higher classification accuracy and efficiency. Both models significantly contribute to addressing littering in public areas, increasing awareness, and supporting environmental law enforcement. The integration of 3D CNN technology in detecting littering behavior demonstrates its potential to reduce pollution and promote environmentally responsible behavior.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Nyayu Latifah Husni Ekawati Prihatini Monica Ulandari Ade Silvia Handayani ##submission.copyrightStatement## 2025-02-01 2025-02-01 14 1 53 63 10.18495/comengapp.v14i1.1246 Analyzing Co-Authorship Networks in Indonesian PTN-BH Institution Through Social Network Analysis https://comengapp.unsri.ac.id/index.php/comengapp/article/view/1265 <p>This study involved an examination of bibliographic information from Indonesia. Our approach centered on utilizing social network analysis to explore the co-authorship relationships among Indonesian authors, focused on the co-authorship network within the context of authors affiliated with Indonesian state universities known as "PTN-BH," which specialize in higher education and legal studies. To conduct our analysis, we gathered publication data from the Scopus database, spanning a time frame from 1948 to 2020. The primary methodology entailed constructing a graph composed of nodes and edges, representing the co-authorship connections among these authors. By employing the Louvain method, we were able to identify prominent communities within this graph. We carried out a comprehensive analysis at both macro and micro levels, involving measurement techniques tailored to these perspectives. Through this approach, we revealed and examined the collaboration patterns among authors associated with PTN-BH institutions, as illuminated by the co-authorship network analysis.</p> Firdaus Firdaus Siti Nurmaini Annisa Darmawahyuni Muhammad Naufal Rachmatullah Sarifah Putri Raflesia Dinda Lestarini ##submission.copyrightStatement## 2025-02-01 2025-02-01 14 1 64 77 10.18495/comengapp.v14i1.1265
