Clustering User Characteristics Based on the influence of Hashtags on the Instagram Platform

SUMMARY

Instagram is a social media that has the potential to be used to increase awareness of a product. Approximately 70% of users spend their time searching for a product on Instagram. Many people promote their products with a lack of attention to the target. So that not infrequently the information distributed is inaccurate information and not following user characteristics. This study aims to cluster the characteristics of Instagram users based on hashtag compatibility. The method used in this study is the K-Means Clustering method. Based on the results of the experiment, this research succeeded in clustering Instagram users based on the hashtag match on the text caption. Besides, TF-IDF can be used as a feature suitable for the K-Means Klastering method. The results of the hashtag "#kopi" analysis resulted in hashtag suggestions that can be used for the promotion of a product related to coffee, including the hashtag #coffeeshop and #coffee with total usage of 14968 captions.
