Tweets Responding to the Indonesian Government’s Handling of COVID-19: Sentiment Analysis Using SVM with Normalized Poly Kernel

SUMMARY

Background: Handling COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease-2019) in Indonesia was once trending on Twitter. The Indonesian government's handling evoked pros and cons in the community. Public opinions on Twitter can be used as a decision support system in making appropriate policies to evaluate government performance. A sentiment analysis method can be used to analyse public opinion on Twitter.Objective: This study aims to understand public opinion trends on COVID-19 in Indonesia both from a general perspective and an economic perspective.Methods: We used tweets from Twitterscraper library. Because they did not have a label, we provided labels using sentistrength_id and experts to be classified into positive, negative, and neutral sentiments. Then, we carried out a pre-processing to eliminate duplicate and irrelevant data. Next, we employed machine learning to predict the sentiments for new data. After that, the machine learning algorithms were evaluated using confusion matrix and K-fold cross-validation.Results: The SVM analysis on the sentiments on general aspects using two-classes dataset achieved the highest performance in average accuracy, precision, recall, and f-measure with the value of 82.00%, 82.24%, 82.01%, and 81.84%, respectively.Conclusion: From the economic perspective, people seemed to agree with the government’s policies in dealing with COVID-19; but people were not satisfied with the government performance in general. The SVM algorithm with the Normalized Poly Kernel can be used as an intelligent algorithm to predict sentiment on Twitter for new data quickly and accurately.

PEMANFAATAN HASIL PERIKANAN SEBAGAI PRODUK BERNILAI TAMBAH (VALUE-ADDED) DALAM UPAYA PENGANEKARAGAMAN PANGAN [Utilization of Fishery Products with Added Value to Support Food Diversification] Tri Winarni Agustini 1) , dan Fronthea Swastawati 1) 1) Staf Pengajar Program Studi Teknologi Hasil Perikanan Jurusan Perikanan FAPRIKAN, Universitas Diponegoro – Semarang Diterima  12 Agustus 2002 /Disetujui 8 April 2003 ABSTRACT   Utilization of fishery products efficiently and cooperatively is important to improve esthetical value of the products. Diversification of fishery products is possible to be implemented, both vertically and horizontally. Understanding of their processing technology is very important for fish processors in order to produce healthy products and highly accepted by consumers. In accordance to the government policy about National Food Safety Programs, one of which is to improve the production of processed food, the diversification of fishery processing should be pointed to very focus condition. The consumption of fish is still low in Indonesia (± 21.69 kg per capita per year), while the fishery resources are abundance. Therefore, efforts in increasing consumption of fish by the consumer to reach the target of the national program i.e. 26.5 kg/capita/year are needed.  Production of “Value-added” by diversification method is aimed not only to improve consumption but also to create appetizing products for the consumers. Some examples of “Value Added” product that are becoming popular nowadays include: fish ball, milk fish pressed-cooked, fish nuggets, fish sausage, ekado fish, aji furai, etc. Some products had been sold by home industries but is still possible to produce in industrial scale. The raw material used can be from marine or cultured fish and also frozen surimi, that are potential to be implemented in Indonesia.
