Implementasi Algoritma K-Nearest Neighbour dalam Menganalisis Sentimen Terhadap Program Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM)

K-Nearest Neighbor Algorithm Implementation in sentiment analysis towards Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) Program. Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) is a program that supports students to improve their skills by having direct experience in the work environment to prepare for competition and a future career. MBKM program has been implemented by Indonesia's Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) since 2020. Every policy needs to be evaluated; a simple evaluation can be done through sentiment analysis to determine public responses to the MBKM program. The results are used as suggestions for program improvement. Sentiment analysis is done by applying the Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithm to process crawled data from Twitter, then classified using the K-NN Algorithm. Based on the results, the sentiment is neutral. This illustrates that people are only partially interested in the MBKM program policy. The accuracy of the classification model using the K-NN algorithm is 95%, and an F1-score value of 0.96 for the classification model with a ratio of 80% training data and 20% test data.
