An ensemble method is a Machine Learning (ML) algorithm that aggregates the predictions of multiple estimators or models. The purpose of an ensemble module is to provide better predictive performance than any single contributing model. This can be achieved by producing a predictive model with reduced variance using bagging, and bias using boosting. The Tree-Based…

Sleep stage performs a vital role in people’s daily lives in the detection of sleep-related diseases. Conventional automated sleep stage classifier models are not efficient due to the complexity linked to the design of mathematical models and extraction of hand-engineering features. Further, quick oscillations amongst sleep stages frequently lead to indistinct feature extraction, which might…

Cyberbullying is a serious problem and caused an immense impact to the victim. To prevent the cyberbullying, the solution is to develop an automatic detection system. In this research, we propose a combined model for cyberbullying detection and emotion detection by using stacking method. The experiment is to create a better model for cyberbullying detection…

The paper presents the technique for the user-friendly numerical simulation of coupled oscillators described by the Kuramoto model. Oscillators couplings are defined as arbitrary 2?-periodic functions given by the Fourier series. Matlab procedure was developed to generate netlist for the equivalent electrical circuit diagram of the Kuramoto model. The input data of the procedure include…

Rated a high-risk cyber-attack type, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) has become a cause for concern to cyber security experts. Detecting the presence of APT in order to mitigate this attack has been a major challenge as successful attacks to large organizations still abound. Our approach combines static rule anomaly detection through pattern recognition and machine…

Indoor positioning system (IPS) has become a high demand research field to be developed and has made considerable progress in recent years. Wi-Fi fingerprinting is the most promising technique that produces an acceptable result. However, despite the large amount of research that has been done using Wi-Fi fingerprinting, only a few Wi-Fi based IPS in…

Recognizing the human behavior and gesture has become important due to the increasing use of wearable devices. This study classifies hand gestures by creating sound in the inaudible frequency range from a smartphone and analyzing the reflected signals. We convert the sound using Short-Time Fourier Transform to magnitude and phase. We trained two types of…

East Java province is a large province in Indonesia, in which Surabaya is the second largest metropolitan city after Jakarta. Various problems of development inequality in East Java have caused East Java to be defined as a disadvantaged area in 2015. The determination of disadvantaged regions is carried out every 5 years using 6 criteria…

Time-series is a sequence of observations that are taken sequentially over time.
