Sentiment analysis of tourism destination reviews can be used as feedback to managers to improve the quality of tourism services. Many methods have been used to classify the review text based on its sentiment. k-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) is a classification method that is widely used in sentiment analysis. This simple approach is capable of providing very high accuracy. The main drawback of KNN is the long computing time, so by default it is not recommended for big data computing. This article explains how the KNN method is combined with Information Gain (IG) feature selection to select only the best terms (words) in the dataset to be involved in computing. This research analyzes the review text of a tourism destination on Madura Island which was downloaded from Google Map. This review was preprocessed using case-folding, cleansing, normalization, tokenization, stop-word removal, and stemming techniques. Each term is given a weight using TF-IDF, then feature restrictions are carried out using IG. Testing shows that the KNN classifier without involving IG provides the best accuracy of 98.4% (only oversampling), namely when the k value = 1, whereas when KNN is combined with IG the best accuracy is 97.6 (oversampling plus feature selection) when the k value is set to 3 and the threshold is 0.0008. The combination of KNN and IG is recommended to be applied to classify large-scale review texts based on sentiment. Reducing the number of features can shorten computing time while maintaining the accuracy of the classifier. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Indonesia is a country with a region that has great potential in the maritime sector, 70% of its territory consists of 17,508 islands making Indonesia a maritime country with a coastline that stretches 108,000 km. Indonesia has unprecedented Salt Lake products from different locales like Sampang, Cirebon, Rembang, and Indramayu. These resources need to be detected and inventoried in an appropriate manner. Local communities are increasingly cornered and finding it difficult to compete. For the essential ware bunch, by keeping up with the security of the salt product in the public arena, whose capability is indispensable, the salt exchanging framework is directed. The examination objective is to utilize the K-Means Bunching strategy to bunch public salt products. Clustering is a method for data analysis, where each object is identified and grouped based on similarities or similarities in several aspects. The result of the testing the K-Means Clustering technique with the Silhouette Coefficient strategy show that the K-Means Clustering strategy with the nearest distance determined involving Euclidean Distance is a decent decision for research. The Silhouette Coefficient evaluation yielded results with k=2 and the value of 0.721. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
