Performance Comparison between Double Exponential Smoothing and Double Moving Average Methods in Seasonal Beef Demand

Bain Khusnul Khotimah — 2024-11-01

Beef demand relies on seasonal patterns because it depends on feed supplies, especially in the rural areas, that still rely on natural feeds. Beef supply is regulated by the government as it is one of the highly demanded commodities. It is a livestock product containing nutritional value to meet the protein needs of the community. The supply is influenced by several factors such as beef production, beef consumption, and the people's income level. In order to anticipate the increasing demand for beef, it is necessary to conduct a forecast to estimate the demand for meat in the future. In forecasting, various methods were examined to choose the method with the lowest error rate. This research compared the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) resulted from Double Exponential Smoothing (DES) and Double Moving Average (DMA) methods. Based on the test results and analysis on beef supplies in Madura, it can be concluded that the method with the lowest MAPE value is Double Exponential Smoothing, i.e. 9.50% with an alpha parameter of 0.5. Meanwhile, the test using the Double Moving Average method to determine the best MAPE value, resulted the best time order of 2 with a MAPE value of 29.8408%. After finding the parameter with the lowest MAPE value, that parameter was used for the data testing. In the measurement, the data used for the testing were the data of 1-year, 2-year, 3-year, and 4-year period. Each method has a level of error value that increases the same; the number of data entered can affect the MAPE value. Therefore, the more data entered, the lower the error value.

In the digital era, graphic design plays an important role in a company's marketing strategy, especially advertising posters that can convey messages to the audience. However, the process of creating attractive and informative posters takes a long time, especially the component placement on the layout. This research aims to develop a layout generator system that automatically places components on the layout using one of the transformer-based models. The transformer-based model used is a Graph Transformer with edge features called SGTransformer, which accepts input data as a graph. SGTransformer consists of several graph transformer layers that will calculate the attention of node and edge features on the input layout graph. A layout graph describes the spatial relationship between components in a layout. The SGTransformer model was trained by using advertising poster datasets collected from social media. The performance of the model were evaluated using the evaluation metrics commonly used in the layout generation domain such as Alignment, Overlap, Max IoU, and FID. The scores obtained from each evaluation metric are 0.025, 1.274, 0.325, and 8.575 respectively. The model evaluation results show that SGTransformer can produce structured and more diverse layouts although there are still challenges such as overlap between components. Code and other materials will be released at https://github.com/syahdeee/Layout-Generator.

Predicting the Sentiment of Review Aspects in the Peer Review Text using Machine Learning

Setio Basuki — 2024-11-01

This paper develops a Machine Learning (ML) model to classify the sentiment of review aspects in the peer review text. Reviewers use the review aspect as paper quality indicators such as motivation, originality, clarity, soundness, substance, replicability, meaningful comparison, and summary during the review process. The proposed model addresses the critique of the existing peer review process, including a high volume of submitted papers, limited reviewers, and reviewer bias. This paper uses citation functions, representing the author's motivation to cite previous research, as the main predictor. Specifically, the predictor comprises citing sentence features representing the scheme of citation functions, regular sentence features representing the scheme of citation functions for non-citation sentences, and reference-based representing the source of citation. This paper utilizes the paper dataset from the International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) 2017-2020, which includes sentiment values (positive or negative) for all review aspects. Our experiment on combining XGBoost, oversampling, and hyper-parameter optimization revealed that not all review aspects can be effectively estimated by the ML model. The highest results were achieved when predicting Replicability sentiment with 97.74% accuracy. It also demonstrated accuracies of 94.03% for Motivation and 93.93% for Meaningful Comparison. However, the model exhibited lower effectiveness on Originality and Substance (85.21% and 79.94%) and performed less effectively on Clarity and Soundness with accuracies of 61.22% and 61.11%, respectively. The combination predictor was the best for the 5 review aspects, while the other 2 aspects were effectively estimated by regular sentence and reference-based predictors.
