Pemilihan Kata Benda Bahasa Indonesia Berdasarkan Cakupan Suku Kata Menggunakan Genetic Algoritma untuk Dataset Audio Visual

Dalam pembentukan model Kecerdasan Buatan yang menggunakan pendekatan Deep Learning, dataset memegang peranan yang sangat penting. Memahami dan memilih kumpulan data yang tepat, sangatlah penting untuk memastikan keberhasilan sebuah model Kecerdasan Buatan. Salah satu topik yang cukup baru adalah mempelajari bagaimana pembentukan suara dari hasil pembacaan gerakan bibir manusia, dengan cakupan variasi bunyi dan bentuk bibir yang diharapkan dapat membantu pembelajaran sistem. Mayoritas dataset audio visual, yang biasa digunakan untuk pembangunan model pembentukan suara ataupun pembacaan gerakan bibir tidak memperhatikan keluasan cakupan variasi bunyi yang ada. AVID, salah satu dari dataset audio visual berbahasa Indonesia, mengadopsi susunan kata dalam dataset GRID, yang mengubah setiap kata penyusunnya dari Bahasa Inggris ke bahasa Indonesia. Sedangkan pada Bahasa Indonesia sendiri terdapat banyak ragam bunyi yang dibentuk dari satu atau sederet rangkaian fonem. Penelitian yang dilakukan penulis dengan memanfaatkan Genetic Algorithm untuk mendapatkan susunan kombinasi kata benda guna memperoleh nilai cakupan yang optimal. Dengan cakupan kombinasi suku kata yang lebih baik, maka dapat dihasilkan dataset untuk Deep Learning yang lebih baik lagi. Dalam penelitian ini, kata benda yang diproses, diperoleh dari KBBI edisi 2008, baru kemudian difilter untuk mendapatkan kata benda yang tepat mengandung 3 suku kata, yang bukan nama kota, tokoh maupun lokasi. Dari 39.070 kata benda yang ada, diperoleh 2936 kata benda yang akan digunakan. Ujicoba yang telah dilakukan pada 10.000 hingga 200.000 epoch, diperoleh rata-rata cakupan suku kata 72%-75% dengan batasan 26 variasi kata benda penyusunnya

An Information and Marketing System for Agrocomplex Sector Based on Reliable Digital Technology as a Supporting Capacity for Food Security in a Force Majeure Event

The pandemic situation experienced by the world are currently threatening food security in various regions including Indonesia. In these regions, the flow of traffic in the agricultural and fisheries sectors, from the means of production to the distribution of the harvest, is choked up due to social restrictions in various parts of the region. As a strategic step to reduce the impact on the agricultural sector, it is necessary to accelerate information to support the stability of production and also to distribute production results. Digital media in agriculture are needed to provide education with a variety of contents, such as technical production, marketing, and agricultural finance information. The Faculty of Agriculture of Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) has supported digital information dissemination through the Desa Apps application. Desa Apps aims to be an application platform that provides agricultural extension and develops digital farmer communities. The information that has been carried out by Desa Apps so far includes agrocomplex sector (agriculture, animal husbandry and fisheries) problems related to cultivation methods and obstacles faced in the land such as attack by plant pest and disease. As a digital media, the Desa Apps has educated farmer and aquaculturists. Optimization needs to be done to improve the performance of Desa Apps as a digital media, one of which is the marketing system that this application actually has. This study evaluates whether farmers and aquaculturists under the auspices of the Faculty of Agriculture are interested in being able to get education and at the same time be able to market their product directly to consumers with one application, the Desa Apps. The findings of the study showed that the pandemic period greatly affected the incomes of the assisted target community, and they required media that can help market their product. The decline in turnover due to pandemic conditions reached 70% with an average decrease of 39.2%. The method of selling products has changed from conventional to online sales by 20% of the total respondents. Changes in sales methods occurred due to distribution limitations due to regional and activity restrictions during the pandemic. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the Desa Apps application as a digital media to support food security
