TEXT CLASSIFICATION USING ADAPTIVE BOOSTING ALGORITHM WITH OPTIMIZATION OF PARAMETERS TUNING ON CABLE NEWS NETWORK (CNN) ARTICLES

Abstract

The development of the era encourages advances in communication and information technology. This resulted in the exchange of information being faster because it is connected to the internet. One platform that provides online news articles is Cabel News Network (CNN), which has been broadcasting news on its website since 1995. The number of Cabel News Network news articles continues to increase, so news articles are categorized to make it easier for readers to find articles according to the category they want. Classification is a technique for determining the class of an object based on its characteristics, where the class label is known beforehand. One of the algorithms for classification is adaptive boosting (AdaBoost). The AdaBoost algorithm performs classification by building several weighted decision trees (stumps), then the class determination is based on the number of stumps with the highest weight. The AdaBoost algorithm can be combined with parameter tuning to avoid overfitting or underfitting resulting from a weak set of stumps. Therefore, this study implements the AdaBoost algorithm with parameter tuning on CNN news article classification. The data used in this study is CNN news article data from 2011 to 2022 sourced from the Kaggle page. The data is categorized into six classes, namely business, entertainment, health, news, politics, and sports. This study uses two evaluation metrics, namely the accuracy value and the confusion matrix to measure the performance of the AdaBoost algorithm. The accuracy value obtained is 0,78763, the precision value is 0.91, the recall value is 0.85, and the F1 score value is 0.88.
