We built a CNN model and experimented with various image augmentation techniques to improve digit recognition accuracy. The results showed that the use of CNN with image augmentation techniques was effective in improving digit recognition performance. In the data collection stage, we used the MNIST dataset consisting of images of handwritten digits as training and testing data. After building the CNN model, we apply image augmentation techniques such as rotation, shift, and flipping to the training data to enrich the data variety and prevent overfitting. The evaluation results show that the CNN model that has been trained with image augmentation techniques produces significant accuracy, with a maximum accuracy of 99.81%. We also performed an ensemble of several CNN models and found that this approach increased the digit recognition accuracy to 99.79%. This research has the potential for further development. Recommendations for further research include exploring more specific and complex image augmentation techniques, as well as using more challenging datasets. In addition, future research may consider improvements to the CNN architecture used or combining it with other methods such as recurrent neural networks (RNN).","PeriodicalId":479720,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Data Sciences","volume":"356 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135437955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our research involves the development of a Decision Support System (DSS) that integrates Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods, similarity metrics, and machine learning, specifically the Naïve Bayes' classifier, to facilitate crime analysis and categorize reports as pertaining to the same or different crimes. We present a crucial algorithm within the DSS and its evaluation through two studies featuring both small and large datasets, comparing our system's performance with that of a human expert. In the first study, which encompasses ten sets of crime reports covering 2 to 5 crimes each, the binary logistic regression yielded the highest algorithm accuracy at 89%, with the Naive Bayes' classifier trailing slightly at 87%. Notably, the human expert achieved superior performance at 96% when provided with sufficient time. In the second study, featuring two datasets comprising 40 and 60 crime reports discussing 16 distinct crime types for each dataset, our system exhibited the highest classification accuracy at 94.82%, surpassing the crime analyst's accuracy of 93.74%.

The observed upward trend in growth has seemingly presented certain obstacles, particularly in relation to product alignment and product information dissemination. Typically, batik entrepreneurs originate from micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) that have not adhered to global norms. Consequently, the sizes of batik products offered for sale sometimes exhibit inconsistencies. The issue of size discrepancies poses challenges for online consumers seeking to purchase batik products through e-commerce platforms. An effective approach to address this issue involves employing a smartphone camera to anticipate body proportions, specifically the length and width of those engaged in online shopping. Subsequently, by the utilization of machine learning techniques, the optimal batik size can be determined. The UKURIN feature was created as a response to a specific requirement. However, it is essential to establish a methodology for investigating the elements that impact the intention to use this feature. This will enable developers to prioritize their feature development strategies more effectively. A total of 179 participants completed an online questionnaire, and subsequent analysis was conducted utilizing the Extended Technology Acceptance Model framework. The findings indicate that Perceived Usefulness emerged as the most influential factor.

In collaboration with 17 experts, selected through purposive sampling, and involving 100 instructors within Sichuan, China, this research explores an instructional model designed to foster self-regulated learning in the field of data science. The Delphi data collection method is employed to investigate the relevance of various learning theories within international higher education in Sichuan Province, China, with a specific emphasis on the data science discipline. The Self-Regulated Learning in International Higher Education (SLR-IHE) model, informed by survey questionnaires, addresses pertinent challenges encountered in data science education, including issues related to English language proficiency, faculty training, curriculum development, faculty mobility, cross-border regulations, and funding constraints. The findings of this study lead to the development of an International Higher Education (IHE) Model for Sichuan Province, China, using the Delphi Technique, which consists of four distinct instructional modules. Through a linear regression analysis of the SLR-IHE model, it becomes evident that the self-regulated learning process in data science education comprises four essential stages, each contributing to the acquisition of distinct goals. These stages include: (1) activating prior knowledge; (2) fostering idea exchange and iterative improvement; (3) building organizational knowledge through understanding, memorization, analysis, and transfer; and (4) generating innovative ideas through reflexive thinking and initiating creative thought processes. These stages collectively support the achievement of specific goals associated with Self-Managed Learning (SML), Self-Regulated Learning (SRL), Self-Paced Learning (SPL), and Self-Directed Learning (SDL) in the context of data science education.
