Macine Learning Approach in Evaluating News Labels Based on Titles: Online Media Case Study

In the current digital era, information availability is abundant, and news serves as a primary source of up-to-date and reliable information for the public. However, with the increasing volume of information, a robust evaluation method is necessary to ensure accurate and dependable news labeling. This research employs a machine learning approach, utilizing three common classification algorithms: Naive Bayes, SVM, and Random Forest, to evaluate news labels based on their titles. The dataset utilized in this study is obtained from Jakarta AI Research and consists of 10,000 samples covering various news topics. Evaluation is conducted using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-Score metrics to gain a comprehensive understanding of the classification algorithm's performance. The results of this research demonstrate that the SVM algorithm exhibits the best performance, achieving an accuracy rate of 92.92%. Random Forest follows with an accuracy rate of 91.21%, and Naive Bayes with an accuracy rate of 89.61%. These findings provide deep insights into the effectiveness of the machine learning approach in evaluating news labels based on their titles. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of considering other evaluation metrics such as precision, recall, and F1-Score to obtain a more holistic understanding of the algorithm's performance. Further research is encouraged to involve additional classification algorithms and more diverse and extensive datasets to enhance the comprehension of news label evaluation comprehensively. Such endeavors can significantly contribute to the development of automated systems for classifying news with higher accuracy and reliability in the future
