FPR-CONSTRAINED HYBRID DEEP LEARNING FOR IOT ANOMALY DETECTION

Nurkamila, Salma, Widodo, Suprih
Abstract: Abstract: Existing IoT anomaly detection studies have achieved high classification performance, but most focus on accuracy and F1-score without explicitly controlling the false positive rate (FPR). In addition, many approaches… oaches rely on a single detection perspective, limiting their operational reliability. To address this gap, this study proposes a hybrid anomaly detection framework integrating Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Shannon entropy, and autoencoder reconstruction error. Shannon entropy is incorporated as an additional feature, while LSTM and the autoencoder capture temporal and reconstruction characteristics. The resulting hybrid representation is processed by a constraint-based threshold selection mechanism that enforces FPR . Experiments on the TON-IoT and Edge-IIoTset datasets achieved average F1-scores of 0.9250 and 0.9934, while maintaining average FPR values of 0.0091 and 0.0714, respectively. Analysis of entropy distributions showed consistent differences between normal and anomalous traffic across both datasets, indicating that Shannon entropy provides discriminative information for anomaly detection. These results demonstrate strong detection performance with controlled false alarms, while ablation studies confirm the significant contribution of Shannon entropy to overall model performance. Keywords: false positive rate; hybrid deep learning; Internet of Things; network anomaly detection; Shannon entropy     Abstrak: Penelitian deteksi anomali Internet of Things (IoT) telah menunjukkan performa klasifikasi yang tinggi, namun sebagian besar masih berfokus pada accuracy dan F1-score tanpa mengendalikan false positive rate (FPR) secara eksplisit. Selain itu, banyak pendekatan hanya memanfaatkan satu perspektif deteksi sehingga reliabilitas operasionalnya masih terbatas. Untuk mengatasi kesenjangan tersebut, penelitian ini mengusulkan kerangka deteksi anomali hybrid yang mengintegrasikan Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Shannon entropy, dan autoencoder reconstruction error. Shannon entropy digunakan sebagai fitur tambahan, sedangkan LSTM dan autoencoder menangkap karakteristik temporal dan deviasi rekonstruksi. Representasi hybrid yang dihasilkan kemudian diproses melalui mekanisme constraint-based threshold selection dengan batas FPR . Hasil pengujian pada dataset TON-IoT dan Edge-IIoTset menghasilkan F1-score rata-rata sebesar 0,9250 dan 0,9934, dengan FPR rata-rata sebesar 0,0091 dan 0,0714. Perbedaan nilai entropy yang konsisten antara trafik normal dan anomali pada kedua dataset menunjukkan bahwa Shannon entropy menyediakan informasi diskriminatif untuk deteksi anomali. Hasil tersebut menunjukkan performa deteksi yang kuat dengan false alarm yang terkendali, sementara studi ablasi mengonfirmasi kontribusi signifikan Shannon entropy terhadap performa model.   Kata kunci: deteksi anomali jaringan; false positive rate; hybrid deep learning; Internet of Things; Shannon entropy

STUDENT DEPRESSION SCREENING BASED ON THE OPTIMUM DATA BALANCING AND RANDOM FOREST

Adnan, M. Sayyidul, Budi Santoso, Irwan, Crysdian , Cahyo
Abstract: Abstract: Mental health issues, particularly depression among young adult university students, are often detected late due to stigma and reluctance to seek medical consultation. The objective of this study is to develop… an early screening model employing machine learning techniques, specifically the random forest algorithm, on a dataset of 268 students (aged 17-29 years; consisting of 98 males and 170 females) within a multicultural educational setting. The principal challenges associated with this dataset are class imbalance and the potential for data leakage from clinical scores. This study implements a rigorous feature selection approach that involves the elimination of depression score features and the utilization of the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) to balance the training data distribution. Furthermore, a Threshold Tuning strategy is employed to prioritize detection sensitivity (Recall). The findings indicate that reducing the decision threshold to an optimal value of 0.25 led to a substantial enhancement in the recall value, increasing it from 36% (baseline) to 77%. A feature importance analysis was conducted, the results of which indicated that Total Social Connectedness (ToSC) is the most dominant predictor. In summary, the present study corroborates the notion that optimizing sensitivity through threshold tuning is of paramount importance for medical screening. Furthermore, social isolation factors emerge as more significant indicators of depression risk than demographic attributes.             Keywords: data mining; depression; imbalanced data; random forest; smote; threshold tuning     Abstrak: Masalah kesehatan mental, khususnya depresi di kalangan mahasiswa dewasa muda, sering terdeteksi terlambat akibat stigma dan enggan mencari konsultasi medis. Tujuan studi ini adalah mengembangkan model skrining dini menggunakan teknik machine learning, khususnya algoritma random forest, pada dataset 268 mahasiswa (usia 17-29 tahun; terdiri dari 98 laki-laki dan 170 perempuan) dalam lingkungan pendidikan multikultural. Tantangan utama yang terkait dengan dataset ini adalah ketidakseimbangan kelas dan potensi kebocoran data dari skor klinis. Studi ini menerapkan pendekatan seleksi fitur yang ketat, yang melibatkan eliminasi fitur skor depresi dan penggunaan Teknik Over-sampling Minoritas Sintetis (SMOTE) untuk menyeimbangkan distribusi data pelatihan. Selain itu, strategi Penyesuaian Ambang Batas diterapkan untuk memprioritaskan sensitivitas deteksi (Recall). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mengurangi ambang batas keputusan ke nilai optimal 0,25 menyebabkan peningkatan signifikan dalam nilai recall, dari 36% (dasar) menjadi 77%. Analisis pentingnya fitur dilakukan, hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa Total Social Connectedness (ToSC) adalah prediktor yang paling dominan. Secara ringkas, studi ini membenarkan bahwa mengoptimalkan sensitivitas melalui penyesuaian ambang batas sangat penting untuk skrining medis. Selain itu, faktor isolasi sosial muncul sebagai indikator risiko depresi yang lebih signifikan daripada atribut demografis.   Kata kunci: penambangan data; depresi; data tidak seimbang; hutan acak; smote; penyesuaian ambang batas

ANALYTIC NETWORK PROCESS IN DETERMINING RECIPIENTS OF EDUCATION GRANTS NORTH SUMATRA PROVINCE

Putri, Adelia Fariza, Fakhriza, M
Abstract: This study aims to apply the Analytic Network Process (ANP) method as a decision support tool in determining the eligibility of education grant recipients in North Sumatra Province. The background of this research arises&#8230; from the large number of grant applicants compared to the available budget, as well as the absence of clear and objective evaluation standards. The ANP method was chosen because it allows the interdependence between assessment criteria such as institutional feasibility, performance and achievement, social and educational impact, and accountability and transparency to be analyzed comprehensively. Data were obtained through interviews, documentation, and observation at the North Sumatra Provincial Education Office. The results of the ANP model show that the criterion with the highest weight is accountability and transparency (0.44), followed by social and educational impact (0.31). Among the three alternatives, community-based education foundations (A2) obtained the highest total weight (0.30), indicating that they are the most eligible recipients of education grants. The implementation of the ANP-based decision support system produces valid and consistent ranking results (CR < 0.1), enabling faster, fairer, and more transparent decision-making. Therefore, the ANP method contributes significantly to improving governance, objectivity, and accountability in the distribution of education grants in North Sumatra Province.
