Analisis Sentimen berbasis Deep Learning Terhadap Kesetaraan Gender di Bidang STEM: Perspektif dan Implikasinya

Women's participation in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) is still low due to discrimination, gender stereotypes, and lack of access to equal career opportunities. This research analyzes public sentiment about gender equality in STEM fields using the Knowledge Discovery in Database (KDD) approach with the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) algorithm. The data consists of 1,200 tweets (2018-2024) collected through web crawling and processed using KDD techniques such as preprocessing, transformation, data mining and evaluation. The resulting LSTM model showed 86.25% accuracy, 88.18% precision, 82.20% recall, and 85.00% F1-score. Sentiment analysis showed support and appreciation for women in STEM (positive sentiment) and criticism of gender discrimination and stereotypes (negative sentiment). This study faced challenges in the form of data imbalance and the model's difficulty in understanding the Indonesian context. Our findings confirm the importance of policies that support gender equality and inclusive work environments. This research is expected to improve people's perception of gender equality and increase the representation of women in STEM fields, especially in Indonesia.
