Background: Selecting a restaurant in a diverse city like Bandung can be challenging. This study leverages Twitter data and local restaurant information to develop an advanced recommendation system aimed at improving decision-making. Objective: The system integrates content-based filtering (CBF) with deep feedforward neural network (DFF) classification to enhance the accuracy and relevance of restaurant recommendations. Methods: Data was sourced from Twitter and PergiKuliner, with restaurant-related tweets converted into rating values. The CBF employed a combination of Bag of Words (BoW) and cosine similarity, followed by DFF classification. To address data imbalance, SMOTE was applied during training. Results: The initial evaluation of CBF showed a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.0614 and a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 0.0934. The optimal DFF configuration in the first phase used two layers with 32/16 nodes, a dropout rate of 0.3, and a 20% test size. This setup achieved an accuracy of 81.08%, precision of 82.89%, recall of 76.93%, and f1-scores of 79.23%. In the second phase, the RMSprop optimizer improved accuracy to 81.30%, and tuning the learning rate to 0.0596 further increased accuracy to 89%, marking a 9.77% improvement. Conclusion: The research successfully developed a robust recommendation system, significantly improving restaurant recommendation accuracy in Bandung. The 9.77% accuracy increase highlights the importance of hyperparameter tuning. SMOTE also proved crucial in balancing the dataset, contributing to a well-rounded learning model. Future studies could explore additional contextual factors and experiment with recurrent or convolutional neural networks to further enhance performance.
