Final Year Project Repository with Automated Classification Using TF-IDF

Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) requires each undergraduate program student to complete their final year project (FYP) under the supervision of a supervisor in order to graduate. However, there is no website or other resource where students may get knowledge and data on the field of expertise of the lecturers they select as their supervisors. There is also no medium at UiTM, particularly in Jasin, Malacca, for the student to learn about prior FYPs in order to have a better understanding of and inspiration for their own FYP. This project builds a repository system for the FYPs to manage both details and information about the project. Data and information of the FYPs will be classified using term frequency–inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) which will be stored in repository database. There is also a profile of lecturers generated by the system to allow students to get a clearer understanding of the specialist area of the lectures. This system shows great potential in eliminating the problems that students face in the progress of completing their FYP every semester.
