Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan langkah-langkah kerja metode Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN) dalam mengenali pola Aksara Lontara Bugis Makassar dan menjelaskan seberapa akurat dalam mengenali pola aksara Lontara Bugis Makassar. Dari hasil pengujian, diperoleh tingkat akurasi sebesar 76.08%, dengan parameter learning rate sebesar 0,02, epoch maksimum sebesar 50 epoch dan hidden layer sebanyak 90 neuron berdasarkan ciri 8. Adapun, performa mean square error (MSE) sebesar 0.00424 telah diperoleh. Namun demikian, waktu yang dibutuhkan saat proses pembelajaran terbilang cukup lama yaitu 16 menit 56 detik. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian metode BPNN dapat direkomendasikan untuk mengenali pola aksara Lontara Bugis Makassar dalam rangka menunjang pembelajaran kepada masyarakat.

This paper seeks to explore Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) processing stage to recognize The Buginese Lontara script from Makassar as well as explaining its accuracy. The testing results of LVQ obtained an accuracy degree of 66.66 %. The most optimal variant of network architecture in the recognition process is a variation of learning rate of 0.02, a maximum epoch of 5000 and a hidden layer of 90 neurons which was the result of recognition based on feature 8. Based on these variations, the obtained performance with a mean square error (MSE) of 0.0306 and the time required during the learning process was quite short, 6 minutes and 38 seconds. Based on the results of the testing, the LVQ method has not been able to provide good recognition results and still requires development to generate better recognition results.
