dc.description.abstract |
Skin cancer can be treated if it is detected early. Many artificial intelligence-based models
have been developed for skin cancer detection and classification. Considering the
development of multiple models according to various scenarios and selecting the optimum
model, these models were rarely considered in previous works. This study aimed to develop
multiple models for skin cancer classification and select the optimum model.
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in the form of AlexNet, Inception V3, MobileNet
V2, and ResNet 50 were used for feature extraction. Feature reduction was carried out
using two algorithms of the gray wolf optimizer (GWO) in addition to using the original
features. Skin cancer images were classified into four classes based on six machine learning
(ML) classifiers. As a result, 51 models were developed with different combinations of
CNN algorithms, without GWO algorithms, with two GWO algorithms, and with six ML
classifiers. To select the optimum model with the best results, the multicriteria decisionmaking approach was utilized in the recent form of ranking the alternatives by perimeter
similarity (RAPS). Model training and testing were conducted using the International Skin
Imaging Collaboration (ISIC) 2017 dataset. Based on nine evaluation metrics and
according to the RAPS method, the AlexNet algorithm with GWO yielded the optimum
model, achieving a classification accuracy of 94.5%. This work presents the first study on
benchmarking skin cancer classification with a large number of models. Feature reduction
not only reduces the time spent on training but also improves classification accuracy. The
RAPS method has proven its robustness in the problem of selecting the best model for skin
cancer classification. |
