Abstract

In the contemporary landscape of healthcare, machine learning models are pivotal in facilitating precise predictions, particularly in the nuanced diagnosis of complex ailments such as breast cancer. Traditional diagnostic methodologies grapple with inherent challenges, including excessive complexity, elevated costs, and reliance on subjective interpretation, which frequently culminate in inaccuracies. The urgency of early detection cannot be overstated, as it markedly broadens treatment modalities and significantly enhances survival rates. This paper delineates an innovative optimization framework designed to augment diagnostic accuracy by amalgamating momentum-based optimization techniques within a neural network paradigm. Conventional machine learning approaches are often encumbered by issues of overfitting, data imbalance, and the inadequacy of capturing intricate patterns in high-dimensional datasets. To counter these limitations, we propose a sophisticated framework that integrates an adaptive threshold mechanism across an array of gradient-based optimizers, including SGD, RMSprop, adam, adagrad, adamax, adadelta, nadam and Nesterov momentum. This novel approach effectively mitigates oscillatory behavior, refines parameter updates, and accelerates convergence. A salient feature of our methodology is the incorporation of a momentum threshold for early stopping, which ceases training upon the stabilization of momentum below a pre-defined threshold, thereby pre-emptively preventing overfitting. Leveraging the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Dataset, our model achieved a remarkable 99.72% accuracy and 100% sensitivity, significantly curtailing misclassification rates compared to traditional methodologies. This framework stands as a robust solution for early breast cancer diagnosis, thereby enhancing clinical decision making and improving patient outcomes.
