Diagnosis of Melanoma Using Deep Learning

When compared to other types of skin cancer, melanoma is the deadliest. However, those who are diagnosed early on have a better prognosis for the purpose of providing a supplementary opinion to experts; various methods of spontaneous melanoma recognition and diagnosis have been investigated by different researchers. Because of the imbalance between classes, building models from existing information has proven difficult. Machine learning algorithms paired with imbalanced basis training approaches are being evaluated for their performance on the melanoma diagnosis challenge in this study. There were 200 dermoscopic photos in which patterns of skin lesions could be extracted using the VGG16, VGG19, Inception, and ResNet convolutional neural network architectures with the ABCD rule. After employing attribute selection with GS and training data balance using Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique and Edited Nearest Neighbor rule, the random forest classifier had a sensitivity of nearly 93% and a kappa index ( ) of 78%.
