This study aims to develop an efficient and accurate breast cancer classification model using meta-learning approaches and multiple convolutional neural networks. This Breast Ultrasound Images (BUSI) dataset contains various types of breast lesions. The goal is to classify these lesions as benign or malignant, which is crucial for the early detection and treatment of breast cancer. The problem is that traditional machine learning and deep learning approaches often fail to accurately classify these images due to their complex and diverse nature. In this research, to address this problem, the proposed model used several advanced techniques, including meta-learning ensemble technique, transfer learning, and data augmentation. Meta-learning will optimize the model's learning process, allowing it to adapt to new and unseen datasets quickly. Transfer learning will leverage the pre-trained models such as Inception, ResNet50, and DenseNet121 to enhance the model's feature extraction ability. Data augmentation techniques will be applied to artificially generate new training images, increasing the size and diversity of the dataset. Meta ensemble learning techniques will combine the outputs of multiple CNNs, improving the model's classification accuracy. The proposed work will be investigated by pre-processing the BUSI dataset first, then training and evaluating multiple CNNs using different architectures and pre-trained models. Then, a meta-learning algorithm will be applied to optimize the learning process, and ensemble learning will be used to combine the outputs of multiple CNN. Additionally, the evaluation results indicate that the model is highly effective with high accuracy. Finally, the proposed model's performance will be compared with state-of-the-art approaches in other existing systems' accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score.
本研究旨在使用元学习方法和多个卷积神经网络开发一种高效且准确的乳腺癌分类模型。这个乳腺超声图像(BUSI)数据集包含各种类型的乳腺病变。目标是将这些病变分类为良性或恶性,这对乳腺癌的早期检测和治疗至关重要。问题在于,由于这些图像的性质复杂多样,传统的机器学习和深度学习方法往往无法准确地对其进行分类。在本研究中,为了解决这个问题,所提出的模型使用了几种先进技术,包括元学习集成技术、迁移学习和数据增强。元学习将优化模型的学习过程,使其能够快速适应新的和未见过的数据集。迁移学习将利用诸如Inception、ResNet50和DenseNet121等预训练模型来增强模型的特征提取能力。数据增强技术将用于人工生成新的训练图像,增加数据集的规模和多样性。元集成学习技术将结合多个卷积神经网络的输出,提高模型的分类准确率。首先对BUSI数据集进行预处理,然后使用不同的架构和预训练模型训练和评估多个卷积神经网络,以此来研究所提出的工作。然后,应用元学习算法来优化学习过程,并使用集成学习来组合多个卷积神经网络的输出。此外,评估结果表明该模型具有很高的准确性,非常有效。最后,将所提出模型的性能与其他现有系统在准确率、精确率、召回率和F1分数方面的最先进方法进行比较。
