Women tend to face many problems throughout their lives; cervical cancer is one of the most dangerous diseases that they can face, and it has many negative consequences. Regular screening and treatment of precancerous lesions play a vital role in the fight against cervical cancer. It is becoming increasingly common in medical practice to predict the early stages of serious illnesses, such as heart attacks, kidney failure, and cancer, using machine learning-based techniques. To overcome these obstacles, we propose the use of auxiliary modules and a special residual block, to record contextual interactions between object classes and to support the object reference strategy. Unlike the latest state-of-the-art classification method, we create a new architecture called the Reinforcement Learning Cancer Network, "RL-CancerNet", which diagnoses cervical cancer with incredible accuracy. We trained and tested our method on two well-known publicly available datasets, SipaKMeD and Herlev, to assess it and enable comparisons with earlier methods. Cervical cancer images were labeled in this dataset; therefore, they had to be marked manually. Our study shows that, compared to previous approaches for the assignment of classifying cervical cancer as an early cellular change, the proposed approach generates a more reliable and stable image derived from images of datasets of vastly different sizes, indicating that it will be effective for other datasets.
女性在其一生中往往面临许多问题;宫颈癌是她们可能面临的最危险疾病之一,且有许多负面后果。对癌前病变进行定期筛查和治疗在抗击宫颈癌方面发挥着至关重要的作用。在医学实践中,使用基于机器学习的技术来预测严重疾病(如心脏病发作、肾衰竭和癌症)的早期阶段正变得越来越普遍。为了克服这些障碍,我们提议使用辅助模块和一个特殊的残差块,以记录对象类别之间的上下文交互并支持对象参考策略。与最新的最先进分类方法不同,我们创建了一种名为强化学习癌症网络(“RL - CancerNet”)的新架构,它能以惊人的准确率诊断宫颈癌。我们在两个著名的公开可用数据集SipaKMeD和Herlev上对我们的方法进行了训练和测试,以评估它并与早期方法进行比较。该数据集中的宫颈癌图像已被标记;因此,它们必须手动标注。我们的研究表明,与之前将宫颈癌分类为早期细胞变化的方法相比,所提出的方法从大小差异极大的数据集图像中生成了更可靠、更稳定的图像,这表明它对其他数据集也将是有效的。
