Optimizing MobileNetV2 for improved accuracy in early gastric cancer detection based on dynamic pelican optimizer.

This paper presents an innovative framework for the automated diagnosis of gastric cancer using artificial intelligence. The proposed approach utilizes a customized deep learning model called MobileNetV2, which is optimized using a Dynamic variant of the Pelican Optimization Algorithm (DPOA). By combining these advanced techniques, it is feasible to achieve highly accurate results when applied to a dataset of endoscopic gastric images. To evaluate the performance of the model based on the benchmark, its data is divided into training (80 %) and testing (20 %) sets. The MobileNetV2/DPOA model demonstrated an impressive accuracy of 97.73 %, precision of 97.88 %, specificity of 97.72 %, sensitivity of 96.35 %, Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) of 96.58 %, and F1-score of 98.41 %. These results surpassed those obtained by other well-known models, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Mask Region-Based Convolutional Neural Networks (Mask R-CNN), U-Net, Deep Stacked Sparse Autoencoder Neural Networks (SANNs), and DeepLab v3+, in terms of most quantitative metrics. Despite the promising outcomes, it is important to note that further research is needed. Specifically, larger and more diverse datasets as well as exhaustive clinical validation are necessary to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. By implementing this innovative approach in the detection of gastric cancer, it is possible to enhance the speed and accuracy of diagnosis, leading to improved patient care and better allocation of healthcare resources.
