An Explainable AI-Based Breast Cancer Classification Combining Rule Sets and Deep Neural Networks
摘要
Cancer has always garnered significant attention due to its prevalence and the impact it has on many individuals. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have led to numerous research initiatives that effectively assist doctors in diagnosis and treatment, thus enhancing patients’ chances of recovery. Mammography remains one of the most commonly used screening methods today. In this paper, we propose a detection and classification method for mammography that integrates a fuzzy inference system (FIS) with explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) to enhance classification efficiency and improve the interpretation of outputs from machine learning models. We conduct experiments across various scenarios to assess the model’s practical applicability. The experimental results demonstrate an accuracy exceeding 94.64% and an IoU index of 0.899, confirming the proposed method’s effectiveness. These findings lay a crucial foundation for our ongoing development of fuzzy learning techniques aimed at tumor classification and identification in mammography.
