Artificial intelligence (AI) in dermatology has enormous potential to improve patient care and diagnostic precision. With an emphasis on accuracy and interpretability, this work offers a thorough examination of many deep learning architectures for the categorisation of skin lesions. Eight cutting-edge CNN models–Xception, ResNet50, AlexNet, EfficientNetV2L, MobileNetV2, DenseNet201, DenseNet121, and VGG16–are implemented and contrasted. Metrics like F1-score, recall, accuracy, and precision are used to assess their performance.

摘要

Artificial intelligence (AI) in dermatology has enormous potential to improve patient care and diagnostic precision. With an emphasis on accuracy and interpretability, this work offers a thorough examination of many deep learning architectures for the categorisation of skin lesions. Eight cutting-edge CNN models–Xception, ResNet50, AlexNet, EfficientNetV2L, MobileNetV2, DenseNet201, DenseNet121, and VGG16–are implemented and contrasted. Metrics like F1-score, recall, accuracy, and precision are used to assess their performance. We use interpretability approaches like Grad-CAM and LIME to increase transparency by giving model decisions visual explanations. With a 95.30% testing accuracy and a 95% F1-score, our results show that the Xception model performs better than the EfficientNetV2L and DenseNet variations, which also show competitive accuracy and resilience. The study concludes with a web-based implementation that integrates these models with visualization tools, offering a practical solution for clinical applications and paving the way for enhanced AI-driven dermatological diagnostics.
