Meta-Learner-Based Method for Classifying Skin Cancer Types from Dermoscopic Images Utilizing Deep Learning
摘要
Skin cancer, the most prevalent type of cancer around the globe, presents significant challenges in accurate diagnosis. Conventional diagnostic methods for skin cancer detection are time-consuming, costly, and often relies on the expertise of dermatologists. This research proposed a meta-learner-based model, utilizing deep learning models such as AlexNet, VGG-19, and ResNet18 to extract features and combine them with classifiers like SVM, Decision Tree, and Multi-SVM. The predictions obtained from different classifiers are input into a Meta Model, which averages predictions from base models and uses an ensemble technique to provide the final decision. The proposed is trained on a skin cancer dataset, showing superior performance with 95% accuracy, 96.9%-94.9% of precision, and 95% of F1-Score. This highlights the potential of meta-learner-based techniques in enhancing skin cancer detection.
