Enhanced convolutional neural network for non-small cell lung cancer classification

Abstract

<p>Lung cancer is a common type of cancer that causes death if not detected early enough. Doctors use computed tomography (CT) images to diagnose lung cancer. The accuracy of the diagnosis relies highly on the doctor's expertise. Recently, clinical decision support systems based on deep learning valuable recommendations to doctors in their diagnoses. In this paper, we present several deep learning models to detect non-small cell lung cancer in CT images and differentiate its main subtypes namely adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. We adopted standard convolutional neural networks (CNN), visual geometry group-16 (VGG16), and VGG19. Besides, we introduce a variant of the CNN that is augmented with convolutional block attention modules (CBAM). CBAM aims to extract informative features by combining cross-channel and spatial information. We also propose variants of VGG16 and VGG19 that utilize a support vector machine (SVM) at the classification layer instead of SoftMax. We validated all models in this study through extensive experiments on a CT lung cancer dataset. Experimental results show that supplementing CNN with CBAM leads to consistent improvements over vanilla CNN. Results also show that the VGG variants that use the SVM classifier outperform the original VGGs by a significant margin.</p>

Predicting lung cancer risk using explainable artificial intelligence

“…This might entail experimenting with new techniques for interpreting and visualising the findings, incorporating new data sources, or using fresh machine learning algorithms. − Evaluate the performance of new models: it is essential to evaluate the performance of the newly developed machine learning models for predicting lung cancer risk by comparing them to existing models [39], [40]. This comparison should consider various critical factors such as precision, interpretability, algorithmic effectiveness, and usability [41].…”

Comparison Analysis of Brain Image Classification Based on Thresholding Segmentation With Convolutional Neural Network

“…The dataset in this study amounted to 7023 brain image data from MRI scans divided into 10% training data and 90% testing data which will be classified into four classes, namely tumor glioma, tumor meningioma, pituitary tumor, and no tumor. Training data is used to train the built model, while testing data is used to evaluate the performance of the model (Tashtoush et al, 2023) (Saifan & Jubair, 2022).…”

Survey analysis for optimization algorithms applied to electroencephalogram

“…Furthermore, the Automated analysis of EEG signals faces many problems due to the high dimensional data volume [13]. Moreover, optimization algorithms seek to obtain better accuracy by reducing the number of features and exploiting the excellent search space within appropriate time intervals [3], [14].…”
