Breast cancer forms in breast cells and is considered as a very common type of cancer in women. Breast cancer is also a very life-threatening disease of women after lung cancer. A convolutional neural network (CNN) method is proposed in this study to boost the automatic identification of breast cancer by analyzing hostile ductal carcinoma tissue zones in whole-slide images (WSIs). The paper investigates the proposed system that uses various convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures to automatically detect breast cancer, comparing the results with those from machine learning (ML) algorithms. All architectures were guided by a big dataset of about 275,000, 50 × 50-pixel RGB image patches. Validation tests were done for quantitative results using the performance measures for every methodology. The proposed system is found to be successful, achieving results with 87% accuracy, which could reduce human mistakes in the diagnosis process. Moreover, our proposed system achieves accuracy higher than the 78% accuracy of machine learning (ML) algorithms. The proposed system therefore improves accuracy by 9% above results from machine learning (ML) algorithms.

This research presents a breast cancer detection system using deep learning method. Breast cancer detection in a large slide of biopsy image is a hard task because it needs manual observation by a pathologist to find the malignant region. The deep learning model used in this research is made up of multiple layers of the residual convolutional neural network, and instead of using another type of classifier, a multilayer neural network was used as the classifier and stacked together and trained using end-to-end training approach. The system is trained using invasive ductal carcinoma dataset from the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and The Cancer Institute of New Jersey. From this dataset, 80% and 20% were randomly sampled and used as training and testing data respectively. Training a neural network on an imbalanced dataset is quite challenging. Weighted loss function was used as the objective function to tackle this problem. We achieve 78.26% and 78.03% for Recall and F1-Score metrics, respectively which are an improvement compared to the previous approach.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> The diagnosis of epilepsy takes a certain process, depending entirely on the attending physician. However, the human factor may cause erroneous diagnosis in the analysis of the EEG signal. In the past 2 decades, many advanced signal processing and machine learning methods have been developed for the detection of epileptic seizures. However, many of these methods require large data sets and complex operations. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> In this study, an end-to-end machine learning model is presented for detection of epileptic seizure using the pretrained deep two-dimensional convolutional neural network (CNN) and the concept of transfer learning. The EEG signal is converted directly into visual data with a spectrogram and used directly as input data. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The authors analyzed the results of the training of the proposed pretrained AlexNet CNN model. Both binary and ternary classifications were performed without any extra procedure such as feature extraction. By performing data set creation from short-term spectrogram graphic images, the authors were able to achieve 100% accuracy for binary classification for epileptic seizure detection and 100% for ternary classification. <b><i>Discussion/Conclusion:</i></b> The proposed automatic identification and classification model can help in the early diagnosis of epilepsy, thus providing the opportunity for effective early treatment.

Abstract Breast Cancer (BC) is the common type of cancer found in women which is caused due to the abnormal growth of cells in the breast. An early BC detection helps to increase the survival rate of the patient and 80% BC type was Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) .In this work, a deep learning-based IDC prediction model is proposed with multiple classifiers and CNN (Convolutional Neural Network). The developed deep learning method used a sequential Keras model like conv2D, Maxpooling2D, Dropout, Flatten and Dense. The multiple classifiers are LR (Logistic Regression), RF (Random Forest), K-NN (K-Nearest Neighbors), SVM (Support Vector Machine), Linear SVC, GNB (Gaussian NB) and DT (Decision Tree). The CNN model generated by using SkLearn, Keras and Tensor flow libraries, and results are organized by MatPlot libraries. At the classification stage, a helper function was defined, and Google Colab online browser platform used for developing the proposed model. The performance is analysed in terms of Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-score and Support.

Breast cancer is the second most deadly disease worldwide. This severe condition led 627,000 people to die in 2018. Thus, early detection is critical for improving the patients' lifetime or even cure them. In this context, we can appeal to Medicine 4.0 that exploits the machine learning capabilities to obtain a faster and more efficient diagnosis. Therefore, this work aims to apply a simpler convolutional neural network, called VGG-7, for classifying breast cancer in histopathological images. Results have shown that VGG-7 overcomes the performance of VGG-16 and VGG-19, showing an accuracy of 98%, a precision of 99%, a recall of 98%, and an F1 score of 98%.

AbstractTriple negative (TN) breast cancer is a subtype of breast cancer which is difficult for early detection and the prognosis is poor. In this paper, 910 benign and 934 malignant (110 TN and 824 NTN) B-mode breast ultrasound images were collected. A Resnet50 deep convolutional neural network was fine-tuned. The results showed that the averaged area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of discriminating malignant from benign ones were 0.9789 (benign vs. TN), 0.9689 (benign vs. NTN). To discriminate TN from NTN breast cancer, the AUC was 0.9000, the accuracy was 88.89%, the sensitivity was 87.5%, and the specificity was 90.00%. It showed that the computer-aided system based on DCNN is expected to be a promising noninvasive clinical tool for ultrasound diagnosis of TN breast cancer.

Abstract:: Millions of deaths all over the world are caused by breast cancer every year. It has become the most common type of cancer in women. Early detection will help in better prognosis and increases the chance of survival. Automating the classification using Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems can make the diagnosis less prone to errors. Multi class classification and Binary classification of breast cancer is a challenging problem. Convolutional neural network architectures extract specific feature descriptors from images, which cannot represent different types of breast cancer. This leads to false positives in classification, which is undesirable in disease diagnosis. The current paper presents an ensemble Convolutional neural network for multi class classification and Binary classification of breast cancer. The feature descriptors from each network are combined to produce the final classification. In this paper, histopathological images are taken from publicly available BreakHis dataset and classified between 8 classes. The proposed ensemble model can perform better when compared to the methods proposed in the literature. The results showed that the proposed model could be a viable approach for breast cancer classification.
