TransPapCanCervix: An Enhanced Transfer Learning-based Ensemble Model
for Cervical Cancer Classification
Abstract
30.0 Cervical cancer, like many other cancers, is most treatable when
detected at an early stage. Using classification methods helps find
early signs of cancer and small tumors. This allows doctors to act
quickly and offer treatments that might cure the cancer. This study
presents a comprehensive approach to the classification of squamous cell
carcinoma (SCC) leveraging a dataset comprising 1140 single-cell images
sourced from Herlev. A variety of deep learning models, including
DenseNet121, DenseNet169, InceptionResNet, XceptionNet, ResNet50, and
ResNet101, are employed both individually and in ensembles,
demonstrating their efficacy in classifying diverse cellular features.
To validate the robustness of results, k-fold cross-validation is
conducted, further affirming the effectiveness of the proposed
methodology. Thorough exploration produces a precise and effective model
for SCC classification, providing detailed insights into both normal and
abnormal cell types. These findings show that transfer learning-based
deep neural networks and ensemble methods can improve the diagnostic
capabilities by 98% accuracy, of SCC classification systems for
different cell types.
