Classification of skin cancer is a growing research topic with significant challenges in the image processing. Learning algorithms for classifying a kind of skin cancer have been presented in recent articles to accelerate the diagnosis process with a rapid and accurate diagnosis. However, effective detection of skin cancer requires extensive graphical data. Inspired by deep learning successful results in computer vision, A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is proposed in this study to build a skin cancer classification model. We conduct this experiment by collecting massive skin cancer datasets, conducting pre-processing, training models, and evaluating the performance. Based on the experiment result, the benign and malignant classification model can obtain a good accuracy with a slight loss. Therefore, the results obtained reached an accuracy of 54%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
