Implementing Multilabeling, ADASYN, and ReliefF Techniques for Classification of Breast Cancer Diagnostic through Machine Learning: Efficient Computer-Aided Diagnostic System

Abstract

Multilabel recognition of morphological images and detection of cancerous areas are difficult to locate in the scenario of the image redundancy and less resolution. Cancerous tissues are incredibly tiny in various scenarios. Therefore, for automatic classification, the characteristics of cancer patches in the X-ray image are of critical importance. Due to the slight variation between the textures, using just one feature or using a few features contributes to inaccurate classification outcomes. The present study focuses on five different algorithms for extracting features that can extract further different features. The algorithms are GLCM, LBGLCM, LBP, GLRLM, and SFTA from 8 image groups, and then, the extracted feature spaces are combined. The dataset used for classification is most probably imbalanced. Additionally, another focal point is to eradicate the unbalanced data problem by creating more samples using the ADASYN algorithm so that the error rate is minimized and the accuracy is increased. By using the ReliefF algorithm, it skips less contributing features that relieve the burden on the process. Finally, the feedforward neural network is used for the classification of data. The proposed method showed 99.5% micro, 99.5% macro, 0.5% misclassification, 99.5% recall rats, specificity 99.4%, precision 99.5%, and accuracy 99.5%, showing its robustness in these results. To assess the feasibility of the new system, the INbreast database was used.
