Enriched Optimization Algorithm for Effective Skin Disease Prediction Using Soft Computing Techniques

Abstract

In recent years, a usual worldwide problem is a skin disease—the diagnostics of infection and skin disease prediction based on the data mining techniques. The precise and cost-effective treatments obtain a technologybased data mining system that can consider making the right decision. Depends on data, there are 34 UCI datasets have in the skin disease prediction. All of the datasets are not much important when predicting the skin disease problem. In this study, the essential datasets to be analyzed because they only give the best accuracy in skin disease prediction. For an outstanding selection of allocation, to propose a novel feature selection approaches, Enriched Fruitfly Optimization Algorithm (EFOA), and Ensemble Classifiers that are helps for an early stage of skin disease prediction. A hybrid technique through the three essential hybrid feature selection approaches such as Chi-Square method, Information Gain method, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) methods that are combined for better feature selection results. Based on the skin disease dataset, the resultant feature selection approach generated the reduced data subset. Then, the Enriched Fruitfly Optimization Algorithm (EFOA) offers the optimization of reduced data subset. Here, the accuracy estimation is the vital factor to optimize the effective and best prediction of skin disease affected regions. Afterward, the classification performs to classify the EFOA based optimized result by using the six different classification methods. Where, the classification helps to analyze the optimized results, which offers the better classification procedure. To predict the base learner’s performance, to utilize the Naive Bayesian, K-Nearest Neighbour, Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine, Random Forest, and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) to classify the optimized result. Then, the ensemble techniques used to analyze the classifier’s results through the 3 different methods like Bagging, Boosting, Stacking, added on the base learners to improve the proposed work. Based on the performance, the base learners’ performance is larger than the input dataset. The base learner’s parameters are essential to calculate the accuracy of skin disease prediction performance. The performance of the proposed method will take and compare to each base learner, and the performance shows the accurate skin disease prediction improvement with other existing methods.
