Abstract
Breast cancer is a widespread and significant health concern among women globally. Accurately categorizing breast cancer is essential for effective treatment, ultimately improving survival rates. Moreover, deep learning (DL) has emerged as a widely adopted approach for precise medical image classification in recent years, showing promise in this domain. However, despite the availability of DL models proposed in the literature for automated classification of breast cancer histopathology images, achieving high accuracy remains challenging. A minor modification to pre-trained models and simple training strategies can further enhance model accuracy. Based on the approach, this paper proposed an anti-aliased filter in a pre-trained ResNet-34 and a novel three-step training process to improve BC histopathology image classification accuracy. The training involves systematically unfreezing layers and imposing additional constraints on the rate of change of learnable parameters. In addition, four-fold on-the-fly data augmentation enhances model generalization. The Ada-Hessian optimizer adjusts learning rates based on first and second-order gradients to improve convergence speed. The training process utilizes a large batch size to minimize the training loss associated with batch normalization layers. Even with the limited GPU size, the gradient accumulation technique achieves a large batch size. Collectively, these strategies minimize training time while maintaining or improving the accuracy of BC histopathology image classification models. In the experimental implementation, the proposed architecture achieves superior results compared to recent existing models, with an accuracy of 98.64%, recall (98.98%), precision (99.35%), F1-Score (99.17%), and MCC (97.36%) for binary classification. Similarly, the model achieves an accuracy of 95.01%, recall (95.01%), precision (94.95%), F1-Score (94.94%), and MCC (93.42%) for the eight-class category of BC images.
