Automated cervical cancer classification using deep neural network classifier

Abstract

Cervical cancer (CC) has become one of the serious and deadly diseases in women around the world. Predicting a CC is at risk because testing is not possible at the early stage. Doctors predict the types of cancer by collecting cervical cells and by intervening in person. This approach affects the level of prediction due to human negligence, high cost, and is time consuming. In this paper, we propose the automatic cancer classification using deep neural network to overcome this problem. The proposed work has four stages namely, pre-processing, outlier elimination, dimensionality reduction, and classification. Initially, the missing test data should be removed. Second, the inconsistent data are eliminated based on identical values. Third, principal component analysis (PCA) is used to overcome the limitations caused by high-volume data. Finally, enter the reduced size database in the proposed neural network (DNN) classifier and classify the input data as normal or abnormal. We implement the suggested method using Python and we inspect the performance in terms of different metrics.
