Abstract

Melanoma represents one of the most dangerous manifestations of skin cancer. According to statistics, 55% of patients with skin cancer have lost their lives as a result of this disease. Early diagnosis of this condition will significantly reduce mortality rates and save lives. In recent years, deep learning methods have shown promising results and captured the attention of researchers in this field. One common approach is the use of pre-trained deep neural networks. In this work, a pre-trained AlexNet networks, which are networks with specified architecture and weights is used to automatic skin melanoma diagnosis.  In the transfer learning phase, by reducing the learning rate, the pre-trained network is trained to recognize Skin cancer, which is called fine-tuning. In addition, Hyperparameters of the AlexNet network have been optimized by the Marine Predators Algorithm (MPA) to enhance the network performance. Experimental findings show the satisfactory efficiency of the presented approach, with an accuracy rate of 98.47%. The outcomes demonstrate the effectiveness of the suggested approach in contrast to alternative existing methods.

Abstract

As a variant of skin cancer, melanoma represents a substantial menace to the health and overall well-being of individuals. Statistics reveal that 55% of skin cancer patients succumb to this particular disease. However, early detection plays a crucial role in reducing mortality rates and saving lives. In the past several decades, there has been a rise in the adoption of deep learning algorithms, capturing the interest of researchers working in this field. One popular method involves utilizing pre-trained deep neural networks. In this study, a hybrid approach is employed to extract features from melanoma images. This approach integrates the utilization of pre-trained architectures, including AlexNet, ResNet-50, and GoogleNet. During the transfer training phase, these networks are fine-tuned to detect skin cancer by adjusting the learning rate. Subsequently, the maximum relevance minimum redundancy (MRMR) algorithm is employed to select optimal features based on the concepts of minimum redundancy and maximum relevance in order to minimize feature redundancy and enhance classification accuracy. The bagging technique is employed for the classification of various skin cancer types. The experimental results demonstrate the success of the suggested approach, yielding 98.9% accuracy. Furthermore, the results indicate the superiority of this method according to precision, recall, and F1-score in comparison with existing algorithms.
