<![CDATA[One of the most prevalent malignancies in women and a major global cause of death is breast cancer. To determine whether a cancer is benign or malignant, early detection is essential. The usefulness of the Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Adaptive Boosting (Adaboost) algorithms for breast cancer classification using mammography data is compared in this study. 569 records make up the dataset, which was sourced from the Kaggle Repository and is split into 75% training data and 25% testing data. Preprocessing steps include feature and target variable creation, categorical-to-numerical conversion, data splitting, and normalization. SVM achieved an accuracy of 97%, with a precision of 98%, recall of 94%, and F1 score of 96%. Adaboost, on the other hand, achieved an accuracy of 96%, precision of 98%, recall of 92%, and F1 score of 95%. The results reveal that both algorithms are highly effective for breast cancer detection, with SVM marginally exceeding Adaboost in total performance. These findings emphasize the promise of machine learning techniques in facilitating early cancer diagnosis, hence boosting survival rates. It is advised that future research employ a wider range of datasets and investigate different classification techniques in order to improve accuracy and dependability even more.]]>
