Breast cancer prediction using genetic algorithm and sand cat swarm optimization algorithm

Abstrak

Breast cancer is the second leading type of cancer, which is mainly found in women and which increases the death rate among women. Early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer can reduce its occurrence and the death rate. Unfortunately, even if cancer treatment is initiated quickly after diagnosis, cancer may relapse because cancer cells may continue to exist in the body, which is also a major problem faced by women who fear facing the same treatment twice. So, detecting cancer at its early stage and predicting the recurrence of it is a major issue in the medical field that needs to be solved. Machine learning (ML) algorithms such as support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), and voting classifier (VC) are used for breast cancer prediction. Due to high-dimension data, the predicted results using Machine learning algorithms will increase the errors and decrease the accuracy. So, bioinspired algorithms such as the genetic algorithm (GA) and sand cat swarm optimization (SCSO) are used to reduce the data dimension. Convolutional neural network (CNN) is used for feature extraction from the image dataset. CNN algorithms are used for feature selection, which selects the important features for classification and prediction by applying 10 cross-validation methods. The proposed model using bioinspired optimization algorithms outcomes will yield high accuracy and the best solution.
