Early detection of gynecological malignancies using ensemble deep learning models: ResNet50 and inception V3

Abstract

Background and objective

Improving patient outcomes and lowering death rates depend on the early identification of gynecological cancers. This work intends to improve the accuracy and dependability of early gynecological tumor diagnosis by means of a hybrid deep learning model combining ResNet50 and Inception v3 architectures.

Methods

The proposed ensemble model combines multi-scale feature extraction of Inception v3 with the deep residual learning capability of ResNet50. A significant number of gynecological images were employed for training, testing, and assessment of the proposed model. By entailing accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and F1 score, among other parameters the performance of the model was assessed.

Results

The first experiment depicted displays that the ensemble model performed better than single models with a training accuracy of 99.80 %, a validation accuracy of 99.80 %, and a test accuracy of 99.80 %. Comparing the two studies done in the current research, the model has shown to have a high sensitivity of 99 %, specificity of 99 %, and F1 score of 0.99, making it better in the identification of gynecological cancers and significantly reducing low true negatives and low true positives.

Conclusions

Ensembling of ResNet50 with Inception v3 for early diagnosis of gynecological cancers is promising and reproducible. Thus, according to the presented results, this method can contribute to the diagnoses of diseases by doctors quickly and accurately and, therefore, improve the treatment outcomes and the patient's health
