Our methodology involved feature extraction using pre-trained models-namely, Resnet50, EfficientnetB3, VGG19, Densenet121, and ConvNeXtTiny-followed by the concatenation of the extracted features. Our most promising configuration combined features extracted from deep convolutional neural networks-namely Resnet50, EfficientnetB3, and ConvNeXtTiny-that were classified using the XGBoost classifier.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The ensemble approach demonstrated strong overall performance with an accuracy of 0.89. The precision, recall, and F1-score values, which were all at 0.86, highlight a balanced trade-off between correctly identified positive instances and the ability to capture all actual positive samples.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>BCED-Net represents a significant leap forward in addressing persistent issues such as the high dimensionality of features and the risk of overfitting.</p>","PeriodicalId":38949,"journal":{"name":"Osong Public Health and Research Perspectives","volume":"15 5","pages":"409-419"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11563722/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142606308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
