This study introduces a novel discrete learning method for classification models, improving accuracy in breast cancer detection. The new discrete learning-based multilayer perceptron (DIMLP) model significantly outperforms traditional continuous learning methods.
Area of Science:
- Data Mining
- Machine Learning
- Artificial Intelligence
Background:
- Existing classification models use continuous cost functions, which are ill-suited for discrete objective functions.
- This mismatch leads to inefficiencies and suboptimal performance in classification tasks.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a novel classification methodology using a discrete cost function in the learning process.
- To implement and evaluate this methodology using a multilayer perceptron (MLP).
Main Methods:
- Developed a discrete learning-based MLP (DIMLP) model.
- Applied the DIMLP model to breast cancer classification datasets.
- Compared its performance against the conventional continuous learning-based MLP model.
Main Results:
- The DIMLP model achieved an average classification rate of 94.70%.
- This represents a 6.95% improvement over the traditional MLP model's 88.54% rate.
- DIMLP outperformed the MLP model across all tested datasets.
Conclusions:
- The proposed discrete cost function approach offers a more logical and efficient learning process for classification.
- The DIMLP model demonstrates superior performance, particularly for medical decision-making and other data mining applications requiring high accuracy.
