Keshav Handa, Viabhav Sharma, Meenakshi N · 2024
The proliferation of deep learning methodologies, especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs), has significantly improved the early detection and classification processes for cervical cancer, a predominant health concern for women globally. This research puts forth a sophisticated CNN model optimized to harness a comprehensive dataset enabling enhanced feature extraction from medical images, thereby elevating diag- nostic precision. Incorporating transfer learning from adeptly trained models, this strategy not only augments the efficiency of our network but also accelerates the training process, thus ensuring a swifter adoption in clinical practice. The performance of the proposed model is meticulously assessed using accuracy and loss as the principal metrics. These metrics demonstrate a marked improvement in the model's ability to discern patterns indicative of cervical cancer, hence offering a superior alternative to conventional diagnostic methods. The encouraging outcomes of this study underscore the viability of deploying our CNN model as an integral component in clinical diagnostics, charting the course towards expedited and more precise patient evaluations. This investigation exemplifies the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on healthcare, signifying considerable progress in the prompt and accurate diagnosis of cervical cancer.
