Breast Cancer Detection with Machine Learning-A Review

Malignancy in the breast is a significant public health concern, where timely identification is essential for effective treatment. Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) algorithms are potential tools for prompt detection og breast malignancy through examination of medical images such as mammograms. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), transfer learning, and ensemble learning are some of the recent techniques being used in this field. Despite the advantages of ML and DL algorithms for breast cancer detection, there are still several challenges that need to be addressed. The lack of diversity in the datasets used to train algorithms is one major challenge, with many datasets based on specific populations that may not represent others. Highly annotated data is also limited in medical field. The objective of this study is to provide researchers with valuable insights and guidance.
