Benchmark Analysis of Various Pre-trained Deep Learning Models on ASSIRA Cats and Dogs Dataset

As the most basic application and implementation of deep learning, image classification has grown in popularity. Various datasets are provided by renowned data science communities for benchmarking machine learning algorithms and pre-trained models. The ASSIRA Cats & Dogs dataset is one of them and is being used in this research for its overall acceptance and benchmark standards. A comparison of various pre-trained models is demonstrated by using different types of optimizers and loss functions. Hyper-parameters are changed to gain the best result from a model. By applying this approach, we have got higher accuracy without major changes in the training model. To run the experiment, we used three different computer architectures: a laptop equipped with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070, a laptop equipped with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080Ti, and a desktop equipped with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090. The acquired results demonstrate supremacy in terms of accuracy over the previously done experiments on this dataset. From this experiment, the highest accuracy which is 99.65% is gained using the NASNet Large.

Skin Cancer Segmentation and Classification Using Vision Transformer for Automatic Analysis in Dermatoscopy-based Non-invasive Digital System

Skin cancer is a global health concern, necessitating early and accurate diagnosis for improved patient outcomes. This study introduces a groundbreaking approach to skin cancer classification, employing the Vision Transformer, a state-of-the-art deep learning architecture renowned for its success in diverse image analysis tasks. Utilizing the HAM10000 dataset of 10,015 meticulously annotated skin lesion images, the model undergoes preprocessing for enhanced robustness. The Vision Transformer, adapted to the skin cancer classification task, leverages the self-attention mechanism to capture intricate spatial dependencies, achieving superior performance over traditional deep learning architectures. Segment Anything Model aids in precise segmentation of cancerous areas, attaining high IOU and Dice Coefficient. Extensive experiments highlight the model's supremacy, particularly the Google-based ViT patch-32 variant, which achieves 96.15% accuracy and showcases potential as an effective tool for dermatologists in skin cancer diagnosis, contributing to advancements in dermatological practices.
