Scientists have developed a new AI model that can detect skin cancer.
Aliyu Tangi Ibrahim and his team at Ahmadu Bello University in Nigeria published a study in Data Science and Management in which they introduced an advanced AI model that could revolutionize the way skin cancer is detected.
The model developed by the team divides skin lesions into seven distinct categories.
The experts’ initiative represents a major breakthrough in dermatological research and offers new hope for accurate diagnosis and improved patient care.
A state-of-the-art deep learning model integrates five transfer learning models to classify skin lesions into categories such as melanoma, basal cell carcinoma and benign keratosis, among others.
The model, trained on a large dataset of over 10,000 dermoscopic images, demonstrated an impressive accuracy of 94.49%.
