Abstract

Computers are able to process faster than people, but their ability to make decisions is limited. Various machine learning techniques are being developed for today's computers to make better analyzes and predictions. These techniques increase the decision-making power of computers and enable the development of support systems for experts in different fields. Machine learning techniques are being used rapidly to assist medical specialists in diagnosing diseases with their successful classification and diagnostic capabilities. Successful work can be done with machine learning, which is rapidly increasing in the use of cancer diagnosis. Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer in the world and is the most common cancer related cause of death among women. As with all other types of cancer, early diagnosis of breast cancer is critical in reducing the mortality rate. Diagnosis of breast cancer, diagnosis and interpretation of test results require specialized human knowledge, but successful studies are being carried out in the diagnosis of breast cancer by developing machine learning techniques. Machine learning is an artificial intelligence branch that allows computers to quickly identify patterns within complex and large data sets by learning from existing data. Due to this ability, machine learning is widely used in diagnosis of cancer, especially in breast cancer. In this study, the University of Wisconsin breast cancer data set, which consists of 569 samples, each with 30 features, was classified by five different machine learning techniques.Data was randomly splitted as training and test set. After the training process of Support Vector Machine, Naïve Bayes, Random Forest, K-Nearest Neighbour and Logistic Regression methods, confusion matrices and roc curves were created and the success of each method has been compared. As a result of this comparison, it has been shown that Logistic Regression is the most successful model with 98.24% accuracy.

Göğüs Kanseri Teşhisinde Farklı Makine Öğrenmesi Tekniklerinin Performans Karşılaştırması

Abstract

Bilgisayarlar insanlara
nazaran daha hızlı işlem yapabilmektedir ancak karar verme yetenekleri
kısıtlıdır. Günümüz bilgisayarlarının daha iyi analizler yapıp tahminlerde
bulunabilmeleri için çeşitli makine öğrenmesi teknikleri geliştirilmektedir. Bu
teknikler bilgisayarların karar verme güçlerini arttırmakta ve farklı sahalarda
uzmanlara destek sistemlerin geliştirilmesine olanak sağlamaktadır. Makine
öğrenmesi tekniklerinin, başarılı sınıflama ve tanılama yetenekleri ile
hastalık teşhisinde medikal uzmanlara yardımcı olarak kullanımları hızla
artmaktadır. Kanser teşhisinde de kullanımı hızla artan makine öğrenmesi ile
başarılı çalışmalar yapılabilmektedir. Göğüs kanseri dünya genelinde en yaygın
görülen ikinci kanser türü olup kadınlar
arasında kanser kaynaklı en yüksek oranda ölüme sebep olan hastalıktır.  Diğer tüm kanser türlerinde olduğu gibi göğüs kanserinin de erken
teşhisi ölüm oranını azaltmada kritik bir öneme sahiptir. Göğüs kanseri tanısı,
test sonuçların yorumlanarak teşhis edilmesi uzman insan bilgisine ihtiyaç
duymaktadır ancak gelişen makine öğrenmesi teknikleri ile göğüs kanseri
teşhisinde başarılı çalışmalar yürütülmektedir. Makine öğrenmesi
bilgisayarların mevcut verilerden öğrenerek karmaşık ve büyük veri setleri
içerisindeki desenleri hızlı bir şekilde tespit etmesini sağlayan bir yapay
zekâ dalıdır. Bu yeteneğinden dolayı makine öğrenmesi kanser tanı ve teşhisinde
özellikle göğüs kanseri konusunda da yaygın kullanım alanı bulmaktadır. Bu
çalışmada her biri 30 adet özellik içeren ve 569 örnekten oluşan Wisconsin
Üniversitesi göğüs kanseri veri seti, beş farklı makine öğrenmesi tekniği ile
sınıflandırılmıştır. Veriler rastgele olarak eğitim ve test setlerine ayrılmıştır.
Destek vektör makinesi, Naïve Bayes, rastgele orman, K en yakın komşu ve lojistik
regresyon metotları ile gerçekleştirilen eğitim sürecinin ardından confusion
matrisleri ve roc eğrileri oluşturulmuştur. Her bir tekniğin başarısı
karşılaştırılmıştır. Bu karşılaştırmanın sonucunda lojistik regresyonun %98.24
doğruluk ile en başarılı yöntem olduğu ortaya konmuştur.
