Deep Melanoma classification with K-Fold Cross-Validation for Process optimization

• Deep convolution neural networks (DCNNs) enable effective methods to predict the melanoma classes otherwise found with ultrasonic extraction. However, gathering large datasets in local hospitals in Sweden can take years. Small datasets will result in models with poor accuracy and insufficient generalization ability, which has a great impact on the result. This paper proposes to use a K-Fold cross validation approach based on a DCNN algorithm working on a small sample dataset. The performance of the model is verified via a Vgg16 extracting the features. The experimental results reveal that the model built by the approach proposed in this paper can effectively achieve a better prediction and enhance the accuracy of the model, which proves that K-Fold can achieve better performance on a small skin cancer dataset.
