TL;DR

The performance of the statistical neural network structures, radial basis network (RBF), general regression neural network (GRNN) and probabilistic neuralnetwork (PNN) are examined on the Wisconsin breast cancer data (WBCD) in this paper.

Abstract

Breast cancer is the second largest cause of cancer deaths among women. The performance of the statistical neural network structures, radial basis network (RBF), general regression neural network (GRNN) and probabilistic neural network (PNN) are examined on the Wisconsin breast cancer data (WBCD) in this paper. This is a well-used database in machine learning, neural network and signal processing. Statistical neural networks are used to increase the accuracy and objectivity of breast cancer diagnosis.

This paper presents an instance-based learning approach in which typical instances are selected to store as concept descriptions, and empirically shows that some concepts in standard datasets do have graded structures.

IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy SystemsFuzzy CoCo: a cooperative-coevolutionary approach to fuzzy modeling

148 Citations2001Carlos Andrés Peña-Reyes, Moshe Sipper

This paper introduces a novel algorithm, called Fuzzy CoCo (fuzzy cooperative coevolution), and demonstrates the efficacy by applying it to a hard, real-world problem - breast cancer diagnosis, obtaining the best results to date while expending less computational effort than previous processes.

Two applications of the LSA machine

44 Citations2004Andreas Albrecht, Georgios Lappas +3 more

Two applications of a learning algorithm that combines logarithmic simulated annealing with the perceptron algorithm are presented that improve on the results published by Golub et al. (1999) by using the model of self-organising maps.
