Predicting Cervical Cancer Cases Resulting in Biopsies Using Machine Learning Techniques

Abstract

There are various algorithms and methodologies used for automated screening of cervical cancer by segmenting and classifying cervical cancer cells into different categories. This study presents a critical review of different research papers published that integrated ML methods in screening cervical cancer via different approaches analyzed in terms of typical metrics like dataset size, drawbacks, accuracy etc. An attempt has been made to furnish the reader with an insight of Machine Learning algorithms like SVM (Support Vector Machines), k-NN (k-Nearest Neighbors), RFT (Random Forest Trees), for feature extraction and classification. This paper also covers the publicly available datasets related to cervical cancer. It presents a holistic review on the computational methods that have evolved over the period of time, in detection of malignant cells. In this paper, we are going to train our model using various machine learning techniques and all the models thus made are compared in terms of accuracy, precision and recall.
