Abstract

BACKGROUND: It is of great clinical significance to develop an accurate computer aided system to accurately diagnose the breast cancer. In this study, an enhanced machine learning framework is established to diagnose the breast cancer. The core of this framework is to adopt fruit fly optimization algorithm (FOA) enhanced by Levy flight (LF) strategy (LFOA) to optimize two key parameters of support vector machine (SVM) and build LFOA-based SVM (LFOA-SVM) for diagnosing the breast cancer. The high-level features abstracted from the volunteers are utilized to diagnose the breast cancer for the first time.
