چکیده

introduction breast cancer is the second cause of mortality among women. early detection of it can enhance the chance of survival. screening systems such as mammography cannot perfectly differentiate between patients and healthy individuals. computer-aided diagnosis can help physicians make a more accurate diagnosis. materials and methods regarding the importance of separating normal and abnormal cases in screening systems, a hierarchical classification system is defined in this paper. the proposed system is including two adaptive boosting (adaboost) classifiers, the first classifier separates the candidate images into two groups of normal and abnormal. the second classifier is applied on the abnormal group of the previous stage and divides them into benign and malignant categories. the proposed algorithm is evaluated by applying it on publicly available  mammographic image analysis society (mias) dataset. 288 images of the database are used, including 208  normal and 80 abnormal images. 47 images of the abnormal images showed benign lesion and 33 of them had malignant lesion.  results applying the proposed algorithm on mias database indicates its advantage compared to previous methods. a major improvement occurred in the first classification stage. specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy of the first classifier are obtained as 100%, 95.83%, and 97.91%, respectively. these values are calculated as 75% in the second stage   conclusion a hierarchical classification method for breast cancer detection is developed in this paper. regarding the importance of separating normal and abnormal cases in screening systems, the first classifier is devoted to separate normal and tumorous cases. experimental results on available database shown that the performance of this step is adequately high (100% specificity). the second layer is designed to detect tumor type.  the accuracy in the second layer is obtained 75%.

A New Method for Duplicate Detection Using Hierarchical Clustering of Records

Accuracy and validity of data are prerequisites of appropriate operations of any software system. Always there is possibility of occurring errors in data due to human and system faults. One of these errors is existence of duplicate records in data sources. Duplicate records refer to the same real world entity. There must be one of them in a data source, but for some reasons like aggregation of ...

A Hierarchical Spectral Method for Extreme Classification

Extreme classification problems are multiclass and multilabel classification problems where the number of outputs is so large that straightforward strategies are neither statistically nor computationally viable. One strategy for dealing with the computational burden is via a tree decomposition of the output space. While this typically leads to training and inference that scales sublinearly with...

Robust Method for E-Maximization and Hierarchical Clustering of Image Classification

We developed a new semi-supervised EM-like algorithm that is given the set of objects present in eachtraining image, but does not know which regions correspond to which objects. We have tested thealgorithm on a dataset of 860 hand-labeled color images using only color and texture features, and theresults show that our EM variant is able to break the symmetry in the initial solution. We compared...

A Method for DMUs Classification in DEA

In data envelopment analysis, anyone can do classification decision units with efficiency scores. It will be interesting if a method for classification of DMUs without regarding to efficiency score is obtained. So in this paper, the classification of Decision Making Units (DMUs) is done according to the additive model without being solved for obtaining scores efficiency. This is because it ...
