Artificial Neural Networks Learning in ROC Space

چکیده
In order to control the trade-off between sensitivity and specificity of MLP binary classifiers, we extended the Backpropagation algorithm, in batch mode, to incorporate different misclassification costs via separation of the global mean squared error between positive and negative classes. By achieving different solutions in ROC space, our algorithm improved the MLP classifier performance on imbalanced training sets. In our experiments, standard MLP and SVM algorithms were compared to our solution using real world imbalanced applications. The results demonstrated the efficiency of our approach to increase the number of correct positive classifications and improve the balance between sensitivity and specificity.

متن کاملDiagnosis of brain tumor using PNN neural networks
Cells grow and then need a very neat method to create new cells that work properly to maintain the health of the body. When the ability to control the growth of the cells is lost, they are unconsidered and often divided without order. Exemplified cells form a tissue mass called the tumor. In fact, brain tumors are abnormal and uncontrolled cell proliferations. Segmentation methods are used in b...
