摘要

This study explores a comparative analysis of base and ensemble classifiers for detecting breast cancer. The classifiers analyze data from fine needle aspiration biopsies to categorize samples as benign or malignant. Artificial intelligence (AI), specifically eXplainable AI (XAI), plays a vital role in this study by providing interpretability to the classification results. Initially, classifier models are built and optimized to ensure accurate predictions. Their performance is then evaluated using metrics like F1 score and recall to identify the most effective model. The best-performing classifier is further analyzed using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), an XAI method that highlights the significance of each feature and its contribution to the model's decisions. This approach enhances understanding of the classifier's reasoning, which is crucial for medical applications. Finally, a web application is developed to present classifier performance metrics and illustrate how decisions were made, improving transparency and usability.
