Comparative Analysis of Deep Learning Architectures for PCOS Detection: A Cross-Validation Approach
摘要
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder affecting reproductive-aged women. Early and accurate detection of PCOS is crucial for timely intervention and treatment. In this study, we performed a comprehensive comparative analysis of six deep learning models, Custom Convolutional Neural Network, VGG16, EfficientNet V2B3, DenseNet121, ResNet50, and Inception V3, to distinguish between PCOS and non-PCOS images. Applying cross-validation to improve model evaluation and address the issue of overfitting is a novel contribution of this work, not previously documented in the literature. Our findings came up with VGG16 as the best-performed model with a validation accuracy of 99.61% and test accuracy of 100%. Further, this study is the first to report the AUC-ROC metric to provide deeper insight into model effectiveness. The study highlights the potential of other evaluation metrics for performance evaluation and paves the way for future improvements and real-world clinical applications.
