Prediction of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Classification Using Stacking Ensemble Learning
摘要
Cancer is an unusual growth of cells that lose their normal control mechanisms and are able to increase exponentially. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is more prevalent in children but also affects adults and can lead to death. It is a type of blood and bone marrow cancer which has an effect on white blood cells (WBC) whose early detection can increase the chances of survival. Therefore, it is important to develop a system to detect ALL. In this paper, four classification models: Bootstrap aggregating (bagging), adaptive boosting (AdaBoost), voting classifier (VC), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) are integrated into a stacking ensemble to detect ALL using a dataset obtained from Kaggle. ResNet50 is used for feature extraction. The results demonstrated that the proposed ensemble model Stack_Bagging has outperformed other models.
