Classification of Cancer Recurrence with Alpha-Beta BAM

الملخص EN

Bidirectional Associative Memories (BAMs) based on first model proposed by Kosko do not have perfect recall of training set, and their algorithm must iterate until it reaches a stable state.

In this work, we use the model of Alpha-Beta BAM to classify automatically cancer recurrence in female patients with a previous breast cancer surgery.

Alpha-Beta BAM presents perfect recall of all the training patterns and it has a one-shot algorithm; these advantages make to Alpha-Beta BAM a suitable tool for classification.

We use data from Haberman database, and leave-one-out algorithm was applied to analyze the performance of our model as classifier.

We obtain a percentage of classification of 99.98%.
