The Challenge of Soft Computing Techniques for Tumor Characterization

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 3070))

Abstract

Computational diagnosis tools are becoming indispensable to support modern medical diagnosis. This research work introduces an hybrid soft computing scheme consisting of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps and the effective Active Hebbian Learning (AHL) algorithm for tumor characterization. The proposed method exploits human experts’ knowledge on histopathology expressed in descriptive terms and concepts and it is enhanced with Hebbian learning and then it classifies tumors based on the morphology of tissues. This method was validated in clinical data and the results enforce the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
