Abstract
Skin cancer is a potentially fatal disease that can affect the entire body. There are seven types of skin cancer, including the potentially deadly melanoma. Early detection of skin cancer is crucial because delays in diagnosis can result in more serious health consequences. In the past, researchers have used machine learning algorithms to detect different types of skin cancer based on skin lesions. One such experiment involved the use of a convolutional neural network and a meta-learning technique. Highly imbalanced data is balanced by image augmentation, optimized using adam optimizerand Model has been trained using highest number of epochs by using early stopping and model checkpoint. Meta-learning is an evolving field that has shown promising output in terms of few-shot training specially when data availability is very low. In this study, multi-layer perceptron and random forest trained with a meta-learner showed an accuracy of 80%, outperforming other models that were tested.
