Convolutional Neural Networks in the Identification of Benign and Malignant Melanomas

Melanoma is one of the most lethal types of skin cancer. However, early diagnosis increases the survival rate. The way to diagnose a malignant lesion by a physician is to visually examine the suspicious skin area. Artificial intelligence and deep-learning models have been applied to help physicians who are not as experienced. Therefore, work was done on the classification of melanomas to support the possible detection of malignant melanomas. Convolutional neural networks were used.
