The article introduces a hybrid feature selection method based on the Butterfly optimization algorithm and the Ant Lion optimizer for the design and development of a computer-based system for breast cancer detection. The method outperforms original algorithms in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and error rates, demonstrating high performance and robustness in breast cancer diagnosis.
The design and development of a computer-based system for breast cancer detection are largely reliant on feature selection techniques. These techniques are used to reduce the dimensionality of the feature space by removing irrelevant or redundant features from the original set. This article presents a hybrid feature selection method that is based on the Butterfly optimization algorithm (BOA) and the Ant Lion optimizer (ALO) to form a hybrid BOAALO method. The optimal subset of features chosen by BOAALO is utilized to predict the benign or malignant status of breast tissue using three classifiers: artificial neural network, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system, and support vector machine. The goodness of the proposed method is tested using 651 mammogram images. The results show that BOAALO outperforms the original BOA and ALO in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, kappa value, type-I, and type-II error as well as the receiver operating characteristics curve. Additionally, the suggested method's robustness is assessed and compared to five well-known methods using a benchmark dataset. The experimental findings demonstrate that BOAALO achieves a high degree of accuracy with a minimum number of features. These results support the suggested method's applicability for breast cancer diagnosis.
