Sensitive, Specific, and Interpretable: Evolving a Fuzzy Mammographic-Interpretation Assessment Tool
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we focus on the problem of mammographic interpretation and in the construction of a computerized system to assess physicians in this task. We propose a solution based on fuzzy systems, and apply our fuzzy modeling methodology—Fuzzy CoCo—to find systems exhibiting both good performance and high interpretability. The results presented show the capacity of Fuzzy CoCo to find systems that satisfy different requirements concerning the complexity of the solution, expressed mainly as the number of rules.

SUBCLASS FUZZY-SVM CLASSIFIER AS AN EFFICIENT METHOD TO ENHANCE THE MASS DETECTION IN MAMMOGRAMS
This paper is concerned with the development of a novel classifier for automatic mass detection of mammograms, based on contourlet feature extraction in conjunction with statistical and fuzzy classifiers. In this method, mammograms are segmented into regions of interest (ROI) in order to extract features including geometrical and contourlet coefficients. The extracted features benefit from...
متن کاملA NOTE TO INTERPRETABLE FUZZY MODELS AND THEIR LEARNING
In this paper we turn the attention to a well developed theory of fuzzy/lin-guis-tic models that are interpretable and, moreover, can be learned from the data.We present four different situations demonstrating both interpretability as well as learning abilities of these models.

Abstract Vendor Selection Problem (VSP) has been considered in this paper as an integrated method of Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD) in the pharmaceutical company. In QFD method, determining the importance of the "weights" for the customer requirements is an essential and crucial issue. FAHP has been used to determine the importance of the "we...

Our recent work proposed a new meaning preservation approach together with a parameterizable nested hyperball structured search space for interpretable fuzzy systems in order to solve a problem of inconsistency observed in conventional interpretable fuzzy knowledge bases and simultaneously to address the adjustment of the trade-off between interpretability and accuracy. Based on intuitive reaso...
متن کاملAssessment of mammographic density changes on plain film mammograms in postmenopausal women on hormone replacement therapy.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Mammographic screening is an effective tool for the early detection of breast cancer. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been shown to increase mammographic density and thus may hinder early detection of small tumours. We undertook this study to determine and compare the frequency and degree of change in mammographic density in postmenopausal women in HRT using two di...
