Summary
Breast cancer is one of the most deadly cancers among women, while analysis of biopsies remains the gold standard for diagnosis. Thus, integration of Convolution Neural Networks (CNNs) into the analysis and classification of histology imaging has significantly advanced the field of pathology. This study will focus on developing a CNN to classify histological images to assist in breast cancer diagnoses. More specifically, we will be leveraging transfer learning via specified pre-trained models on a dataset of Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained breast biopsy microscopy images. This approach utilizes fine-tuning of pretrained models, image processing and augmentation, and dynamic learning rate scheduling.
