An inception‐ResNet deep learning approach to classify tumours in the ovary as benign and malignant

The classification of tumours into benign and malignant continues to date to be a very relevant and significant research topic in the cancer research domain. With the advent of Computer Vision and rapid developments in the fields of deep learning, as well as medical devices and instruments, researchers are therefore utilizing the state‐of‐the‐art deep learning architectures to discover patterns in the medical image data and thereby use this information to detect tumours and classify them as benign or malignant. In this paper, we propose a custom state‐of‐the‐art deep learning architecture, the Inception‐ResNet v2 for the classification of ovarian tumours into the two categories of benign and malignant based on a custom dataset with a validation accuracy of 97.5% and a test accuracy of 67%. Furthermore, a quantum convolutional neural network (QCNN) was also implemented with an accuracy of 92% on the validation dataset.
