ResNet-50 enhanced with ASFF improves skin lesion classification accuracy

Researchers have developed an enhanced ResNet-50 model incorporating Adaptive Spatial Feature Fusion (ASFF) to improve the accuracy of skin lesion classification. This model adaptively integrates multi-scale features, focusing on lesion-relevant regions to reduce overfitting and enhance representation. Tested on the ISIC 2020 dataset, the ASFF-based ResNet-50 achieved 93.182% accuracy, outperforming baseline models and demonstrating strong generalization on the ISIC 2019 dataset. AI

IMPACT Enhances computer-aided diagnosis systems, potentially leading to earlier and more accurate skin cancer detection.

    Skin Lesion Classification Based on ResNet-50 Enhanced With Adaptive Spatial Feature Fusion

    arXiv:2510.03876v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Skin cancer classification is challenging due to high inter-class similarity, intra-class variability, and artifacts in dermoscopic images. To address these issues, we propose an improved ResNet-50 with Adaptive Spatial Feature …
