Description
Summary:An automatic system for the diagnosis of lung cancer has been proposed in this manuscript. The proposed method is based on combination of genetic algorithm (GA) for the feature selection and newly proposed approach, namely the extreme learning machines (ELM) for the classification of lung cancer data. The dimension of the feature space is reduced by the GA in this scheme and the effective features are selected in this way. The data are then fed to a fuzzy inference system (FIS) which is trained by the fuzzy extreme learning machines approach. The results on real data indicate that the proposed system is very effective in the diagnosis of lung cancer and can be used for clinical applications.
