Abstract

In this paper we are apply Artificial Metaplasticity MLP (MMLPs) to Breast Cancer Classification. Artificial Metaplasticity is a novel ANN training algorithm that gives more relevance to less frequent training patterns and subtract relevance to the frequent ones during training phase, achieving a much more efficient training, while at least maintaining the Multilayer Perceptron performance. Wisconsin Breast Cancer Database (WBCD) was used to train and test MMLPs. WBCD is a well-used database in machine learning, neural networks and signal processing. Experimental results show that MMLPs reach better accuracy than any other recent results.
