Abstract

Biomedical image classification often deals with limited training sample due to the cost of labeling data. In this paper, we propose to combine deep learning, transfer learning and generative adversarial network to improve the classification performance. Fine-tuning on VGG16 and VGG19 network are used to extract the good discriminated cancer features from histopathological image before feeding into neuron network for classification. Experimental results show that the proposed approaches outperform the previous works in the state-of-the-art on breast cancer images dataset (BreaKHis).
