Innovative Skin Melanoma Diagnosis using Deep Learning and African Gorilla Troops Optimizer

Skin melanoma, a dangerous kind of skin cancer, necessitates accurate identification and diagnosis to improve patient outcomes. The use of deep learning algorithms into medical imaging promises significant advancements in skin disease analysis, particularly melanoma diagnosis. This study looks at the usage of a novel optimisation technique, the African Gorilla Troops Optimizer (AGTO), to enhance deep learning models in the segmentation and analysis of skin images. The AGTO, which is based on African gorilla groups’ social and hunting activities, is an effective approach of improving convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for accurate and reliable skin image segmentation. The proposed approach uses AGTO to distinguish melanoma lesions from benign skin disorders, which increases their identification. Extensive research on benchmark skin image datasets has confirmed the AGTO-enhanced deep learning model’s durability and performance, emphasising its clinical use in dermatology and the proposed model shows $98 \%$ accuracy. This work not only underlines the need of advanced optimisation techniques in medical image processing, but it also paves the way for more effective diagnostic tools for skin problems.
