Breast Cancer Diagnosis via Swarm-Optimized Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System

This paper discusses a method for classification of breast cancer imaging data through the application of an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) for hyperparameter optimization of the ANFIS system. A robust parameter tuning method is used to select the optimal configuration for the ANFIS and PSO components without expert knowledge of the dataset. Using these methods, high classification accuracies can be achieved for both the original and diagnostic versions of the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Dataset. These results demonstrate the flexibility and potential of a joint ANFIS-PSO system for automated diagnosis while retaining system simplicity and linguistic interpretability to support clinical decision-making.
