Cristina Nader Vasconcelos, Bárbara Nader Vasconcelos

Abstract: Highlights•A ternary classifier is proposed including patterns surrounding the lesion.•Oversampling of the malignant class is investigated to deal with database imbalance.•Data augmentation by both image process and lesion axis distortion are evaluated.•A set of committees exploring different combinations of CNN experts is evaluated.•The selection of models associated with epochs with minimum loss is investigated.
