Breast Cancer Classification based on Unsupervised Linear Transformation along with the Cos Similarity Machine Learning

A seminar was held by Asst. Prof. Dr. Ashwan Anwar Abdul-Mun’im, a lecturer in the Computer Department/College of Computer Science and Information Technology. The seminar submitted a proposal to apply machine learning techniques to the problem of breast cancer classification. This classification depends on the use of the unsupervised linear transformation technique together with Cos Similarity Machine Learning. In the unsupervised transformation, the Principal Components Analysis (PCA) technique was used. PCA is used in analyzing a breast cancer dataset to identify effective and unique features. In addition,…
