Transfer Learning from Chest X-Ray Pre-trained Convolutional Neural Network for Learning Mammogram Data

Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the deadliest cancer for female nowadays. Despite of the rapid advancement in medical image analysis with the rise of deep learning, development of breast cancer detection system is limited due to relatively small size of the publicly available mammogram dataset. In this paper, we discover an effective configuration for transfer learning from Chest X-Ray pre-trained Convolutional Neural Network to overcome the small-size mammogram dataset problem. We found that the best configuration achieve 90.38% validation accuracy for modified.
