A microarray gene expression data classification using hybrid back propagation neural network

Abstract

Classification of cancer establishes appropriate treatment and helps to decide the diagnosis. Cancer expands progressively from an alteration in a cell's genetic structure. This change (mutation) results in cells with uncontrolled growth patterns. In cancer classification, the approach, Back propagation is sufficient and also it is a universal technique of training artificial neural networks. It is also called supervised learning method. It needs many dataset for input and output for making up the training set. The back propagation method may execute the function of collaborate multiple parties. In existing method, collaborative learning is limited and it considers only two parties. The proposed collaborative function can perform well and problems can be solved by utilizing the power of cloud computing. This technical note applies hybrid models of Back Propagation Neural networks (BPN) and fast Genetic Algorithms (GA) to estimate the feature selection in gene expression data. The proposed research work examines many feature selection algorithms which are "fragile" that is, the superiority of their results varies broadly over data sets. By this research, it is suggested that this is due to higherorder interactions between features causing restricted minima in search space in which the algorithm becomes attentive. GAs may escape from such minima by chance, because works are highly stochastic. A neural net classifier with a genetic algorithm, using the GA to select features for classification by the neural net and incorporating the net as part of the objective function of the GA.
