## Abstract

Ovarian cancer is a serious sickness for elderly women. According to data, it is the seventh leading cause of death in women as well as the fifth most frequent disease worldwide. Many researchers classified ovarian cancer using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). Doctors consider classification accuracy to be an important aspect of making decisions. Doctors consider improved classification accuracy for providing proper treatment. Early and precise diagnosis lowers mortality rates and saves lives. On basis of ROI (region of interest) segmentation, this research presents a novel annotated ovarian image classification utilizing FaRe-ConvNN (rapid region-based Convolutional neural network). The input photos were divided into three categories: epithelial, germ, and stroma cells. This image is segmented as well as preprocessed. After that, FaRe-ConvNN is used to perform the annotation procedure. For region-based classification, the method compares manually annotated features as well as trained feature in FaRe-ConvNN. This will aid in the analysis of higher accuracy in disease identification, as human annotation has lesser accuracy in previous studies; therefore, this effort will empirically prove that ML classification will provide higher accuracy. Classification is done using a combination of SVC and Gaussian NB classifiers after the region-based training in FaRe-ConvNN. The ensemble technique was employed in feature classification due to better data indexing. To diagnose ovarian cancer, the simulation provides an accurate portion of the input image. FaRe-ConvNN has a precision value of more than 95%, SVC has a precision value of 95.96%, and Gaussian NB has a precision value of 97.7%, with FR-CNN enhancing precision in Gaussian NB. For recall/sensitivity, SVC is 94.31 percent and Gaussian NB is 97.7 percent, while for specificity, SVC is 97.39 percent and Gaussian NB is 98.69 percent using FaRe-ConvNN.

## 1. Introduction

One of the most common types of cancer in women is Ovarian Cancer (OC). In year 2018, 295,414 women were diagnosed with ovarian cancer, which resulted in 184,799 deaths around the world. Since early-stage tumors are often asymptomatic, most women with ovarian cancer have advanced disease at the time of diagnosis, resulting in a lower long-term survival [1]. Although ovarian tumors are chemosensitive as well as exhibit initial success against platinum/taxane treatment, the 5-year recurrence rates in patients with advanced illness are 60 percent to 80 percent [2].It is characterized by early-stage symptoms that are modest and a low survival rate. The most common as well as dangerous gynecologic cancer is OC. Serous, mucinous, Endometroid, and clear cell ovarian cancer are four subtypes of primary epithelial ovarian carcinoma [3]. According to earlier research, one out of every 54 women can acquire OC.5-year survival rate for a patient diagnosed with OC is roughly 48.6%[4]. The low survival rate is largely attributable to cancer discovery at an advanced stage, with 72 percent of patients diagnosed at stage III or IV. As a result, early detection is critical. Attempts to detect OC in the preclinical stage have been made in the past, employing both medical imaging and blood markers. Although these biomarkers show promise, they have a number of drawbacks, including missing classification, sluggishness, and longer working hours [5].Although the Serum Carbohydrate Antigen (CA125) is commonly utilized, its accuracy rate is low due to its high sensitivity. Ultrasound imaging, MRI, and CT scan are some of the imaging modalities that are used to locate and characterize tumors. Early detection of any medical condition, particularly cancer, is critical for improving survival rates. Medical imaging is one of the most successful ways for early-stage diagnosis, prediction of brain imaging modalities, monitoring cancer stages, and follow-up procedures after cancer therapy, according to studies. Manually interpreting the data from these medical photographs is time-consuming and prone to human error [6]. The normal ovary and origin of three types of ovarian cancer have been shown in Figure 1. There are three main types of ovarian tumors.Figure 1
Normal ovary and types of ovarian cancer.


### 1.1. Epithelial Tumors

This type of tumors is derived from the cells on the surface of the ovary. This is the most common form of ovarian cancer and occurs primarily in adults.


### 1.2. Germ Cell Tumors

This type of tumors is derived from the egg producing cells within the body of the ovary. This occurs primarily in children and teens and is rare by comparison to epithelial ovarian tumors.


### 1.3. Stromal tumors

These tumors are rare in comparison to epithelial tumors and this class of tumors often produces steroid hormones.In addition, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) methods are frequently employed to assist physicians and pathologists in better analyzing the outcomes of medical images. ML methods are employed in a CAD-based medical imaging strategy for cancer detection [7]. Feature extraction is a crucial stage in the machine learning approach [8]. In the literature, many feature extraction approaches have been examined and analyzed in the context of various MRI, CT, and ultrasound images. Previous work has focused on generating worthy feature descriptors and ML methods for context learning from various types of medical images. These methods have some drawbacks that limit the use of CAD-based medical diagnostic procedures. In this study, we focus on representation learning rather than a learning-based strategy to solve the shortcomings of CAD-based systems. Deep Learning learns from image data using hierarchical feature representation, a form of representation learning technique [9]. The image data itself is used to produce high-level feature representation. The deep learning approach has gained huge profits and success in different applications like image recognition, objection detection, speech processing, and many others [10] with the addition and support of considerable parallel architecture and GPU. Physicians classify patients’ symptoms into one of several illness classes based on their understanding. Learning categorization model is a learning challenge in this study for ovarian problems. A broad classification approach was discovered through data analysis. Training data containing cases such as objects or instances is characterized using attribute vectors (features or variables). It could be either quantitative or qualitative in nature. In supervised learning, mutually exclusive cases, as well as class data, are employed for learning, when all cases have the same attribute vector from the same class.

## 2. Literature Survey

Recent research [9] has demonstrated that combining genetic data with pathology images to diagnose tumors is very effective. For predicting breast cancer outcome, researchers [10] combined pathology images and genetic data. To connect the heterogeneous data of two modalities, a multiple kernel learning method was used. Method had an accuracy of 0.8022 and a precision of 0.7273. M2DP, a multi-modal task feature selection technique for cancer diagnosis, was introduced in [11]. Method was tested utilizing a breast cancer benchmark and a lung cancer benchmark, with an accuracy of 72.53 percent and 70.08 percent. In [12], the author proposed a various kernel strategies for forecasting lung carcinomas by combining genomic data with pathological aspects of images, with an accuracy of 0.8022 [13]. Using a DL model, the machine fully extracted deep features from the gene as well as image modalities, and then combined the disparate features utilizing weighted linear aggregation. The accuracy of prediction was 88.07 percent. Recent developments in CNN and other DL methods have profound implications in medical diagnostics. For histopathologic analysis of prostate cancer, the author [14] used a deep residual CNN. The model correctly classified the image patches into benign and malignant at a coarse level of 91.5 percent of the time. Using residual networks, study [15] presented a method for automatically classifying brain cancers (ResNet50 architecture). On a patient-by-patient basis, the model accuracy was 0.97. For classifying dermoscopy images, author [16] utilized deep GoogleNet Inception. Precision was 0.677 [17]. DenseNet-161 and ResNet-50 were used in this study. The F-score of the DenseNet-161 model was 92.38 percent, while the accuracy was 91.57 percent. However, many jobs in the realm of medical applications are reliant on long-range interdependence [18]. RNN methods are the most popular approaches for learning longitudinal data in depth. LSTM [19] is an RNN version that captures both LSTM dependencies within sequential input. The F-score for the method was 0.8905 [20]. Table 1 depicts the comparative analysis of proposed and existing techniques.Table 1

## 3. Research Methodology

This section discusses the proposed technique in ovarian cancer detection based on segmentation and classification using deep learning architectures. Overfitting and other errors might occur if the training sample is too small. To enhance classification accuracy, we increased the sample size in our study by manipulating images [22]. Image enhancement and rotation are examples of image manipulation. To improve sample sizes, we rotated original input images from 0° to 270° in 90° steps around their center point. Our two groups of data produced two separate recognition models [23]: one used the original image dataset as training data without image segmentation and other utilized the image dataset as training data, with a sample size 11 times larger than the original image dataset. Figure 2 depicts the architecture of this study process [24].Figure 2
Proposed methodology for the classification of ovarian cancer.The input image was divided into three categories: epithelial, germ, and stroma cells. The image is first preprocessed for noise reduction as well as filtering. This image was manually tagged as well as trained utilizing the standard training model [25]. This study used a NN known as the FaRe-ConvNN to compensate for hand annotation. Using FaRe-ConvNN, an object is detected using a trained image and a manually segmented image. Since the convolution is used to detect edges, both features are annotated based on region. Image segmentation has annotated contextual features. The accuracy of disease detection utilizing computer-assisted diagnosis is higher than that of manual detection. Gaussian NB and SVC are utilized for classification when FaRe-ConvNN is applied [26].Through various processing techniques or combinations of multiple processing, such as random rotation, shifts, shear, flips, etc., image augmentation artificially generates training images. The validation error must drop along with the training error in order to create useful Deep Learning models. This can be done very well with data augmentation. The distance between the training and validation sets, as well as any upcoming testing sets, will be minimized because the augmented image will represent a wider range of potential image locations. The suggested method seeks to enhance segmentation outcomes by creating a new MRI image dataset from an existing MRI image dataset. In this work, the segmentation of the ovarian imaging collection is specifically discussed. It is stated that the segmentation task entails locating the pixels that belong to the ovarian cancer image and separating the nuclei from the surrounding tissue. We can totally rearrange the pixels in an image enhancement process that involves flipping an image horizontally or vertically while maintaining the features. Images may be at a range of angles, though they are unlikely to be upside down. Each image may be rotated by a different amount. The majority of the image’s pixel values have changed from the original image’s values.Incorrect pixel values that are randomly distributed throughout the image can also be used to add noise to the image. Each image in the training set can be enhanced using standard augmentation methods like flips and rotations without requiring manual image processing. Batches of photos are pulled from the directory by “ImageDataGenerator,” which then applies transformations like “vertical flip,” “horizontal flip,” or “rotation range.”The enhanced images first go through pre-processing to improve them before computation. The pre-processing step primarily results in the collection of images under various methods of image examination. It changes the applied image into a new one that is essentially identical to the applied image, with a few minor differences. Resizing, masking, segmentation, normalization, noise removal, and other pre-processing procedures are some of them. By downsizing the photos and filtering the noises that are present in the image, this study preprocesses the applied product images. Each image is changed to its default size of 300 × 300 pixels before being resized. Resized photographs are sent to the filtering process so that the product images can produce better results.


### 3.1. Cancer Detection Using FaRe-ConvNN

#### 3.1.1. Convolution Layer

A set of filters make up the convolutional layer. The learnable parameters of layer are the values of these filters. When it comes to CNNs, the goal behind convolution is to extract features from an image while keeping the spatial relationship between pixels as well as learnt features inside the image by using small, equal-sized tiles. For anMN 3 input image with K filters of size I J in the first convolutional layer, where I <<< N and 3 indicate the color channels. Every element from input image as well as filter matrix undergoes a mathematical process, which results in the learned features [4]. This is what it means:(1)xi,jl=∑a∑bwa,bl−1,fyi+a,j+bl−1+biasf,where yi,jl is output of layer l,wa,bl−1,f is weight of filter f which is used at layer l-1. To put it another way, the filter slides through all of the image’s elements and multiplies each one, resulting in a single matrix called a feature map. Size of the feature map matrix is determined by the depth and stride.Additionally, an activation function known as ReLU is commonly utilized to introduce non-linearity to CNNs, allowing them to learn nonlinear models. This rectifier approach is most commonly utilized since ReLU considerably enhances CNN object identification performance [27].


#### 3.1.2. Pooling Layer

Pooling is one of ConvNet’s unique concepts, as previously noted. Pooling step’s goal is to lower the dimensionality of every feature map by removing noisy, unnecessary convolutions and computation networks while keeping the majority of the critical data. There are several types, including Max, Sum, and Average, but max-pooling is the most popular and recommended [28]. In max-pooling, a spatial neighborhood is constructed, and the max unit is obtained from the feature map depending on the filter dimension, which are 2×2 windows, for example. Figure 3 displays max-pooling with a 2×2 window as well as a stride of 2, which reduces the dimensionality of the Feature Map by picking the maximum of each region.Figure 3
Example of max-pooling.


#### 3.1.3. Fully Connected Layer

It comes directly before the output layer in a ConvNet and functions like a standard NN at end of convolutional as well as pooling layers. Each neuron on a fully connected layer is coupled to each neuron on the layer before the FC layer. The FC Layer’s goal is to utilize the preceding layer’s output features to classify images using the training dataset. In essence, a CNN’s fully connected layers act as a classifier, with convolutional layer outputs serving as classifier’s input [29].Figure4 shows the unified structure of FaRe-ConvNN and RPN. Modern object detectors have anchor boxes as a standard feature. A rectangular box is acquired for every object in an image during object detection, resulting in many boxes of varied shapes as well as sizes in every image.Figure 4
FR-CNN network with RPN.The images are first separated into grids. The reason for this is that medical photographs are typically quite large. You also want to make sure that each grid has labeling (done by specialists). CNN [30] is trained on each grid. Each grid is provided with a mask that states “cancerous” or “non-cancerous” when it is transmitted. Then, as you glide through each grid, train the NN to recognize each grid's mask.


#### 3.1.4. Region Proposal Network

Feature map is RPN’s input, while the output is a series of rectangular object proposals, each with an objectless score [31]. The selective search takes 2 seconds per image to propose a region, whereas RPN takes only 10 ms. Anchor boxes with three aspect ratios and three scales are used by FaRe-ConvNN. As a result, there are 9 anchor boxes for every pixel in the feature map. A simple convolution layer with a kernel size of 3∗3 is followed by two FC layers in the architecture. 1∗1 convolutional layers are used to create this fully connected layer. The classification layer’s output size should be 2∗9, whereas the regression layer’s output size should be 4∗9. For each pixel in the feature map, the total number of predictions [32] will now be (4 + 2)∗9∗(H∗W).


#### 3.1.5. Loss Function

Loss function utilized in FR-CNN is represented by the following:(2)Lpi,ti=1Ncls∑jmZLclspi,pi∗+λ1Lreg∑inYpi∗Lclspi,pi∗.As previously stated, regression offset is determined using the closest anchor box. Anchor boxes are now acting as region proposals, which is related to the region proposal technique. At training time, all anchor boxes do not contribute to loss. Positive labels are given to anchors with the biggest IOU with ground truth as well as IOU overlap greater than 0.7. The training purpose is not served by anchors that are neither positive nor negative. Anchors that cross borders are also ignored [33].Consider datayj with labels zj such that ×=yj,xj|yj∈Rm,zj∈Rn,j=1,…M a FaRe-ConvNN finds function fDNN:Rm⟶Rn to weave via data such that fDNNyj≅zj as much as possible through the utility of 3 various parts: An activation function ρ:Rmi−1⟶Rm˙ixi−1∈Rmi−1 would satisfy by the following:(3)xi=ρΘi−1⋅xi−1+ai−1.Objective function isMinF from (4) where(4)F=MinMin∑x=1xMinf1−Minf2+Minf3,where(5)f1=Min∑i=1l∑y=1Y∑z=1ztixyzlixyxf2=MaxI∗X∑i=1l∑x=1X∑y=1Y∑z=1Ztixyzlixyxf3=min∑i=11∑y=1Y∑z=1zlixyztixyz−∑i=11∑y=1Y∑z=1zlix+1yztix+1yz≈0∀Mx,x=1,2,X−1=1,L,,x−1.Decision variables and constraints have been given by following:(6)∑y=1Y∑x=1X∑z=1zlixyz=∑y=1Y∑x=1XMixyToixy∀OyofJiandi,i=1,2,I&y=1,2,Y∑x=1X∑z=1zlixyz=∑x=1xMixyToixy∀Oy&Ji,i=1,2,I&y=1,2,Y∑x=1xMixy=1∀OyofJi,andi,i=1,2,I&y=1,2,Y.Consider an affine approximation tofX=Y−HcXHr⊤F2 in (2) at Xl and the following update rule:(7)Xl+1=argminXfXl+TrX−Xl⊤∇fXl+12ηX−XlF2+λGX,where X−XlF2 serves as proximal term is expressed as follows:(8)Xl+1=PνXl−η∇fXl,where Pν is the proximal operator corresponding to G and ν=λη. From (9) and (10), proximity operator is defined.(9)GX=X1≜∑i=1M∑j=1NXi,j.(10)PνXij=sgnXijmXij−ν,0,where sgn⋅ denotes signum function. The update that results is identical to usual iterative ISTA. Utilizing 11 gradient expression,(11)∇fX=Hc⊤HcXHr−YHr⊤.Equation (12)is expressed in following form:(12)Xl+1=PνXl−ηHc⊤HcXlHrHr⊤+C.The activation functionψ is defined as a linear combination of K DoG, and linear function is defined as the following equations:(13)ψu=∑k=1Kckϕku,u∈R,where(14)ϕku=uexp−k−1u22τ2.Training datasetD contains N examples Yq,Xqq=1N, where Yq=HcXqHr⊤+ξq∗ Random noise vectors ξq are considered to be equally distributed as well as independent. Let cl∈RK,l=1 be coefficients of LET activation in layer [34]. By reducing squared estimation error over all training examples, the optimal set of activation specifications c∗ is obtained as follows:(15)Jc=12∑q=1NXqLYq,c−Xq22.Gradient ofJ (c) with respect to c is required for optimization. Unless a very tiny step size is specified, optimization of J (c) utilizing vanilla GD tends to diverge. We get around this problem by pointing out that the Hessian does not have to be computed directly. To train the network’s parameters, all that is required is the Hessian-vector product. Search direction δc∗ is determined in Ith iterate ci of HFO by minimizing a second-order Taylor-series approximation J˜(c) to actual cost J (c) by the following:(16)Jci+δc˜=Jci+δc⊤gi+12δc⊤Hiδc,where gi=∇Jc|c=ci,Hi=∇2Jc|c=ci, and δc is search direction to be selected optimally at each iteration by reducing a normalized quadratic approximation by (17):(17)δc∗=argminδcJci+δc˜+γδc22.Xt+1=Xt+Lévyd×XtLévyx=0.01×r1×σr21/βσ=Γ1+β×sinπβ/2Γ1+β/2×β×2β−1/21/β.The dimension of the position vectors isd. In the range [0, 1], R1, r2 are two random values, β is a constant, and Γ(x) = (x − 1)! Equation (18) is used to determine the fitness function here:(18)fiti=11+fifi=1nj∑i=1njdXj,Ci.The level set functionϕ is a surface that is positive inside region Ω, negative outside the region Ω, defined over image space. The level set equation in its most general form is as follows:(19)∂φ∂t=−F.∇φ,φx,y,t=0=±dF=−αk⋅g−β⋅g−λ∇g⋅∇φ∇φ′g=11+∇Gσ⊗IXβGσε=1πne−ε/σ2∂φx,y,t∂t=αk⋅gx,y⋅∇φ+β⋅gx⋅y⋅∇φ+λ⋅∇g⋅∇φφX,t>0,ifX∈ΩφX,t=0,ifX∈Γ,φX,t<0,otherwise.


#### 3.1.6. Training

A CNN should be trained on a large database of images in order to attain low error rates. Backpropagation is utilized to train CNN by computing the gradient required for updating the network’s weights. Depending on which layer is being taught, there are number of different steps to train the CNN [35].The backpropagation mechanism is used in the FC layer. The squared error loss function, as shown in (1), must first be used to estimate the error or cost function indicated E(yL) at the output layer as follows:(20)EN=12∑n=1N∑k=1ctargetkn−ykn2,targetkn is the nth training example target of class k, while ykn is the actual output from last layer.Derivative of error function is partial derivative from output layer [25], as shown in the following:(21)∂1∂yiL=d1dyiLEyL.For every input to current neuron,∂E/∂xj1 usually known as delta must be determined.(22)∂E∂xj1=σ′xj1∂E∂yi1.σxj1 relates ReLU function σ is used to xj1 which is input to the current neuron. After you’ve completed this for all neurons, you’ll need to calculate the errors from the previous layer.(23)∂E∂yi1−1=∑wij1−1∂E∂xj1,where wij1−1 is weight connected to input xj1 in next layer. Then, until input to the first completely linked layer is reached, (7) and (8) are repeated, resulting in the network's higher reasoning [36], or dense layers, training on one training sample. (9) represents the change in weight, which is supplementary to old weight:(24)Δwij1−1=−η∂E∂yi∣−1,where η is the learning rate.


#### 3.1.7. Backpropagation-Max Pooling Layers

Backpropagation in convolutional layers is varied from that in the FC layer. Gradients for each weight in FC layers must be modified for the current layer. Since convolutional layer shares weights, eachxi,j−1 expression with weight wab must be included. The gradient component for individual [37] weights are computed using the chain rule in the following way: ∂E/∂wab. This entails calculating affection of the loss function E based on a single pixel change in the weight kernel:(25)∂E∂wab=∑i=0N−m∑j=0N−m∂E∂xij1∂xij1∂wab,where ∂xij1/∂wab=yi+aj+b1−1This is evaluated by utilizing chain rule again as in the following:(26)∂E∂xij1=∂E∂yij1∂yij1∂xij1=∂E∂yij1∂∂xij1σxij1=∂E∂yij1σ′xij1.Since the error at the current layer is already known, deltas may be simply determined by calculating the derivative of activation function. The activation function ismax0;xij1 answer one or zero except for xij1=0 when its derivative is not defined [38]. Following that, error must be transmitted to the preceding tier. This is accomplished once more by utilizing chain rule as shown in the following equation:(27)∑a=0m−1∑b=0m−1∂E∂x1−aj−b1∂x1−aj−b1∂yjj−1=∑a=0m−1∑b=0m−1∂E∂x1−aj−b1wab.This equation represents a convolution in whichwab has been flipped along both axes. It is also worth noting that this will not work for values at the top as well as the bottom.Algorithm 1: ROI segmentation with FaRe-ConvNN for Classification.

#### 3.1.8. SVC (Support Vector Classifier)

Consider setx=xi1,x2,…,xnwithxi∈ℜp has a convincing pattern, that is grouped into positive class and negative class. The data are then considered as follows:(28)w.xi+b=0,where w is weights vector and b is scalar.The problem of hyperplaneH0 is same as finding optimal split field with the biggest margin value, which is expressed as follows:(29)min12w2yiwT.xi+≥1,i=1,…,n.The linear case data in (29)classification nicely demonstrates how data can be divided into two types. Therefore, the slack variable si needs to be added so that yiwT.xi+≥1−si is obtained.Following functions (29) can be used to solve the problem in equation as follows:(30)min12w2+C∑sini=1,with constrains(31)yiwT.xi+≥1−si,i=1,…,n.andsi≥0for∀.C helps to reduce the model's complexity and minimize training errors. The optimization issue in equations (11)–(13) is written as an optimization [39] issue without constraints in (32) using the Lagrange function, as follows:(32)minLpw,b,s,a=12w2+C∑sini=1+∑αi1−yiwT.xi+−sini=1.Non-negative variables are known as Lagrange Multiplier where ≥ 0. Goal of (14) is to reduce Lp to w and b while simultaneously increasing Lp to w. The dual issue of (14) can be solved using partial derivatives Lp to w, b, and s as follows:(33)maksLd=∑i=1nai−12∑i=1n∑i=1naiajyiyjxi,xj,with constraints(34)0≤ai≤C,withi=1,…,nand∑i=1naiyi=0.


#### 3.1.9. Gaussian NB (Naives Bayes)

Nave Bayes is a simple and quick classification method that relies on the Bayes theorem and is expressed by the following:(35)PY=PXPXPY.This classifier assumes that each variable contributes equally to the outcome on its own. Every characteristic is now independent of the others, and output is likewise affected by the same weight. As a result, the Nave Bayes theorem cannot be applied to real-world problems, and when this approach is utilized, only poor accuracy is obtained. As a result, Gaussian NB is utilized, which assumes that features have a normal distribution. Features have a conditional probability and are presumed to be Gaussian. Equation (36) gives the Gaussian NB as follows:(36)Py=12πσ2yexp exp−xi−μy22σ2.

A set of filters make up the convolutional layer. The learnable parameters of layer are the values of these filters. When it comes to CNNs, the goal behind convolution is to extract features from an image while keeping the spatial relationship between pixels as well as learnt features inside the image by using small, equal-sized tiles. For anMN 3 input image with K filters of size I J in the first convolutional layer, where I <<< N and 3 indicate the color channels. Every element from input image as well as filter matrix undergoes a mathematical process, which results in the learned features [4]. This is what it means:(1)xi,jl=∑a∑bwa,bl−1,fyi+a,j+bl−1+biasf,where yi,jl is output of layer l,wa,bl−1,f is weight of filter f which is used at layer l-1. To put it another way, the filter slides through all of the image’s elements and multiplies each one, resulting in a single matrix called a feature map. Size of the feature map matrix is determined by the depth and stride.Additionally, an activation function known as ReLU is commonly utilized to introduce non-linearity to CNNs, allowing them to learn nonlinear models. This rectifier approach is most commonly utilized since ReLU considerably enhances CNN object identification performance [27].


### 3.1.2. Pooling Layer

Pooling is one of ConvNet’s unique concepts, as previously noted. Pooling step’s goal is to lower the dimensionality of every feature map by removing noisy, unnecessary convolutions and computation networks while keeping the majority of the critical data. There are several types, including Max, Sum, and Average, but max-pooling is the most popular and recommended [28]. In max-pooling, a spatial neighborhood is constructed, and the max unit is obtained from the feature map depending on the filter dimension, which are 2×2 windows, for example. Figure 3 displays max-pooling with a 2×2 window as well as a stride of 2, which reduces the dimensionality of the Feature Map by picking the maximum of each region.Figure 3
Example of max-pooling.


### 3.1.3. Fully Connected Layer

It comes directly before the output layer in a ConvNet and functions like a standard NN at end of convolutional as well as pooling layers. Each neuron on a fully connected layer is coupled to each neuron on the layer before the FC layer. The FC Layer’s goal is to utilize the preceding layer’s output features to classify images using the training dataset. In essence, a CNN’s fully connected layers act as a classifier, with convolutional layer outputs serving as classifier’s input [29].Figure4 shows the unified structure of FaRe-ConvNN and RPN. Modern object detectors have anchor boxes as a standard feature. A rectangular box is acquired for every object in an image during object detection, resulting in many boxes of varied shapes as well as sizes in every image.Figure 4
FR-CNN network with RPN.The images are first separated into grids. The reason for this is that medical photographs are typically quite large. You also want to make sure that each grid has labeling (done by specialists). CNN [30] is trained on each grid. Each grid is provided with a mask that states “cancerous” or “non-cancerous” when it is transmitted. Then, as you glide through each grid, train the NN to recognize each grid's mask.


### 3.1.4. Region Proposal Network

Feature map is RPN’s input, while the output is a series of rectangular object proposals, each with an objectless score [31]. The selective search takes 2 seconds per image to propose a region, whereas RPN takes only 10 ms. Anchor boxes with three aspect ratios and three scales are used by FaRe-ConvNN. As a result, there are 9 anchor boxes for every pixel in the feature map. A simple convolution layer with a kernel size of 3∗3 is followed by two FC layers in the architecture. 1∗1 convolutional layers are used to create this fully connected layer. The classification layer’s output size should be 2∗9, whereas the regression layer’s output size should be 4∗9. For each pixel in the feature map, the total number of predictions [32] will now be (4 + 2)∗9∗(H∗W).


### 3.1.5. Loss Function

Loss function utilized in FR-CNN is represented by the following:(2)Lpi,ti=1Ncls∑jmZLclspi,pi∗+λ1Lreg∑inYpi∗Lclspi,pi∗.As previously stated, regression offset is determined using the closest anchor box. Anchor boxes are now acting as region proposals, which is related to the region proposal technique. At training time, all anchor boxes do not contribute to loss. Positive labels are given to anchors with the biggest IOU with ground truth as well as IOU overlap greater than 0.7. The training purpose is not served by anchors that are neither positive nor negative. Anchors that cross borders are also ignored [33].Consider datayj with labels zj such that ×=yj,xj|yj∈Rm,zj∈Rn,j=1,…M a FaRe-ConvNN finds function fDNN:Rm⟶Rn to weave via data such that fDNNyj≅zj as much as possible through the utility of 3 various parts: An activation function ρ:Rmi−1⟶Rm˙ixi−1∈Rmi−1 would satisfy by the following:(3)xi=ρΘi−1⋅xi−1+ai−1.Objective function isMinF from (4) where(4)F=MinMin∑x=1xMinf1−Minf2+Minf3,where(5)f1=Min∑i=1l∑y=1Y∑z=1ztixyzlixyxf2=MaxI∗X∑i=1l∑x=1X∑y=1Y∑z=1Ztixyzlixyxf3=min∑i=11∑y=1Y∑z=1zlixyztixyz−∑i=11∑y=1Y∑z=1zlix+1yztix+1yz≈0∀Mx,x=1,2,X−1=1,L,,x−1.Decision variables and constraints have been given by following:(6)∑y=1Y∑x=1X∑z=1zlixyz=∑y=1Y∑x=1XMixyToixy∀OyofJiandi,i=1,2,I&y=1,2,Y∑x=1X∑z=1zlixyz=∑x=1xMixyToixy∀Oy&Ji,i=1,2,I&y=1,2,Y∑x=1xMixy=1∀OyofJi,andi,i=1,2,I&y=1,2,Y.Consider an affine approximation tofX=Y−HcXHr⊤F2 in (2) at Xl and the following update rule:(7)Xl+1=argminXfXl+TrX−Xl⊤∇fXl+12ηX−XlF2+λGX,where X−XlF2 serves as proximal term is expressed as follows:(8)Xl+1=PνXl−η∇fXl,where Pν is the proximal operator corresponding to G and ν=λη. From (9) and (10), proximity operator is defined.(9)GX=X1≜∑i=1M∑j=1NXi,j.(10)PνXij=sgnXijmXij−ν,0,where sgn⋅ denotes signum function. The update that results is identical to usual iterative ISTA. Utilizing 11 gradient expression,(11)∇fX=Hc⊤HcXHr−YHr⊤.Equation (12)is expressed in following form:(12)Xl+1=PνXl−ηHc⊤HcXlHrHr⊤+C.The activation functionψ is defined as a linear combination of K DoG, and linear function is defined as the following equations:(13)ψu=∑k=1Kckϕku,u∈R,where(14)ϕku=uexp−k−1u22τ2.Training datasetD contains N examples Yq,Xqq=1N, where Yq=HcXqHr⊤+ξq∗ Random noise vectors ξq are considered to be equally distributed as well as independent. Let cl∈RK,l=1 be coefficients of LET activation in layer [34]. By reducing squared estimation error over all training examples, the optimal set of activation specifications c∗ is obtained as follows:(15)Jc=12∑q=1NXqLYq,c−Xq22.Gradient ofJ (c) with respect to c is required for optimization. Unless a very tiny step size is specified, optimization of J (c) utilizing vanilla GD tends to diverge. We get around this problem by pointing out that the Hessian does not have to be computed directly. To train the network’s parameters, all that is required is the Hessian-vector product. Search direction δc∗ is determined in Ith iterate ci of HFO by minimizing a second-order Taylor-series approximation J˜(c) to actual cost J (c) by the following:(16)Jci+δc˜=Jci+δc⊤gi+12δc⊤Hiδc,where gi=∇Jc|c=ci,Hi=∇2Jc|c=ci, and δc is search direction to be selected optimally at each iteration by reducing a normalized quadratic approximation by (17):(17)δc∗=argminδcJci+δc˜+γδc22.Xt+1=Xt+Lévyd×XtLévyx=0.01×r1×σr21/βσ=Γ1+β×sinπβ/2Γ1+β/2×β×2β−1/21/β.The dimension of the position vectors isd. In the range [0, 1], R1, r2 are two random values, β is a constant, and Γ(x) = (x − 1)! Equation (18) is used to determine the fitness function here:(18)fiti=11+fifi=1nj∑i=1njdXj,Ci.The level set functionϕ is a surface that is positive inside region Ω, negative outside the region Ω, defined over image space. The level set equation in its most general form is as follows:(19)∂φ∂t=−F.∇φ,φx,y,t=0=±dF=−αk⋅g−β⋅g−λ∇g⋅∇φ∇φ′g=11+∇Gσ⊗IXβGσε=1πne−ε/σ2∂φx,y,t∂t=αk⋅gx,y⋅∇φ+β⋅gx⋅y⋅∇φ+λ⋅∇g⋅∇φφX,t>0,ifX∈ΩφX,t=0,ifX∈Γ,φX,t<0,otherwise.


### 3.1.6. Training

A CNN should be trained on a large database of images in order to attain low error rates. Backpropagation is utilized to train CNN by computing the gradient required for updating the network’s weights. Depending on which layer is being taught, there are number of different steps to train the CNN [35].The backpropagation mechanism is used in the FC layer. The squared error loss function, as shown in (1), must first be used to estimate the error or cost function indicated E(yL) at the output layer as follows:(20)EN=12∑n=1N∑k=1ctargetkn−ykn2,targetkn is the nth training example target of class k, while ykn is the actual output from last layer.Derivative of error function is partial derivative from output layer [25], as shown in the following:(21)∂1∂yiL=d1dyiLEyL.For every input to current neuron,∂E/∂xj1 usually known as delta must be determined.(22)∂E∂xj1=σ′xj1∂E∂yi1.σxj1 relates ReLU function σ is used to xj1 which is input to the current neuron. After you’ve completed this for all neurons, you’ll need to calculate the errors from the previous layer.(23)∂E∂yi1−1=∑wij1−1∂E∂xj1,where wij1−1 is weight connected to input xj1 in next layer. Then, until input to the first completely linked layer is reached, (7) and (8) are repeated, resulting in the network's higher reasoning [36], or dense layers, training on one training sample. (9) represents the change in weight, which is supplementary to old weight:(24)Δwij1−1=−η∂E∂yi∣−1,where η is the learning rate.


### 3.1.7. Backpropagation-Max Pooling Layers

Backpropagation in convolutional layers is varied from that in the FC layer. Gradients for each weight in FC layers must be modified for the current layer. Since convolutional layer shares weights, eachxi,j−1 expression with weight wab must be included. The gradient component for individual [37] weights are computed using the chain rule in the following way: ∂E/∂wab. This entails calculating affection of the loss function E based on a single pixel change in the weight kernel:(25)∂E∂wab=∑i=0N−m∑j=0N−m∂E∂xij1∂xij1∂wab,where ∂xij1/∂wab=yi+aj+b1−1This is evaluated by utilizing chain rule again as in the following:(26)∂E∂xij1=∂E∂yij1∂yij1∂xij1=∂E∂yij1∂∂xij1σxij1=∂E∂yij1σ′xij1.Since the error at the current layer is already known, deltas may be simply determined by calculating the derivative of activation function. The activation function ismax0;xij1 answer one or zero except for xij1=0 when its derivative is not defined [38]. Following that, error must be transmitted to the preceding tier. This is accomplished once more by utilizing chain rule as shown in the following equation:(27)∑a=0m−1∑b=0m−1∂E∂x1−aj−b1∂x1−aj−b1∂yjj−1=∑a=0m−1∑b=0m−1∂E∂x1−aj−b1wab.This equation represents a convolution in whichwab has been flipped along both axes. It is also worth noting that this will not work for values at the top as well as the bottom.Algorithm 1: ROI segmentation with FaRe-ConvNN for Classification.

### 3.1.8. SVC (Support Vector Classifier)

Consider setx=xi1,x2,…,xnwithxi∈ℜp has a convincing pattern, that is grouped into positive class and negative class. The data are then considered as follows:(28)w.xi+b=0,where w is weights vector and b is scalar.The problem of hyperplaneH0 is same as finding optimal split field with the biggest margin value, which is expressed as follows:(29)min12w2yiwT.xi+≥1,i=1,…,n.The linear case data in (29)classification nicely demonstrates how data can be divided into two types. Therefore, the slack variable si needs to be added so that yiwT.xi+≥1−si is obtained.Following functions (29) can be used to solve the problem in equation as follows:(30)min12w2+C∑sini=1,with constrains(31)yiwT.xi+≥1−si,i=1,…,n.andsi≥0for∀.C helps to reduce the model's complexity and minimize training errors. The optimization issue in equations (11)–(13) is written as an optimization [39] issue without constraints in (32) using the Lagrange function, as follows:(32)minLpw,b,s,a=12w2+C∑sini=1+∑αi1−yiwT.xi+−sini=1.Non-negative variables are known as Lagrange Multiplier where ≥ 0. Goal of (14) is to reduce Lp to w and b while simultaneously increasing Lp to w. The dual issue of (14) can be solved using partial derivatives Lp to w, b, and s as follows:(33)maksLd=∑i=1nai−12∑i=1n∑i=1naiajyiyjxi,xj,with constraints(34)0≤ai≤C,withi=1,…,nand∑i=1naiyi=0.


### 3.1.9. Gaussian NB (Naives Bayes)

Nave Bayes is a simple and quick classification method that relies on the Bayes theorem and is expressed by the following:(35)PY=PXPXPY.This classifier assumes that each variable contributes equally to the outcome on its own. Every characteristic is now independent of the others, and output is likewise affected by the same weight. As a result, the Nave Bayes theorem cannot be applied to real-world problems, and when this approach is utilized, only poor accuracy is obtained. As a result, Gaussian NB is utilized, which assumes that features have a normal distribution. Features have a conditional probability and are presumed to be Gaussian. Equation (36) gives the Gaussian NB as follows:(36)Py=12πσ2yexp exp−xi−μy22σ2.


## 3.1.1. Convolution Layer

A set of filters make up the convolutional layer. The learnable parameters of layer are the values of these filters. When it comes to CNNs, the goal behind convolution is to extract features from an image while keeping the spatial relationship between pixels as well as learnt features inside the image by using small, equal-sized tiles. For anMN 3 input image with K filters of size I J in the first convolutional layer, where I <<< N and 3 indicate the color channels. Every element from input image as well as filter matrix undergoes a mathematical process, which results in the learned features [4]. This is what it means:(1)xi,jl=∑a∑bwa,bl−1,fyi+a,j+bl−1+biasf,where yi,jl is output of layer l,wa,bl−1,f is weight of filter f which is used at layer l-1. To put it another way, the filter slides through all of the image’s elements and multiplies each one, resulting in a single matrix called a feature map. Size of the feature map matrix is determined by the depth and stride.Additionally, an activation function known as ReLU is commonly utilized to introduce non-linearity to CNNs, allowing them to learn nonlinear models.

As a result, Gaussian NB is utilized, which assumes that features have a normal distribution. Features have a conditional probability and are presumed to be Gaussian. Equation (36) gives the Gaussian NB as follows:(36)Py=12πσ2yexp exp−xi−μy22σ2.


## 4. Performance Analysis

This section compares the suggested strategy for ovarian cancer diagnosis to existing methods and analyses the performance analysis. The model’s performance is represented by a confusion matrix that includes true negatives, true positives, false negatives, and false positives.


### 4.1. Database Description

The suggested classifier was tested on single-cell blood smear samples obtained from the Cancer Imaging Archive database [40]. Cropped sections of epithelial cells, germ cells, and stromal cells can be found in Cancer Imaging Archive database. The Cancer Imaging Archive database’s grey level attributes are virtually identical to Cancer Imaging Archive database, but with a larger dimension.The confusion matrix of Gaussian NB employing FaRe-ConvNN is shown in Figure5 above, where rows indicate predicted class and columns represent an actual class of ovarian cancer data. Trained network that is correctly and erroneously classified is represented by the diagonal blue and white cells. The right-hand column represents each anticipated class, whereas the bottom row reflects each actual class’ performance [41]. This confusion matrix plot for Gaussian NB utilizing FaRe-ConvNN reveals that the overall classification performance is 98.69 percent correct.Figure 5
