Abstract

Research in the field of dermatology shows that differential diagnosis of erythemato-squamous diseases is one of the challenges seeking attention and to contribute to this problem, we designed four novel machine learning models exploring; Random Forest (RF), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Fuzzy Neural Network (FNN) techniques to accurately recommend the best model to dermatologists when diagnosing patients with erythemato-squamous diseases. At the design stage, we considered a dataset characterizing the six classes of the disease. To reduce the training time, the input data was normalized and scaled in interval; 0–1. Furthermore, we implored 10-fold cross-validation where the original sample was randomly segmented into 10 equal sized subsamples. These 10 outcomes from the folds are then averagely computed and produce a single prediction. Total performance of each of the models as depicted in table one shows that FNN outperformed the other 3 models hence, recommended for the differential diagnoses of these six classes of the disease.
