The escalating incidence of skin lesions, coupled with a scarcity of dermatologists and the intricate nature of diagnostic procedures, has resulted in prolonged waiting periods. Consequently, morbidity and mortality rates stemming from untreated cancerous skin lesions have witnessed an upward trend. To address this issue, we propose a skin lesion classification model that leverages the efficient net B7 Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture, enabling early screening of skin lesions based on camera images. The model is trained on a diverse dataset encompassing eight distinct skin lesion classes: Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC), Melanoma (MEL), Dysplastic Nevi (DN), Benign Keratosis-Like lesions (BKL), Melanocytic Nevi (NV), and an Other class. Through multiple iterations of data preprocessing, as well as comprehensive error analysis, the model achieves a remarkable accuracy rate of 87%.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
