This study evaluates ten machine learning algorithms for classifying breast cancer cases as malignant or benign based on physical attributes. Algorithms tested include XGBoost, CNN, RNN, AdaBoost, Adaptive Decision Learner, fLSTM, GRU, Random Forest, SVM, and Logistic Regression. Using a robust dataset from UCI machine learning Breast Cancer, SVM emerged as the most accurate, achieving 98.2456% accuracy. While AdaBoost, Logistic Regression, Neural Networks, and Random Forest showed promise, none matched SVMs accuracy. These findings underscore the potential of machine learning, particularly SVMs, in cancer diagnosis and treatment by analyzing physical attributes for improved diagnostics and targeted therapies.

"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.
