Project Abstract

Abstract
Skin cancer is a common and potentially life-threatening disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Early detection and accurate diagnosis are crucial for effective treatment and improved patient outcomes. Machine learning algorithms have shown promise in assisting dermatologists in the diagnosis of skin cancer by analyzing images of skin lesions. This research project aims to analyze and compare different machine learning algorithms for the detection of skin cancer in dermatology.
