Abstract

The Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification algorithm, recently developed from the machine learning community, was used to diagnose breast cancer. At the same time, the SVM was compared to several machine learning techniques currently used in this field. The classification task involves predicting the state of diseases, using data obtained from the UCI machine learning repository. SVM outperformed k-means cluster and two artificial neural networks on the whole. It can be concluded that nine samples could be mislabeled from the comparison of several machine learning techniques.
