Here are the details from the two papers regarding their preprocessing steps, model
properties, and hyperparameters.
Paper 1
● Paper Name: Classification of Brain Tumors on MRI Images Using Convolutional Neural
Network Model EfficientNet.
● Paper Link: [Link]
● Preprocessing Steps:
○ Data Augmentation: Added to the dataset to manipulate data and improve results.
○ Normalization: Implemented min-max normalization.
○ Input Resizing: Images were resized to a constant value of 128 x 128 pixels.
● Model Name and Properties:
○ Models used: EfficientNetB0 and EfficientNetB7.
○ Architecture Layers: Input layer, GlobalAverage Pooling2D layer, Dropout layers,
and Dense layers.
● Hyperparameters:
○ Epochs: 100.
○ Learning Rate: 0.00146.
○ Optimizer: Adam (Scenario 1) and RMSprop (Scenario 2).
○ Dropout Value: 0.2.
○ Dense Layer Units: 1024 and 128.
○ Activation Functions: Relu (for hidden dense layers) and Softmax (for the output
layer).
○ Loss Function: Categorical Crossentropy.
Paper 2
● Paper Name: An Integrated Deep Learning Model with EfficientNet and ResNet for
Accurate Multi-Class Skin Disease Classification.
● Paper Link: [Link]
● Preprocessing Steps:
○ Dataset Split: Data was distributed into Training (80%), Validation (10%), and
Testing (10%).
○ Normalization: Features were normalized using Batch Normalization to stabilize
training.
○ Zero Padding: Applied at the initial architecture stage of ResNet50 for spatial
dimension protection.
○ Resizing: Standardized to fit the requirements of the pre-trained models (typically
224x224 for ResNet/EfficientNet, though specific target values for this paper are
managed by the "compound scaling" of EfficientNet).
● Model Name and Properties:
○ Model: A fusion-based deep learning model (ensemble).
○ Merged Architectures: EfficientNet-B0, EfficientNet-B2, and ResNet50.
○ Fusion Mechanism: Features from the three branches are concatenated and
transmitted to dense and dropout layers.
● Hyperparameters:
○ Regularization: Uses Dropout and Batch Normalization to reduce overfitting.
○ Activation Functions: SWISH (used in EfficientNet blocks) and ReLU (used in
ResNet stages).
○ Pooling: Average Pooling and Max Pooling are utilized to decrease dimensions.
○ Classification Layer: Final layer uses a fully connected layer for multi-class
predictions.
