Skin lesions are an increasingly significant medical concern, varying widely in severity from benign to cancerous. Accurate diagnosis is essential for ensuring timely and appropriate treatment. This study examines the implementation of deep learning methods to assist in the diagnosis of skin lesions using the HAM10000 dataset, which contains seven distinct types of lesions. First, we evaluated three pre-trained models: MobileNetV2, ResNet18, and VGG11, achieving accuracies of 0.798, 0.802, and 0.805, respectively. To further enhance classification accuracy, we developed ensemble models employing max voting, average voting, and stacking, resulting in accuracies of 0.803, 0.82, and 0.83. Building on the best-performing ensemble learning model, stacking, we developed our proposed model, SkinNet, which incorporates a customized architecture and fine-tuning, achieving an accuracy of 0.867 and an AUC of 0.96. This substantial improvement over individual models demonstrates the effectiveness of ensemble learning in improving skin lesion classification.

This paper introduces an innovative multi-modal fusion deep learning approach to overcome the drawbacks of traditional single-modal recognition techniques. These drawbacks include incomplete information and limited diagnostic accuracy. During the feature extraction stage, cutting-edge deep learning models including convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), and transformers are applied to distill advanced features from image-based, temporal, and structured data sources. The fusion strategy component seeks to determine the optimal fusion mode tailored to the specific disease recognition task. In the experimental section, a comparison is made between the performance of the proposed multi-mode fusion model and existing single-mode recognition methods. The findings demonstrate significant advantages of the multimodal fusion model across multiple evaluation metrics.
