Comparison of Ensemble Learning Methods for Classification in Cancer Registries.

Significant developments are currently underway in the field of cancer research, particularly in Germany, regarding cancer registration and the use of medical information systems. The use of such systems contributes significantly to quality assurance and increased efficiency in data evaluation. The growing importance of artificial intelligence (AI) in cancer research is evident as these systems integrate AI for various purposes, i.e. to assist users in data analysis. This paper uses ensemble learning to classify the graphical user interface state of the medical information system CARESS. The results show that all ensemble learning models utilized achieved good performance. In particular, the gradient boosting algorithm performed the best with an accuracy of 97%. The results represent a starting point for further development of ensemble learning in medical data analysis, with the potential for integration into various applications such as recommender systems.
