Performance Evaluation of VGG_19 Model for Brain Tumor Datasets

This paper presents a comprehensive assessment of the VGG19 model for detecting brain tumors using deep learning methods, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The study evaluates key performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and area under the curve (AUC). The investigation delves into the influence of different activation functions, learning rates, and epochs on the VGG19 model's performance. Activation functions are crucial for feature extraction and model convergence, with a comparison made between ReLU and Leaky ReLU to determine their effectiveness in enhancing brain tumor detection accuracy. Additionally, the study examines the impact of various learning rates (0.01, 0.001, 0.0001) on the model's convergence speed and overall performance. Different numbers of training epochs (15, 25, 50) are also considered to strike a balance between computational efficiency and model effectiveness. Evaluation metrics encompass accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and AUC, providing a comprehensive assessment of the model's performance across different configurations. The goal is to identify optimal combinations of activation functions, learning rates, and epochs to maximize the VGG19 model's accuracy in detecting brain tumors. This research contributes to advancing efficient and accurate methodologies for brain tumor detection, facilitating early diagnosis and treatment planning. The insights gained from this study can guide the development of more effective deep learning-based systems for medical image analysis, benefiting both patients and healthcare professionals.
