The accurate classification of histopathology images
is important in medical diagnosis processes. In recent years,
Neural Architecture Search (NAS) methods have been developed
to optimize the model selection process, one of the important
problems in this field, by enabling the automatic design of deep
learning models. This study proposes a new neural architecture
search method for histopathology image classification using the
Opposition-Based Differential Evolution (ODE) algorithm. The
proposed method is based on the PBC-NAS architecture and
includes a search strategy developed to solve plateau problems.
The performance of the proposed method is evaluated on the Enteroscope Biopsy Histopathological H&E (EBHI) image dataset.
In the experimental studies, the proposed method is compared
with deep learning models such as ResNet, MobileNet, and
DenseNet, which are widely used in the literature in terms of
accuracy and processing time. The proposed method achieves
highly competitive results (0.5 points difference) with up to 5
times less computation time, which is crucial for medical image
analysis.
