description This study investigates the application of the Xception architecture for accurate classification of skin lesions, focusing on the early detection of melanoma and other malignant skin conditions. Utilizing deep learning techniques, the research aims to enhance the precision and efficiency of skin lesions diagnosis. The study utilizes the TensorFlow framework and the HAM10000 dataset, comprising a vast collection of benign and malignant skin lesion images, for training and evaluating the Xception model. Preprocessing steps, including data splitting, augmentation, and image resizing, are applied to the dataset. The Xception architecture, a deep convolutional neural network, serves as the foundational model, supplemented with customized classification layers for specialized features and predictions. The model's performance is evaluated using diverse metrics. The experimental outcomes reveal the Xception architecture's potential in accurately classifying skin lesions. Moreover, the study underscores the significance of extensive and diverse datasets, as well as rigorous clinical validation, in the development of deep learning models for skin cancer detection. The findings contribute to the advancement of early melanoma detection, thereby improving patient outcomes and alleviating the burden of the disease.
