Performance Analysis of Deep Learning Models for Binary Classification of Cancer Gene Expression Data

The classification of patients as cancer and normal patients by applying the computational methods on their gene expression profiles is an extremely important task. Recently, deep learning models, mainly multilayer perceptron and convolutional neural networks, have gained popularity for being applied on this type of datasets. This paper aims to analyze the performance of deep learning models on different types of cancer gene expression datasets as no such consolidated work is available. For this purpose, three deep learning models along with two feature selection method and four cancer gene expression datasets have been considered. It has resulted in a total of 24 different combinations to be analyzed. Out of four datasets, two are imbalanced and two are balanced in terms of number of normal and cancer samples. Experimental results show that the deep learning models have performed well in terms of true positive rate, precision, F1-score, and accuracy.
