Breast cancer is a disease that forms in the cells of the breasts and can grow out of control. This cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women after skin cancer. Breast cancer is more common in women but can occur in both men and women. It is necessary to detect breast cancer at the initial stages to improve the prognosis and chance of survival significantly. Machine learning is more frequently used for breast cancer pattern detection.
Arnab Das in his blog proposed a solution to Breast Cancer Detection using Intel® Distribution of Modin*, Intel® Developer Cloud and Intel® Extension for Scikit-learn*.
The blog explains the various steps involved in the project:
- Installation of required libraries.
- Data Collection & Preparation
- Model Training
- Model Testing

Intel Extension for Scikit-learn: This Intel Extension seamlessly speeds up your scikit-learn applications for Intel architectures across single and multi-node configurations. Also, this extension package dynamically patches scikit-learn estimators while improving performance for your machine learning algorithms. By using Scikit-learn with this extension, the performance for training and inference can be improved up to 100x with the equivalent mathematical accuracy.
Intel Distribution of Modin: Modin is a drop-in replacement for the extensively used Python library, Pandas. Intel Distribution of Modin is a performant, parallel, and distributed dataframe system that accelerates Pandas while using a fully compatible API. This adds optimizations to further accelerate processing on Intel® hardware.
Download Intel Extension for Scikit-learn and Intel Distribution of Modin as part of the Intel® AI Analytics Toolkit (AI Kit).
