An Ad Hoc Random Initialization Deep Neural Network Architecture for Discriminating Malignant Breast Cancer Lesions in Mammographic Images

Table 1

Summary of the annotations available for each image in the CBIS-DDSM dataset. As all these annotations are derived from the image, none of these features were imputed into our classifier.
