A robust stacked ensemble strategy with multi-optimizer CNN models for skin cancer classification

An ensemble machine learning model achieved 92% accuracy classifying melanoma, demonstrating advanced computational techniques on a public dataset.

A stacked CNN ensemble using 4 architectures with different optimizers and Gradient Boosting meta-classifier achieved 91.8% accuracy and 96.87% ROC-AUC on an independent test set for melanoma classification using a public benchmark dataset. This is primarily a methodological contribution without clinical deployment validation.
