1. Introduction

Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers affecting women worldwide,
with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) being the most common subtype. Early
detection of IDC plays a crucial role in effective treatment and patient survival.
This project aims to develop a machine learning model using Convolutional
Neural Networks (CNNs) to identify IDC from histopathology images. The
dataset consists of approximately 5,000 labeled 50x50 pixel RGB images of
H&E-stained breast tissue samples, with each patch labeled as IDC (1) or non-
IDC (0).

This system provides an automated approach to analyze breast tissue images

and predict the presence of IDC, thereby assisting pathologists and reducing
diagnostic time.

2. Methodology
2.1 Dataset
The dataset comprises:
  Images: 50x50 pixel RGB images of histopathology samples.

 Labels: Binary classification:

o 1: Contains IDC.

o 0: Does not contain IDC.

The images were preprocessed to ensure compatibility with the CNN

architecture by normalizing pixel values and reshaping them into the required
dimensions [batch_size, channels, height, width].

2.2 Model Architecture

A simple CNN was designed with the following layers:

1. Two convolutional layers (32 and 64 filters) with ReLU activations and
max-pooling.

2. A fully connected layer of 128 units.

3. A final output layer with 2 units (IDC or non-IDC) using softmax

activation.

2.3 Training and Evaluation

 Loss Function: CrossEntropyLoss.

 Optimizer: Adam optimizer with a learning rate of 0.001.

 Train-Test Split: 80% training, 20% testing.

  Epochs: 10.

The model was trained to minimize loss on the training set and evaluated on
unseen test data to measure its generalization ability.

# Prediction

4. Conclusion
The developed Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) successfully identified
IDC in histopathology images with a final test accuracy of 78.92%. This
