• Abstract summary: Cervical cancer is one of the most severe diseases threatening women's health. We propose a Voting-Stacking ensemble strategy, which employs three Inception networks as base learners and integrates their outputs through a voting ensemble. The experimental results outperform the current state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods, demonstrating its potential for reducing screening workload and helping pathologists detect cervical cancer.

• Abstract: Cervical cancer is one of the most severe diseases threatening women's health. Early detection and diagnosis can significantly reduce cancer risk, in which cervical cytology classification is indispensable. Researchers have recently designed many networks for automated cervical cancer diagnosis, but the limited accuracy and bulky size of these individual models cannot meet practical application needs. To address this issue, we propose a Voting-Stacking ensemble strategy, which employs three Inception networks as base learners and integrates their outputs through a voting ensemble. The samples misclassified by the ensemble model generate a new training set on which a linear classification model is trained as the meta-learner and performs the final predictions. In addition, a multi-level Stacking ensemble framework is designed to improve performance further. The method is evaluated on the SIPakMed, Herlev, and Mendeley datasets, achieving accuracies of 100%, 100%, and 100%, respectively. The experimental results outperform the current state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods, demonstrating its potential for reducing screening workload and helping pathologists detect cervical cancer.
