A Statistically Validated and Explainable Deep Learning Framework for Oral Cancer Classification
Despite numerous deep learning models reporting high accuracy for oral cancer classification, most rely on a single train/test split on a single dataset, with limited statistical validation, external generalization testing, or explainability. This study addresses that gap through a statistically validated, externally tested, and dual-explainable classification framework. We provide a rigorous benchmarking study contrasting 20 hybrid combinations (4 pre-trained backbones × 5 classical classifiers) against fine-tu…
A hybrid pipeline pairing a pre-trained ResNet50 backbone with an SVM-RBF classifier outperformed end-to-end CNNs on oral cancer classification and kept strong accuracy on an independent external dataset.
The authors frame the pipeline only as a foundation toward automated oral cancer screening support, and accuracy was lower on the external dataset than in cross-validation.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1638 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
