9. Algorithm
 Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs): CNNs are a class of deep neural networks commonly used for
image classification and segmentation tasks. In this project, a CNN architecture is employed for brain
tumor segmentation in MRI images.
 Loss Functions: Binary Cross-Entropy loss is used as the loss function for training the CNN model. This loss
function is commonly used in binary classification tasks.
 Data Augmentation: Data augmentation techniques such as random flipping, rotation, and zooming are
applied to the training dataset. Data augmentation helps increase the diversity of training samples and
improve the robustness of the model.
 Class Weighting: Class weights are computed to handle class imbalance in the dataset. Class weights are
used during training to give more importance to underrepresented classes.
 Vision Transformers (ViT): ViT is a transformer-based architecture originally proposed for natural language
processing tasks but adapted for image classification. In this project, ViT is explored as an alternative
architecture for brain tumor segmentation.
 Optimization Algorithm: The Adam optimizer is used to optimize the CNN model during training. Adam is
an adaptive learning rate optimization algorithm that is widely used in training deep neural networks.
