Popis: Cervical cancer is a major health concern worldwide, highlighting the urgent need for better early detection methods to improve outcomes for patients. In this study, we present a novel digital pathology classification approach that combines Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) with the Vision Transformer (ViT) model. This method is aimed at making cervix type classification more efficient through a deep learning classifier that does not require as much data. The key innovation is the use of LoRA, which allows for the effective training of the model with smaller datasets, making the most of the ability of ViT to represent visual information. This approach performs better than traditional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models, including Residual Networks (ResNets), especially when it comes to performance and the ability to generalize in situations where data are limited. Through thorough experiments and analysis on various dataset sizes, we found that our more streamlined classifier is highly accurate in spotting various cervical anomalies across several cases. This work advances the development of sophisticated computer-aided diagnostic systems, facilitating more rapid and accurate detection of cervical cancer, thereby significantly enhancing patient care outcomes.
