Özet
Objective: Fetal health classification is of great clinical importance as it allows the early detection and management of fetal health problems during pregnancy.This study aims to enhance fetal health classification by integrating Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM), synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE), and Optuna-based hyperparameter tuning. The goal is to improve classification accuracy, address class imbalance, and optimize model performance in predicting normal, suspicious, and pathological fetal health conditions. Material and Methods: The study utilized the University of California, Irvine Cardiotocography Data Set which contains 2.126 fetal cardiotocography (CTG) records classified into 3 categories. To handle class imbalance, SMOTE is applied. Various machine learning models [Stochastic Gradient Descent Classifier, Gradient Boosting, Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine, K-Nearest Neighbors, and Logistic Regression (LG)] were compared, with LightGBM selected due to its efficiency in structured medical data processing. Optuna is used for hyperparameter tuning. The dataset was split into 80% training and 20% testing, and model performance was assessed using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Results: The optimized LightGBM+SMOTE+Optuna model achieved 99% accuracy, significantly outperforming the other classifiers. The recall and F1-score for the suspicious and pathological classes improved, reducing the misclassification rates. The confusion matrix confirmed a substantial decrease in errors, demonstrating the model's robustness and reliability. Conclusion: The proposed model successfully enhances fetal health classification accuracy by addressing class imbalance and optimizing hyperparameters. The integration of LightGBM, SMOTE, and Optuna improves model generalization, making it a valuable tool for fetal health assessment. Future studies could explore deep learning approaches to further refine classification performance and support clinical decision-making.
