Scaling multi-instance support vector machine to breast cancer detection on the BreaKHis dataset.

Motivation: Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops in breast tissues, and, after skin cancer, it is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women in the United States. Given that an early diagnosis is imperative to prevent breast cancer progression, many machine learning models have been developed in recent years to automate the histopathological classification of the different types of carcinomas. However, many of them are not scalable to large-scale datasets.
