Feature extraction plays a critical role in text classification, as it converts textual data into numerical representations suitable for machine learning models. A key challenge lies in effectively capturing both semantic and contextual information from text at various levels of granularity while avoiding overfitting. Prior methods have often demonstrated suboptimal performance, largely due to the limitations of the feature extraction techniques employed.

Recent research indicates that early detection of breast cancer (BC) is critical in achieving favorable treatment outcomes and reducing the mortality rate associated with it. With the difficulty in obtaining a balanced dataset that is primarily sourced for the diagnosis of the disease, many researchers have relied on data augmentation techniques, thereby having varying datasets with varying quality and results. The dataset we focused on in this study is crafted from SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP)-augmentation and random augmentation (RA) approaches to dealing with imbalanced data.
