Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the world. If skin cancer is not treated early, it also affects the diseased area under the skin and this threatens the treatment of the disease. In recent years, many diseases have been rapidly detected with high accuracy with artificial intelligence methods, and the treatment process has accelerated. Convolutional neural networks, one of the artificial intelligence methods, provide very detailed information about images, and extremely successful results are obtained in classifying images. In this study, first the data set was trained with the EfficientNetB0 model, which is one of the convolutional neural networks models. Then, with the fully connected layer of this model, deep features of the images were obtained. These deep features were obtained by selecting Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm optimization, and different feature combinations were created. Each of these selected feature sets was classified by the support vector machines method, and the best performance results were tried to be obtained. As a result, the success of the proposed model has been proven by obtaining an accuracy rate of 89.17%.
