Sumario:Dysplastic nevi are skin lesions that have distinctive clinical features and are considered risk markers for the development of melanoma, the deadliest type of skin cancer. A specific deep learning technique to identify diseases is convolutional neural networks (CNNs) because of their great capacity to extract features and classify objects. Therefore, the research aims to develop a model to diagnose dysplastic nevi using a deep learning network whose classification is based on the pre-trained architecture EfficientNet-B7, which was selected for its high classification accuracy and low computational complexity. As for the results obtained, an accuracy of 78.33% was achieved in the classification model. Also, the degree of similarity between the detection by a dermatology expert and the proposed model reached an accuracy of 79.69%.
