Abstract

Leukemia refers to a disease that affects the white blood cells (WBC) in the bone marrow and/or blood. Blood cell disorders are often detected in advanced stages as the number of cancer cells is much higher than the number of normal blood cells. Identifying malignant cells is critical for diagnosing leukemia and determining its progression. This paper used machine learning with classifiers to detect leukemia types as a result, it can save both patients and physicians time and money. The primary objective of this paper is to determine the most effective methods for leukemia detection. The WEKA application was used to evaluate and analyze five classifiers (J48, KNN, SVM, Random Forest, and Naïve Bayes classifiers). The results were respectively as follows: 83.33%, 87.5%, 95.83%, 88.88%, and 98.61%, with the Naïve Bayes classifier achieving the highest accuracy; however, accuracy varies according to the shape and size of the sample and the algorithm used to classify the leukemia types.
