Abstract: In medical image analysis, accurate skin lesion categorization is still a major difficulty particularly under limited data conditions and computational complexity. For automated skin cancer detection, in this work we present a scalable hybrid model combining a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), the Harmonic Mean Optimizer (HMO), and a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier—termed HMO-CNN-SVM. Key CNN hyperparameters including learning rate, batch size, and kernel configuration are optimized using the HMO, so greatly boosting classification performance over manual or stationary settings. The model further uses SVM on CNN feature embeddings modified on HMO to improve decision boundary sharpness. Robust performance is shown by experiments carried out on the ACS skin lesion dataset validated by 5-fold cross-valuation and ISIC 2018 benchmarks with an accuracy of 95.02% and consistent generalizing over folds. Crucially, significant parallelism potential made possible by the population-based structure of HMO makes the framework fit for GPU clusters or cloud-based training pipelines. Computational benchmarks expose reasonable overhead in trade for best performance. Thus, the suggested system is a strong contender for implementation in high-performance and distributed computing contexts since it provides both diagnostic dependability and computational tractability.
