Abstract: Thyroid diseases are rising at an alarming rate worldwide across several age groups. Current practice for thyroid disease diagnosis is doctor’s examination and a number of blood tests which requires lots of experience and knowledge. Because of the difficulty in considering large number of interrelated measurements and non-specific nature of symptoms of a disease, experts often have imprecise knowledge which causes uncertainty in diagnosis procedure. Thyroid disease detection via proper interpretation of the thyroid data is an important classification problem. The main objective of this project is to design an intelligent system that can diagnose the thyroid diseases with minimum diagnosis time and enhanced diagnosis accuracy.
