Brain tumor is a very dangerous disease, which often causes human death. When the consulting doctor is inexperienced, it is easy to misdiagnose and cause serious consequences. Therefore, accurate and timely identification of brain tumors from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images is crucial due to the life-threatening nature of this disease and the potential consequences of misdiagnosis. To address this challenge, this research employs a neural network model for brain tumor identification, incorporating model fusion techniques to enhance accuracy. Specifically, the study compares the performance of two models, namely MobileNet and SE+MobileNet Block, in recognizing MRI images. The SE+MobileNet Block model integrates a section of SENet into MobileNet, introducing a 3 x 3 convolutional layer, two Fully Connected (FC) layers, and the last two activation functions (Rule and Sigmoid), effectively incorporating an attention mechanism. Comparative analysis using accuracy and loss values demonstrates that the inclusion of the attention mechanism in the MobileNet model (i.e., the SE+MobileNet Block model) improves the recognition accuracy of brain tumor MRI.
