I carried out few experiments by combining 7 CNN based feature extractors and 7 machine learning classifier. In total there were 49 pairs.

For CNNs i used VGG16, Mobile net v2, Densenet121, Inception V3, ResNet 101, ResNet 152 and XceptionNet as feature extractors and passed the generated feature vector to ML classifiers to perform binary classification.

The ML classifiers i have used are support vector machine, k nearest neighbour, gaussian naive Bayes, decision tree, random forest, extra tress and Multi layer perceptron.

For all the evaluation metrics like accuracy, precision, recall and F1 score i achieved best results with the combination of ResNet 101 and Multi layer perceptron.

I'm not able to understand that why it is performing the best. Resnet152 has a deeper network and support vector machine generally perform well. In my case Resnet101 and multi layer perceptron is giving the best results.

Please help me to understand the reason behind it.
