Simple CNN model to detect pneumonia from chest x-ray images
Project description: The aim of this project is to develop a deep learning method to detect and classify human disease from medical images, which detects pneumonia symptoms from x ray images derived from patient data.
- Dataset distribution and structure reformation to adjust for skewed training validation and testing split
- Include weights for class to counteract skewed normal vs pneumonia samples in dataset
- Develop CNN model with Kera api
- Fine tuning with Kera callback
