The dataset used in the project is available on Kaggle it contains 5856 labeled pediatric chest X-ray images, distributed in three classes:

1. normal
2. pneumonia
3. Val

1. Exploratory data analysis
2. Pneumonia Detection Model

This project includes implementation of deep learning and computer vision techniques for detection of pneumonia in X-ray images from the Chest X-ray Images dataset. The CNN model classifies whether or not pneumonia shows up on the chest X-ray images, therefore only two predictions are possible, normal or pneumonia.

In the data preprocessing step, samples from the dataset are resized to a shape (64,64), normalized and converted to the RGB color space. To reduce the classification bias caused by data imbalance, class weights are applied.

The classifier used is the VGG-19 model with weights pre-trained on the ImageNet dataset. This network is supported in the Keras library, along with a transfer learning workflow performed in the project. The workflow consists of two phases, the first includes optimizing the output (classification) layer only, while the second includes retraining (fine-tuning) the entire network with much smaller learning rate. The training is performed in 25 epochs in the first phase and one final fine-tuning epoch in the second.

Evaluation of the model is performed with accuracy, precision, recall and f1-score metrics on the validation set. Confusion matrices and other appropriate plots are used to further describe obtained results as well.
