These results indicate a high performance of the model in distinguishing between normal and pneumonia-affected X-ray images.
Model Architecture
Base Model: Utilized a pre-trained InceptionV3 model on ImageNet, which was fine-tuned on the X-ray dataset to improve its sensitivity and specificity for pneumonia classification.
Layers Added: Custom dense layers added to adapt the model to the binary classification task.
Optimizer: Adam optimizer with a learning rate scheduler to ensure efficient training.
Loss Function: Binary cross-entropy to handle the two-class problem.
Dataset
Source: The dataset used in this project is from the Chest X-Ray Images (Pneumonia), which is a publicly available dataset consisting of 5,863 X-ray images.
Classes: The dataset contains two classes: “NORMAL” and “PNEUMONIA”.
Preprocessing: Images were resized to 180x180 pixels, and data augmentation was applied to improve model generalization.
