Abstract: Pneumonia Detection through X-Ray Using Deep Learning is a web application which is used to detect the presence of Pneumonia from a collection of chest X-ray samples. Remarkable classification performance is achieved using methods that rely solely on transfer learning approaches or traditional handcrafted techniques. We constructed a convolutional neural network (CNN) model that extract features from a given chest X-ray image then it classifies it to determine if a person is infected with pneumonia. Reliability and interpretability challenges can be mitigated by this model that are often faced when dealing with medical imagery.
