Abstract Pneumonia is a common lung disease that is more prone to affect the elderly and those with weaker respiratory systems. However, hospital medical resources are limited, and sometimes the workload of physicians is too high, which can affect their judgment. Therefore, a good medical assistance system is of great significance for improving the quality of medical care. This study proposed an integrated system by combining transfer learning and gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM). Pneumonia is a common lung disease that is generally diagnosed using X-rays. However, in areas with limited medical resources, a shortage of medical personnel may result in… More >

Abstract Deep Learning (DL) is known for its golden standard computing paradigm in the learning community. However, it turns out to be an extensively utilized computing approach in the ML field. Therefore, attaining superior outcomes over cognitive tasks based on human performance. The primary benefit of DL is its competency in learning massive data. The DL-based technologies have grown faster and are widely adopted to handle the conventional approaches resourcefully. Specifically, various DL approaches outperform the conventional ML approaches in real-time applications. Indeed, various research works are reviewed to understand the significance of the individual DL models and some computational complexity… More >

Abstract Pneumonia is an acute lung infection that has caused many fatalities globally. Radiologists often employ chest X-rays to identify pneumonia since they are presently the most effective imaging method for this purpose. Computer-aided diagnosis of pneumonia using deep learning techniques is widely used due to its effectiveness and performance. In the proposed method, the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) approach is used to eliminate the class imbalance in the X-ray dataset. To compensate for the paucity of accessible data, pre-trained transfer learning is used, and an ensemble Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model is developed. The ensemble model consists of all… More >
