Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll build a ResNet deep learning model from scratch to analyze medical imagery. A ResNet is a deep neural network model which uses "Residual blocks" and "skip connections" to reduce the need for very deep networks while still achieving high accuracy. You’ll then train your model on X-ray and CT datasets, and plot validation loss, and accuracies vs. epochs. You’ll build an important familiarity with the functional blocks of a DL model, how data must be formatted, and which layers to use to solve your problems.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
