Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll take pretrained VGG16 and ResNet models from the Python Keras library and train them further upon your medical image dataset of X-ray and CT scans. This transfer learning is a highly effective technique for quickly generating reliable machine learning models when you only have a small data set. You’ll experiment with the Keras loss functions to determine which are best for COVID image classification, and check your training and prediction times as a critical parameter of real-world applications.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

project author

Anuradha Kar
Anuradha Kar is a researcher at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, working on deep learning applications in drug discovery. Before this, she worked at the Paris Brain Institute on applying attention-based deep learning models to understanding the evolution of Alzheimer's disease and at École normale supérieure de Lyon in France on deep learning-based analysis of 3D bio-image datasets. She has a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the National University of Ireland, Galway. In 2021, she published a liveProject series with Manning Publications titled Transfer Learning for Dicom Image Classification.
