This blog is probably going to be in terms of coding the most technically driven that I have written so far, and it will be about a project using Deep Learning Neural Networks to classify a set of structured X-rays images from pedriatic patients to identify whether or not, they have pneumonia. The Neural Network that I chose is the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN/ConvNet), mainly because it is known to perform really well with image classification.

This project is not intended as a study of Pneumonia itself, but for detecting it from X-rays images by using Deep Learning Neural Networks. Therefore only a short explanation of what the illness is and why it is important in today’s world will follow.
