Introduction

With the completion of my AIML course, I wanted to put my newfound knowledge to use and work on some side-projects which will both help me get some practical exposure in the field and either solve an interesting real-life problem or have some sort of practical usefulness to it. On this quest to find a project that fits my need I had finally decided that I will build a convolutional neural network that detects pneumonia by looking at chest X-ray images.

What is Pneumonia?
