Capstone Project: Leveraging Deep Learning for Pneumonia Detection in Lung Imaging

  • This project mainly focuses on developing an AI-powered predictive model for pneumonia diagnosis using deep learning techniques. By leveraging CNN architectures like VGG16 and VGG19, the model analyzes chest X-ray images to detect pneumonia with high accuracy.
  • Where me&my team member together worked on this project by managing a dataset of 2,659 labeled chest X-ray images, performed data cleaning, augmentation, and preprocessing for better model performance.
  • We trained the model and achieved 94% accuracy, and analyzed validation loss to address overfitting issues.
  • Worked on hyperparameter tuning, dropout techniques, and regularization to enhance model generalization.
  • The main motive of the project is making pneumonia detection more accessible by leveraging deep learning for quick and accurate diagnostics.

Research Project 1: AI Mimicking Project

  • Led an AI project focusing on language translation, sentiment analysis, mathematics, economics, and interactive conversations.
  • Developed seamless Spanish-to-English translation to break down language barriers and enhance cross-cultural communication.

Research Project 2: Dynamic Sales Dashboard using Power BI

  • Developed and managed a sales dashboard providing information for informed decisions based on data.
  • Improved pricing techniques resulted in a 15% increase in sales, while efficient inventory management cut surplus inventory by 20%.atement

Research Project 3: Dr.ML

  • Ignited personal growth by developing an advanced Al web application leveraging advanced deep learning models.
  • Engineered a predictive analytics system within the application, achieving high accuracy in forecasting health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and skin cancer.
