Pneumonia Detection Using Deep Learning

The implementation of the deep learning neural network significantly increased the accuracy of the process. After tweaking the linear regression model several times, we found a final accuracy of 79.75% this is promising, definitively better than a random guess. However, the deep learning method was far more accurate, delivering an accuracy of 97.44% 

This staggering difference in accuracy, however, comes at a computational cost. With the linear regression model, the total time to "train" the image weights and check the dataset is around ten seconds. In the deep learning model, it takes more than two and a half hours to train the neural network to completion. That being said, the accuracy of the model crosses the ninety percent accuracy threshold within the first five minutes.
