Abstract
Machine learning is a branch of computing that studies the design of algorithms with the ability to “learn.” A subfield would be deep learning, which is a series of techniques that make use of deep artificial neural networks, that is, with more than one hidden layer, to computationally imitate the structure and functioning of the human organ and related diseases. The analysis of health interest images with deep learning is not limited to clinical diagnostic use. It can also, for example, facilitate surveillance of disease-carrying objects. There are other examples of recent efforts to use deep learning as a tool for diagnostic use. Chest X-rays are one approach to identify tuberculosis; by analysing the X-ray, you can spot any abnormalities. A method for detecting the presence of tuberculosis in medical X-ray imaging is provided in this paper. Three different classification methods were used to evaluate the method: support vector machines, logistic regression, and nearest neighbors. Cross-validation and the formation of training and test sets were the two classification scenarios used. The acquired results allow us to assess the method’s practicality.
