Abstract

Pneumonia is a bacterial infection caused people of all ages with mild to severe inflammation of the lung tissue [1]. The best known and most common clinical method for the diagnosis of pneumonia is chest X-ray imaging. But the diagnosis of pneumonia from chest X-ray images is a difficult task, even for specialist radiologists. In developing countries, this lung disease becomes one of the deadliest among children under the age of 5 and causing 15% of deaths recorded annually [2]. Therefore, in this study, firstly the presence of the disease was tried to be determined using chest X-ray dataset. In addition, using the bacterial and viral pneumonia classes which are two different types of pneumonia, multi class classification which consists of viral pneumonia, bacterial pneumonia and healthy has been done. Since the used dataset does not have a balanced distribution among all classes, SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique) method has been used to deal with imbalanced dataset. CNN model and models in Ensemble Learning have been created from scratch instead of using pre-trained networks. For each classification problem, two different deep learning methods which are CNN and ensemble learning have been used and 95% average accuracy has been obtained for each model, for binary classification and 78% and 75% average accuracy has been obtained for each model respectively for multi class classification problem.
