Aim: Perform AI for medical diagnosis based on MRI/X-ray data using CNNa.
Theory:
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), also known as ConvNets, are a class of deep
learning neural networks specifically designed for tasks related to computer vision, such as
image classification, object detection, image segmentation, and more. They have had a
profound impact on various fields, including image and video analysis, medical imaging,
autonomous vehicles, and many others. CNNs were inspired by the human visual system and
are highly effective at processing grid-like data, making them particularly suited for tasks
involving images and spatial data.
Activation Functions:
Activation functions like ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit) are applied to the output of
convolutional and pooling layers. ReLU introduces non-linearity into the network, allowing it
to learn complex relationships within the data.
Flattening:
Before passing data from the convolutional layers to the fully connected layers, the feature
maps are flattened into a one-dimensional vector. This transformation allows the network
to treat the data as a traditional feedforward neural network.
Backpropagation:
CNNs are trained using backpropagation and gradient descent algorithms. During training,
the network adjusts its internal parameters (weights and biases) to minimize a loss function,
which measures the difference between the predicted output and the ground truth labels.
Architectural Variations:
CNN architectures can vary widely in terms of depth, number of layers, and specific
components. Popular CNN architectures include LeNet, AlexNet, VGG, GoogLeNet
(Inception), and ResNet, among others.
Transfer Learning:
CNNs have shown that pre-trained models on large datasets can be fine-tuned for specific
tasks with smaller datasets. This approach, called transfer learning, has become common in
computer vision applications. CNNs have revolutionized the field of computer vision and are
also used in various other domains like natural language processing and reinforcement
learning. They excel at learning hierarchical representations of data, which makes them a
powerful tool for a wide range of machine learning tasks involving structured grid-like data.

Conclusion: -
The CNN architecture is especially useful for image recognition and image classification as
they can effectively extract features from images and learn to recognize patterns, making
them well-suited for tasks such as object detection, image segmentation, and classification.
They can process large amounts of data and produce highly accurate predictions.They can
learn from raw pixel data, without requiring any manual feature engineering or preprocessing.
