Pneumonia Detection Using Machine Learning

Abstract

An enormous amount of morbidity and mortality cases are caused by pneumonia, which is still a major global health concern. Pneumonia must be accurately and quickly detected in order to manage patients effectively and achieve better results. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have become effective instruments in recent years for automating the detection and diagnosis of pneumonia from medical imaging data. The goal of this review paper is to give a thorough overview of recent developments in ML-based pneumonia detection. It includes the various ML algorithms used, the training and testing datasets, and the evaluation metrics used to rate the effectiveness of these models. Additionally, this review highlights the difficulties encountered in the field and suggests possible directions for improvement in order to create a more reliable and robust pneumonia detection system. Healthcare professionals place a high value on pneumonia detection, and machine learning (ML)-based automation of There's been a lot of attention paid to this process. The importance of pneumonia detection and the part that ML techniques play in automating this process are highlighted in the introduction to this review paper. In the following section, it examines different machine learning (ML) The various system used for the discernment of pneumonia. Such include supervised understanding algorithms like logistic statistics, vector machine and randomization. forests, and convolutional neural networks. The review also discusses pneumonia detection using unsupervised learning techniques like clustering, dimensionality reduction, and autoencoders. In order to develop them, an assessment of pneumonia detection models is essential. The study has examined several appraisal metrics which are commonly used for that purpose, such as sensitivity, specificity, precision and the operational status of receivers. characteristic (ROC) curve, recall, precision, and F1-score. The selection of suitable metrics, which considers specific requirements for pneumonia detection, is main factor to be taken into consideration. The main obstacles is that there are no annotation data. to creating reliable pneumonia detection models. Accurate ML algorithms must be trained on high-quality labelled datasets. However, since chest X-ray images must be annotated by qualified radiologists, obtaining a sizable annotated dataset for pneumonia is frequently challenging. The creation of efficient ML models for pneumonia detection is hampered by the limited availability of annotated data.
