Abstract

Chest radiography is the most common imaging examination for screening and diagnosis of chest disease. Predicting the presence of chest radiographic observations is important in the screening of chest disease. It has challenging to train deep neural networks on ChestXray^? images due to the class imbalance problem. In this guided research project, we explore an effective training method to deal with the class imbalance in multi-label classification for training deep neural networks in chest X-ray images.

Requirements:
