Classification between Normal and Pneumoniac X-rays

The main goal is to classify an X-Ray to tell whether it's normal or pneumoniac. Currently the error percentage is as high as 34%. That is because I had to compress the original dataset (available at Kaggle https://www.kaggle.com/paultimothymooney/chest-xray-pneumonia/downloads/chest-xray-pneumonia.zip/2#chest_xray.zip) since it was the only way to train the model on my machine in a feasible time.

Dataset

The original dataset has images upto 2000 by 2000 in size so I resized the images to 60 by 60 and trained the model using them. Now resizing them to this size means there will be a huge loss of information. which is the main reason for this model to perform poorly.

Note

Currently the model uses only one CNN layer. I'll try to improve the model as I learn more about using multiple CNN layers. Plus I'll try not to compromise the dataset to this extent lol :D

This was only an attempt to see if I have actually learnt something from my past projects.
