This document discusses using convolutional neural networks to diagnose pneumonia from chest x-ray images. Specifically, it summarizes several research papers that used CNN models like InceptionV3 to extract features from x-ray images and then trained classification algorithms like support vector machines, neural networks, and K-nearest neighbors to classify images as pneumonia or normal. The neural network model achieved 84.1% sensitivity while support vector machines obtained the highest AUC of 93.1%. In general, CNNs can accurately diagnose pneumonia from x-rays but training the models requires a large dataset and computing resources.
