Abstract

In this thesis different state-of-the-art machine learning frameworks were implemented and evaluated on chest radiographs to classify them into tuberculotic or healthy radiographs. Traditional explicit feature engineering was performed, as well as different deep learning approaches were applied. For the deep learning experiments different publicly available architectures were compared in two different tasks. The first task with deep learning was to use a Convolutional Neural Network, already trained on a different task, to extract features of the chest radiographs. These features were then classified separately. The second experiment was to use a Convolutional Neural Network, again pretrained on a different task, and train this network carefully again on the chest radiographs. The results of the different frameworks were summarized, evaluated and presented in tables.
