This notebook represents the application of Deep Learning for detecting the level of knee arthritis by a provided X-ray.

The dataset used in this notebook is assumed to be pre-split into the 5 categories (Normal, Doubtful, Mild, Moderate, Severe).

Before running the notebook, you need to have the following libraries installed:

• Python 3
• Jupyter Notebook
• Tensorflow
• Keras
• matplotlib
• numpy

To set up your environment, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/akhundMurad/KneeArthritisDetection.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd KneeArthritisDetection

3. Install the required packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

To run the notebook, follow these steps:

1. Start Jupyter Notebook:

   jupyter notebook

2. Open KneeArthritisDetection.ipynb in your Jupyter environment.

3. Follow the steps in the notebook to execute each cell. Make sure to run the cells to avoid any errors.

The notebook will output various results including data visualizations, model performance metrics, and predictions. Make sure to review the results section to understand the effectiveness of the model.

As a result of the experiment, I tuned the model to increase validation accuracy from 35% to 82%.
