Brain Tumor Classification Using Keras (Coursera)

Brain Tumor Classification Using Keras (Coursera)

In this 2-hour-long guided project, we will use an efficient net model and train it on a Brain MRI dataset. This dataset has more than 3000 Brain MRI scans which are categorized in four classes - Glioma Tumor, Meningioma Tumor, Pituitary Tumor and No Tumor. Our objective in this project is to create an image classification model that can predict Brain MRI scans that belong to one of the four classes with a reasonably high accuracy. Please note that this dataset, and the model that we train in the project, is for educational purposes only.

Project Prerequisite: Before you attempt this project, you should be familiar with programming in Python. You should also have a theoretical understanding of Convolutional Neural Networks, and optimization techniques. This is a hands on, practical project that focuses primarily on implementation, and not on the theory behind Convolutional Neural Networks.
We will be carrying out the entire project on the Google Colab environment so you will need a free Gmail account to complete this project.
This Guided Project was created by a Coursera community member.

In this Guided Project, you will:

  • Learn to use Efficient Net to classify Brain MRI Scans in one of the four classes of Brain Tumor in Keras.

Comparing Genes, Proteins, and Genomes (Bioinformatics III) (Coursera)

Once we have sequenced genomes in the previous course, we would like to compare them to determine how species have evolved and what makes them different. In the first half of the course, we will compare two short biological sequences, such as genes (i.e., short sequences of DNA) or proteins. We will encounter a powerful algorithmic tool called dynamic programming that will help us determine the number of mutations that have separated the two genes/proteins.
