Predict Lung and Colon Cancer
Apr 2024
Tech Stack: Discovery (NEU HPC), ResNet50, Neural Network Modeling
- Trained, executed ResNet50 on 5000 image dataset having 5 cancer types, producing results in 36 seconds with 90% accuracy.
- Methods used to increase the performance of the models: Serial Execution, DDP (Distributed Data Parallel) on CPU, DDP on GPU, Model Parallelism, AMP (Automatic Mixed Precision)
- And, as per the result part we could train our model in 30 seconds using the parallel processing techniques and still maintain the accuracy to 93% overall.
- The procedures used were 24 times efficient when compared to Serial Executions on CPU. Speedup received was more than 50%. Overall, if all the model executes in 30 seconds with the use of modern compute resources, then we have achieved our goal of making the product available to consumers and businesses.
