Title
Prediction of Lung cancer and mortality using machine learning and deep learning

Summary
Using radiological, histological images and clinical information from the NLST, we are aiming to develop predictive models using machine learning and deep learning techniques to automatically detect lung lesions and predict mortality.

Aims

1. Determine an effective approach for data processing for most accurate predictive model.
2. Develop an effective deep learning and machine learning model to identify lung lessons
3. Build a machine leaning model to predict mortality with high accuracy
