Abstract Pneumonia continues to pose a major challenge to global health, particularly affecting infants, young children, and other vulnerable populations, where prompt diagnosis is crucial for lowering mortality rates. Although chest X-ray imaging is among the most commonly used diagnostic methods, interpreting these scans can be complex and prone to mistakes due to variability in patterns and similarities with other respiratory
conditions. To overcome these obstacles, this work proposes an intelligent diagnostic framework based on deep learning techniques for automatic pneumonia detection.The approach employs convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with transfer learning by adapting pre-trained models to chest X-ray datasets,combined with an ensemble mechanism to further boost classification performance.Evaluation on publicly available datasets reveals that the proposed system achieves better results than conventional approaches, demonstrating clear gains in accuracy, sensitivity, and F1-score. These outcomes highlight the effectiveness of CNN based frameworks in delivering rapid, dependable, and consistent diagnostic assistance for pneumonia, thereby supporting healthcare professionals and contributing to improved patient outcomes.
