Despite significant efforts to devise a reliable method for COVID-19 diseases prediction, nature and mutation of the virus provide a considerable obstacle to accurately diagnosing the cases covered. A model that can reliably detect COVID-19 from chest X-ray images will greatly facilitate its early detection. The ability to process multiple images concurrently and the reliance on human supplied parameters in machine learning contribute to the deep learning techniques' popularity in the academic sector. Here, we present a hybrid CNN model for recognizing COVID-19 patients in chest X-ray images, built on top of transfer learning and image segmentation. The classifier was tested on 15153 chest X-ray pictures, of which 10192 showed pneumonia, 1345 were normal, and 3616 had COVID-The recommended model had a higher accuracy rate, at 98.34 percent.

In order to limit the spread of the novel betacoronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), it is necessary to detect positive cases as soon as possible and isolate them. For this purpose, machine-learning algorithms, as a field of artificial intelligence, have been recognized as a promising tool. The aim of this study was to assess the utility of the most common machine-learning algorithms in the rapid triage of children with suspected COVID-19 using easily accessible and inexpensive laboratory parameters. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 566 children treated for respiratory diseases: 280 children with PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and 286 children with respiratory symptoms who were SARS-CoV-2 PCR-negative (control group). Six machine-learning algorithms, based on the blood laboratory data, were tested: random forest, support vector machine, linear discriminant analysis, artificial neural network, k-nearest neighbors, and decision tree. The training set was validated through stratified cross-validation, while the performance of each algorithm was confirmed by an independent test set. Random forest and support vector machine models demonstrated the highest accuracy of 85% and 82.1%, respectively. The models demonstrated better sensitivity than specificity and better negative predictive value than positive predictive value. The F1 score was higher for the random forest than for the support vector machine model, 85.2% and 82.3%, respectively. This study might have significant clinical applications, helping healthcare providers identify children with COVID-19 in the early stage, prior to PCR and/or antigen testing. Additionally, machine-learning algorithms could improve overall testing efficiency with no extra costs for the healthcare facility.

In the current worldwide health crisis produced by coronavirus disease (COVID-19), researchers and medical specialists began looking for new ways to tackle the epidemic. According to recent studies, Machine Learning (ML) has been effectively deployed in the health sector. Medical imaging sources (radiography and computed tomography) have aided in the development of artificial intelligence(AI) strategies to tackle the coronavirus outbreak. As a result, a classical machine learning approach for coronavirus detection from Computerized Tomography (CT) images was developed. In this study, the convolutional neural network (CNN) model for feature extraction and support vector machine (SVM) for the classification of axial lung CT-scans into two groups (COVID-19 and NonCOVID-19) had been proposed. A dataset used is 960 slices of CT scan collected from Iraqi patients /Ibn Al-Nafis teaching hospital. The performance metrics are used in this study (accuracy, recall, precision, and F1 scores). The results indicate that the proposed approach generated a high-quality model for the collected dataset, with an overall accuracy of 98.95% and an overall recall of 97 %.

This article offers a framework of a hybrid convolution neural network (CNN) – support vector machine (SVM) model for the classification of human metaphase chromosome images. In this model, the features extracted by CNN were fed to the SVM classifier to label the chromosomes into 24 classes. Classification accuracy is generally affected by low‐resolution chromosome images. Hence, in the proposed work, a Laplacian pyramidal super‐resolution network (LaPSRN) was deployed to improve input chromosome images resolution before feeding them to the classifier network. The experimentation showed that due to LaPSRN, resolution‐enhanced images are obtained, which has improved the classification accuracy by 3% compared to the architecture without a super‐resolution block. In addition, instead of using the usual ReLU function in CNN architecture, a Swish activation function was utilized, which enhanced the validation accuracy by 0.8%. After experimenting with various hyper‐parameters for the CNN SVM architecture, the ADAM optimizer with step decay outperformed the other standard optimizers. The novel part of this work is the combination of Laplacian pyramidal super‐resolution with the hybrid CNN‐SVM model, which has not been employed yet for chromosome classification tasks as per our knowledge. The proposed hybrid CNN SVM architecture with the Swish activation function and super‐resolution techniques was tested on the metaphase chromosome images from the BioImLab dataset, and an improved classification accuracy of 94.6% was obtained. Moreover, the standard metrics for classification like F1 score, precision, support, and the confusion matrix values of the proposed CNN model with SVM classifier are superior to the prevailing CNN architectures for chromosome images.

It is critical to establish a reliable method for detecting people infected with COVID-19 since the pandemic has numerous harmful consequences worldwide. If the patient is infected with COVID-19, a chest X-ray can be used to determine this. In this work, an X-ray showing a COVID-19 infection is classified by the capsule neural network model we trained to recognise. 6310 chest X-ray pictures were used to train the models, separated into three categories: normal, pneumonia, and COVID-19. This work is considered an improved deep learning model for the classification of COVID-19 disease through X-ray images. Viewpoint invariance, fewer parameters, and better generalisation are some of the advantages of CapsNet compared with the classic convolutional neural network (CNN) models. The proposed model has achieved an accuracy greater than 95% during the model’s training, which is better than the other state-of-the-art algorithms. Furthermore, to aid in detecting COVID-19 in a chest X-ray, the model could provide extra information.

A SARS-CoV-2 virus-specific reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test is usually used to diagnose COVID-19. However, this test requires up to 2 days for completion. Moreover, to avoid false-negative outcomes, serial testing may be essential. The availability of RT-PCR test kits is currently limited, highlighting the need for alternative approaches for the precise and rapid diagnosis of COVID-19. Patients suspected to be infected with SARS-CoV-2 can be assessed using chest CT scan images. However, CT images alone cannot be used for ruling out SARS-CoV-2 infection because individual patients may exhibit normal radiological results in the primary phases of the disease. A machine learning (ML)-based recognition and segmentation system was developed to spontaneously discover and compute infection areas in CT scans of COVID-19 patients. The computable assessment exhibited suitable performance for automatic infection region allocation. The ML models developed were suitable for the direct detection of COVID-19 (?). ML was confirmed to be a complementary diagnostic technique for diagnosing COVID-19(?) by forefront medical specialists. The complete manual delineation of COVID-19 often requires up to 225.5 min; however, the proposed RILML method decreases the delineation time to 7 min after four iterations of model updating.
