AI Analysis

This work addresses the need for an accurate and cost-effective diagnostic method for COVID-19 patients, but it is incremental as it applies existing methods to a new dataset.

The paper tackled COVID-19 diagnosis by comparing deep learning algorithms on chest X-ray images, achieving results that demonstrate their effectiveness in image recognition for this disease.

The aim of the work is to use deep neural network models for solving the problem of image recognition. These days, every human being is threatened by a harmful coronavirus disease, also called COVID-19 disease. The spread of coronavirus affects the economy of many countries in the world. To find COVID-19 patients early is very essential to avoid the spread and harm to society. Pathological tests and Chromatography(CT) scans are helpful for the diagnosis of COVID-19. However, these tests are having drawbacks such as a large number of false positives, and cost of these tests are so expensive. Hence, it requires finding an easy, accurate, and less expensive way for the detection of the harmful COVID-19 disease. Chest-x-ray can be useful for the detection of this disease. Therefore, in this work chest, x-ray images are used for the diagnosis of suspected COVID-19 patients using modern machine learning techniques. The analysis of the results is carried out and conclusions are made about the effectiveness of deep machine learning algorithms in image recognition problems.
