Cov-Inception: Covid-19 Detection Tool Using Chest X-Ray, Aswini Thota, Ololade Awodipe, Rashmi Patel

SMU Data Science Review

Since the pandemic started, researchers have been trying to find a way to detect COVID-19 which is a cost-effective, fast, and reliable way to keep the economy viable and running. This research details how chest X-ray radiography can be utilized to detect the infection. This can be for implementation in Airports, Schools, and places of business. Currently, Chest imaging is not a first-line test for COVID-19 due to low diagnostic accuracy and confounding with other viral pneumonia. Different pre-trained algorithms were fine-tuned and applied to the images to train the model and the best model obtained was fine-tuned InceptionV3 model …

Pristine Sentence Translation: A New Approach To A Timeless Problem, Meenu Ahluwalia, Brian Coari, Ben Brock

SMU Data Science Review

Abstract.

Pristine Sentence Translation (PST) is a new approach to language translation based upon sentence-level granularity. Traditional translation approaches, including those utilizing advanced machine learning or neural network-based approaches, translate on a word-by-word or phrase-by-phrase basis; thereby, potentially missing the context or meaning of the complete sentence. Instead of these piecewise translations, PST utilizes deep learning and predictive modeling techniques to translate complete sentences from their source language into their target language. With these approaches we were able to translate sentences that closely conveyed the meaning of the original sentences. Our results demonstrated that PST’s method of translating an entire …
