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 …

SMU Data Science Review

The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated existing hospital capacity limitations in the United States, causing hospitals in certain regions to hit maximum capacity. The purpose of this study is to investigate key features of COVID-19 related admissions to help create a higher level of public understanding and help guide healthcare management professionals and governments when considering preventive measures. The introduction of preventative measures and new regulations during the pandemic have led to the generation of multiple types of models and feature selection methods in the field of Machine Learning that are increasingly complicated. This study focuses on the exploration of feature …
