Corona virus disease (Covid - 19) has started to promptly spread worldwide from April 2020 till date, leading to massive death and loss of lives of people across various countries. In accordance to the advices of WHO, presently the diagnosis is implemented by Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT- PCR) testing, that incurs four to eight hours’ time to process test samples and adds 48 hours to categorize whether the samples are positive or negative. It is obvious that laboratory tests are time consuming and hence a speedy and prompt diagnosis of the disease is extremely needed. This can be attained through several Artificial Intelligence methodologies for prior diagnosis and tracing of corona diagnosis. Those methodologies are summarized into three categories: (i) Predicting the pandemic spread using mathematical models (ii) Empirical analysis using machine learning models to forecast the global corona transition by considering susceptible, infected and recovered rate. (iii) Utilizing deep learning architectures for corona diagnosis using the input data in the form of X-ray images and CT scan images. When X-ray and CT scan images are taken into account, supplementary data like medical signs, patient history and laboratory test results can also be considered while training the learning model and to advance the testing efficacy. Thus the proposed investigation summaries the several mathematical models, machine learning algorithms and deep learning frameworks that can be executed on the datasets to forecast the traces of COVID-19 and detect the risk factors of coronavirus.

Aim: Radiomics refers to automatic extraction of numerous quantitative features from medical images to supplement visual assessment. Machine-learning algorithms provide a suitable statistical methodology for devising predictive classifiers based on large radiomics datasets. We aimed to predict intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) outcome by applying machine-learning classifiers to both clinical data and hematoma radiomics features. Methods: Patients enrolled in the Yale Longitudinal Study of ICH were included if they had (1) spontaneous supratentorial ICH, (2) baseline CT scan, (3) known admission Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), and (4) 3-month modified Rankin Scale (mRS). A total of 1134 radiomics features related to the intensity, shape, texture, and waveform were extracted from manually segmented ICH lesions on baseline CT. Clinical variables were patients’ age, gender, GCS, presence of intraventricular hemorrhage, and thalamic ICH. We calculated the averaged receiver operating characteristics (ROC) area under curve (AUC) in outcome prediction among 100 repeats of 5-fold cross-validation (x500 iterations) for different combinations of feature selection and machine-learning algorithms. Results: A total of 119 ICH patients were included, of whom 60 had poor outcome (mRS ≥4). Among different combinations, lasso regression feature selection and partial least square (PLS) classification model yielded the highest accuracy in outcome prediction (Figure), with an averaged (95% confidence interval) ROC AUC of 0.86 (0.83 - 0.89) using clinical variables “only”, versus 0.92 (0.89 - 0.95) using combination of clinical variables and 54 radiomics features selected by lasso regression. Among radiomics features selected by lasso regression, ICH lesion flatness had the highest variable importance and was the only shape feature selected. Conclusion: Addition of ICH lesion radiomics to clinical variables using machine-learning models can improve outcome prediction.

Medicine and engineering sciences have been working in close contact for common purposes. Machine learning algorithms are used in the medical field for early diagnosis prediction. The major aim of this study is to evaluate machine learning algorithms and deep learning algorithms using computed tomography scan (CT-scan) images for automated detection of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. We obtained seven hundred and fifty-seven (757) CT-scan images from a public platform. We applied four automated traditional classification methods to predict COVID-19 using deep learning and machine learning. These algorithms are SVM, AdaBoost, NASNetMobile, and InceptionV3. Comparative analyses are presented among the four models by considering metric performance factors to find the best model. The results show that the InceptionV3 model achieves better performance in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, Cohen’s kappa, F1- score, root mean squared error (RMSE), and receiver operating characteristic- area under the curve (ROC-AUC), in comparison with the other Covid-19 classifiers. Accordingly, the InceptionV3 approach is recommended for the automatic diagnosis of Covid-19 and assessments. This research can present a second point of view to medical experts and it can save time for researchers as the performance of standard machine learning methods in detecting COVID-19 is evaluated.
