Diagnostics (Basel) 2024; 14:1017. [PMID: 38786315 PMCID: PMC11119936 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics14101017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2024] [Revised: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The SARS-CoV-2 virus, responsible for COVID-19, often manifests symptoms akin to viral pneumonia, complicating early detection and potentially leading to severe COVID pneumonia and long-term effects. Particularly affecting young individuals, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems, the accurate classification of COVID-19 poses challenges, especially with highly dimensional image data. Past studies have faced limitations due to simplistic algorithms and small, biased datasets, yielding inaccurate results. In response, our study introduces a novel classification model that integrates advanced texture feature extraction methods, including GLCM, GLDM, and wavelet transform, within a deep learning framework. This innovative approach enables the effective classification of chest X-ray images into normal, COVID-19, and viral pneumonia categories, overcoming the limitations encountered in previous studies. Leveraging the unique textures inherent to each dataset class, our model achieves superior classification performance, even amidst the complexity and diversity of the data. Moreover, we present comprehensive numerical findings demonstrating the superiority of our approach over traditional methods. The numerical results highlight the accuracy (random forest (RF): 0.85; SVM (support vector machine): 0.70; deep learning neural network (DLNN): 0.92), recall (RF: 0.85, SVM: 0.74, DLNN: 0.93), precision (RF: 0.86, SVM: 0.71, DLNN: 0.87), and F1-Score (RF: 0.86, SVM: 0.72, DLNN: 0.89) of our proposed model. Our study represents a significant advancement in AI-based diagnostic systems for COVID-19 and pneumonia, promising improved patient outcomes and healthcare management strategies.

Abstract
Machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) are becoming more common in infection biology laboratories around the world. Yet, as they gain traction in research, novel frontiers arise. Novel artificial intelligence algorithms are capable of addressing advanced tasks like image generation and question answering. However, similar algorithms can prove useful in addressing advanced questions in infection biology like prediction of host-pathogen interactions or inferring virus protein conformations. Addressing such tasks requires large annotated data sets, which are often scarce in biomedical research. In this review, I bring together several successful examples where such tasks were addressed. I underline the importance of formulating novel AI tasks in infection biology accompanied by freely available benchmark data sets to address these tasks. Furthermore, I discuss the current state of the field and potential future trends. I argue that one such trend involves AI tools becoming more versatile.

Abstract
BACKGROUND COVID-19 needs to be diagnosed and staged to be treated accurately. However, prior studies' diagnostic and staging abilities for COVID-19 infection needed to be improved. Therefore, new deep learning-based approaches are required to aid radiologists in detecting and quantifying COVID-19-related lung infections. OBJECTIVE To develop deep learning-based models to classify and quantify COVID-19-related lung infections. METHODS Initially, Dual Decoder Attention-based Semantic Segmentation Networks (DDA-SSNets) such as Dual Decoder Attention-UNet (DDA-UNet) and Dual Decoder Attention-SegNet (DDA-SegNet) are proposed to facilitate the dual segmentation tasks such as lung lobes and infection segmentation in chest X-ray (CXR) images. The lung lobe and infection segmentations are mapped to grade the severity of COVID-19 infection in both the lungs of CXRs. Later, a Genetic algorithm-based Deep Convolutional Neural Network classifier with the optimum number of layers, namely GADCNet, is proposed to classify the extracted regions of interest (ROI) from the CXR lung lobes into COVID-19 and non-COVID-19. RESULTS The DDA-SegNet shows better segmentation with an average BCSSDC of 99.53% and 99.97% for lung lobes and infection segmentations, respectively, compared with DDA-UNet with an average BCSSDC of 99.14% and 99.92%. The proposed DDA-SegNet with GADCNet classifier offered excellent classification results with an average BCCAC of 99.98%, followed by the GADCNet with DDA-UNet with an average BCCAC of 99.92% after extensive testing and analysis. CONCLUSIONS The results show that the proposed DDA-SegNet has superior performance in the segmentation of lung lobes and COVID-19-infected regions in CXRs, along with improved severity grading compared to the DDA-UNet and improved accuracy of the GADCNet classifier in classifying the CXRs into COVID-19, and non-COVID-19.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Stone formation in the kidneys is a common disease, and the high rate of recurrence and morbidity of the disease worries all patients with kidney stones. There are many imaging options for diagnosing and managing kidney stone disease, and CT imaging is the preferred method. OBJECTIVES Radiologists need to manually analyse large numbers of CT slices to diagnose kidney stones, and this process is laborious and time-consuming. This study used deep automated learning (DL) algorithms to analyse kidney stones. The primary purpose of this study is to classify kidney stones accurately from CT scans using deep learning algorithms. METHODS The Inception-V3 model was selected as a reference in this study. Pre-trained with other CNN architectures were applied to a recorded dataset of abdominal CT scans of patients with kidney stones labelled by a radiologist. The minibatch size has been modified to 7, and the initial learning rate was 0.0085. RESULTS The performance of the eight models has been analysed with 8209 CT images recorded at the hospital for the first time. The training and test phases were processed with limited authentic recorded CT images. The outcome result of the test shows that the Inception-V3 model has a test accuracy of 98.52 % using CT images in detecting kidney stones. CONCLUSIONS The observation is that the Inception-V3 model is successful in detecting kidney stones of small size. The performance of the Inception-V3 Model is at a high level and can be used for clinical applications. The research helps the radiologist identify kidney stones with less computational cost and disregards the need for many experts for such applications.

Abstract
Radiology has been a pioneer in the healthcare industry's digital transformation, incorporating digital imaging systems like picture archiving and communication system (PACS) and teleradiology over the past thirty years. This shift has reshaped radiology services, positioning the field at a crucial junction for potential evolution into an integrated diagnostic service through artificial intelligence and machine learning. These technologies offer advanced tools for radiology's transformation. The radiology community has advanced computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) tools using machine learning techniques, notably deep learning convolutional neural networks (CNNs), for medical image pattern recognition. However, the integration of CAD tools into clinical practice has been hindered by challenges in workflow integration, unclear business models, and limited clinical benefits, despite development dating back to the 1990s. This comprehensive review focuses on detecting chest-related diseases through techniques like chest X-rays (CXRs), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine, and computed tomography (CT) scans. It examines the utilization of computer-aided programs by researchers for disease detection, addressing key areas: the role of computer-aided programs in disease detection advancement, recent developments in MRI, CXR, radioactive tracers, and CT scans for chest disease identification, research gaps for more effective development, and the incorporation of machine learning programs into diagnostic tools.

Biomed Signal Process Control 2023; 85:104857. [PMID: 36968651 PMCID: PMC10027978 DOI: 10.1016/j.bspc.2023.104857] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2022] [Revised: 02/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2023] [Indexed: 03/24/2023]
Abstract
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has infected over 603 million confirmed cases as of September 2022, and its rapid spread has raised concerns worldwide. More than 6.4 million fatalities in confirmed patients have been reported. According to reports, the COVID-19 virus causes lung damage and rapidly mutates before the patient receives any diagnosis-specific medicine. Daily increasing COVID-19 cases and the limited number of diagnosis tool kits encourage the use of deep learning (DL) models to assist health care practitioners using chest X-ray (CXR) images. The CXR is a low radiation radiography tool available in hospitals to diagnose COVID-19 and combat this spread. We propose a Multi-Textural Multi-Class (MTMC) UNet-based Recurrent Residual Convolutional Neural Network (MTMC-UR2CNet) and MTMC-UR2CNet with attention mechanism (MTMC-AUR2CNet) for multi-class lung lobe segmentation of CXR images. The lung lobe segmentation output of MTMC-UR2CNet and MTMC-AUR2CNet are mapped individually with their input CXRs to generate the region of interest (ROI). The multi-textural features are extracted from the ROI of each proposed MTMC network. The extracted multi-textural features from ROI are fused and are trained to the Whale optimization algorithm (WOA) based DeepCNN classifier on classifying the CXR images into normal (healthy), COVID-19, viral pneumonia, and lung opacity. The experimental result shows that the MTMC-AUR2CNet has superior performance in multi-class lung lobe segmentation of CXR images with an accuracy of 99.47%, followed by MTMC-UR2CNet with an accuracy of 98.39%. Also, MTMC-AUR2CNet improves the multi-textural multi-class classification accuracy of the WOA-based DeepCNN classifier to 97.60% compared to MTMC-UR2CNet.

Abstract
COVID-19 is a contagious disease that affects the human respiratory system. Infected individuals may develop serious illnesses, and complications may result in death. Using medical images to detect COVID-19 from essentially identical thoracic anomalies is challenging because it is time-consuming, laborious, and prone to human error. This study proposes an end-to-end deep-learning framework based on deep feature concatenation and a Multi-head Self-attention network. Feature concatenation involves fine-tuning the pre-trained backbone models of DenseNet, VGG-16, and InceptionV3, which are trained on a large-scale ImageNet, whereas a Multi-head Self-attention network is adopted for performance gain. End-to-end training and evaluation procedures are conducted using the COVID-19_Radiography_Dataset for binary and multi-classification scenarios. The proposed model achieved overall accuracies (96.33% and 98.67%) and F1_scores (92.68% and 98.67%) for multi and binary classification scenarios, respectively. In addition, this study highlights the difference in accuracy (98.0% vs. 96.33%) and F_1 score (97.34% vs. 95.10%) when compared with feature concatenation against the highest individual model performance. Furthermore, a virtual representation of the saliency maps of the employed attention mechanism focusing on the abnormal regions is presented using explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) technology. The proposed framework provided better COVID-19 prediction results outperforming other recent deep learning models using the same dataset.

Abstract
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic still has a significant impact on the worldwide population's health and well-being. Effective patient screening, including radiological examination employing chest radiography as one of the main screening modalities, is an important step in the battle against the disease. Indeed, the earliest studies on COVID-19 found that patients infected with COVID-19 present with characteristic anomalies in chest radiography. In this paper, we introduce COVID-ConvNet, a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) design suitable for detecting COVID-19 symptoms from chest X-ray (CXR) scans. The proposed deep learning (DL) model was trained and evaluated using 21,165 CXR images from the COVID-19 Database, a publicly available dataset. The experimental results demonstrate that our COVID-ConvNet model has a high prediction accuracy at 97.43% and outperforms recent related works by up to 5.9% in terms of prediction accuracy.

Abstract
Rapid identification of COVID-19 can assist in making decisions for effective treatment and epidemic prevention. The PCR-based test is expert-dependent, is time-consuming, and has limited sensitivity. By inspecting Chest R-ray (CXR) images, COVID-19, pneumonia, and other lung infections can be detected in real time. The current, state-of-the-art literature suggests that deep learning (DL) is highly advantageous in automatic disease classification utilizing the CXR images. The goal of this study is to develop models by employing DL models for identifying COVID-19 and other lung disorders more efficiently. For this study, a dataset of 18,564 CXR images with seven disease categories was created from multiple publicly available sources. Four DL architectures including the proposed CNN model and pretrained VGG-16, VGG-19, and Inception-v3 models were applied to identify healthy and six lung diseases (fibrosis, lung opacity, viral pneumonia, bacterial pneumonia, COVID-19, and tuberculosis). Accuracy, precision, recall, f1 score, area under the curve (AUC), and testing time were used to evaluate the performance of these four models. The results demonstrated that the proposed CNN model outperformed all other DL models employed for a seven-class classification with an accuracy of 93.15% and average values for precision, recall, f1-score, and AUC of 0.9343, 0.9443, 0.9386, and 0.9939. The CNN model equally performed well when other multiclass classifications including normal and COVID-19 as the common classes were considered, yielding accuracy values of 98%, 97.49%, 97.81%, 96%, and 96.75% for two, three, four, five, and six classes, respectively. The proposed model can also identify COVID-19 with shorter training and testing times compared to other transfer learning models.

Abstract
Recently, the infectious disease COVID-19 remains to have a catastrophic effect on the lives of human beings all over the world. To combat this deadliest disease, it is essential to screen the affected people quickly and least inexpensively. Radiological examination is considered the most feasible step toward attaining this objective; however, chest X-ray (CXR) and computed tomography (CT) are the most easily accessible and inexpensive options. This paper proposes a novel ensemble deep learning-based solution to predict the COVID-19-positive patients using CXR and CT images. The main aim of the proposed model is to provide an effective COVID-19 prediction model with a robust diagnosis and increase the prediction performance. Initially, pre-processing, like image resizing and noise removal, is employed using image scaling and median filtering techniques to enhance the input data for further processing. Various data augmentation styles, such as flipping and rotation, are applied to capable the model to learn the variations during training and attain better results on a small dataset. Finally, a new ensemble deep honey architecture (EDHA) model is introduced to effectively classify the COVID-19-positive and -negative cases. EDHA combines three pre-trained architectures like ShuffleNet, SqueezeNet, and DenseNet-201, to detect the class value. Moreover, a new optimization algorithm, the honey badger algorithm (HBA), is adapted in EDHA to determine the best values for the hyper-parameters of the proposed model. The proposed EDHA is implemented in the Python platform and evaluates the performance in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, f1-score, AUC, and MCC. The proposed model has utilized the publicly available CXR and CT datasets to test the solution's efficiency. As a result, the simulated outcomes showed that the proposed EDHA had achieved better performance than the existing techniques in terms of Accuracy, Sensitivity, Specificity, Precision, F1-Score, MCC, AUC, and Computation time are 99.1%, 99%, 98.6%, 99.6%, 98.9%, 99.2%, 0.98, and 820 s using the CXR dataset.

Abstract
The rapid spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has posed enormous challenges to the global public health system. To deal with the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, the more accurate and convenient diagnosis of patients needs to be developed. This paper proposes a deep-learning-based COVID-19 detection method and evaluates its performance on embedded edge-computing devices. By adding an attention module and mixed loss into the original VGG19 model, the method can effectively reduce the parameters of the model and increase the classification accuracy. The improved model was first trained and tested on the PC X86 GPU platform using a large dataset (COVIDx CT-2A) and a medium dataset (integrated CT scan); the weight parameters of the model were reduced by around six times compared to the original model, but it still approximately achieved 98.80%and 97.84% accuracy, outperforming most existing methods. The trained model was subsequently transferred to embedded NVIDIA Jetson devices (TX2, Nano), where it achieved 97% accuracy at a 0.6−1 FPS inference speed using the NVIDIA TensorRT engine. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is practicable and convenient; it can be used on a low-cost medical edge-computing terminal. The source code is available on GitHub for researchers.

MULTIMEDIA TOOLS AND APPLICATIONS 2023:1-54. [PMID: 37362676 PMCID: PMC10015538 DOI: 10.1007/s11042-023-15029-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2022] [Revised: 02/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023]
Abstract
This review investigates how Deep Machine Learning (DML) has dealt with the Covid-19 epidemic and provides recommendations for future Covid-19 research. Despite the fact that vaccines for this epidemic have been developed, DL methods have proven to be a valuable asset in radiologists' arsenals for the automated assessment of Covid-19. This detailed review debates the techniques and applications developed for Covid-19 findings using DL systems. It also provides insights into notable datasets used to train neural networks, data partitioning, and various performance measurement metrics. The PRISMA taxonomy has been formed based on pretrained(45 systems) and hybrid/custom(17 systems) models with radiography modalities. A total of 62 systems with respect to X-ray(32), CT(19), ultrasound(7), ECG(2), and genome sequence(2) based modalities as taxonomy are selected from the studied articles. We originate by valuing the present phase of DL and conclude with significant limitations. The restrictions contain incomprehensibility, simplification measures, learning from incomplete labeled data, and data secrecy. Moreover, DML can be utilized to detect and classify Covid-19 from other COPD illnesses. The proposed literature review has found many DL-based systems to fight against Covid19. We expect this article will assist in speeding up the procedure of DL for Covid-19 researchers, including medical, radiology technicians, and data engineers.

A Review of Recent Advances in Deep Learning Models for Chest Disease Detection Using Radiography. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:diagnostics13010159. [PMID: 36611451 PMCID: PMC9818166 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13010159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/26/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Chest X-ray radiography (CXR) is among the most frequently used medical imaging modalities. It has a preeminent value in the detection of multiple life-threatening diseases. Radiologists can visually inspect CXR images for the presence of diseases. Most thoracic diseases have very similar patterns, which makes diagnosis prone to human error and leads to misdiagnosis. Computer-aided detection (CAD) of lung diseases in CXR images is among the popular topics in medical imaging research. Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) provided techniques to make this task more efficient and faster. Numerous experiments in the diagnosis of various diseases proved the potential of these techniques. In comparison to previous reviews our study describes in detail several publicly available CXR datasets for different diseases. It presents an overview of recent deep learning models using CXR images to detect chest diseases such as VGG, ResNet, DenseNet, Inception, EfficientNet, RetinaNet, and ensemble learning methods that combine multiple models. It summarizes the techniques used for CXR image preprocessing (enhancement, segmentation, bone suppression, and data-augmentation) to improve image quality and address data imbalance issues, as well as the use of DL models to speed-up the diagnosis process. This review also discusses the challenges present in the published literature and highlights the importance of interpretability and explainability to better understand the DL models' detections. In addition, it outlines a direction for researchers to help develop more effective models for early and automatic detection of chest diseases.

D 2BOF-COVIDNet: A Framework of Deep Bayesian Optimization and Fusion-Assisted Optimal Deep Features for COVID-19 Classification Using Chest X-ray and MRI Scans. Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 13:diagnostics13010101. [PMID: 36611393 PMCID: PMC9818184 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13010101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Revised: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 12/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE In 2019, a corona virus disease (COVID-19) was detected in China that affected millions of people around the world. On 11 March 2020, the WHO declared this disease a pandemic. Currently, more than 200 countries in the world have been affected by this disease. The manual diagnosis of this disease using chest X-ray (CXR) images and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is time consuming and always requires an expert person; therefore, researchers introduced several computerized techniques using computer vision methods. The recent computerized techniques face some challenges, such as low contrast CTX images, the manual initialization of hyperparameters, and redundant features that mislead the classification accuracy. METHODS In this paper, we proposed a novel framework for COVID-19 classification using deep Bayesian optimization and improved canonical correlation analysis (ICCA). In this proposed framework, we initially performed data augmentation for better training of the selected deep models. After that, two pre-trained deep models were employed (ResNet50 and InceptionV3) and trained using transfer learning. The hyperparameters of both models were initialized through Bayesian optimization. Both trained models were utilized for feature extractions and fused using an ICCA-based approach. The fused features were further optimized using an improved tree growth optimization algorithm that finally was classified using a neural network classifier. RESULTS The experimental process was conducted on five publically available datasets and achieved an accuracy of 99.6, 98.5, 99.9, 99.5, and 100%. CONCLUSION The comparison with recent methods and t-test-based analysis showed the significance of this proposed framework.

Dual_Pachi: Attention-based dual path framework with intermediate second order-pooling for Covid-19 detection from chest X-ray images. Comput Biol Med 2022; 151:106324. [PMID: 36423531 PMCID: PMC9671873 DOI: 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2022.106324] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2022] [Revised: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
Numerous machine learning and image processing algorithms, most recently deep learning, allow the recognition and classification of COVID-19 disease in medical images. However, feature extraction, or the semantic gap between low-level visual information collected by imaging modalities and high-level semantics, is the fundamental shortcoming of these techniques. On the other hand, several techniques focused on the first-order feature extraction of the chest X-Ray thus making the employed models less accurate and robust. This study presents Dual_Pachi: Attention Based Dual Path Framework with Intermediate Second Order-Pooling for more accurate and robust Chest X-ray feature extraction for Covid-19 detection. Dual_Pachi consists of 4 main building Blocks; Block one converts the received chest X-Ray image to CIE LAB coordinates (L & AB channels which are separated at the first three layers of a modified Inception V3 Architecture.). Block two further exploit the global features extracted from block one via a global second-order pooling while block three focuses on the low-level visual information and the high-level semantics of Chest X-ray image features using a multi-head self-attention and an MLP Layer without sacrificing performance. Finally, the fourth block is the classification block where classification is done using fully connected layers and SoftMax activation. Dual_Pachi is designed and trained in an end-to-end manner. According to the results, Dual_Pachi outperforms traditional deep learning models and other state-of-the-art approaches described in the literature with an accuracy of 0.96656 (Data_A) and 0.97867 (Data_B) for the Dual_Pachi approach and an accuracy of 0.95987 (Data_A) and 0.968 (Data_B) for the Dual_Pachi without attention block model. A Grad-CAM-based visualization is also built to highlight where the applied attention mechanism is concentrated.

Abstract
COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes acute respiratory syndrome, is a contagious and deadly disease that has devastating effects on society and human life. COVID-19 can cause serious complications, especially in patients with pre-existing chronic health problems such as diabetes, hypertension, lung cancer, weakened immune systems, and the elderly. The most critical step in the fight against COVID-19 is the rapid diagnosis of infected patients. Computed Tomography (CT), chest X-ray (CXR), and RT-PCR diagnostic kits are frequently used to diagnose the disease. However, due to difficulties such as the inadequacy of RT-PCR test kits and false negative (FN) results in the early stages of the disease, the time-consuming examination of medical images obtained from CT and CXR imaging techniques by specialists/doctors, and the increasing workload on specialists, it is challenging to detect COVID-19. Therefore, researchers have suggested searching for new methods in COVID- 19 detection. In analysis studies with CT and CXR radiography images, it was determined that COVID-19-infected patients experienced abnormalities related to COVID-19. The anomalies observed here are the primary motivation for artificial intelligence researchers to develop COVID-19 detection applications with deep convolutional neural networks. Here, convolutional neural network-based deep learning algorithms from artificial intelligence technologies with high discrimination capabilities can be considered as an alternative approach in the disease detection process. This study proposes a deep convolutional neural network, COVID-DSNet, to diagnose typical pneumonia (bacterial, viral) and COVID-19 diseases from CT, CXR, hybrid CT + CXR images. In the multi-classification study with the CT dataset, 97.60 % accuracy and 97.60 % sensitivity values were obtained from the COVID-DSNet model, and 100 %, 96.30 %, and 96.58 % sensitivity values were obtained in the detection of typical, common pneumonia and COVID-19, respectively. The proposed model is an economical, practical deep learning network that data scientists can benefit from and develop. Although it is not a definitive solution in disease diagnosis, it may help experts as it produces successful results in detecting pneumonia and COVID-19.

Abstract
Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic coronavirus has put a lot of pressure on health systems around the world. One of the most common ways to detect COVID-19 is to use chest X-ray images, which have the advantage of being cheap and fast. However, in the early days of the COVID-19 outbreak, most studies applied pretrained convolutional neural network (CNN) models, and the features produced by the last convolutional layer were directly passed into the classification head. In this study, the proposed ensemble model consists of three lightweight networks, Xception, MobileNetV2 and NasNetMobile as three original feature extractors, and then three base classifiers are obtained by adding the coordinated attention module, LSTM and a new classification head to the original feature extractors. The classification results from the three base classifiers are then fused by a confidence fusion method. Three publicly available chest X-ray datasets for COVID-19 testing were considered, with ternary (COVID-19, normal and other pneumonia) and quaternary (COVID-19, normal) analyses performed on the first two datasets, bacterial pneumonia and viral pneumonia classification, and achieved high accuracy rates of 95.56% and 91.20%, respectively. The third dataset was used to compare the performance of the model compared to other models and the generalization ability on different datasets. We performed a thorough ablation study on the first dataset to understand the impact of each proposed component. Finally, we also performed visualizations. These saliency maps not only explain key prediction decisions of the model, but also help radiologists locate areas of infection. Through extensive experiments, it was finally found that the results obtained by the proposed method are comparable to the state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract
COVID-19 is a widespread deadly virus that directly affects the human lungs. The spread of COVID-19 did not stop at humans but also reached animals, so it was necessary to limit it is spread and diagnose cases quickly by applying a quarantine to the infected people. Recently x-ray lung images are used to determine the infection and from here the idea of this research came to use deep learning techniques to analyze x-ray lung images publicly available on Kaggle to possibly detect COVID-19 infection. In this article, we have proposed a method to possibly detect the COVID-19 by analyzing the X-ray images and applying a number of deep learning pre-trained models such as InceptionV3, DenseNet121, ResNet50, and VGG16, and the results are compared to determine the best performance model and accuracy with the least loss for our dataset. Our evaluation results showed that the best performing model for our dataset is ResNet50 with accuracies of 99.99%, 99.50%, and 99.44% for training, validation, and testing respectively followed by DenseNet121, InceptionV3, and finally VGG16.

Abstract
Machine learning has already been used as a resource for disease detection and health care as a complementary tool to help with various daily health challenges. The advancement of deep learning techniques and a large amount of data-enabled algorithms to outperform medical teams in certain imaging tasks, such as pneumonia detection, skin cancer classification, hemorrhage detection, and arrhythmia detection. Automated diagnostics, which are enabled by images extracted from patient examinations, allow for interesting experiments to be conducted. This research differs from the related studies that were investigated in the experiment. These works are capable of binary categorization into two categories. COVID-Net, for example, was able to identify a positive case of COVID-19 or a healthy person with 93.3% accuracy. Another example is CHeXNet, which has a 95% accuracy rate in detecting cases of pneumonia or a healthy state in a patient. Experiments revealed that the current study was more effective than the previous studies in detecting a greater number of categories and with a higher percentage of accuracy. The results obtained during the model's development were not only viable but also excellent, with an accuracy of nearly 96% when analyzing a chest X-ray with three possible diagnoses in the two experiments conducted.

Segmentation-Based Classification Deep Learning Model Embedded with Explainable AI for COVID-19 Detection in Chest X-ray Scans. Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 12:diagnostics12092132.

Abstract
Background and Motivation: COVID-19 has resulted in a massive loss of life during the last two years. The current imaging-based diagnostic methods for COVID-19 detection in multiclass pneumonia-type chest X-rays are not so successful in clinical practice due to high error rates. Our hypothesis states that if we can have a segmentation-based classification error rate <5%, typically adopted for 510 (K) regulatory purposes, the diagnostic system can be adapted in clinical settings. Method: This study proposes 16 types of segmentation-based classification deep learning-based systems for automatic, rapid, and precise detection of COVID-19. The two deep learning-based segmentation networks, namely UNet and UNet+, along with eight classification models, namely VGG16, VGG19, Xception, InceptionV3, Densenet201, NASNetMobile, Resnet50, and MobileNet, were applied to select the best-suited combination of networks. Using the cross-entropy loss function, the system performance was evaluated by Dice, Jaccard, area-under-the-curve (AUC), and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) and validated using Grad-CAM in explainable AI framework. Results: The best performing segmentation model was UNet, which exhibited the accuracy, loss, Dice, Jaccard, and AUC of 96.35%, 0.15%, 94.88%, 90.38%, and 0.99 (p-value <0.0001), respectively. The best performing segmentation-based classification model was UNet+Xception, which exhibited the accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and AUC of 97.45%, 97.46%, 97.45%, 97.43%, and 0.998 (p-value <0.0001), respectively. Our system outperformed existing methods for segmentation-based classification models. The mean improvement of the UNet+Xception system over all the remaining studies was 8.27%. Conclusion: The segmentation-based classification is a viable option as the hypothesis (error rate <5%) holds true and is thus adaptable in clinical practice.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious disease that has claimed the lives of millions of people worldwide in the last 2 years. Because of the disease's rapid spread, it is critical to diagnose it at an early stage in order to reduce the rate of spread. The images of the lungs are used to diagnose this infection. In the last 2 years, many studies have been introduced to help with the diagnosis of COVID-19 from chest X-Ray images. Because all researchers are looking for a quick method to diagnose this virus, deep learning-based computer controlled techniques are more suitable as a second opinion for radiologists. In this article, we look at the issue of multisource fusion and redundant features. We proposed a CNN-LSTM and improved max value features optimization framework for COVID-19 classification to address these issues. The original images are acquired and the contrast is increased using a combination of filtering algorithms in the proposed architecture. The dataset is then augmented to increase its size, which is then used to train two deep learning networks called Modified EfficientNet B0 and CNN-LSTM. Both networks are built from scratch and extract information from the deep layers. Following the extraction of features, the serial based maximum value fusion technique is proposed to combine the best information of both deep models. However, a few redundant information is also noted; therefore, an improved max value based moth flame optimization algorithm is proposed. Through this algorithm, the best features are selected and finally classified through machine learning classifiers. The experimental process was conducted on three publically available datasets and achieved improved accuracy than the existing techniques. Moreover, the classifiers based comparison is also conducted and the cubic support vector machine gives better accuracy.

Abstract
Smartphones have enabled the widespread use of mobile applications. However, there are unrecognized defects of mobile applications that can affect businesses due to a negative user experience. To avoid this, the defects of applications should be detected and removed before release. This study aims to develop a defect prediction model for mobile applications. We performed cross-project and within-project experiments and also used deep learning algorithms, such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) and long short term memory (LSTM) to develop a defect prediction model for Android-based applications. Based on our within-project experimental results, the CNN-based model provides the best performance for mobile application defect prediction with a 0.933 average area under ROC curve (AUC) value. For cross-project mobile application defect prediction, there is still room for improvement when deep learning algorithms are preferred.

Abstract
Recently, the COVID-19 epidemic has resulted in millions of deaths and has impacted practically every area of human life. Several machine learning (ML) approaches are employed in the medical field in many applications, including detecting and monitoring patients, notably in COVID-19 management. Different medical imaging systems, such as computed tomography (CT) and X-ray, offer ML an excellent platform for combating the pandemic. Because of this need, a significant quantity of study has been carried out; thus, in this work, we employed a systematic literature review (SLR) to cover all aspects of outcomes from related papers. Imaging methods, survival analysis, forecasting, economic and geographical issues, monitoring methods, medication development, and hybrid apps are the seven key uses of applications employed in the COVID-19 pandemic. Conventional neural networks (CNNs), long short-term memory networks (LSTM), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), autoencoders, random forest, and other ML techniques are frequently used in such scenarios. Next, cutting-edge applications related to ML techniques for pandemic medical issues are discussed. Various problems and challenges linked with ML applications for this pandemic were reviewed. It is expected that additional research will be conducted in the upcoming to limit the spread and catastrophe management. According to the data, most papers are evaluated mainly on characteristics such as flexibility and accuracy, while other factors such as safety are overlooked. Also, Keras was the most often used library in the research studied, accounting for 24.4 percent of the time. Furthermore, medical imaging systems are employed for diagnostic reasons in 20.4 percent of applications.
