Abstract

Machine learning technology, particularly neural networks, provides useful tools for diagnosing diseases. This study focuses on how convolutional neural networks can be implemented to diagnose COVID-19 through the processing of x-ray images. This study demonstrates how the convolutional neural networks DenseNet201, ResNet152, VGG16, and InceptionV3 can aid healthcare providers in the diagnosis of COVID-19. The models returned accuracies of 98.73%, 97.23%, 91.25% and 98.38% respectively. The results from these experiments are compared to previous studies by evaluating F1-score, accuracy, precision and recall. Additionally, the important problems of hyperparameter tuning and data imbalance are explored and addressed. Areas for future research in this area are also suggested.
