COVID-19 Detection using Deep Learning

Abstract

Deep learning is an artificial intelligence function that imitates the workings of the human brain in processing data and creating patterns for use in decision making. Deep learning is a subset of machine learning in artificial intelligence (AI) that has networks capable of learning and recognizing patterns from data that is unstructured or unlabelled. It is also known as deep neural learning or deep neural network. Convolutional Neural Networks (ConvNets or CNNs) are a category of Neural Networks that have proven very effective in areas such as image recognition and classification. ConvNets have been successful in identifying faces, objects and traffic signs apart from powering vision in robots and self-driving cars. ConvNets can also be used for Radio Imaging which helps in disease detection. This paper helps in detecting COVID-19 from the X-ray images provided to the model using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and image augmentation techniques.
