A NEW METHOD BASED CNN COMBINED WITH GENETIC ALGORITHM AND SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINE FOR COVID-19 DETECTION BY ANALYZING X-RAY IMAGES

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus. This new type of virus and disease was unknown before the outbreak began in Wuhan, China in December 2019. COVID-19 poses a serious public health threat. Older adults and people with pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, chronic lung diseases, obesity are at higher risk of experiencing complications and serious illness. The computer scientist applied several machine learning and deep learning techniques to detect COVID-19 in last year. In this study, efficient COVID-19 detection framework presented to detect COVID-19 by analyzing x-ray tests. The proposed framework based CNN combined with genetic algorithm and SVM classifier. The main contribution in this study is combining CNN with genetic algorithm and SVM to detect COVID-19 with accurate estimation and minimum execution time. Several scenarios are executed to validated the presented method. Finally, the obtained results compared with several studies presented to solve this problem.
