Abstract
The COVID-19 which is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 or SARS-CoV-2, has taken a lot of human life and still continuing, and significantly disrupting the healthcare system. Due to challenges and controversies to testing for COVID-19, improved, alternative cost-effective, and machine learning methods are needed to detect the disease and related data analysis. For this purpose, machine learning (ML) approaches emerge as a strong forecasting method to detect a disease including COVID-19. Our proposed ensemble machine learning (EML) is a technique that leverages multiple deep learning models and then combines them to produce improved results. In this paper, we proposed an EML approach to detect COVID-19 using chest x-ray images. Radiographic images are readily available, which can be used as an effective tool compared to other expensive and time-consuming pathological tests, but not to replace pathological tests but rather give alternative extra confirmation and more detailed analysis to the medical fraternity. In conclusion, automatic computational machine learning models allow for rapid analysis of chest X-ray images and thus enable radiologists to filter potential candidates in a time-effective manner to detect COVID-19. Our proposed approach has very promising results with an average detection accuracy of 93.56% and a sensitivity of 91.24%, and an F1 score is 0.91.
