Abstract

During the global urgency, the scientific world is searching for new innovation and technology to tackle the pandemic. It is the necessity to develop a tool that will monitor and reduce human intervention in treating COVID-19. Major techniques/tools are available to control the current situation by diagnosing the patients with the help of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI). These techniques have helped researchers in identifying/controlling the epidemic in past decades. The use of ML and AI has helped medical fraternity to significantly improve screening, testing, predicting and treating and helped in developing vaccines for COVID-19 patients. This article presents a view of how techniques like AI and ML are used for detecting, classifying and clustering of novel coronavirus disease 2019 by using the various types of medical images.
