The COVID-19 pandemic created significant interest and demand for infection detection and monitoring solutions. In this paper, we propose a machine learning method to quickly detect COVID-19 using audio recordings made on consumer devices. The approach combines signal processing and noise removal methods with an ensemble of fine-tuned deep learning networks and enables COVID detection on coughs. We have also developed and deployed a mobile application that uses a symptoms checker together with voice, breath, and cough signals to detect COVID-19 infection. The application showed robust performance on both openly sourced datasets and the noisy data collected during beta testing by the end users.
Analysis of chest CT scans can be used in detecting parts of lungs that are affected by infectious diseases such as COVID-19. Determining the volume of lungs affected by lesions is essential for formulating treatment recommendations and prioritizing patients by severity of the disease. In this paper we adopted an approach based on using an ensemble of deep convolutional neural networks for segmentation of slices of lung CT scans. Using our models we are able to segment the lesions, evaluate patients dynamics, estimate relative volume of lungs affected by lesions and evaluate the lung damage stage. Our models were trained on data from different medical centers. We compared predictions of our models with those of six experienced radiologists and our segmentation model outperformed most of them. On the task of classification of disease severity, our model outperformed all the radiologists. CCS Concepts: • Applied computing → Health care information systems; • Computing methodologies → Computer vision; Ensemble methods.

In this article we adopted an approach based on using an ensemble of deep convolutional neural networks for segmentation of slices of lung CT scans. Using our models, we are able to segment the lesions, evaluate patients’ dynamics, estimate relative volume of lungs affected by lesions, and evaluate the lung damage stage. Our models were trained on data from different medical centers. We compared predictions of our models with those of six experienced radiologists, and our segmentation model outperformed most of them.

Writing mammography reports can be errorprone and time-consuming for radiologists.In this paper we propose a method to generate mammography reports given four images, corresponding to the four views used in screening mammography. To the best of our knowledge our work represents the first attempt to generate the mammography report using deep-learning.We propose an encoder-decoder model that includes an EfficientNet-based encoder and a Transformerbased decoder. We demonstrate that the Transformer-based attention mechanism can combine visual and semantic information to localize salient regions on the input mammograms and generate a visually interpretable report. The conducted experiments, including an evaluation by a certified radiologist, show the effectiveness of the proposed method. Our code is available at https://github. com/sberbank-ai-lab/mammo2text.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
