Artificial Intelligence and Data Science community has contributed to the global response against the new coronavirus, COVID-19. Significant attention has been given to detection and diagnosis tools with rapid diagnostic tools based on X-rays using deep learning being proposed. In this paper we present an evaluation of several well-known pretrained deep CNN models in a transfer learning setup for COVID-19 detection from chest X-ray images. Two different publicly available datasets were employed and different setups were tested using each of them separately of mixing them. The best performing models among the evaluated ones were the DenseNet, ResNet and Xception models, with the results indicating the possibility of identifying COVID-19 positive cases from chest X-ray images.
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.
