Classification and Categorization of COVID-19 Outbreak in Pakistan

Abstract

Coronavirus is a potentially fatal disease that normally occurs in mammals and birds. Generally, in humans, the virus spreads through aerial droplets of any type of fluid secreted from the body of an infected person. Coronavirus is a family of viruses that is more lethal than other unpremeditated viruses. In December 2019, a new variant, i.e., a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) developed in Wuhan province, China. Since January 23, 2020, the number of infected individuals has increased rapidly, affecting the health and economies of many countries, including Pakistan. The objective of this research is to provide a system to classify and categorize the COVID-19 outbreak in Pakistan based on the data collected every day from different regions of Pakistan. This research also compares the performance of machine learning classifiers (i.e., Decision Tree (DT), Naive Bayes (NB), Support Vector Machine, and Logistic Regression) on the COVID-19 dataset collected in Pakistan. According to the experimental results, DT and NB classifiers outperformed the other classifiers. In addition, the classified data is categorized by implementing a Bayesian Regularization Artificial Neural Network (BRANN) classifier. The results demonstrate that the BRANN classifier outperforms state-of-the-art classifiers.

Neural Network Based Mental Depression Identification and Sentiments Classification Technique From Speech Signals: A COVID-19 Focused Pandemic Study

“…Table 1 shows the parameters related to the mental stress and paradigms to provide decision support. The table highlights the evaluation parameters such as the occurrence delay of a keyword in clustering, as shown in Equation (11). The supported approach thus classifies the pattern of these keyword occurrence sequences for decision making.…”

“…These MooM datasets include a signal processing unit for a standardized approach and can be used for intimated processing in the proposed study, with a supported algorithm from ( 10 ). The method of detecting and validating speech signals is also proposed in this article, based on the influence of telemedicine approaches with a numerical clustering validation by ( 11 ) and ( 12 ).…”

Deep Learning-based Sentiment Analysis and Topic Modeling on Tourism During Covid-19 Pandemic

“…Social media is a rich source of information for tourists planning for any travel strategy. Machine learning and deep learning have played an important role in the field of medical image processing where machine learning algorithms have been used to classify Covid-19 affected individuals (Bhattacharya et al, 2021) and classifying the severity of Covid-19 diagnosed patient using neuro fuzzy techniques (Ayoub et al, 2021;Iwendi et al, 2021). Another study on how deep learning is being used for healthcare delivery in low and middle income countries has been done where the authors have explained how pneumonia detection using state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms can be utilized to help those countries with limited facilities and resources (Williams et al, 2021).…”

Deep Learning-Based Transfer Learning for Classification of Skin Cancer

“…In today's era, with the usage of artificial intelligence and deep learning [7] in medical diagnostics [8], the efficiency of predicting a result increases exponentially as compared to the dependency on a visual diagnostic [9][10][11], Machine learning also has applications in many other fields, alongside the medical field [12][13][14][15][16]. The convolutional neural network (CNN) is an important artificial intelligence algorithm in feature selection and object classification [17][18][19].…”
