Human Centered Decision-Making for COVID-19 Testing Center Location Selection: Tamil Nadu—A Case Study

Abstract

This paper proposes a blend of three techniques to select COVID-19 testing centers. The objective of the paper is to identify a suitable location to establish new COVID-19 testing centers. Establishment of the testing center in the needy locations will be beneficial to both public and government officials. Selection of the wrong location may lead to lose both health and wealth. In this paper, location selection is modelled as a decision-making problem. The paper uses fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) technique to generate the criteria weights, monkey search algorithm to optimize the weights, and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method to rank the different locations. To illustrate the applicability of the proposed technique, a state named Tamil Nadu, located in India, is taken for a case study. The proposed structured algorithmic steps were applied for the input data obtained from the government of India website, and the results were analyzed and validated using the government of India website. The ranks assigned by the proposed technique to different locations are in aligning with the number of patients and death rate.

Prediction of the Age and Gender Based on Human Face Images Based on Deep Learning Algorithm

“…Feature selection is then proceeded by the classification process which classifies the face image in terms of age and gender. Age is categorized into 8 classes as (0-2), (4-6), (8)(9)(10)(11)(12), (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20), (25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32), (38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43), (48)(49)(50)(51)(52)(53), and (60-100), and gender is categorized as male/female. Figure 7 shows the result of classification.…”

“…DBN learning is quicker than DNN due to the inclusion of RBM. The RBMs are stacked DBM with unguided connections across the levels [48][49][50][51][52][53].…”

Diagnosing Breast Cancer Based on the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System

“…A popular trustworthy classification method from the NN is the multilayer backpropagation network [ 2 ]. And a radial basis function [ 3 ] is a dominant neural approach that uses radial basis procedures. In that, neuron parameters are considered for producing better performance.…”
