COVID-19 has become the most devastating disease of the current century and is pandemic. As per WHO report, there are globally 31,174,627 confirmed cases including 962,613 deaths as of 22
nd
September,2020. The disease is spreading through outbreaks despite the availability of latest technologies for treatment of patients. In this paper, we proposed a neural network-based prediction of number of cases in India due to COVID-19. Recurrent neural network (RNN) based LSTM is applied on India dataset for prediction. LSTM networks are a type of RNN capable of learning order dependence in sequence forecasting problems. We analyze the performance of the network and then compare it with two parameter reduced variants of LSTM, obtained by elimination of hidden unit signals, bias and input signal. For performance evaluation, we used the MSE measure.
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.
