Chest X-ray (CXR) imaging is a standard and crucial examination method used for suspected cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). In profoundly affected or limited resource areas, CXR imaging is preferable owing to its availability, low cost, and rapid results. However, given the rapidly spreading nature of COVID-19, such tests could limit the efficiency of pandemic control and prevention. In response to this issue, artificial intelligence methods such as deep learning are promising options for automatic diagnosis because they have achieved state-of-the-art performance in the analysis of visual information and a wide range of medical images. This paper reviews and critically assesses the preprint and published reports between March and May 2020 for the diagnosis of COVID-19 via CXR images using convolutional neural networks and other deep learning architectures. Despite the encouraging results, there is an urgent need for public, comprehensive, and diverse datasets. Further investigations in terms of explainable and justifiable decisions are also required for more robust, transparent, and accurate predictions.

Intrusion detection systems are devoted to monitor a network with aims at finding and avoiding anomalous events. In particular, we focus on misuse detection systems, which are trained to identify several known types of attacks. These can be unauthorized accesses, or denial of service attacks, among others. Whenever it scans a trace of a suspicious event, it is programmed to trigger an alert and/or to block this dangerous access to the system. Depending on the security policies of the network, the administrator may seek different requirements that will have a strong dependency on the behavior of the intrusion detection system. For a given application, the cost of raising false alarms could be higher than carrying out a preventive access lock. In other scenarios, there could be a necessity of correctly identifying the exact type of cyber attack to proceed in a given way. In this paper, we propose a multi-objective evolutionary fuzzy Communicated by V. Loia.
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.
