COVID-19 Hierarchical Classification Using a Deep Learning Multi-Modal

Since early 2020, coronavirus has spread extensively throughout the globe. It was first detected in Wuhan, a province in China. Many researchers have proposed various models to solve problems related to COVID-19 detection. As traditional medical approaches take a lot of time to detect the virus and require specific laboratory tests, the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), including machine learning, might play an important role in handling the problem. A great deal of research has seen the adoption of AI succeed in the early detection of COVID-19 using X-ray images. Unfortunately, the majority of deep learning adoption for COVID-19 detection has the shortcomings of high error detection and high computation costs. In this study, we employed a hybrid model using an auto-encoder (AE) and a convolutional neural network (CNN) (named AMIKOMNET) with a small number of layers and parameters. We implemented an ensemble learning mechanism in the AMIKOMNET model using Adaboost with the aim of reducing error detection in COVID-19 classification tasks. The experimental results for the binary class show that our model achieved high effectiveness, with 96.90% accuracy, 95.06% recall, 94.67% F1-score, and 96.03% precision. The experimental result for the multiclass achieved 95.13% accuracy, 94.93% recall, 95.75% F1-score, and 96.19% precision. The adoption of Adaboost in AMIKOMNET for the binary class increased the effectiveness of the model to 98.45% accuracy, 96.16% recall, 95.70% F1-score, and 96.87% precision. The adoption of Adaboost in AMIKOMNET in the multiclass classification task also saw an increase in performance, with an accuracy of 96.65%, a recall of 94.93%, an F1-score of 95.76%, and a precision of 96.19%. The implementation of AE to handle image feature extraction combined with a CNN used to handle dimensional image feature reduction achieved outstanding performance when compared to previous work using a deep learning platform. Exploiting Adaboost also increased the effectiveness of the AMIKOMNET model in detecting COVID-19.

Chest X-ray imaging is an essential tool in the diagnostic procedure for pulmonary conditions, providing healthcare professionals with the capability to immediately and accurately determine lung anomalies. This imaging modality is fundamental in assessing and confirming the presence of various lung issues, allowing for timely and effective medical intervention. In response to the widespread prevalence of pulmonary infections globally, there is a growing imperative to adopt automated systems that leverage deep learning (DL) algorithms. These systems are particularly adept at handling large radiological datasets and providing high precision. This study introduces an advanced identification model that utilizes the VGG16 architecture, specifically adapted for identifying various lung anomalies such as opacity, COVID-19 pneumonia, normal appearance of the lungs, and viral pneumonia. Furthermore, we address the issue of model generalizability, which is of prime significance in our work. We employed the data augmentation technique through CycleGAN, which, through experimental outcomes, has proven effective in enhancing the robustness of our model. The combined performance of our advanced VGG model with the CycleGAN augmentation technique demonstrates remarkable outcomes in several evaluation metrics, including recall, F1-score, accuracy, precision, and area under the curve (AUC). The results of the advanced VGG16 model showcased remarkable accuracy, achieving 98.58%. This study contributes to advancing generative artificial intelligence (AI) in medical imaging analysis and establishes a solid foundation for ongoing developments in computer vision technologies within the healthcare sector.
