Abstract

Computer Science is a field of deep knowledge, of which Artificial Intelligence has an imminent role in unraveling solutions to complex real-life situations. With technological advancements, we have been able to accomplish many said to be impossible tasks in the past, and are striving to achieve more and more everyday. Artificial Intelligence, being a sophisticated and advanced field of study, has revealed many techniques which can be used in various sectors of our society. One of such vital sectors is healthcare. Amidst many epidemics and pandemics, our human race has survived countless decades. Artificial Intelligence and its disciplines have proven to aid human beings when it comes to a healthy well-being. Among various disciplines, deep learning has assisted us in the most notable manner. In the current scenario where we are struggling to overcome a global pandemic, deep learning has led us to a breakthrough, which could possibly help us all in a positive manner. The proposed network utilizes deep learning to construct a feasible solution to detect COVID-19 with the help of CXR images(Chest Radiographs). COVID-19, being a respiratory disease, is said to accumulate in the lungs of the patients, and hence we can detect the virus’ presence at an early stage with this methodology. Our novel deep learning network is procured from the traditional Convolutional Neural Network, the working of which is similar to that of the structure of a human’s brain. Neural networks are said to function like a brain, analyzing and computing at faster rates than most of the existing networks. This network processes the image dataset consisting of chest radiographs to detect the presence of COVID-19 virus with the help of a novel neural networking model, which is said to have higher accuracy than the existing models.
