Abstract

COVID-19 is a new disease, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, that was firstly delineated in humans in 2019.Coronaviruses cause a range of illness in patients varying from common cold to advanced respiratory syndromes such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV). )e SARS-CoV-2 outbreak has resulted in a global pandemic, and its transmission is increasing at a rapid rate. Diagnostic testing and approaches provide a valuable tool for doctors and support them with the screening process. Automatic COVID-19 identification in chest X-ray images can be useful to test for COVID-19 infection at a good speed. )erefore, in this paper, a framework is designed by using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to diagnose COVID-19 patients using chest X-ray images. A pretrained GoogLeNet is utilized for implementing the transfer learning (i.e., by replacing some sets of final network CNN layers). 20-fold crossvalidation is considered to overcome the overfitting quandary. Finally, the multiobjective genetic algorithm is considered to tune the hyperparameters of the proposed COVID-19 identification in chest X-ray images. Extensive experiments show that the proposed COVID-19 identification model obtains remarkably better results and may be utilized for real-time testing of patients.
