New COVID-19 Study Findings Have Been Published by Researchers at King Saud University (Machine learning approaches in COVID-19 diagnosis, mortality, and severity risk prediction: A review)

摘要

2021 MAY 05 (NewsRx) - By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Disease Prevention Daily - A new study on coronavirus is now available. According to news originating from King Saud University by NewsRx editors, the research stated, "The existence of widespread COVID-19 infections has prompted worldwide efforts to control and manage the virus, and hopefully curb it completely. One important line of research is the use of machine learning (ML) to understand and fight COVID-19." Our news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from King Saud University: "This is currently an active research field. Although there are already many surveys in the literature, there is a need to keep up with the rapidly growing number of publications on COVID-19-related applications of ML. This paper presents a review of recent reports on ML algorithms used in relation to COVID-19. We focus on the potential of ML for two main applications: diagnosis of COVID-19 and prediction of mortality risk and severity, using readily available clinical and laboratory data. Aspects related to algorithm types, training data sets, and feature selection are discussed. As we cover work published between January 2020 and January 2021, a few key points have come to light. The bulk of the machine learning algorithms used in these two applications are supervised learning algorithms. The established models are yet to be used in real-world implementations, and much of the associated research is experimental."
