ABSTRACT
After the outbreak of COVID-19, the world economy and people’s health have been greatly challenged. What is the law of the spread of COVID-19, when will it reach its peak, and when will it be effectively controlled? These have all become major issues of common concern throughout China and the world. Based on this background, this article introduces a variety of classic computational intelligence technologies to predict the spread of COVID-19. Computational intelligence technology mainly includes support vector machine regression (SVR), Takagi-Sugeuo-Kang fuzzy system (TSK-FS), and extreme learning machine (ELM). Compare the predictions of the infection rate, mortality rate, and recovery rate of the COVID-19 epidemic in China by each intelligent model in 5 and 10 days, the effectiveness of the computational intelligence algorithm used in epidemic prediction is verified. Based on the prediction results, the patients are classified and managed. According to the time of illness, physical fitness and other factors, patients are divided into three categories: Severe, moderate, and mild. In the case of serious shortage of medical equipment and medical staff, auxiliary medical institutions take corresponding treatment measures for different patients.
