Adaptive Fuzzy Neural Network vs. Convolution Neural Network in Classifying COVID-19 from Chest X-rays

ABSTRACT

Detecting COVID-19 in the early time can save lives and reduce the cost of huge pressure on healthcare centers. Many machine and deep learning models have been proposed by researchers to detect and diagnose COVID-19 based on chest X-rays. However, we need to know which of those models is more effective and efficient. This paper presents a comparative study between adaptive fuzzy neural network (AFNN) and convolutional neural network (CNN) in classifying COVID-19 using chest X-rays. We present the experimental results showing the comparative performance measures with respect to the size of available dataset. We also present the relative advantage of each family of neural network in accuracy, precision, recall, F1score, and the computation time. © 2022 IEEE.
