• Abstract summary: A critical phase in any pandemic is the early detection of cases to develop preventive treatments and strategies. In the case of COVID-19,several studies have indicated that chest radiography images of the infected patients show characteristic abnormalities. We present several unsupervised deep learning approaches, including convolutional and adversarially trained autoencoder.

• Abstract: The current COVID-19 pandemic is now getting contained, albeit at the cost of morethan2.3million human lives. A critical phase in any pandemic is the early detection of cases to develop preventive treatments and strategies. In the case of COVID-19,several studies have indicated that chest radiography images of the infected patients show characteristic abnormalities. However, at the onset of a given pandemic, such asCOVID-19, there may not be sufficient data for the affected cases to train models for their robust detection. Hence, supervised classification is ill-posed for this problem because the time spent in collecting large amounts of data from infected persons could lead to the loss of human lives and delays in preventive interventions. Therefore, we formulate the problem of identifying early cases in a pandemic as an anomaly detection problem, in which the data for healthy patients is abundantly available, whereas no training data is present for the class of interest (COVID-19 in our case). To solve this problem, we present several unsupervised deep learning approaches, including convolutional and adversarially trained autoencoder. We tested two settings on a publicly available dataset (COVIDx)by training the model on chest X-rays from (i) only healthy adults, and (ii) healthy and other non-COVID-19 pneumonia, and detected COVID-19 as an anomaly. Afterperforming3-fold cross validation, we obtain a ROC-AUC of0.765. These results are very encouraging and pave the way towards research for ensuring emergency preparedness in future pandemics, especially the ones that could be detected from chest X-rays

  The novel coronavirus (COVID-19), a highly infectious respiratory disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 has emerged as an unprecedented healthcare crisis. Early screening and diagnosis of symptomatic patients plays crucial role in isolation of patient to help stop community transmission. Due to its accessibility, availability, lower-cost, ease of sanitisation, and portable setup, chest X-Ray imaging can serve as an effective screening and diagnostic tool.

  The outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been continuously affecting human lives and communities around the world. We used multiple data sources, i.e., PubMed and ArXiv, and built several machine learning models to characterize the landscape of current COVID-19 research. Our findings confirm the types of research available in PubMed and ArXiv differ significantly, with the former exhibiting greater diversity in terms of COVID-19 related issues.
