• Authors: Mohamed Bader, Ismail Shahin, Abdelfatah Hassan
• Abstract summary: We illustrate the importance of speech signal processing in the extraction of the Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) of the COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 samples. Our results show high similarity in MFCCs between different COVID-19 cough and breathing sounds, while MFCC of voice is more robust between COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 samples.

• Abstract: Recently there has been a formidable work which has been put up from the people who are working in the frontlines such as hospitals, clinics, and labs alongside researchers and scientists who are also putting tremendous efforts in the fight against COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the preposterous spread of the virus, the integration of the artificial intelligence has taken a considerable part in the health sector, by implementing the fundamentals of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and deep learning algorithms. In this paper, we illustrate the importance of speech signal processing in the extraction of the Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) of the COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 samples and find their relationship using Pearson correlation coefficients. Our results show high similarity in MFCCs between different COVID-19 cough and breathing sounds, while MFCC of voice is more robust between COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 samples. Moreover, our results are preliminary, and there is a possibility to exclude the voices of COVID-19 patients from further processing in diagnosing the disease.

  CIdeR is an end-to-end deep learning neural network originally designed to classify whether an individual is COVID-positive or COVID-negative. We demonstrate the potential of CIdeR at binary COVID-19 diagnosis from both the COVID-19 Cough and Speech Sub-Challenges of INTERSPEECH 2021, ComParE and DiCOVA.

  We introduce COVID-Net CXR-S, a convolutional neural network for predicting the airspace severity of a SARS-CoV-2 positive patient based on a CXR image of the patient's chest. We leveraged transfer learning to transfer representational knowledge gained from over 16,000 CXR images from a multinational cohort of over 15,000 patient cases into a custom network architecture for severity assessment. The proposed COVID-Net CXR-S has potential to be a powerful tool for computer-aided severity assessment of CXR images of COVID-19 positive patients.

Here we train deep neural networks to significantly enhance the capability to detect, grade and monitor COVID-19 patients using CXRs and LUS.

  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.
