Abstract
In recent times, COVID-19, has a great impact on the healthcare sector and results in a wide range of respiratory illnesses. It is a type of Ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus, which affects humans as well as animals. Though several artificial intelligence-based COVID-19 diagnosis models have been presented in the literature, most of the works have not focused on the hyperparameter tuning process. Therefore, this paper proposes an intelligent COVID-19 diagnosis model using a barnacle mating optimization (BMO) algorithm with a cascaded recurrent neural network (CRNN) model, named BMO-CRNN. The proposed BMO-CRNN model aims to detect and classify the existence of COVID-19 from Chest X-ray images. Initially, pre-processing is applied to enhance the quality of the image. Next, the CRNN model is used for feature extraction, followed by hyperparameter tuning of CRNN via the BMO algorithm to improve the classification performance. The BMO algorithm determines the optimal values of the CRNN hyperparameters namely learning rate, batch size, activation function, and epoch count. The application of CRNN and hyperparameter tuning using the BMO algorithm shows the novelty of this work. A comprehensive simulation analysis is carried out to ensure the better performance of the BMO-CRNN model, and the experimental outcome is investigated using several performance metrics. The simulation results portrayed that the BMO-CRNN model has showcased optimal performance with an average sensitivity of 97.01%, specificity of 98.15%, accuracy of 97.31%, and F-measure of 97.73% compared to state-of-the-art methods.Description
