    Machine Learning based COVID-19 Mortality Prediction using Common Patient Data
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) Agrawal, S.; Patil, N.
    COVID-19 was declared a pandemic in 2020, and it caused havoc worldwide. The fact that it is unpredictable adds to its lethality. The world has already seen various COVID-19 infection waves, subsequent waves being even more deadly. Many patients are asymptomatic initially but suddenly develop breathing problems. More than four million people have died due to COVID-19. It is necessary to forecast a patient's likelihood of dying so that appropriate precautions can be implemented. In this study, a COVID-19 mortality prediction model which uses machine learning is proposed. Most of the current research work requires several patient features and lab test results to predict mortality. However, we suggest a simpler and more efficient technique that relies solely on X-rays and basic patient information such as age and gender. Several ensemble-based models were evaluated and compared using a variety of metrics, and the best method was able to achieve a classification accuracy of 92.6% and AUPRC of 0.95. © 2022 IEEE.

    Sentiment Analysis on Worldwide COVID-19 Outbreak
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024) Vasudev, R.; Dahikar, P.; Jain, A.; Patil, N.
    Sentiment analysis has proved to be an effective way to easily mine public opinions on issues, products, policies, etc. One of the ways this is achieved is by extracting social media content. Data extracted from the social media has proven time and again to be the most powerful source material for sentiment analysis tasks. Twitter, which is widely used by the general public to express their concerns over daily affairs, can be the strongest tool to provide data for such analysis. In this paper, we intend to use the tweets posted regarding the COVID-19 pandemic for a sentiment analysis study and sentiment classification using BERT model. Due to its transformer architecture and bidirectional approach, this deep learning model can be easily preferred as the best choice for our study. As expected, the model performed very well in all the considered classification metrics and achieved an overall accuracy of 92%. © 2024, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
