A study of learning models for COVID-19 disease prediction

Coronavirus belongs to the family of Coronaviridae. It is responsible for COVID-19 communicable disease, which has affected 213 countries and territories worldwide. Researchers in computational fields have been active in proposing techniques to filter the information and recommendations about this disease and provide surveillance in controlling this outbreak. Researchers used Chest X-ray images, abdominal Computed Tomography scans, and Tweet datasets for building machine learning and deep learning-based models for COVID-19 predictions and forecasting purposes. Accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, and F1-measure are the five primary evaluation criteria researchers employ to evaluate the quality of their study. This article summarises research works on COVID-19 based on machine learning and deep learning models. The analysis of these research works, along with their limitations and source of datasets, will give a quick start for future research to arrive at a defined direction. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2024.
