Abstract

In the light of the COVID-19 outbreak in late 2019, numerous researchers have attempted to employ machine learning techniques to identify CT images of pneumonia patients. However, the approach may be marred by limitations such as low accuracy, deficient datasets and inadequate model utilization. This paper is committed to using machine learning to build multiple models and improve the accuracy. Infected and uninfected lung CT images are classified in the dataset containing more than 4,000 CT images, with the objective of aiding medical practitioners in diagnosing the disease. The method can be explained as firstly training with five basic machine learning models, among which the random forest model achieves a relatively high accuracy of 97.79%; secondly, using the multi-layer back propagation neural network and convolutional neural network to predict the training set respectively. Of the two models, the convolutional neural network demonstrates superior efficacy, achieving an accuracy rate of 94.27%. Finally, the transfer learning method is used to pretrain six different models, ultimately attaining a maximum accuracy rate of 90.73% on the Xception model.
