A Novel COVID-19 Diagnosis Support System Using the Stacking Approach and Transfer Learning Technique on Chest X-Ray Images

COVID-19 is an infectious disease-causing flu-like respiratory problem with various symptoms such as cough or fever, which in severe cases can cause pneumonia. The aim of this paper is to develop a rapid and accurate medical diagnosis support system to detect COVID-19 in chest X-ray images using a s...
