COVID-19 early detection for imbalanced or low number of data using a regularized cost-sensitive CapsNet
Abstract With the presence of novel coronavirus disease at the end of 2019, several approaches were proposed to help physicians detect the disease, such as using deep learning to recognize lung involvement based on the pattern of pneumonia. These approaches rely on analyzing the CT images and explor...
